I’ve been criticizing the media quite a bit lately for failing the American people, but Vanity Fair/Newsweek journalist Kurt Eichenwald is not one of those people on the scathole list. Eichenwald himself has been one of the few journalists to deep dive into Trump’s financials and discovered his incredibly shady ties to foreign governments, criminals and banks, including owing over $650,000,000 to the Bank of China and Goldman Sachs, but the true depth of his decades long sleazy history of corruption, crime, and just plain fractitude can only be fully appreciated when laid out stem to stern, end to end, as Eichenwald did in a massive tweet storm yesterday.
Here’s Kurt on Democracy Now discussing Trump’s businesses conflict with U.S. Interests.
More on Trump’s violation of the Cuban Embargo.
Amazingly, this is only about half of his tweets from yesterday which include his tendency to delete emails & documents that are under court order and repeatedly lie under oath, here’s a storyfied version of them all.
Including a long selection on Trump repeatedly deleting emails and destroying documents that he was under order to provide in courts and physically blocking prosecutors for seaching for the documents when after a judge ordered they had the right to do so.
Over the course of decades, Donald Trump’s companies have systematically destroyed or hidden thousands of emails, digital records and paper documents demanded in official proceedings, often in defiance of court orders. These tactics—exposed by a Newsweekreview of thousands of pages of court filings, judicial orders and affidavits from an array of court cases—have enraged judges, prosecutors, opposing lawyers and the many ordinary citizens entangled in litigation with Trump. In each instance, Trump and entities he controlled also erected numerous hurdles that made lawsuits drag on for years, forcing courtroom opponents to spend huge sums of money in legal fees as they struggled—sometimes in vain—to obtain records.
