The lies are coming fast and furious....
A former strategist for a pro-Donald Trump Super PAC claimed in a shocking column that even the GOP front-runner himself was surprised at his electoral success and never had any real intention of being President.
BY LAW a SuperPac cannot have any contact or coordination with a candidate. To do so is a violation of Federal Law by the SuperPac, so if Stephanie Cegielski is alleging this she is admitting to the commission of a federal offense.
Second, this SuperPac was shut down last year. Why? Because Trump insisted that it shut down as it was both using his slogan and appeared to be violating the law:
Trump's campaign finance lawyer, former Federal Election Commission chairman Donald McGahn, wrote to MAGA and eight other pro-Trump superPACs on Wednesday, telling them to stop using Trump's name and image. McGahn said Trump appreciates small, unsolicited contributions, but didn't want donors misled into "supporting an unauthorized effort, one which is subject to no oversight."
NPR tried to put a spin on this, of course, but the fact of the matter is that they (accurately) reported that Trump's campaign finance lawyer told them to cut it out.
And as part of that support, in October, I supported the internal decision to close the Super PAC in order to position him as the quintessential non-politician. I still supported him with great passion after that. The decision to close the Super PAC was part of that devotion to his message of outsider change.
An "internal decision" eh? You mean the cease and desist demand from Trump's campaign finance attorney aimed at your PAC and eight others didn't have anything to do with it?
Baloney. You're caught, chick-a-dee, as a result of your own bull****.
And when did this happen?
In October of 2015.
So how can you have any sort of clue as to Trump's evolution as a candidate when your position was terminated months before the first vote was cast? In short for your fanciful line of crap to be true one must first ask: "Where did you get the Tardis?"
Want my best guess as to the reason for this "crack-up" nonsense?
Stephanie, who has a nice profile on LinkedIn, may be getting a bit hungry. You see, she claims her gig started in July, it was terminated with extreme prejudice by Trump's lawyer in October and now it is April of the next year and gee, there's nothing else on her resume. Anything for 15 minutes of fame? Is it just a simple matter of "a woman scorned" or is there more to the story?
Nice try, no donut.
He has said he was surprised by his electoral success early on. But he always wanted the job.
Good for him.
I’ve sent resumes to job positions I though I had NO chance at getting. Didn’t mean I didn’t want them.
Ping.
Barry’s “media” toads are confusing Trump with McCain and Romney.
Denninger is simply the best.
bkmk
I assume someone is paying her to do this. Sockmonkey, maybe your links would be good on this thread. I don’t have them handy right now.
FWIW Bill Clinton thought the same thing in 1992.
He figured he would just make a trial run to test the waters and get his name out there.
Then people dropped out and he was the last one standing.
Lucky us.
However, it does bode well for Trump.
Has Cruz's campaign finance lawyer sent a similar letter to Mair ?
