In 12 days, a book will go on sale revealing how the Manhattan DA investigation of Donald Trump fell apart. The DA warns it could derail the probe. The author thinks he's unencumbered. @thedailybeast got a copy of the secretive NDA he signed.
@thedailybeast The NDA is pretty clear. Attorneys are sworn to secrecy. Interestingly, there's a theory this contract no longer applied to Pomerantz when he was sworn in as the team's lead investigator. But DA's office says he still had to abide by *even more* restrictions as an assistant DA.
@thedailybeast Keep an eye on this fight. Grand juries are famously secret. Like, super secret. They're a black box. Yet this one is being thrust into the national spotlight by a dispirited lawyer, a DA's office scrambling to revive its biggest undertaking ever, and an angry ex-president.

Santos is a quickly accelerating train wreck, and the stories keep getting funnier. "Mr. Dee’s 'Gym' playlist includes songs like 'Adrenaline' and 'Sissy That Walk' by American drag queen RuPaul." Today's exclusive by @UrsulaPerano at @thedailybeast :
🤣🤣🤣 The congressman changed his account name *after* @UrsulaPerano called him. I mean, COME ON.
I almost fell off my chair laughing while reading @Schwartzesque 's story. This former FBI agent was taken down by his pissed off ex-girlfriend. As the poem goes, "Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor Hell a fury like a woman scorned."
If the nation sees a drop in consumer spending, it will be partly due to business making it harder to shop. Consumer experience has hit rock bottom.

Earlier this year, I exposed how a judge in West Virginia pulled out his gun on lawyers in his courtroom. He lied to me repeatedly. We proved it anyway. He just resigned.
