Kurt Eichenwald ?@kurteichenwald TWEETS:Folks falling 4 @CLewandowski_ lie that #TrumpInCuba story is all anonymous sources: It's 90% internal Trump company docs, which I quote.
Also in #TrumpInCuba: Trumps strategy plan & bills 4 effort 2 buy off Jeb Bush, which Trump told GOP never happened.
I cant understand how @CNN can think allowing @CLewandowski_ to lie 2 its viewers unchallenged, this time about #TrumpInCuba, is journalism.
If @CNN keeps allowing @CLewandowski_ to lie bout my stories or me w/o having me there 2 challenge him, I wont appear on the network anymore
.@CNN has GOT 2 stop @CLewandowski_ from lying bout me and my Trump stories. Re: #TrumpInCuba, he said no facts. I quote company documents.
Wow, can @RogerJStoneJr spin a story. Ok, guess Illl have to unload info from his emails and other docs to show he's deceiving @Politico.
Why do I bother engaging these crazy Trump supporters with their endless conspiracy theories, deflections and insane rationalizations?
When Trump's lawyer threatened us on #TrumpInCuba, saying docs didnt exist, @Newsweek offered to post em all online.

(8,203 posts)campaign managers..."where will they go after this" and "you do have to consider, it wasn't like they were in great demand to begin with" - great analysis IMHO..
Kellanne has been around forever..in fact, I believe, (correct me if I'm wrong) it was her ex who wrote the brief during the nonsense with bill..she has an inside track on a lot of that..not surprised trump might go there..but then, they didn't quit run out the clock on this Cuban Fiasco they now have on their hands..oops!

(5,231 posts)quite a bit back in the day (late 90s, early 00s). She was annoying but had yet to discover her true talent for pretzel logic. She was but an amateur in those days.
When I first saw her as DTs campaign manager, I knew I had seen her somewhere before. Back then, she was KellyAnne Fitzpatrick, if memory serves.

I still think she and Boris Epshteyn should get together. A match made in hell.

Until it stops working on us.
Once you realize and see clearly something, it loses it's power . Cannot unsee.

(9,148 posts)Documents show that the Trump company spent a minimum of $68,000 for its 1998 foray into Cuba at a time when the corporate expenditure of even a penny in the Caribbean country was prohibited without U.S. government approval.
But the company did not spend the money directly. Instead, with Trumps knowledge, executives funneled the cash for the Cuba trip through an American consulting firm called Seven Arrows Investment and Development Corp.
Once the business consultants traveled to the island and incurred the expenses for the venture, Seven Arrows instructed senior officers with Trumps companythen called Trump Hotels & Casino Resortshow to make it appear legal by linking it after the fact to a charitable effort.
This comes just as the investigation into other ways Trump has misused a charitable foundation is exploding.
Thanks for the confirmation, Kellyanne.
Seven Arrows needs to be investigated here in the US also.
They are a round about way of fooling Casinos on Native Land into thinking they are separate from Trump Casinos, when the 2 are actually the same.

(9,600 posts)Trump caught breaking United State's Laws. A company controlled by Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president, secretly conducted business in Communist Cuba during Fidel Castros presidency despite strict American trade bans that made such undertakings illegal, according to interviews with former Trump executives, internal company records and court filings.

(28,795 posts)is this why trump is tweeting his ass off about the sexy time?
wouldn't be the first time he supposedly stepped on his dick to divert attention to much worse news
press is falling all over themselves avoiding this
Lawrence ODonnell showed it last night, but Eichenwald is being largely (completely?) ignored on TV
Donnie Deutsch says nobody CARES about this cause he's a businessman....they care more about the fat chick stuff
surprised?
