Trump biographer drops a bombshell on CNN — and exposes his cocaine-dealing crony

Donald Trump biographer David Cay Johnston Saturday on CNN said that the Republican presidential candidate once protected a convicted felon who was charged with cocaine trafficking.

“Donald got his personal helicopter and the one for his casinos from a convicted felon who turned out to be a major drug trafficker, and instead of cutting ties with this guy, he kept him on, he rented him an apartment under very unusual circumstances as I described in the book,” Johnston told CNN host Michael Smerconish. “He wrote a letter pleading for mercy for him, saying he was a standup guy. The guy got 18 months while the people who actually delivered the drugs for him got 20 years. And, by the way, the case came before at one point Judge Maryanne Trump Barry — Donald’s older sister.”

Johnston was referring to Joseph Weichselbaum, who was indicted for drug trafficking in 1985.

Johnston said the media should investigate Hillary Clinton’s private email server, but he complained that virtually no one had called attention to Trump’s “lifelong business dealings with Russian mobsters, con artists, violent felons, swindlers, and this big time cocaine trafficker.”

Why is it the press does not investigate Trump's past questionable illegal activities?

2. I honestly believe that most of the press are just too stupid.

They are fed their talking points for the day or given their assignment to write on at that's the end of it. That is why it's all the same crap all day long.

3. That's right. They ARE doing their jobs;

they have corporate masters - like Time Warner - who determine the agenda and what gets the focus. They are paid to regurgitate talking points and pass this garbage off as "news" and they do this to serve the corporation's agenda.

They are not in a corporate cable infotainment anchor job to serve as the "fourth estate" in a democratic republic.

4. This means he and Narco Rubio did have a lot in common after all.

Ah, the irony.
