Media fight Kushners for names of partners in Md. buildings

NEW YORK (AP) — News outlets including The Associated Press filed a motion in federal court Friday arguing that a document containing the names of investors in some Kushner Cos. apartment buildings in Maryland should be unsealed and available to the media.

The Kushner Cos. has argued that the privacy rights of its partners in its Maryland buildings outweigh the public interest in the disclosure, saying the media’s “politically-motivated” coverage of the case puts those rights — and the partners’ reputations — at risk. President Donald Trump’s son-in law, Jared Kushner, was CEO of the company before becoming an adviser to the president earlier this year.

The case before U.S. district court in Maryland was brought by tenants alleging a Kushner Cos. subsidiary called Westminster Management charges excessive and illegal rent. The lawsuit seeks class action status for tenants in the 17 apartment complexes owned by the company in the state.

The Kushner Cos. has said it has broken no laws and denies the charges.

Trent Franks

Can someone explain why a pro-life/anti-abortion extremist like Franks would disregard his God's rather obvious plan for him and his wife to be barren to the point of impregnating a stranger? How does he justify that? tia

DON'T TELL ISRAEL

1. Trump only recognized Jerusalem to pander to American Evangelicals.
2. Evangelicals only want Israel to exist because God can't destroy it per New Testament if it doesn't.
3. Evangelicals need Jews killed to start a Second Coming so Christians get a jackpot.

The Evidence Is Damning: What Team Trump Knew and When

We already know that the Trump campaign was aware of — and intended to profit from — Moscow’s interference in the election.

The circumstantial evidence suggesting that the Trump campaign collaborated with the Kremlin to get now-President Donald Trump elected continues to mount. But even if it turns out that there was no direct “collusion” to shape the 2016 election, what we have learned so far — including most recently from retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn’s guilty plea this past week — is incredibly troubling. The evidence is now irrefutable that Trump, his associates, and Republican leadership more broadly conspired to give Moscow a pass despite (or perhaps because of) Russia’s attack on our democracy.

While much remains unknown about the full extent and nature of the relationship between Team Trump and Russia’s 2016 election activities, we actually know a great deal already. We know that Kremlin intermediaries reached out to Trump foreign-policy advisor George Papadopoulos and then to Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., in the spring of 2016 offering “dirt” on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton (including, in Papadopoulos’s case, an offer of “thousands of emails”). We know that several other senior Trump campaign officials were aware of these approaches, failed to report them to the FBI, and encouraged the outreach. We also know that, in the summer of 2016, then candidate Trump called on Russia to “find” Clinton’s missing emails, and that several campaign surrogates (including Roger Stone and the Trump campaign’s data firm Cambridge Analytica) and at least one prominent Republican operative (Peter W. Smith) reached out to WikiLeaks (which was laundering information for Moscow) and to Russian hackers to get additional dirt on Clinton.
