Romney Scandal-- Bribed Olympic Bid Officials, With Fed Land In Utah

http://conservativecorporatism.blogspot.com/2012/10/romney-scandal-bribed-olympic-bid.html#!/2012/10/romney-scandal-bribed-olympic-bid.html

What the Main Stream Media won't speak of is the Bain Scandal under Mitt Romney Mismanagement of the handling of the Olympic Bidding of Utah State, was the Fact Mitt Romney, had Bribed Olympic Officials that oversee who wins the Olympic Bid , as to where the Winter Olympics was to take place.

Olympic Panel Bid Officials Were given Federal Land, that was off limits , named Trappers Loop between both ski canyons in Northern Utah. Pristene land which was later sold/Traded to be developed for housing in the Mountains, and has effected the wildlife severely in Utah.

Later, Mitt Romney had to register as a Lobbyist , which was a conflict of interest, and the State of Utah and the Mormon Church helped Romney cover up the bribes , circumvent the law to allow the scandal appear as if almost legal to wash their hands in the fraudulent Bid of the Winter Olympics going to Utah.

Romney's records from Salt Lake City are SEALED or DESTROYED!

The financial records, the minutes of the meetings etc. are mainly either destroyed by his staff, or still under seal.

WHY?

Because they probably reveal the truth about the way the Olympics were really managed!

They've spent more time speculating on other stupid things then the many shady deal of Mitt Romney. If these things had been properly covered, Mitt would really be in the witness protection program because the Republicans would want to kill him. At least at this point they are waiting until after the election.

2. The media should be asked if they have seen this.

While asking that, we should ask them if they have seen his TAXES.

If these stories were on the other side, it is all they would be talking about.

the Olympics after a major scandal involving the original people in charge.

I just don't want to see something go viral which isn't true and allow Romney to regain strength through the media, in the final days out of sympathy. I just assume we wait until next week and kick him when he's down.

Sealy (mattress) company was one; I also believe Domino's and Marriott were others.

What more is it going to take to prove Mitt Romney's character?

Romney's actual dealings has been kept from the public eye and the MSM doesn't seem to think that's relevant.

And even when there is VIDEO of Romney contradicting his own lies (like the one about only taking Fed $$ for security and transportation for the Olympics), it STILL doesn't get traction b/c the corporate media needs a horse race and maybe even wants a Romney win.

Disgusting and vile. How do they face themselves in the mirror every day?
