Bombshell Expose' Reveals Roger Ailes May Have Fed Trump Questions Ahead of Fox News GOP Debate

[DonViejo]

Candidate Donald Trump may have been given questions ahead of a Fox News GOP presidential debate by none other than the conservative news network's founder and CEO, the late Roger Ailes, according to a bombshell exposé by The New Yorker's Jane Mayer.

Many remember the huge splash that opened the Fox News GOP debate, with then-anchor Megyn Kelly telling Trump: “You’ve called women you don’t like ‘fat pigs,’ ‘dogs,’ ‘slobs,’ and ‘disgusting animals,’ ” to which Trump replied, “Only Rosie O’Donnell!”

Was that staged?

"Fox, however, may have given Trump a little help," Mayer, an award-winning investigative journalist, reports. "A pair of Fox insiders and a source close to Trump believe that Ailes informed the Trump campaign about Kelly’s question. Two of those sources say that they know of the tipoff from a purported eyewitness."

"In addition," Mayer continues, "a former Trump campaign aide says that a Fox contact gave him advance notice of a different debate question, which asked the candidates whether they would support the Republican nominee, regardless of who won. The former aide says that the heads-up was passed on to Trump, who was the only candidate who said that he wouldn’t automatically support the Party’s nominee—a position that burnished his image as an outsider."

1. How Brazillean of him

[marylandblue]

2. It's bigly okay if you are Trump.

[Ponietz]

25. Pigly Bigly

Yet another perfect nickname for the degenerate.

[empedocles]

3. Everything trump touches, everything around trump - so corrupt

If we can't convict traitortrump . . . ?

[unblock]

4. This was obvious when Donnie kept attacking Donna Brazille for leaking questions to hillary

Projection.

He looooves attacking other people for the things he's guilty of.

[NewJeffCT]

6. yes

everything he criticizes in others is a fault of his own.

Lying Ted Cruz - but, Donny is shattering records for dishonesty
Crooked Hillary - but, Donny is the most corrupt president ever, maybe the most corrupt person
Crazy Bernie Sanders - but, Donny is an unhinged lunatic

and, of course, his favorite nickname is Little - Little Marco Rubio, Little Adam Schiff, Little Bob Corker - I wonder what he's projecting with that?

[thegoose]

27. You know...

Shroom.

[dalton99a]

31. +1

[gratuitous]

16. Yup

Trump's campaign and administration have all the staging expertise of a pro wrestling event. Trump got bent out of shape because the rumor was that Brazile tipped off Clinton that there was going to be a question about the Flint water crisis (which is still going on, by the way) at the Flint, Michigan debate. Like such a question would have caught the Clinton campaign completely off guard.

[okaawhatever]

20. Brazile didn't even give Hillary questions for debate w/Trump. She did it for primaries. Another

WikiLeaks disclosure. So surprised WikiLeaks didn't release the info about Ailes giving Trump questions. /s

[unblock]

21. right, saw an analysis about this once, showing how effective some of donnie's lies are.

while making a big stink about something that says vastly more about brazile than anything about hillary, he consistently and deliberately confused the democratic primary debates (regarding which the incident took place) and the general election debates, making it appear as if hillary cheated in the general election.

he also kept referring to brazile as the dnc chair, which she wasn't at the time, again making it seem like the entire democratic party was corrupt or something.

[okaawhatever]

22. The GOP is so much better at message discipline than we are, and Trump has always been

good at it. We desperately need to get better at this.

[unblock]

23. not really fair, "message discipline" is so much easier when you control the microphone.

imagine if a democrat had said something comparable, with a couple of clear and obvious distortions.

the media would have called them out on it quickly and turned it into a story about the democrat's honestly and trustworthiness.

they certainly never would have run with it in the uncritical way they ran with the brazile story and so many of donnie's fabrications, exaggerations, distortions, and outright lies.


how hard is it to be "disciplined" about repeatedly claiming obama wasn't a natural-born citizen when the media gives you the incredible spotlight they gave donnie to repeat that plainly false and racist lie?

could any democrat have done anything remotely comparable?

[Mickju]

5. So many ways to cheat

[barbtries]

7. that fucker got into the ground

in the nick of time.

[PatSeg]

10. What a pathetic legacy though

A man who was truly worse than worthless.

[barbtries]

11. i agree.

bastard sure left his mark.

[PatSeg]

12. I can't help but wonder

what it must be like to reach the end and look back on a life like that. We all make mistakes ("Regrets I've had a few....), but for people like Roger Ailes or Rupert Murdoch, it would seem that their entire lives were mistakes. No apologies, no regrets. Real life Ebeneezer Scrooges without the Christmas ghosts to redeem them.

[Volaris]

14. I was just going to say that I'm really glad he's finally dead.

[PatSeg]

8. What difference does it make

Even if he cheats, he still sounds stupid and ridiculous.

Oh well, it is always satisfying to see him be a huge hypocrite though!

[Achilleaze]

9. republican "values" suck cesspool scum

cheater, liars, traitors

[Botany]

13. "they" did this for w bush in 2004

or something like that.

[cstanleytech]

15. Didn't Ailes die after "accidentally" falling and hitting his head soon after being forced out?

Imagine what he might have revealed if he had been questioned by Mueller.

[Botany]

26. lots of seniors die after falls .... it is one of the leading causes of death

n/t

[cstanleytech]

28. True but how many of them just lost their job where they might know where

a number of bodies might be buried?

[Botany]

29. Ailes left Fox with 4 million and a 1/2 per year...

... payment for consulting work too. He was not
hurting @ all. Besides Roger was overweight and not in the best of shape.

[cstanleytech]

32. I was not referring to his financial situation rather the potential criminal one for anyone he might

have the dirt on that they feared he might spill either for revenge or because they feared he might use it to get his own ass out of trouble.

[TryLogic]

17. No surprise

[malaise]

18. But but but

Hillary and Donna Brazile - it's always projection with these MoFos.

[VOX]

19. This was reported in 2016, but was squelched by RWers screaming thst Hillary got debate questions...

in advance from Donna Brazile. It’s all b.s., as this kind of “gamesmanship” no doubt occurs often.

Megyn Kelly: Donald Trump knew her debate question on women was coming
Nov 11, 2016
By Tamar Hallerman
<snip>
“...[Megyn Kelly] recounts her clashes with Trump. And lets it be known that, just like Donna Brazile passed on questions to Democrat Hillary Clinton, the Republican presidential candidate was spoon-fed pre-debate information...”
<snip>

[duforsure]

24. Remember while he was doing this

He was repeatedly calling Hillary corrupt , and dishonest, or accusing her of what he was involved in doing. He's still doing that with his accusations towards others, telling everyone what he's done or is doing. Its one of is many tells.

[spanone]

30. How many ways did they cheat?
