Trump: Corruption to its core; Will anyone investigate?




Trump..... He Lies, He Lies, He Lies


Kurt Eichenwald article in Newsweek that will examine Donald Trump's business ties to Cuba when the U.S. embargo was still in place.

Why is Russian intelligence blocking the distribution of this story?

There is more here than meets the eye. Where are Trump's income Tax reports. Trump planning to launder information & money in Cuba?

Jail is for poor people, and black people.

Not banksters, and scammers.

Grab hold of the government to squelch investigations

It's better than a pardon, you don't have to wait

proving that he was actually under audit. You could tell she didn't see that one coming and basically refused to answer and kept trying desperately to deflect, eventually falling back on the old 'Why are you badgering me' and 'Are you calling Mr. Trump a liar'. But she never answered the question.

So, is Trump even actually being audited?

If there was he would release it.

And its meaningless anyway as he could release tax returns whilst being audited.

How long will they keep this bluff up?

Rachael has had a bit the last two shows about this Marine who started a crowdsource page. You pledge to it and as soon as Trump releases his taxes the money will go to veteran orgs. He started with a goal of $100K. But then some Silicon Valley billionaire pledged a 5X match. For every $1 pledged, he would pledge $5, up to $1 mil in pledges. So the goal was raised to
$1 mil. By last night they were over $800,000 in pledges.

The neat thing is that it puts tremendous pressure on Trump, without him getting any benefit personally.
