Correct The Record is paying for information on Donald Trump

David Brock is on AM Joy this morning talking about this.

The organization is going to pay for information that is relevant for DT's fitness for office. It will be vetted by the staff and lawyers if necessary. They are not the press but feel he uses his money to shutdown critics and creditors so they feel this puts the Hillary campaign on equal ground.

They started this 3 days ago.

One of the most important things for voters to evaluate in any election is the full measure of a candidate’s views, ideas and temperament over time. In making a choice for president, voters must also consider how various candidates present themselves to the public and to the world. There are few things more important in that regard than access to video or audio in the form of prior television or radio interviews or more candid video from events a candidate may have attended.

When it comes to Donald Trump, we already have video of interviews where he discussed his preferred sexual positions, said “I would love to be a well-educated black, because I really believe they do have an actual advantage today” and declared “putting a wife to work is a very dangerous thing.” Given Trump’s long career as a celebrity and provocateur, there’s certainly more where that came from.

TrumpLeaks is an effort to uncover unreported video or audio of Donald Trump so voters can have access to the Donald Trump who existed before running for president and before his recent affinity for teleprompters. TrumpLeaks can provide some compensation to those who have usable, undoctored video or audio that has been legally obtained or is legally accessible.

extent of Trump's clear, obvious insanity. Describe it with whatever terms one cares to use.

Combine that with an attack on his real ''wealth'' and he might blow his psychic cork in public

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/reliable-source/wp/2016/08/03/the-only-joke-donald-trump-didnt-want-told-at-his-2011-comedy-central-roast/



Today, comedy writer and “Family Guy” producer Aaron Lee posted a list of “Jokes that were and were not allowed at the roast of Donald Trump.” On the approved punchline menu, Lee’s personal analysis of all the jokes told at the televised roast, are laughs about Trump’s hair, all of his three wives, his penchant for models, his failed product endorsements, his failed casinos, his status as a business legacy, his weight and his relationship with daughter Ivanka.

According to Lee, who’s written for more than a half-dozen such roasts, the only wisecrack Trump didn’t want told was “any joke that suggests Trump is not actually as wealthy as he claims to be.”

Lee’s list confirms an earlier account by roast comedian Anthony Jeselnik, who told the Hollywood Reporter in June, “Trump’s one rule was ‘don’t say I have less money then I say I do.’ ”

“His kids were fair game. His wife was fair game. And I remember one of my jokes was about his casino business failing, and I could feel that hurt coming off of him,” continued Jeselnik, who said Trump didn’t like that last one.

How Donald Trump Bankrupted His Atlantic City Casinos, but Still Earned Millions

But even as his companies did poorly, Mr. Trump did well. He put up little of his own money, shifted personal debts to the casinos and collected millions of dollars in salary, bonuses and other payments. The burden of his failures fell on investors and others who had bet on his business acumen.

In three interviews with The Times since late April, Mr. Trump acknowledged in general terms that high debt and lagging revenues had plagued his casinos. He did not recall details about some issues, but did not question The Times’s findings. He repeatedly emphasized that what really mattered about his time in Atlantic City was that he had made a lot of money there.

Mr. Trump assembled his casino empire by borrowing money at such high interest rates — after telling regulators he would not — that the businesses had almost no chance to succeed.

I think those are null if they conceal criminal acts.

they are refiling it with an additional witness. I'll see if I can find a link.

FOUND THIS - 16 SEP 2016

Woman suing Trump for rape dropped lawsuit and will refile with ‘new witness’

Katie Johnson” is the pseudonym under which the plaintiff of a lawsuit against Republican presidential candidate has filed her lawsuit alleging Trump raped a 13-year-old girl. That lawsuit has now been dropped and refiled in New York City under “Jane Doe” and indicates there is a new witness.

The suit alleges that Trump and billionaire investor Jeffrey Epstein lured the 13-year-old and several other young women to various parties they hosted during the 1990s. There was allegedly a promise of modeling contracts and money, but neither manifested.

Jezebel, who has led an intense investigated of the accusations, notes that the initial lawsuit was filed in California but was dismissed. The attorney in the case has been identified as Thomas Meagher but another man, identified as “Al Taylor” has also been helping Johnson with the case. He’s a former reality TV producer that The Guardian indicated might actually be former Jerry Springer producer Norm Lubow. Guests often accused Lubow of “staging fights” and “encouraging them to fabricate” their stories

Taylor maintains that he is not Lubow, isn’t involved and allegedly spent the summer harassing a Jezebel reporter speaking in a fake British accent and telling her to “suck my d*ck” at one point. He also accused her of being involved with a Gawker reporter, which she was not.
