I was wrong when I said no company would be impacted by Lukas Schubert’s stupid bill to punish corporations that knowingly make 5%+ of their income from child porn; apparently one of those companies *might* exist, but Donald Trump is already in business with them! Oh well! #mtpol

Binance willfully failed to report transactions on its platform by Al Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. But then Trump's crypto company made a multi-billion dollar deal in partnership with Binance, so Trump gave the founder a pardon. Shockingly brazen corruption.

Breaking News: President Trump wants $230 million from the Justice Department for investigating him, people familiar with the matter say. Any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit.

Senior department officials who were defense lawyers for the president and those in his orbit are now in jobs that typically must approve any such payout, underscoring potential ethical conflicts.

Vote is 3-2 in favor of removing President Molnar from the office of President. Only Governor Gianforte can further discipline or remove Molnar. Jennifer Fielder names herself as interim President until a new President is named and suggests a meeting next Tuesday. #mtpol #mtnews

During the debate on his removal, Molnar points out that he's the only full-time commissioner, and that he bought a house in Helena to better serve Montanans, while every other commissioner comes in to Helena from their hometown 1 day per week at most #mtpol #mtnews

3-2 vote passes to change the rules of the PSC to allow a simple majority to discipline commissioners. Welborn moves to have Molnar surrender the Gavel to Fielder for the following motion to vacate the Presidency of the PSC, which Molnar does. #mtpol #mtnews

Pinocci says it is unwise to allow a simple majority to discipline other elected commissioners and that an unnamed commissioner is using this to advance her political career. Bukacek makes a point of order on Pinocci calling that "derogatory" and is overruled by Molnar #mtpol

President Molnar now threatening contempt charges against Bukacek if she keeps making points of order. Molnar is refusing to recognize Bukacek's motions now. Bukacek moves to limit Molnar's speech, which eventually passes 3-2. Remember, these are all Republicans! #mtpol #mtnews
