Yesterday a #Federal judge barred parts of an insane illegal heavy handed and chilling childlike #DJT #ExecutiveOrder targeting exclusively employees and clients of a large influential #DC #beltway #lawfirm he doesn't like.
Known as #PerkinsCoie , the 100+ yr old firm started in #Seattle and has long represented biz & top tech clients including #Amazon & #Microsoft etc, as well as many other #Fortune500 names .
The #RWNJ #HoiPolloi anger at the firm has to do with the fact #PerkinsCoie attorneys helped commission the embarrassing and disputed #SteeleDossier that included allegations against a failed NJ casino operator turned political candidate.who eventually became President TWICE!
The far reaching petty #policestate and draconian #Drumpf overreach would've made it virtually impossible for #employees or any of the 1000+ #attorneys at the firm to do biz in #DC . The order barred firm partners from even speaking to #federalemployees, or to physically enter any govt #property including #courtrooms etc.

#SteeleDossier talking about about Trump's relationship with Putin in 2016 and RIGHT NOW.
#Blanche turns to Aug 2018, when #MichaelCohen decided to cooperate w/the special counsel who was investigating the Trump campaign's possible ties to #Russia.
Cohen is asked about the infamous #SteeleDossier, a compendium of opposition research put together by various people looking to stop Trump in 2016, filled w/salacious allegations. At the time, Cohen was enraged about allegations about him that were in there, which he said were false.

#SteeleDossier is back in the news. So reminder:
1. #Dossier was a work of human intel, not journalism or criminal investigation. Every allegation was qualified, explaining its sourcing
2. Many allegations, e.g Trump campaign had many Russia contacts, proven true
3. Mueller never really investigated Trump/Russia links in dossier. Eg he said Cohen never went to Prague. But he never looked at Cohen's credit cards, phone records, etc. He just took Cohen's word for it. https://www.amazon.com/Crime-Progress-Inside-Dossier-Investigation/dp/059313415X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1EGGDE0JO0R53&keywords=crime+in+progress+inside+the+steele&qid=1578445044&sprefix=crime+in+progress%2Caps%2C354&sr=8-1
