I’ve had this avatar theory for awhile, and it’s not creative by any means but…

Jake closes his eyes, falling into a deep slumber, the synapses in his brain flare with bright technicolors dancing inside his lids, as he jolts awake.

He takes in his surrounding, as his heart pounds madly, the neurolink bed, he blinks several times in disbelief getting his bearings, hearing the sounds of distant whirring machines outside the pod. With a sudden whoosh, the bed opens, to a blurry Grace Augustine with a cigarette hanging from her mouth. “Jeeze kid, what’s wrong you look like you’ve seen a ghost?”

It was all a dream

Cited in the Russia report 65 times, her notes became Mueller's Nixon tapes

The scribe keeping track of the President's actions was Annie Donaldson, McGahn's chief of staff, a loyal and low-profile conservative lawyer who figures in the Mueller report as one of the most important narrators of internal White House turmoil.

Former White House counsel Don McGahn, pictured with Donald Trump, in August, 2018.Credit:AP Her daily habit of documenting conversations and meetings provided the special counsel's office with its version of the Nixon White House tapes: a running account of the President's actions, albeit in sentence fragments and concise descriptions. Among the episodes memorialised in Donaldson's notes and memos: the President's outrage when FBI director James Comey confirmed the existence of the investigation into possible ties between Russia and the Trump campaign, Trump's efforts to pressure Attorney-General Jeff Sessions not to recuse himself from overseeing the probe and his push to get Mueller disqualified and removed as the special counsel. The Harvard Law School graduate's unflinching words - "Just in the middle of another Russia Fiasco," she wrote on March 2, 2017 - have cast the die-hard Republican in an unfamiliar role: as a truth teller heralded by Trump's foes for providing what they view as proof he is unfit for office. House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerrold Nadler has already signalled that he intends to subpoena Donaldson as a critical witness. Loading Donaldson - who lives in Montgomery, Alabama, where her husband recently got a job as a federal prosecutor - did not respond to requests for comment. She left the White House in December, both proud of her service and also somewhat stung by her experience in Washington, friends said. Those close to Donaldson fear she will be thrust in the middle of the building war between congressional Democrats and the White House. Some privately worry she could become a target of the President, despite having worked hard to help implement his agenda. "My only concern for her now is not getting too caught up in this Washington meat grinder, when she really did the right thing and cooperated as she was directed," said former Republican senator Luther Strange, who hired Donaldson to work in his law firm in Alabama. 'Getting hotter and hotter' As McGahn's chief of staff, Donaldson was charged with managing 30 to 40 lawyers in the counsel's office, getting White House policies legally vetted, keeping judicial nominations on track and working with McGahn on Trump's top priorities. Along the way, she did what virtually all lawyers consider a necessity: kept a record of decisions, disputes, and tasks left to do. Nearly every day, when McGahn emerged from the Oval Office or other West Wing meetings, she would take notes as he recalled significant discussions with the President and his team, according to people familiar with her role. In the case of Nixon, the discovery of his White House taping system provided unquestionable proof of his role in a coverup of his campaign's illegal spying on opponents, precipitating his resignation in 1974. In Trump's case, Donaldson's notes depict McGahn and others as worried that the President could be accused of criminal obstruction - and as seeking to protect him from his impulses. In an entry on March 21, 2017, Donaldson recounts how Trump told McGahn he was furious with the testimony that Comey gave to Congress about the Russia probe the day before, sounding as if he might fire him on the spot. The President felt betrayed that Comey had failed to do as Trump had asked: to tell the public that he was not personally under investigation. "beside himself," she wrote of the President. "getting hotter and hotter, get rid?" McGahn was so concerned that Comey's firing was imminent that the counsel's office drafted a memo analysing the president's legal authority to do so, according to the report.

