Good note from
@emptywheel here. Has anyone figured out who this was?https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/983481090487799808 …Show this thread -
Note: Although people keep referring to Berman, the US Atty in SDNY, as a Trump nominee, he is not. Although backed by the White House, he's not been nominated for the role. Right now, he's a Sessions appointee to the job. https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/federal-agents-seize-communications-of-trumps-personal?utm_term=.jprxJaElR#.gcDMk86qK …pic.twitter.com/PqHLRpd3F5

Trump, like Louis XIV, believes "l'état, c'est moi"
