    Default Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Pals Aimed To ‘Monetize’ Veterans Medical Records

    The inexperienced trio operated as a shadow administration in the Department of Veterans Affairs to pursue personal interests, says a joint House investigation.

    Three wealthy Donald Trump buddies who were members of his Mar-a-Lago golf resort were allowed by the then-president to order around officials of the Department of Veterans Affairs to serve their own interests, according to documents released Monday as part of a joint congressional investigation.

    Marvel Entertainment Chairman Ike Perlmutter, lawyer Marc Sherman and Palm Beach Dr. Bruce Moskowitz were empowered by Trump to interfere in pretty much anything they pleased at the VA as “advisers” as they pursued personal interests, according to information in the 19-month investigation released by the House Oversight and Veterans’ Affairs committees. Trump in 2017 announced they would “straighten out the VA.”

    None of the men had any experience in the military or in government.

    In once instance, the men discussed a “hugely profitable plan” to monetize the VA patient database, suggesting that Johnson & Johnson, Apple and CVS could profit from access to the VA’s electronic medical records, according to congressional investigators.

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    Trump and his pals just seem to think the only way to get wealth is by taking it from someone else.

    Whatever happened to earning it the old fashioned way?

    And getting the feeling of accomplishment that goes with it?

    What a bunch of dangerous hacks who should never be allowed near power of any kind!
