According to Trump in "The Art of the Comeback", he was $900 million in debt in the early 90's

By 1993 he "only" owed $115 million and had two years to pay it off.
Why did the $900 million loss show up in his 1995 tax return?

Was Trump's $916,000,000 tax write off legal?

The media has been stressing that Trump's tax write off was a perfectly legal exercise of a provision in the tax code. This assumes that there was no concomitant chicanery concerning the loss itself.

The very excellent, left-leaning conspiracy theorist Joe Cannon has a great article on the possible criminal manipulation of the loss by Trump via the IRS.

Joe was insisting to his readers as far back as last winter that Roger Stone was the brains behind the Trump campaign despite the fact that Stone had no open, public role at the time, so Joe's instincts are often on target. He's also a DU reader who links to this site.

He's using words like "cyber" and "nuclear" like they're nouns.

"The cyber is very important."
"The nuclear is the biggest threat."

What's that odd sniffing noise coming from Trump?

Tweet of the week

Joe and Mika are back to fluffing Trump.

"Last week, Scarborough and his "Morning Joe" co-host, Mika Brzezinski, visited the Republican presidential nominee at Trump Tower to rekindle a once-rosy relationship that has turned bitter and adversarial, sources with knowledge of the meeting told CNN Money."

What a pair of useless tools.

FBI Played Trick on Clinton During Email Probe, Newly Released Documents Show

ABC News is reporting this concerning the one email with the (C) portion marking.

"the paragraphs were not properly marked, lacking a header or footer indicating they contained classified information. But before their interview with Clinton, FBI agents placed the appropriate header on one of the emails to see how she would respond.

When confronted with the altered document, Clinton recognized the header and footer as indicating the presence of classified information, but she didn’t connect them to the “(C)” marking and said she didn’t think the email’s content was in fact classified. She questioned why it was marked as such, according to the FBI summary."

Comey tried to set her up.

For anyone who's never seen it, here's what Hillary faced in 2008 from the MSM.

Watch at the end for Maya Angelou referencing "Still I Rise".

Here's a link to the 296 pages dumped by Judicial Watch this week.

Do you see any problems? I don't see any "pay to play" evidence.

This reminds me of the WikiLeaks dump right before the convention. You have to wade through hundreds of pages, and then there's nothing really there. And all the press does is report rumors they heard from other reporters
