A bombshell news report has revealed that California prosecutors believed
Steven Mnuchin, Trump's pick for treasury secretary, and his company may
have been responsible for "widespread misconduct" and violations of
foreclosure law.1

The latest report comes on top of long-standing reports that Mnuchin, the
former Goldman Sachs partner known as the "foreclosure king," profited
handsomely off the financial crisis by foreclosing on thousands of elderly
homeowners.2

Mnuchin was already one of the worst of the slimy "swamp monsters" Trump
has handpicked for major roles in his administration. We need to seize on
the momentum from this report to make Mnuchin's nomination a major black eye
for this corrupt administration.

Mnuchin's company once changed the locks on one Minneapolis homeowner in
the middle of a blizzard. It even took a 90-year-old woman's home because
she owed 27 cents.3 Mnuchin made a huge profit by buying up IndyMac, a
mortgage lender, changing the name to OneWest and then targeting homeowners
for foreclosures. Mnuchin later sold OneWest for nearly twice what he paid
for it, profiting from economic pain.4

Under Mnuchin, OneWest ran a foreclosure mill responsible for nearly 40
percent of the reverse-mortgage foreclosures in the country even though it
had just 19 percent of the market. Shady lenders made grand promises to sell
elderly homeowners on risky reverse mortgages, and Mnuchin then swooped in
to take their homes when Wall Street's fraud was exposed and the economy
collapsed. OneWest reportedly engaged in illegal "robo-signing" – falsifying
documents – to kick people out of their homes.5

According to the latest report based on a leaked memo from the California
attorney general's office, OneWest faked paperwork to avoid delays that
would give homeowners time to save their homes, included backdating
paperwork to before the company even existed.6

Steve Mnuchin says he is "proud of his record at OneWest."7 We need to let
Republicans know voters disagree – and give Democrats the backbone to fight
his nomination tooth and nail.

As happened so many times at the federal level, the California attorney
general's office did not end up pursuing charges against Mnuchin and has not
offered an explanation.8 Regardless of the California accusations, Mnuchin's
overall record of mass foreclosures on struggling Americans is beyond doubt.

A former Goldman Sachs banker and hedge fund manager termed the
"foreclosure king" is the last thing we need at a time when Wall Street
already has too much power. The more resistance we can mount to Mnuchin, the
clearer it will become to endangered Republicans and even former Trump
voters that talk of "draining the swamp" was just a cover for a radical
agenda that benefits the super-rich.

remain silent while Republicans threaten to destroy everything we have
worked to build under President Obama.

We've got a climate change denier as head of the EPA, an Obamacare opponent
at the head of the HHS, our next Attorney General has been openly hostile
towards voting rights, and the Secretary of Education doesn't believe in
public schools.

And we're barely scratching the surface of Trump's dark and dismal vision
for America.

If we're going to have ANY chance of protecting our progress, Democrats
need to be ready to speak up and fight for the things we believe in.

Every second Democrats stay silent, Donald Trump gets more powerful.

Medicare. Planned Parenthood. Obamacare. Voting rights. Clean air and

Subject: Did Exxon Just Stage the Perfect Coup?

EXXON's CEO, Rex Tillerson is possibly the worst, most dangerous of all of
Trump's cabinet picks so far (and that's no small order). He's also the one
that we have the best chance of blocking. We're halfway there. GOP hawks are
concerned about his ties to Russia and the Dems are standing up to stop him.
We need to make sure they deliver the final blow: join us in demanding the
Senate block Rex's appointment.

The job of Secretary of State is one of the four most powerful positions in
the entire government. Appointing Rex Tillerson to this position is
tantamount to a total Exxon coup of our government and will profoundly
change the way America relates to the rest of the world.

When American foreign policy and oil mix, the results are catastrophic. Get
connected to your Senators now and demand they reject Rex.

The Secretary of State is the person who conducts our foreign affairs.
Let's say they wanted to lift the sanctions America currently has in place
against Russia. You know, the sanctions that are the only thing stopping a
2011 deal for EXXON to rip open the Russian Arctic? That'd be Rex
Tillerson's call -- the same guy who negotiated the deal with Putin in the
first place. EXXON has made Tillerson a gazillionaire. The math is obvious.

We can stop this. It's not just the Dems showing up: John McCain and
mainstream Republicans aren't huge fans of Tillerson's Russia ties either.
And Other98 will be making sure we're heard loud and clear: we'll be using a
giant projector to beam your messages onto the front of the State Department
in DC next week.

Make sure your Senators hear from you: write a personalized message to your
Senators and tell them to stop Rex Tillerson. Then, use our call tool to get
connected directly with their office and tell them again.

Thank you for everything you do, and for continuing to fight with us.

shooter's gun a month before airport attack after he reported himself
because he thought the CIA was making him fight for ISIS | 08 Jan 2017 | The
Iraq war veteran accused of killing five travelers and wounding six others
at a busy international airport in Florida was charged Saturday and could
face the death penalty if convicted. Esteban Santiago, 26, told
investigators that he planned the attack, buying a one-way ticket to the
Fort Lauderdale airport, a federal complaint said. Authorities don't know
why he chose his target and have not ruled out terrorism...It has also been
revealed that FBI agents took Santiago's gun off him when he went into an
Alaska field office in November to say the U.S. government was controlling
his mind. But it was returned to him just a month later, and law enforcement
will not reveal why. Sources told CNN he used the same weapon in the airport
attack.
