Anyone who's worked DV or IPV in any capacity can well verify it, but here's an #FBI article about animal #cruelty and human #violence.
"research shows a well-documented link that it is a predictive or co-occurring crime with violence against humans (including intimate partners, children, and elders) and is associated with other types of violent offenses."
My sister's ex-husband used to be featured on the #FBI website for "cyber" scams. He tricked people on eBay into buying stuff that was broken or he'd refuse to ship it to the 5 people who all bought the same item.
Bove asks #Pecker about how #Comey & Trump later had a contentious relationship. Prosecutors object, & Bove asks for a sidebar. Justice #Merchan sustains the objection.
Pecker reiterates that #Trump thanked him at the Jan 6, 2017 meeting at Trump Tower, in front of a group of future admin ofcls.
#Bove is suggesting that #Pecker testified inconsistently: in 2018, acc/to #FBI notes, he told agents that Trump had not thanked him at the Jan 6 meeting. That contradicts w/what he said yesterday & again today. Pecker resisted the implication that he contradicted himself but agrees. Bove is satisfied& the jurors are excused for a break.
One of #Trump's hallmarks, even before he became president, was his tendency to treat everyone other than himself as not just beneath him [#narcissist] but unworthy of distinction & therefore equal in their subservience.
Meaning, he did not differentiate between the Director of the #FBI & the head of a supermarket #tabloid. In his mind they were just people who he thought owed him.
#Republicans — 3 who went on to work in the #Trump admin, while the 4th, #Comey, would eventually become one of Trump's chief adversaries. #Pecker, escorted by #Kushner, walked into that #shitshow & was then asked about #KarenMcDougal by the then president-elect.
Pecker testifies that in front of Comey [#WITNESSES!], the head of the #FBI, Trump thanked him for purchasing the stories - & likely committing AT LEAST 1 #CRIME in the process, as Pecker well knew.
Remember, Boris Epshteyn, a legal adviser to Trump, met with Special Counsel Jack Smith's office for several hours. Boris Epshteyn, under the leadership of Rudy Giuliani, was involved in the fraudulent electors' plot. The FBI has Epshteyn's phone.
New reporting suggests "the interview was largely focused on the efforts by criminal suspect #Don-the-Con and his allies to overturn trump's massive election loss." Previously, Epshteyn had said he was involved in the plans to create fake slates of electors.
In Ari Melber interview with Boris re: electors. Boris: "Everything was done ILLEGALLY under the direction of Rudy Giuliani". Ari's eyebrows rose up to his hairline.
Remember after the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago, Boris Epshteyn retroactively changed his agreement with the Scam America PAC from “consulting” to “legal” - perhaps to seek atty-client privilege protection.

Manafort is a convicted felon. It’s not just that he’s a Kremlin agent who was paid $10 million/year by Oleg Derispaska starting in 2006 to advance Putin’s interests in the United States.

Paul Manafort recently spent some time at the Trump's in Palm Beach, Florida. I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about…

DoJ's prosecutor Andrew Weissmann: Manafort Trump’s second campaign manager, met with a Putin ally to discuss a proposed deal that would have allowed Russia to invade #Ukraine, done with Trump's approval.
Donald betrayed our ally Ukraine and capitulated to Putin, who is a war criminal wanted by the #Hague for genocide of #Ukrainians. This guy is back working with Donald.
