(15,262 posts)2. So Trump is the Swiftboat Admiral after all.
We've been suspicious of this for a long time, and we should be digging deeper, into the 1990s now.
Trump used his foundation to fund guerrilla filmmaker James OKeefe
He funneled at least $10,000 to OKeefes Project Veritas
In Wednesdays presidential debate, Donald Trump claimed that new videos proved that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama had hired people and paid them $1,500 to be violent, cause fights, [and] do bad things at Trump rallies.
He was referring to videos released this week by conservative activist James OKeefe that purport to show pro-Clinton activists boasting of their efforts to bait Trump supporters into violent acts. The videos offer no evidence that Clinton or Obama were aware of or behind the alleged dirty tricks.
Still, Trump claimed the videos exposed that a violence at a March Chicago rally was a criminal act and that it was now all on tape started by her.
Trump neglected, however, to mention his own connection to the videos, released by James OKeefe and his Project Veritas tax-exempt group. According to a list of charitable donations made by Trumps controversial foundation (provided to the Washington Post in April by Trumps campaign), on May 13, 2015, it gave $10,000 to Project Veritas.
