Posted up at the #Oklahoma Development Finance Authority again today because I lover #bankers and also figure the $4 billion #securitization program of February's #okwx-related utility debt should be monitored.
Buckle up for a thread!

Board member Bridger Cox and Secretary Brent Kisling are not in attendance today. Chairman Roger Wagner introduces a woman named Katherine (Catherine?) to go over financials. Says "over the last 11 months, ODFA has held an average cash balance of $9.1 million."
"The current balance sheet is very in line with our budgeted balance sheet," she says, adding that composition of general fund revenue has changed. Gone from $104,000 to $213,000 in closing cost revenue year to year.
Interest rate has declined on cash balance.
Lotta money.

These concerns for #PA01 & 🇺🇸were well-founded. We know now from #Woodward's book that the Trump admin & GOP were minimizing the spread and health risks of #COVID19.
@RepBrianFitz🤥 made his false statements on Mar 23, which were debunked by @PolitiFact the next month.

@RepBrianFitz started & co-chaired a House #CoronavirusTaskForce on March 3, which was to make #COVID19 "facts" available to his #PA01 & the US public. He cited his House #ForeignAffairs experience as pertinent to recognizing/preparing for global crises.

But what @RepBrianFitz was actually doing with #ForeignAffairs platform was to concoct lies and diversions around his false #SouthKorea trajectory statement on right wing conservative #PA01 radio on March 23
#Trump LIED at town hall
Downplaying the virus
"Well, I didn't downplay it. I actually -- in many ways I up-played it in terms of action”

Seniors
“So I didn't say anything bad about President Xi initially, because nobody knew much about the disease. Nobody knew the seniors are susceptible”
FACTS FIRST
Chinese officials emphasized in January that elderly people with chronic diseases were at a highest risk

Il nuovo libro di #Woodward rivela (con audio presidenziale) che Trump ha ridimensionato il pericolo #coronavirus con l'opinione pubblica. Un bel guaio in vista del voto/1 nytimes.com/2020/09/09/us/…
Nel libro di #Woodward torna anche il rapporto con i militari che fa discutere per via dell'articolo di Atlantic: "Si preoccupano più delle loro alleanze che degli accordi commerciali". Trump chiama i militari USA "suckers" perché spendono troppo per proteggere la Corea del Sud/2
#Woodward riferisce di una conversazione tra l'ex segretario alla Difesa Mattis e Dan Coats, direttore della National Intelligence, nella quale i due commentano l'inadeguatezza del presidente Trump e si dicono "dovremmo parlarne in pubblico"./3
[Thread] 👇 Journalist Bob #Woodward's new book 'Rage' covers #COVID19, Trumps relationship with Kim Jong Un, and blackmail. businessinsider.com/8-most-shockin…
@realDonaldTrump admits he played down the pandemic, and told Woodward that the virus is "more deadly than even your strenuous flus." For weeks after that conversation, Trump repeatedly told the public that the coronavirus was no worse than the seasonal flu.
The US has the worst COVID-19 numbers in the world in terms of cases and fatalities, but Trump consistently diminished the threat to the public. businessinsider.com/trump-repeated…
Now that I’ve read through some of the #Woodward #Rage stories, here is my take:
· None of this will change any minds. For those that hate #PresidentTrump, this reinforces it. For those that love the President, this won’t change that. 1/13
· None of this will change any minds. For those that hate #PresidentTrump, this reinforces it. For those that love the President, this won’t change that. 1/13
· As far as #COVID and downplaying the virus when you read the reports it sounds bad, but when you listen to the audio, I understand the idea of not creating a panic. 2/13
· No one, including the scientists, knew what they were dealing with, hence the reason it’s novel, & there is still a lot to be learned of the virus. 3/13
And this, being overshadowed by the #Woodward stuff, isn't even getting the coverage it deserves (this is truly banana republic):

#Breaking C'est confirmé, #Manafort passe 1 accord de plaider coupable avec #Mueller mais on ne sait toujours pas s'il coopèrera contre #Trump à l'enquête fédérale sur la collusion avec la #Russie. washingtonpost.com/world/national…
#Breaking BADABOUM...Il est 18h41 dans mon TGV et je commence le live-#lecture du Fear de #Woodward sur #Trump ci-dessous...A dérouler donc #thread
2) #Woodward sort immédiatement une de ses plus grosses cartouches de la gibecière: la lettre présidentielle dérobée en septembre 2017 par le conseiller économique Gary Cohn sur le bureau de #Trump afin d'éviter la rupture de l'alliance avec la #CoréeduSud...
3) Sauf que Cohn, qui ne travaille plus à la Maison Blanche, vient pourtant de désavouer à l'instant le travail de #Woodward sur #Trump...Dur pour le bouquin. axios.com/gary-cohn-stat…
La partie d'échecs entre #Trump et #Woodward s'intensifie. #Trump a 1 stratégie offensive mais risquée. Sa négation des paroles prêtées par le journaliste du Post peut se retourner contre lui: combien parmi les sources de Woodward auront fait comme Omarosa et tout enregistré? 1/
2) D'ailleurs, et même si c'est plus anecdotique (quoique), #Trump a déjà été pris en défaut face à #Woodward sur un déni quant à #Sessions. Il niait avoir jamais utilisé le mot"demeuré"dans sa vie. C'est faux et pas qu'1 fois. Les bandes parlent. washingtonpost.com/politics/video…
Meanwhile “Crazytown” WH per new Woodward book: After a mock Mueller interview in which Trump stumbled, contradicted himself and lied about the Russia investigation, Trump lost it and started ranting “This thing’s a goddamn hoax. I don’t want to testify” washingtonpost.com/politics/bob-w…

Mattis compares Trump to 5th/6th grader

🔥 From Bob Woodward’s new book: Current and former WH staffers, officials & lawyers describe Trump as an “idiot,” “unhinged,” “liar,” “moron,” “erotic,” “incapable of telling the truth,” “off the rails,” “has the understanding of a 5th or 6th grader”… w/ and w/o expletives.
