Re: 2016 Election
I'm surprised this is not getting more coverage - Chertoff to vote for Clinton over 'hysterical' Trump - POLITICO - this guy investigated the Clintons and is an unlikely endorser.
Former Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, once the lead Republican lawyer on the Senate committee investigating Bill and Hillary Clinton’s Whitewater scandal, will vote for the former secretary of state for president this fall.
Chertoff told Bloomberg that his decision to support Clinton over Donald Trump came down to the former’s stronger stance on national security issues and the latter’s inability to control his impulses. That he and the Democratic nominee have a history of conflict dating back to the 1990s pales in comparison to the threat Chertoff said Trump poses to American security.

Re: 2016 Election
and speaking of speaking of, don't know how much may or may not have been illegal but...
... in light of the revelation about Trump's 916 million dollar loss in 1995 - it's startling to now learn 1995 was the same year he raised $140 million, in order to go public for the 1st (and only) time ever.
Doing so required he reveal filings for "Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts", his newly formed company,
The company lasted 10 years.
It bled money in every one of them.
In 2004 his public baby went bankrupt - having lost $600 million!
What did this mean pragmatically?
Well, an investor who purchased stock in '95 would have seen a 90% loss on their investment in '04.
Trump, on the other hand, thru his savvy, self-dealing waltzed away with 39 million dollars in salary, bonuses, options and other compensation.
Guess his loud-mouthpieces, Giuliani and Christie, would tout that as further evidence of his 'genius'
ps: This just in re: "Illegal activity" : https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...76e_story.html

Re: 2016 Election
By early afternoon:
Trump says vets with PTSD are weak
Trump foundation given cease and desist letter by NY Attorney
Newsweek story that he uses Chinese steel for his buildings
Lewandowski says Trump should sue the NY Times out of business
and Clinton baits the trap with "What kind of genius loses $1 billion in a single year?"

Lewandowski is an idiot with no inderstanding of the law. They could only be sued for posting his taxes if they had acquired them through their own efforts rather than anonymously. It was also reported that the info was mailed to them from NY with Trump Tower as a return address. Someone there had it out for him and many think it is his most recent ex wife.

Re: 2016 Election
There have been several times when the Trump campaign has released a statement about a story and said it was full of inaccuracies. The journalists have said, ok tell us what's factually incorrect and we'll fix it. Silence.
They have not indicated any factual inaccuracies in relation to this one.
