"Morning Papers"

The Rooster

"Okeydoke"

I am quite sure Former FBI Director Mueller knows President Trump and the Trump Company had a syndicate of lawyers.

President Trump brought his lead and Cheif Legal Officer with him to the White House.

Jason Dov Greenblatt (click here) (born 1966/67) is an American lawyer. He was the executive vice president and chief legal officer to Donald Trump and The Trump Organization, and is his advisor on Israel. In January 2017, he was appointed as the United States Special Representative for International Negotiations by President Donald Trump.

Greenblatt is the son of Hungarian Jewish refugees, and grew up in Queens, New York City. During World War II, his father fled Szatmárcseke in 1941 as a child, while his mother hid in Budapest with her family during the Nazi occupation, and fled to the United States after the Hungarian Revolution in 1956. He is the first cousin, once removed, of anti-war activist Robert Greenblatt.

Greenblatt was educated at the Marsha Stern Talmudical Academy, followed by Yeshiva University. In 1992, Greenblatt received a JD degree from the New York University School of Law.

Greenblatt has worked for Trump since 1997, rising to executive vice president and chief legal officer to Trump and the Trump Organization, and his advisor on Israel.

Greenblatt favors a two-state solution, reached by the parties concerned and not imposed from outside by a body such as the United Nations. Greenblatt has stated that "West Bank settlements are not an obstacle to peace"

In late December 2016, Trump named Greenblatt as his Representative for International Negotiations for his incoming administration. In 2017, Greenblatt led a listening tour in which he visited representatives from Israel, the Yesha Council, and the Palestinian Authority.

Of course, everyone knows, The so called anti-war activist first cousin is none other than Chairman of NBC Entertainment. There is nothing like being connected. The interesting thing about Robert Greenblatt is he was once affiliated with Murdoch's FOX Broadcasting. I suppose everyone needs to start somewhere.

Wasn't "The Apprentice" an NBC production? There are a lot of interesting folks affiliated with that show, too. For example, Mr. George Ross was once Executive Vice President and Senior Counsel to the Trump Organization. The list is long and distinguished.


Robert Greenblatt (click here) joined NBCUniversal in January 2011 as Chairman, NBC Entertainment and reports to NBCU Chief Executive Officer Steve Burke. In this role, Greenblatt is responsible for all aspects of primetime, late night, daytime, and first-run syndication programming.

He also oversees Universal Television and Universal Television Alternative Studio, which combined currently produce nearly 40 scripted series as well as late-night and reality programs for a variety of networks and digital platforms. In addition to shows for NBC primetime, such as the successful “Chicago” franchise, “Shades of Blue,” “Superstore” and all of NBC’s hit late-night lineup, Universal Television also produces four prestigious non-NBC comedies: the Golden Globe-winning “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” (Fox), the Emmy Award-winning “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” the Emmy-winning “Master of None” for Netflix, and “The Mindy Project” for Hulu. Dramas include “Gypsy” on Netflix, “The Path” on Hulu and “The Bold Type” on Freeform....
