Donald Trump’s Transition Team, Or Lack Thereof, Is Causing Real Panic
- Thread starter easy_b
- Start date
Whatever happens in the next 4 years is on cacs. As long as my household is good, I really don't give a shit.
A future Trump tweet.
"I know everything about aliens. We talk all the time. @nytimes are a bunch of fools."
no, not really - every thing in the articles of confederation to the constitution are setup especially to prevent a tyrant... Congress would elect a president before Jan 20th
Ryan is a good bet - but he would need to win over the Senate leader and also fucking Ted Cruz would likely throw a wrench and be a problem vs Ryan
I say let the shit show begin
maan, what didn't he say? he was basically spilling the beans on giuliani's career dating as far back as when he was in the reagan presidency. i mean if you are not a very astute student of history, some of these things you wouldn't even know. supposedly, giuliani at one time was all for sanctuary cities (i think he alluded to the fact that NYC was at some point considered a sanctuary city), then he also said giuliani used to be pro-choice now he's all anti abortion, then he finally talked about how giuliani was a back stabber, basically has been all his life. i mean he went in deep.
deep down though, this is what i think too. i think levin is still butt hurt that his man cruz didn''t win. cos if ted had won, levin would probably be one of his advisors right now. oh well,
hypocrites...CAPTION THIS PHOTO
this will bite them in the ass - at some point we are going to see the photo caption reading at this point xxx knew they fucked up
Well, he was a registered democrat and independent at one point.
Explain?
look at who is in the photo... all conservative republicans,
no Trump, no fringe, no tea party, no neo cons...
these guys are now married to a life time democrat, a child that is spoiled ignorant and undisciplined also appears to be easily manipulated, whose right hand is still a democrat, Kushner, and now that child and Kushner are giving power and access to alt right fringe members - to military and intel agencies.
I'm imaging multiple shadow governments - cause I can't see the Bush Sr, Chaney, et al - not lining it up now.
Gonna be a lot of those mofos going to jail
on the Bush side, no one in that crew goes to jail - pure power, its win or die
well remember, republicans said they liked him because he wasn't a real politician. first time i heard that, i thought to myself, how dumb does that sound? that's like being told you need open heart surgery and you saying,
"okay, but i don't want a real doctor to perform it"
they have made their bed. let them sleep in it. and oh, for those of you with siriusxm, did yall hear how mark levin, the fake one, was dishing out dirt on giuliani last night?
?????
yeah, see i didn't know that. but even at that, i mean, shit, just because you switch party affiliations means you should change your convictions and moral beliefs too?? just goes to show you how two faced these politicians are.
Interesting.
The reason Christie was out was the repayment of a old feud. Khazarians never forget or forgive.
Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner has Trumps ear and is highly respected in that circle. His father is billionaire real estate developer Charles Kushner.
Christie sent Charles Kushner to jail for witness tampering, 18 other felony counts and had him disbarred from practicing law. All because of the aggressive prosecution of Christie.
Now was as good a time as any to serve Christie an his neo-con friends. So, I guess Trump gave Kushner the green light to sweep them bastards out. That's why they spoke so salty about Jared Kushner after the serve.
khazarians don't forget and will look for some get back!

Trump son-in-law Kushner reportedly settling Christie score in transition
Bob Jordan, Asbury Park (N.J.) Press5:41 a.m. EST November 17, 2016
Gov. Chris Christie launched his campaign for president in 2015, a lavish fundraiser took place at a block-long beachfront property on Ocean Avenue in Long Branch — but for the benefit of another candidate.
The invitations read: “Seryl and Charles Kushnerinvite you to their home to meet DONALD TRUMP,” with the candidate’s name in red letters beneath a pair of American flags.
The following day, Christie said he didn’t mind campaign money being taken out of his backyard for Trump, his longtime friend.
USA TODAY
Trump says transition is going well; team is working on appointments
But it’s now clear the New Jersey Republican could have done without the Kushner family coming back into his life.
Seryl and Charles Kushner are the parents of Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, who reportedly blocked Christie from becoming Trump’s vice presidential nominee and now has led the ouster of Christie allies from the president-elect’s transition organization.
The motive: Christie as U.S. attorney was involved in the prosecution of Charles Kushner, who was sentenced to prison in 2005 on 18 counts of tax evasion, witness tampering and making illegal campaign donations.
The latest casualty came Wednesday: Kevin O’Connor, who is close to Christie and has been leading the Justice Department transition team, is out. Christie and O’Connor were both U.S. attorneys at the same time, O’Connor in that role for Connecticut from 2002 until 2008 while Christie was serving in New Jersey.

