President Donald Trump has begun the initial steps of preparing for a possible interview with the special counsel, a White House official and a person familiar with the situation said Friday, a sign the President's legal team is intensifying its deliberations over whether to allow him to come under Robert Mueller's questioning.
One source familiar with the proceedings stressed the preparation efforts is "in its infancy."
The preparations have been short and informal and included going over potential topics with the President that Mueller would likely raise in an interview, the people said.
The President has not formally agreed to sit for an interview with Mueller.
But word of early preparations is the clearest sign yet that Trump and his team remain open to an interview with Mueller, despite concerns from some people close to the President that such an interview could expose him to possible charges of perjury.
Okay I am going to admit to being a little conflicted about this.
Part of me is convinced that Trump will NEVER voluntarily agree to be interviewed by Mueller and his team. After all it would be political suicide.
However then I remember how completely fucking arrogant this POS is and I think there is no way he will NOT volunteer to be interviewed, just to demonstrate his courage and intellectual prowess.
Ultimately I think that Mueller WILL interview him one way or another.
Just not sure exactly how that will come about.

DeleteTrump Tower is on fire. SO??
"It does not appear to have been a code violation – it was grandfathered in. But there were no sprinklers in the upper floors of Trump Tower. From the AP …
DeleteTrump tweeted that the fire was “Very confined (well built building).”
Asked if that assessment was accurate, Nigro said, “It’s a well built building. The upper floors, the residence floors, are not sprinklered.”
Fire sprinklers were not required in New York City highrises when Trump Tower was completed in 1983.
Subsequent updates to the building code required commercial skyscrapers to install the sprinklers retroactively, but owners of older residential highrises are not required to install sprinklers unless the building undergoes major renovations.
The 664-foot Trump Tower has 58 stories, though the TOP floor is numbered 68." <another lie! TPM

After one person died in a fire at Trump Tower on Saturday, CBS News noted that Trump had not fought against legislation to require sprinklers in residential skyscrapers.

After a fire in a residential building in 1999, then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani called for the sprinkler legislation, putting him at odds with his longtime friend.
According to The New York Post, Trump called at least six city council members to lobby against the sprinkler rules, and he even retired the campaign debt of one councilman at a cost of $5,000."
" Trump Tower was not required to have sprinklers because it was built 15 years prior to the rules, and Trump never did install sprinklers on the residential floors of the building." C&L
A woman that lives in the building said there was no evacuation notice and no one at the front desk was answering the phone.
DeleteShe called to son to say goodbye because she thought it was the end and that they were going to die.
Trump is a slum landlord and I am sure he is proud to have gotten around those pesky sprinkler regulations in order to save some money. Instead of sending condolences he was tweeting about Hillary.
How will trump turn this around to it is all Hillary and Obama's fault?
I am sure he would not want to make the residential floors safe.
DeleteHe could do only the apartments where he and his family would be. Did he have sprinklers in Barron's living space?

Here’s one of the most common questions I get from students:
ReplyDelete“How is cold email different from spam?”
Cold email and spam are polar opposites.
Here’s why…
Spam:
• Uses a fake name
• Doesn’t include contact information
• Isn’t personalized (the same email is sent to several
people)
• Isn’t meant to start a conversation; rather, it’s usually targeting a direct purchase.
• Has a commercial motive.
Spam is an example of a one-to-many email.
Can you see the difference?
This cold email does three things:
• It addresses the recipient directly.
• It has a highly specific and relevant request.
• And it mentions a common contact.
I’m not trying to push a product, or get anyone on the phone for a long conversation.
The real world equivalent of this email would be like saying, “Hi,” to a friend of a friend you bumped into at a conference.
It’s not pushy.
It’s not annoying.
And it’s perfectly reasonable, as long as your call to action isn’t overly aggressive.
For example: “Buy my product!”
Sounds pushy, right?
But if you say: “Let’s get coffee sometime!”
That sounds a lot better.
Want a ‘sniff test’ for spam vs. cold email?
Before you send out a cold email, ask yourself:
Would I be comfortable saying this to someone I met at a conference for the first time?
If the answer is no, then it’s likely spam. If the answer is yes, then it’s a cold email.
Keep in mind that spam is illegal. Send too much spam and you will run afoul of CAN SPAM laws.
Are you clear about whether an email falls under the CAN SPAM
laws?
It can be tricky. So let me break it down:
As per FTC, all emails can contain three types of
information:
• Commercial content, such as selling a product, promoting a sale, etc.
• Relationship or transactional content, such as a bank sending
its customer a bank statement, an e-commerce store sharing transaction details, or a blogger sending a message to his list of subscribers.
• Other content, which can range from personal content to mixed (relationship + commercial) content.
According to FTC’s regulations, the purpose
of an email decides whether it needs to comply with spam laws.
If the email is primarily commercial – or
is deemed to be so by the recipient – it has to comply with
spam laws.
A well-crafted cold email might have a commercial tilt,
but it also offers significant value.
Now, let’s get into how you can write amazing cold emails that convert!
Hi (recipient’s first name),
My name is (your first name), and I’m (title) at (company name).
We are currently offering (describe product/service).
This is just an educated stab in the dark, but based on your online
profile, you seem to be the right person to connect with.
Or, if not, maybe you can point me in the right direction?
I’d like to speak with someone from (company name) who’s responsible for (position relevant to your product/service).
If that’s you, are you open to a 15-minute call on (specific time/date) to discuss ways (service/product) can more specifically help your business?
Or, if not you, can you please put me in touch with the right person?
I’d appreciate the help!

Look what Trump's SS is going to do now:
https://www.yahoo.com/news/homeland-security-compile-database-journalists-033942612.html
"The Department of Homeland Security sparked concerns among media circles after news spread that the agency was creating an online database to monitor journalists, bloggers, social media influencers and others.
Word got out after Bloomberg Law surfaced a job posting from DHS seeking a contractor for a “media monitoring services” project. The job entails creating a searchable database that has the ability to track about 290,000 news sources, both foreign and domestic, according to the DHS’s statement of work.
The contractor will help DHS monitor “traditional news sources as well as social media, identify any and all media coverage related to the Department of Homeland Security or a particular event,” the job description reads."
He's compiling his own blacklist of those that are loyal and targets to eliminate.
"“Services shall provide media comparison tools, design and rebranding tools, communication tools, and the ability to identify top media influencers.”
The online platform should also be able to instantly translate media from 100 languages, including Chinese and Russian, into English. It should also be able to analyze the coverage’s “sentiment” and “momentum.”
With President Donald Trump’s aggressive rhetoric against the mainstream news ― he once labeled journalists as the “enemy of the people” ― many in the media industry saw the database as yet another attack on the free press."

The proposal’s title refers to a measure in the Endangered Species Act that extends protections to hundreds of threatened plant and animal species. "
"The Interior Department’s move to eliminate the rule comes after two petitions to rescind it were filed by the libertarian Pacific Legal Foundation.
