https://twitter.com/kurteichenwald/status/808474863820296192

Trump team knows @Newsweek story coming 2morrow about his business. They know what it says. They postpone announcing plans 4 business 2day.



Eichenwald had tweeted earlier about the investigative cover story he has coming out tomorrow morning at 7 ET. but this is the first tweet saying it has to do with Trump's business.

Trump hasn't had a press conference since July. Any "outrage" from the popular media? No. Any "outrage" from the talking chuckleheads who accused Clinton of dodging the press? No. Endless speculation on a certain media outlet about the state of Trump's health? No.

There appear to be two separate standards.

...ignored.

Keep plowing though, and the truth will become undeniable. It's only a matter of when, not if.