‘Turn on the hate’? Steve Bannon’s cynicism spreads online
The changes — which started last week and included Christie’s demotion from leader of the transition team to a role as vice chairman — are said to be a purge of Christie loyalists set into motion by the younger Kushner.
When asked to comment on reports of Jared Kushner’s role in the purging, Trump spokesman Jason Miller said that “couldn’t be further from the truth,” but that the younger Kushner is someone whom “obviously the president-elect seeks and respects his counsel very much.’’
But the number of transition team members with Christie connections who are gone or knocked down in rank has reached at least four, leading Rutgers University political scientist Ross Baker to say, “I have to believe it’s a Kushner revenge.’’
“That’s the only way to explain these demotions and departures. I don’t buy the argument that Christie flunked some kind of loyalty test. I think it’s Jared Kushner’s high hand behind this whole thing and it’s a little bit of karma, because Christie is known for getting even with people, too,’’ Baker said.

Christie: No strain in Trump relationship
After the results came in last week, Christie joined Trump on stage at the Hilton in Midtown Manhattan for the victory party. “Gov. Chris Christie, folks, was unbelievable,” Trump told the crowd. “Thank you, Chris.”
And Christie appeared excited about an anticipated job in the new Trump administration in an interview on the Today show last Thursday.
“If there’s some role for me that I want to do and that the president-elect wants me to do — you know, we’ve known each other for 14 years — we’ll talk about it,’’ Christie told co-host Matt Lauer.
Jared Kushner, 35, has been married to Ivanka Trump since October 2009. He is a New York and New Jersey real estate developer, and he also owns the New York Observer newspaper.

When Charles Kushner was sentenced, Christie spiked the football in a press release.
“The court of law was the great equalizer for Mr. Kushner, who had obviously convinced himself that his power, influence and immense wealth put him above the law,’’ Christie said. “We are very pleased that justice was done.’’
When his father had his legal difficulties, Jared Kushhner was interning at then-Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau’s office. In a 2013 interview with The Real Deal, which covers New York real estate news, Jared Kushner said he changed his career choice because of the handling of his father’s case.
“My dad’s arrest made me realize I didn’t want to be a prosecutor anymore,” he said. “The law is so nuanced. If you’re convicting murderers, it’s one thing. It’s often fairly clear. When you get into things like white-collar crime, there are often a lot of nuances. Seeing my father’s situation, I felt what happened was obviously unjust in terms of the way they pursued him. I just never wanted to be on the other side of that and cause pain to the families I was doing that to, whether right or wrong.’’
Jared Kushner hasn’t commented publicly on transition matters, but there were reports he was involved when Trump chose Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate, rather than Christie, who was among Trump’s earliest GOP establishment supporters.
Trump in the summer actually offered the VP slot first to Christie, but Jared Kushner and other family members and close advisers talked him in to giving the nod to Pence instead, according to a press report. Christie denies that sequence took place, but said he was the “runner-up.’’

Christie in a radio interview Tuesday indicated that he’d be content to remain as governor until his term ends in January 2018, as reports swirled that his stock with Trump had fallen.
Not only was Christie demoted to vice chairman of the Trump transition organization, former Congressman Mike Rogers, a close friend of Christie’s and brought aboard during Christie’s six months in charge, left the project Tuesday.
NBC News reported two sources close to Rogers said he had been the victim of what one called a “Stalinesque purge” from the transition of people close to Christie.
Also taking hits have been Bill Palatucci, who had been the transition’s general counsel, and Rich Bagger, the executive director. They lost their titles last Friday. Palatucci and Bagger, both of whom have been longtime Christie associates, are now transition advisers.
Rutgers University’s Baker said the changes are likely causing delays to completing the government handover, which entails filling roughly 4,000 federal jobs and appointments.
“They really have to get the train on track,’’ Baker said. “Plus you’re trying to set up an administration for someone with no governmental experience and who operates a lot on whim and impulse. People who trying to read the crystal ball are going to find it cloudy on how this is going to look by Inauguration Day.’’