Annie Donaldson's notes were used extensively in Robert Mueller's report.Credit:ninevms McGahn's lawyer William Burck declined to comment. That day, Trump repeatedly pressured McGahn to get the Justice Department to intervene, Donaldson later told investigators. McGahn then called Assistant Attorney-General Dana Boente asking whether officials could "correct the misperception that the President was under investigation", the report said. At one point, McGahn warned the President that some of the actions he took - such as asking Comey to let go of his investigation of Flynn - could make him vulnerable to accusations of obstruction of justice. "biggest exposure . . . other contacts . . . calls . . . ask re: Flynn," Donaldson wrote that day. White House aides who know Donaldson said they are confident her notes are an accurate account of events in Trump's White House. For her part, Donaldson is dismayed her confidential work product - documenting sensitive conversations with the President that would normally be shielded from public view by executive privilege - is available for all to see, colleagues said. Loading "I doubt she had any notion that these notes would ever end up in anyone's hands, let alone Mueller's," said one former White House official, who requested anonymity to describe internal dynamics. White House advisers expect records of their confidential advice to the president to stay private, probably for decades, until they are released for historical archives. Bob Bauer, who served as White House counsel to President Obama, said Donaldson's notes bring the unprecedented nature of the Trump presidency into immediate focus. "It is impossible to imagine that these extensive notes were taken for any reason other than to document questionable presidential conduct and the counsel's office response," Bauer said. "It speaks volumes to the extraordinary challenges facing lawyers in this White House, and it raises the question: If this is what is necessary for lawyers to do their job, then how is it a job the lawyers should agree to do?" Friends and colleagues said McGahn trusted Donaldson, who worked as his associate at Jones Day, to make tough calls without him and to lead a team of deputies with their own impressive legal pedigrees. He had once compared their work relationship to that of a football coach and a defensive coordinator, according to one colleague. They had walked through all the films and plays together for so long that Donaldson knew his mind. As McGahn drank from a fire hose of meetings, deregulation debates and legal disputes, Donaldson was known for her careful tracking of small details. She met McGahn each morning with a to-do list she wanted him to tackle, and she gave similar lists to deputy counsels and associate lawyers. White House aides praised her ability to get the often prickly factions within the White House to respond to her requests. She sought to make sure McGahn was included in meetings in which some Trump advisers tried to avoid the lawyer's input. She displayed a quiet confidence, often speaking toward the end of a meeting rather than first, and made her points slowly and precisely. "She has a true desire to get things done," her friend and former boss Katie Biber, who worked with Donaldson on the 2008 Mitt Romney presidential campaign. "She's not trying to get credit." Loading "Don may have been the White House counsel, but Annie is the glue that held this all together," she added. There was one major exception to her low-key ways: Donaldson's red Corvette, an older model that once bore the vanity plate "RLL TIDE" in honor of her alma mater, the University of Alabama. She parked the Corvette on West Executive Drive; other senior White House aides would spot it there when they arrived for work and still there when they headed home, as she often arrived at the White House at 7am and stayed until 9pm. "The entire West Wing knew it was her car. It was always there," said one former administration official. "You'd walk in on a Saturday and see it: 'Oh yeah, Annie's already here.'" An unsung hero Donaldson had the legal credentials to pursue a Supreme Court clerkship, but she was smitten with politics, friends said. She joined Romney's presidential campaign in 2007, and when he lost the Republican primary to John McCain, she applied to Harvard Law. At Harvard, she served as both an editor of the Harvard Law Review and executive editor of its conservative sister publication, the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, a bastion of the Federalist Society. After graduating, she got a job as an associate lawyer at Patton Boggs, where she met McGahn. She worked for Romney's second presidential bid as a campaign lawyer in 2012, and then followed McGahn to work for him at Jones Day. There, she joined him in his work as legal counsel for the Trump campaign. At the White House, Donaldson played a significant role in helping push forward Trump's judicial nominations; a record 30 were seated on federal appellate courts in his first two years, double the amount of any previous administration. Loading "Annie is going to go down in history as a real unsung hero of the judicial nominations process," Biber said. But one nomination painfully singed Donaldson and her husband Brett Talley. Trump nominated Talley for a federal-district court seat in Alabama, but he was among a rare handful of nominees the American Bar Association rated "not qualified". Talley, who was a deputy in the Justice Department's Office of Legal Policy, had never tried a case in court. He withdrew his nomination amid questions that he failed to disclose he was married to a White House lawyer on public forms asking if any of his family could create potential conflicts. Donaldson had recused herself from his nomination. 'What about these notes?' After just eight months in the job, Donaldson would learn her notes were going to be turned over to federal investigators. Trump reacted angrily when he learned from a news report in February 2018 that McGahn kept a written record of their encounters, according to Mueller's report. "What about these notes? Why do you take notes?" Trump asked McGahn during a tense Oval Office confrontation. "Lawyers don't take notes. I never had a lawyer who took notes." (McGahn told investigators Trump was referring to Donaldson's notes, which the President thought of as McGahn's.) McGahn responded to the President that he keeps notes because he is a "real lawyer" and explained that notes create a record and are not a bad thing, according to the report. Trump replied: "I've had a lot of great lawyers, like Roy Cohn. He did not take notes." In the end, the President's desire for the investigation to come to a close ultimately led to the release of Donaldson's precise description of events. In an effort to speed up Mueller's review, then-White House lawyer Ty Cobb embraced a strategy of turning over all the administration's records to Mueller. McGahn privately warned that the approach would force him to divulge highly sensitive and privileged communications, and increase the chances that they would become public. His forecast proved true.

