How long until Barr throws these prosecutors under the bus?

1. Don't know anything about it, but I imagine Barrack Obama is not worried a bit.

2. Tom Barrack

is one of Trump's few actual friends in the world. Or, at least somebody that gets along with Donny

4. I doubt it goes the other way.

You really should put his first name in your tweet for those who will think you’re talking about Pres. Obama -

10. D'OH, my bad, as!! I'm talkin about THIS "Barrack", or "Little Tommy", as I like to call him!!

Some White House advisers are unhappy with Thomas J. Barrack Jr., Trump’s longtime friend and chair of his inauguration, whom they hold responsible for keeping Gates in the Trump orbit long after Manafort resigned as campaign chairman in August 2016, according to people familiar with the situation. Barrack has been Gates’s patron of late, steering political work to him and, until Monday, employing him as director of the Washington office of his real estate investment company.

(Barrack hooked Manafort up w/MF45, apparently):

This must have seemed like a great idea to Barrack, as he could make two good friends happy at the same time. What he almost definitely didn’t then realize is that Manafort had an ulterior motive and was a desperate man.

Tom Barrack



Barrack and Elliot Broidy slipped major $$$ to Rick Gates in 2017:

Former Trump campaign official Rick Gates was paid tens of thousands of dollars in 2017 by a company headed by a leading Republican fundraiser and a firm headed by Donald Trump's inaugural committee chairman for help navigating the new administration, even as Gates was under criminal investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller, a new report says.

The New York Times article raises questions of why the two men, Elliott Broidy and Thomas Barrack, each of whom had close ties to the Republican Party and, in Barrack's case, to the president himself, were paying a lobbyist like Gates for guidance on how to deal with the new administration.
