RNC Asks Members to Avoid Poll Watching, Other ‘Ballot Security’ Activities
The RNC is under a consent decree that restricts the RNC from certain activities. The RNC is now getting worried that Trump's poll watcher program will violate that consent decree http://www.wsj.com/articles/rnc-asks-members-to-avoid-poll-watching-other-ballot-security-activities-1476925215
As part of a 1982 settlement in a lawsuit brought by Democrats, the RNC agreed to curb its efforts to monitor and challenge voter eligibility at the polls, especially in districts where the racial or ethnic composition of the electorate could be a factor in the outcome.
RNC general counsel John Ryder wrote to members on Wednesday to remind you of the restrictions placed on the RNC by the consent decree.
The RNC membership is made up of 168 state party representatives, three from each state and territory.
Trump's planned poll watcher activity will violate this decree unless Trump trains his poll watchers and these poll watchers resist their inclination to suppress the vote. Neither of these events are likely
If Trump sues NYT, can NYT use third party discovery to get Apprentice tapes?
Trump did not sue the NYT on the tax return article because it was clear that such a lawsuit would expose all of his tax returns. The NYT would be entitled to all of Trump's tax returns if Trump sued.
If Trump sues the NYT on the latest sexual abuse cases, I think that it would be fun to seek third party discovery on all of the tapes and transcripts of the Apprentice These tapes and transcripts would be relevant to the key issues in this case

Source: Washington Post
Donald Trump bragged in vulgar terms about kissing, groping and trying to have sex with women during a 2005 conversation caught on a hot microphone saying that when youre a star, they let you do it according to a video obtained by The Washington Post.
The video captures Trump talking with Billy Bush of Access Hollywood on a bus with Access Hollywood written across the side. They were arriving on the set of Days of Our Lives to tape a segment about Trumps upcoming cameo on the soap opera.
The tape obtained by the Post includes audio of Bush and Trumps conversation inside the bus, as well as audio and video once they emerge from it to begin shooting the segment.
In that audio, Trump discusses a failed attempt to seduce a woman, whose full name is not given in the video.

U.S. Gov’t Officially Accuses Russia of Hacking to Influence U.S. Election...
According to US intelligence sources, Russia trying to influence or change the US election http://electionlawblog.org/?p=87295
The U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of e-mails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations. The recent disclosures of alleged hacked e-mails on sites like DCLeaks.com and WikiLeaks and by the Guccifer 2.0 online persona are consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts. These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the US election process. Such activity is not new to Moscowthe Russians have used similar tactics and techniques across Europe and Eurasia, for example, to influence public opinion there. We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russias senior-most officials could have authorized these activities.
Some states have also recently seen scanning and probing of their election-related systems, which in most cases originated from servers operated by a Russian company. However, we are not now in a position to attribute this activity to the Russian Government. The USIC and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) assess that it would be extremely difficult for someone, including a nation-state actor, to alter actual ballot counts or election results by cyber attack or intrusion. This assessment is based on the decentralized nature of our election system in this country and the number of protections state and local election officials have in place. States ensure that voting machines are not connected to the Internet, and there are numerous checks and balances as well as extensive oversight at multiple levels built into our election process.
Nevertheless, DHS continues to urge state and local election officials to be vigilant and seek cybersecurity assistance from DHS. A number of states have already done so. DHS is providing several services to state and local election officials to assist in their cybersecurity. These services include cyber hygiene scans of Internet-facing systems, risk and vulnerability assessments, information sharing about cyber incidents, and best practices for securing voter registration databases and addressing potential cyber threats. DHS has convened an Election Infrastructure Cybersecurity Working Group with experts across all levels of government to raise awareness of cybersecurity risks potentially affecting election infrastructure and the elections process. Secretary Johnson and DHS officials are working directly with the National Association of Secretaries of State to offer assistance, share information, and provide additional resources to state and local officials.

Trump Foundation ordered to stop fundraising by N.Y. attorney general’s office
Source: Washington Post
The New York attorney general has notified Donald Trump that his charitable foundation is violating state law by soliciting donations without proper certification and ordered Trumps charity to stop its fundraising immediately, the attorney generals office said Monday.
James Sheehan, head of the attorney generals charities bureau, sent the notice of violation to the Donald J. Trump Foundation on Friday, according to a copy of the notice provided by the press office of state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D).
The night before that, The Washington Post had reported that Trumps charity had been soliciting donations from other people without being properly registered in New York state.
According to tax records, Trumps foundation has subsisted entirely on donations from others since 2008, when Trump gave his last personal donation. This year, the Trump Foundation made its most wide-ranging request for donations yet: it set up a public website, donaldtrumpforvets.com, to gather donations that Trump said would be passed on to veterans groups.