Vashtie is one of those creatives you can’t help but envy — rather than talking about the things she’s going to do, she goes out and does them. When she looked around in the early 2000s and didn’t see the world she wanted to see, she went out and created it for herself.

Growing up, her older brother would share with her his wild stories about ’90s New York. So when she finally moved there, she had some high expectations. Unfortunately, the culture she found was very different from what his stories had espoused. So, she she took things into her own hands; she started her own party, launched a clothing line and made a series of music videos — effectively shaping the community to match her early vision.

Back then sneaker culture wasn’t as pervasive with girls as it is now. However Vashtie, an OG Jordan-wearing tomboy, had the foresight to make her clothing line, VIOLETTE unisex at a time when such a thing was still rather alien. She was also the first girl to design a Jordan, an honor she still holds dear.

These days, she’s deejaying top-billed parties and keeping it 100 with her blog. WW caught up with this nightlife darling to discuss all her accomplishments, and how she manages to balance so much creative energy in a changing world.

Tell me about your style. You were a pioneer of women appreciating streetwear. I was always into streetwear and sneakers at a time when that wasn’t very common. The streetwear world was much smaller than it is now. Girls didn’t commonly wear sneakers or Jordans going anywhere; being a tomboy was really not okay — especially in New York City. I was always sort of dressed that way and so I stood out. I worked at Stussy, which was owned by James Jebbia (who started Supreme). So I was in that world — wearing Supreme in ’99.

I can’t even imagine no one wearing that stuff today! You have so many creative outlets; how did you get into all these different things? It’s a long story; I came to New York in 1999 to study film at the School of Visual Arts, specifically directing and cinematography. When I graduated school I was shopping around my reel looking for directing work, so I did a lot of smaller jobs here and there. Then I got asked to be Creative Director at Island Def Jam, did that for a year, but ultimately left because I wanted to pursue other personal projects. In 2007, I started directing more videos — I directed Justin Bieber’s first video, I worked with Kendrick Lamar, Solange.

You worked with a lot of people who later did very well for themselves. I was friends with a lot of people who were unknown at the time but are now big names. Around 2008 I was also writing for my blog, which was a fun way for me to connect with people. I was friends with Cudi, who was also unknown to the world at that time. On my blog I would just share random going-out stories and things like that. Then in 2010, I became the first girl to design a Jordan, again because I was sort of known as the girl who loved Jordans and wore Jordans. I started doing my own party in 2006 called 1992. It was featured in i-D and New York Times; we were flown to Paris and Amsterdam to do the party. A Tribe Called Quest asked me to help him with his party, and then we started doing this party every Friday night at Santa’s. Drake actually shouted me out recently on his song, “Walk It Like I Talk It.” He says, “With Vashtie at Santa’s,” because he used to come to that party. I’ve had collaborations with Puma, I did two collections of footwear and apparel; I did a G-Shock collaboration; I’ve deejayed for Madonna, Drake, Chance the Rapper, Dior.

I’m interested in this party, 1992. Tell me more about it. We started it in 2006. At the time New York City had kind of adopted this VIP, dress-code thing, whereas in the ’90s it wasn’t necessarily that way. Club culture went from being fun and creative to something else. I was too young to really experience the ’90s, but club-kid culture was something I was drooling over. So when I finally got to New York and wanted to go to a fun club, the club was VIP; there was a dress code and bottle service. So 1992 was sort of against that, wanting to create a space that was in celebration of the ’90s, but also welcoming to everyone who came.