NJ Scandal: Sex, Money & Politics
Real estate developer Charles Kushner, who is a top donor to New Jersey Gov. James E. McGreevey, outside the federal courthouse in Newark, N.J., on 7-13-04. Kushner, under criminal investigation for possible tax fraud and illegal campaign contributions, was charged Tuesday with hiring prostitutes as part of a scheme to scuttle a federal prosecution.
AP
New Jersey Democratic Gov. James E. McGreevey's biggest campaign contributor was charged Tuesday with trying to thwart a federal investigation by videotaping a witness in a compromising position with a prostitute.
U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie says real estate developer Charles Kushner hired a call girl to have sex with the witness, had someone videotape them, and then sent the man's wife a copy of the tape and photos.
According to Christie, Kushner was retaliating against the witness, a former employee of Kushner's, for cooperating in a criminal investigation of Kushner for possible tax fraud and illegal campaign contributions, and was trying to discourage him from cooperating further.
Christie said Kushner hired two prostitutes in December for $25,000 and had also targeted a second witness, also a former employee, but that witness declined the prostitute's advances.
"There is nothing, nothing more sacrosanct than the integrity of the grand jury system," said Christie, adding that Tuesday's indictment is not related at all to Gov. McGreevey. "There is absolutely nothing in this criminal complaint which has anything to do with the governor of New Jersey."
Kushner, 50, is charged with conspiracy, obstructing a federal investigation and promoting prostitution. He posted $5 million bail and has been ordered to wear an electronic monitoring bracelet.
Kushner did not speak in court and had no comment outside the courthouse.
Kushner - who has vast real estate holdings in New Jersey, New York and five other states, and financial interests in several other businesses including insurance - is a well-known heavy-hitter in the region and earlier this year failed in a bid to buy the New Jersey Nets.
He also serves on the boards of numerous organizations, including New York University and four other colleges.
"Charles Kushner is one of the most respected business leaders in the community and widely known as a very generous philanthropist," said his lawyer, celebrity defense attorney Benjamin Brafman, whose many high profile acquittals include the 2001 bribery and weapons case against Sean "P. Diddy" Combs.
"The charges," said Brafman, "are entirely baseless. Mr. Kushner is confident that once the facts are fully disclosed in a courtroom he will be completely exonerated."
"We are saddened to hear of the allegations," McGreevey spokeswoman Kathy Ellis said. "It would be inappropriate, however, to comment further on matters unrelated to this office."
Last month, Kushner was fined $508,900 by the Federal Election Commission for improperly contributing money to political candidates in the names of his companies.
Since his first gubernatorial campaign in 1997, McGreevey has received at least $369,050 from Kushner, family members and employees of Kushner's firm. The money accounts for nearly 5 percent of the $7.9 million in donations McGreevey has raised in the last decade. Kushner has also solicited donations from friends and business associates.
In February 2003, Kushner withdrew as McGreevey's nominee to head the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. At the time, Kushner was the target of lawsuits contending he improperly used business funds for personal and political purposes.

Trump son-in-law Kushner reportedly settling Christie score in transition

Already too much drama.. I predict Trump will be backstabbed by someone from his own entourage..not by someone from the outside
That is usually who gets you someone close, you beleive is loyal and can be trusted.
I read he was meeting or met with Kissinger regarding a role in the administration?
A couple of things:
1. involving Kissinger would be the mistake of a life time
2. Kissinger would for sure be a mole for is-it-real and the globalist
3. Betrayal would be a given and possible assination
Or maybe
Kissinger was there to deliver a message from the behind the scene controllers.

IronyYou a member of Christian forum
Yeah you been brainwashed.
Irony of what?
I think it's closer to 90%
And the tax returns finally prove what I’ve been saying all along. this cac trump is just an illusion of wealth and was likely a low-figure multi-millionaire at best.a business man that claimed a loss of over one billion in one year?
trump might be the dumbest "billionaire" in history...and I say might because I'm pretty sure he isn't worth it.
