Judge directs internal Trump University documents to be released

Judge directs internal Trump University documents to be released

By Kevin Bohn, CNN

http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/28/politics/trump-university-donald-trump-documents/index.html

"SNIP............



Washington (CNN) — A judge overseeing a lawsuit filed against Donald Trump regarding his closed real estate education program called Trump University has ruled parts of internal documents, including "playbooks" regarding running the enterprise, should be released as part of the case.

The playbooks, which include ones from 2009 and 2010, detail how the venture worked, how Trump University events were run and how to sell programs to customers.

From 2005 to 2010, when the program closed, about 10,000 students across the nation signed up for Trump University classes, which promised success in real estate by offering courses and seminars based on the principles of the businessman.

Now Trump University is the focus of two class action lawsuits in San Diego by some students who claim they were defrauded and a separate suit filed by the New York attorney general.

The unfortunate thing is, his supporters don't see, to care that he is a liar and content man.

Was another version of this Trump slaying CNN news article previously posted at Democratic Underground?

I'll wallpaper this Opening Post with Trump-troll bait! The Opening Post was all but gone, when I started commenting, more anti-Trump movies and artwork will only make it more attractive. From the movie "Airport;" have you ever seen a grown man (with small hands) naked?"

The OP keeps dropping like a stone to the bottom of the page. Check out some of these insignificant articles at DU, which has thousands of readers and a massive number of votes. You people just wait until all of those Freepers and Trump-trolls get done smashing Clinton or Sanders in General Discussion Primaries and come over to General Discussion in massive numbers.

I don't blame them from hiding from my Trump ops. But you are correct that some are GOP trolls rat****ing the democratic primary, so of course they ignore Trump too.

"He also told CNN Trump University should not be blamed for some enrollees having trouble selling real estate during the 2008 economic crisis." From this quote we realize that he was conning desperate, unemployed people's last savings, with promises of prosperity his expensive study courses had no way to delive.

I know "Teflon Don" was already used to describe a real Mafia Don; but with his Mafia links and LOTS of other crimes committed by Teflon Don that the FBI can't seem to prosecute - or even investigate him on - the name works better than most.