Where are you from? Albany, New York — upstate.

So you were really close to all of it and knew about it. My brother was also eight years older than me, gay and into voguing and club-kid culture. He would go to New York on the weekends and tell me all the stories about Michael Alig, the Limelight and that really had an influence on me.

It seems like the ’90s was the last time when there was really an iconic place that everybody went to go dancing, and now it’s turned into parties. You must have seen New York change quite a bit. How do you feel about nightlife in NYC now? You know, I’ve grown to be a more positive person, so the way I see it now, I’m really accepting of how it is now. For a long time I was really sad. I think that we’re getting somehow a little closer to what New York was like in the ’90s; back then it wasn’t all so segregated, I knew straight boys who would go to gay clubs because they liked the music or whatever. It wasn’t this weird thing where it was like, you can’t go there because those people go there. I grew up when there was a stigma about being a person of color in the wrong place or LGBTQ. Whereas now I’ll talk to people who will just show up for a rock show or a young person who doesn’t necessarily identify with the queer community is like, “What’s the big deal if I hang out here?” You know? In that essence, I feel like right now it’s inclusive in a very positive way. As far as club culture goes, it’s now a money-making machine; there’s not that fun aspect anymore. Even if there is a fun party, they have to travel around. There isn’t a home base club that represents that wonderland of sorts. Santa’s is the last place I can think of; it was close to the Financial District. It was just a fun place; you could go for a reggae party, a house party, always something different.

Nightlife has such an interesting place in the creative industries, how do you feel about that? What is your take on nightlife’s connection to other creative fields? I always wanted to be an artist when I was a kid, and I think that even when I looked back on it — and I’ve never really thought about this until now — but the artists I always loved were intertwined with nightlife, like Andy Warhol and Madonna. I remember seeing artists like that on MTV when I was a kid. I knew Andy Warhol would go to Studio 54 or Madonna would go to Webster Hall and had her Bedtime Stories release party there — I remember MTV broadcasting that. Also, I find that artists are usually nocturnal. So there’s this connection too where you can meet with other creatives. There’s a lot of collaboration. I’ve met a lot of artists in a nightclub that I ended up working with or just making connections with in business. Nightlife is a relief in a way. It’s a judgment-free zone. It’s where you go to dance and have fun.

Tell me more about VIOLETTE. The brand really started from me being a tomboy and wanting to see clothes that I would wear. I would always be wearing men’s clothing. I wanted to create a brand that was unisex. I was designing the shirts myself, printing them and shipping them myself. There weren’t many representing my style at the time. Then through that I did the Jordan collaboration. It’s evolved in a really nice way.

I’m kind of confused about what it actually means to be a deejay. How would you describe the art of deejaying, other than just picking songs? Let me just clarify, there are a lot of deejays, and a lot of not-so-experienced deejays. I won’t say good or bad because I don’t like those terms, but there are all kinds of deejays. There are deejays who just randomly pick songs and play them, there are those who will hit play and are not actually deejaying. A real deejay is someone who knows how to mix from song to song, who can read the psychology of the room. If I go to a hip-hop club I know I should play hip hop, which is an easy gig. Most up-and-coming deejays know that playing trap music is the easiest thing of all time, but to play a crowd takes more. I recently did a Tommy Hilfiger fashion week event where there were so many different kinds of people in the room, including the people from the company, and a lot of them. You know, like Tommy Hilfiger himself was there. And they have said that they love rock music and classics. So if you’re in a room with Nicki Minaj and Tommy Hilfiger, what do you play? You want to satisfy everyone. For me, I love music. I have a deep connection with music, but also I know a lot of music, so I know that I can play Fleetwood Mac. I can also play Tom Petty, along with a lot of other things that will satisfy the room. So for me it’s about knowing music, knowing how to blend music. A lot of deejays don’t blend, they just go from song to song and disrupt the crowd. There’s also tech that you need to know within deejaying. Ultimately my job is to make the crowd feel good and get people dancing.
