When they wanted to release the files early this year, they paid $1M in overtime and put 1000 people on it - until they realized what was in the files. Now they’re slow walking the release.

It is a federal crime to deface federal buildings. And this crime is on steroids, 100 percent illegal to add his name to the Kennedy Center; include this in the long list of federal crimes committed by President Donald Trump.
Kennedy Center adds Trump’s name to building
The signage change follows a vote by the board of trustees to rename the performing arts complex “the Trump Kennedy Center.”

The building is statutorily named in honor of President John F. Kennedy as the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Congress has not given authorization to Trump & his token board to change the name. The name change requires legislation aka an Act of Congress.

Trump’s plan all along has been to steal Venezuela’s oil. Add that to the long list of international crimes he’s committed.

“Trump is asking U.S. oil companies if they’re interested in returning to Venezuela once Maduro is toppled…”

So far, the answer is a hard “no.””

The administration’s outreach to the industry, previously unreported, is the latest sign the White House is dreaming of a post-Maduro future for Venezuela.

He'll start a war to:

1. Distract from the Epstein Files
2. Steal oil
3. Justify emergency powers
4. Justify use of the AEA for deportation/internment
5. Help the drug lord he just pardoned

The man bankrupted 5 casinos, an airline & The Plaza Hotel among others. Why some Americans thought he’d be good for the economy is still a mystery to me. He only played a successful executive on TV; he was never one in real life. Trump’s business acumen is a figment of Mark Burnett’s imagination.

Trump also banned from entering the U.S. people from Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan and Syria. The administration also fully restricted travel on people with Palestinian-Authority-issued travel documents.
