    CHINESE STATE-OWNED CHEMICAL FIRM JOINS DARK MONEY GROUP POURING CASH INTO U.S. ELECTIONS


    WANHUA CHEMICAL, A $10 billion chemical company controlled by the Chinese government, now has an avenue to influence American elections.


    On Monday, Wanhua joined the American Chemistry Council, a lobby organization for chemical manufacturers that is unusually aggressive in intervening in U.S. politics.


    The ACC is a prominent recipient of so-called dark money — that is, unlimited amounts of cash from corporations or individuals the origins of which are only disclosed to the IRS, not the public.


    During the 2012, 2014, and 2016 election cycles, the ACC took this dark money and spent over $40 million of it on contributions to super PACs, lobbying, and direct expenditures.


    (Additional money flowed directly to candidates via the ACC’s political action committee.)


    For example, in 2012 the ACC was the largest single donor funding last-minute ads attempting to save former Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., then-House Majority Leader, during his losing primary campaign.



    The ACC donated $50,000 to a super PAC supporting the 2014 campaign of GOP Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana for the state’s governorship.


    And while lobbying to revamp federal chemical safety standards in 2015, the ACC simultaneously aired advertisements in support of key legislators who were then crafting an industry-friendly version of the legislation.

    Trump Says 'Many Lawyers Want To Represent Me' Even As Legal Team Shrinks

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-say...162608952.html
    President Donald Trump on Sunday lashed out at suggestions that he was having difficulty hiring lawyers to help him handle the Russia probe ― even as news emerged that he would not be hiring two attorneys who’d recently been tapped to join his embattled legal team.

    The New York Times reported on Sunday that lawyers Joe diGenova, who is known for his aggressive style and was supposed to replace Trump’s top attorney, and diGenova’s wife, Victoria Toensing, would not be joining the legal team because of unspecified “conflicts.”
    Advice is not going to get any better. No one wants to be captain of a sinking ship.

    I can't wait for him to be deposed, multiple times, under oath, about his sexual assaults and more, with ty legal advice and the belief that he knows best.

    House Republicans are realizing that ending their Russia investigation so soon made them look ridiculous

    House Republicans appear to be realizing that they undermined their credibility when they reported their conclusions about the Russia investigation this week

    Not only did the committee members say they have seen no evidence of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign—which Democrats on the committee strongly dispute—they also said they don’t believe the Kremlin’s intention was to help elect President Donald Trump.

    This conclusion flies in the face of the well-known views of U.S. intelligence agencies and also contradicts the most recent
    indictment filed by special counsel Robert Mueller.

    one of the Russian troll farms working to interfere in the election gave instructions to “use any opportunity to criticize Hillary and the rest (except Sanders and Trump—we support them).”

    The mixed messaging and dubious conclusions are a public embarrassment, and any report the House Intelligence Committee ends up producing will have little credibility.

    These fractures among House Republicans reveal a party not unified in how far it is prepared to go to back Trump.
