Jan. 6 rally organizers had been on Trump campaign payroll, documents show

Following the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol, many have scrambled to distance themselves from involvement in the tumultuous event that spawned the mob

“Members of President Donald Trump’s failed presidential campaign played key roles in orchestrating the Washington rally that spawned a deadly assault on the U.S. Capitol, according to an Associated Press review of records, undercutting claims the event was the brainchild of the president’s grassroots supporters. ...

“[A]n attachment to the National Park Service public gathering permit granted to the group lists more than half a dozen people in staff positions for the event who just weeks earlier had been paid thousands of dollars by Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign. Other staff scheduled to be ‘on site’ during the demonstration have close ties to the White House. ...

“At least one was working for the Trump campaign this month. Megan Powers was listed as one of two operations managers for the Jan. 6 event, and her LinkedIn profile says she was the Trump campaign’s director of operations into January 2021. ...

“Caroline Wren, a veteran GOP fundraiser, is named as a ‘VIP Advisor’ on an attachment to the permit that Women for America First provided to the agency. Between mid-March and mid-November, Donald J. Trump for President Inc. paid Wren $20,000 a month, according to Federal Election Commission records. During the campaign, she was a national finance consultant for Trump Victory, a joint fundraising committee between the president’s re-election campaign and the Republican National Committee. ... Wren was involved in at least one call before the pro-Trump rally with members of several groups listed as rally participants to organize credentials for VIP attendees ...

“Maggie Mulvaney, a niece of former top Trump aide Mick Mulvaney, is listed on the permit attachment as the ‘VIP Lead.’ She worked as director of finance operations for the Trump campaign, according to her LinkedIn profile. FEC records show Maggie Mulvaney was earning $5,000 every two weeks from Trump’s re-election campaign, with the most recent payment reported on Nov. 13. ...

“Justin Caporale is listed on the Women for America First paperwork as the event’s project manager. He’s identified as a partner with Event Strategies Inc., a management and production company. Caporale, formerly a top aide to first lady Melania Trump, was on the Trump campaign payroll for most of 2020, according to the FEC records, and he most recently was being paid $7,500 every two weeks. ...

“Tim Unes, the founder and president of Event Strategies, was the ‘stage manager’ for the Jan. 6 rally, according to the permit paperwork. Unes has long-standing ties to Trump, a connection he highlights on his company’s website. Trump’s presidential campaign paid Event Strategies $1.3 million in 2020 for ‘audio visual services,’ according to the campaign finance records. ...

“Another person with close ties to the Trump administration, Hannah Salem, was the rally’s ‘operations manager for logistics and communications,’ according to the permit paperwork. In 2017, she took a hiatus from the consulting firm she founded and spent three years as senior White House press aide, ‘executing the media strategy for President Trump’s most high-profile events,’ according to her company bio and LinkedIn profile.”

My party is very interested in deficits when there is a Democrat in the White House...The worst thing in the whole world is deficits when Barack Obama was the President. Then Donald Trump became president, and we’re a lot less interested as a party.

Trump White House Now Just Openly Courting Corruption

Mick Mulvaney is actively encouraging bankers to bribe lawmakers to get what they want.

“ ... “We had a hierarchy in my office in Congress,” Mulvaney said at an American Bankers Association conference, where 1,300 bankers and lending-industry officials had gathered to hear him speak. “If you’re a lobbyist who never gave us money, I didn’t talk to you. If you’re a lobbyist who gave us money, I might talk to you.” A spokesperson would later half-heartedly claim that this was taken out of context, but it wasn’t a slip of the tongue—he literally believes this is how the government should run. Manipulating lawmakers with campaign contributions is one of the “fundamental underpinnings of our representative democracy,” Mulvaney explained. “And you have to continue to do it.” ... “

“ ... Mulvaney, who also runs the White House Office of Management and Budget, would know. As a congressman from South Carolina, Mulvaney received almost $63,000 from payday lenders. When he took over the C.F.P.B., one of his first moves was to pay it forward by declaring open season  on vulnerable debtors stuck paying usurious fees to white-collar loan sharks. In January, he directed the C.F.P.B. to drop its lawsuit against a group of lenders in Kansas who were allegedly charging interest rates as high as 950 percent. The bureau did not give any explanation.  ... “

“ ... Noting that the agency will likely shut down public access to a Web portal that has allowed hundreds of thousands of people to log complaints against financial companies, Mulvaney told the audience, “I don’t see anything in here that says I have to run a Yelp for financial services sponsored by the federal government.” ... “

Trump's Budget Endangers American Workers

After the president issued a budget last week slashing and burning environmental, labor and educational programs, the guy responsible for the thing, Mick...

Mulvaney, director of the Office of Management and Budget, asserted that members of my union, the United Steelworkers (USW), coal miners and urban parents are eager to kill off Public Broadcasting’s Big Bird, to drink lead-laden water, to breathe cough-inducing air and to work among life-threatening dangers.

This illustrates a complete lack of knowledge of the working and living conditions of huge swaths of Americans. Big Bird and Mr. Rogers are way more popular than Congress. Americans would much rather pay their freight than the wages of politicians. Americans are horrified by the poisoned water in Flint, Mich., and are willing to invest in an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that would prevent such health hazards. And steelworkers and coal miners have seen dismemberment and death on the job and don’t want the Chemical Safety Board (CSB) eliminated or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) decimated.
