Trump Allegedly Asked O’Keefe To Get Obama’s Sealed Columbia Records
Daily Caller ^ | 1/10/2018 | amber athney

Posted on 01/11/2018 5:32:21 PM PST by bitt

Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe claims in his new book that Donald Trump asked him in 2013 to get his hands on President Obama’s sealed Columbia records.

In the introduction of his book “American Pravda: My Fight for Truth in the Era of Fake News,” O’Keefe recalls meeting Trump back in 2013. O’Keefe said that he didn’t get the idea that Trump was a “birther,” but Trump did seem to believe that Obama might have misled people about being a foreign national.

“He was confident Obama was born in the United States, but he suspected Obama had presented himself as a foreign student on application materials to ease his way into New York’s Columbia University, maybe even Harvard too, and perhaps picked up a few scholarships along the way,” O’Keefe explains. “Trump had reason to believe Obama was capable of this kind of mischief.”

In the hopes of figuring out if Obama was participating in any misconduct, Trump allegedly asked O’Keefe to uncover Obama’s sealed records from Columbia University.

“Nobody else can get this information,” Trump reportedly told O’Keefe. “Do you think you could get inside Columbia?”

“As I explained, that was not exactly our line of work. We were journalists, not private eyes,” O’Keefe writes about the request. “At the end of our discussion, Trump shook my hand, encouraged me to keep up the good work, and half-whispered, ‘Do Columbia.'”

There are no birth records. From US or otherwise.

He has never said he was born in the United States. He said he was American Born.

Long ago Jack Cashill had the right idea about his birth place.

That’s never going to happen because everyone in the District of Corruption is complicit.

Trump is the only one in our government who was not.

“Birtherism” is the greatest Alinsky ever perpetrated.
Those who use the term assist in the denigration of the Constitution.

They have gotten the American people to reject one of the most valuable safeguards bequeathed to us by the founders.
The natural born citizen clause served us well until we ignored it.
Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.

It does not matter if he was born in Hawaii if his father was a foreign national.
Children of foreign nationals inherit the nationality of their foreign national parent(s).
Natural born citizen means born here of citizen parents.
No other possible citizenship(s).
Only when one cannot be anything else can one be a natural born citizen.

No foreign birth.
No foreign parent(s)
No foreign citizenship(s)
No foreign influence on the Presidency is what John Jay stated in a letter to George Washington as the reason for insisting on a natural born citizen.

Obama told us he was born a British subject.

Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?

Who believes they would have thought the recently deceased King of Thailand was eligible to be President?
He was born in Cambridge MA.

Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, happened with the complete cooperation of both parties.
They want the Constitution changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
Confuse people about the clear meaning of a three word phrase and voila, every anchor baby and Winston Churchill is eligible.

The bench was the reason the GOP went along with the fig leaf resolution for McCain that was used by the Democrats as cover for Obama.
Jindal, Rubio, Haley, George P. Bush and Cruz were all up and comers and the future of the party and ineligible.

The truth of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will never see the light of day because both parties cooperated in the violation of the Constitution

Sounds as though Trump was very interested in the real life and background of Zero.

Hope he knows now!

It’ll never see the light of day because people with crazy ideas based on flimsy evidence allowed themselves to become the figurehead of the argument.

It’d be like folks thinking Oswald didn’t act alone insisting that unless we consider the Pope a prime suspect, we’re not ever going to uncover the full conspiracy.

The evidence existed to assert with confidence he was not an American national when he went to college. That’s the argument you run with. The strong argument. The one you can win with a high degree of confidence.

The Birthers hurt the cause.

Any true Constitutional-supporting, freedom & liberty-loving American should have been a birther from the beginning because of this fraud on America.

With freedom comes responsibility and it's up to us to make sure 0bama was who he said he was. Helping the left to label these honest Americans, with nothing but Alinsky tactics, sadly, helped the left's cause in covering this fraud up.

I personally believe that Obama attended Occidental on an Indonesian passport, and traveled to Pakistan on same.

For all we know he is still legally Barry Soetoro Indonesian citizen as no one bothered with any formalities when he returned to the US.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Here’s a rabbit trail to run down.

Does anybody connect dots from barry soetoro’ indonesian roots back to bubba’s benefactor, mochtar & his boy, james riady??

We already know his selective service card is forged and the only thing anyone has seen for a birth certificate is a questionable internet image. He was using 042-68-4425 as a SS# and it was not his. He used others as well.
There’s tons of evidence. There is no one who will look at it.

How does this sealing of records work?? Can anyone request?? Are they sealed forever or only for a specified period of time??

And, are all of Obama’s records sealed - Occidental College, Columbia, Harvard, State dept (passport bureau), Pakistan US Embassy, etc. ????

You realize since President Trump released the JFK files recently, that little tidbit is no longer a conspiracy, don't you? You must still watch the enemedia because they have done very little reporting on the release of the JFK files.

The basic evidence showed Obama had an American birth.

Give us an example or two of conclusive basic evidence showing Obama had an American birth. Evidence like you or I could show at the drop of a hat that we were born on American soil.

I'll await your response.

President Trump -

Doing the tough jobs that congress is supposed to do but are too corrupt, too incompetent and too afraid to do.

Remember all the hell democrats raised about seeing George W. Bush’s college records back in the 2004 Bush/Kerry campaigns?

And it turned out that Dubya had better grades than their aloof and snobby candidate John Kerry!!!

But now it is a dastardly thing to want to see Obama’s college records!

Something republicans should have pushed for back in 2008.

Yeah, and for someone in his business this is as dumb as it gets. Who will want to deal with him in the future?

Buh, bye James O'Keefe. If you hurry, you can catch up with Steve Bannon as he and his career go spiraling down the drain.

Remember how the media always calls every single Republican President a moron yet Obama is supposedly brilliant..well if that is the case how come no one demanded to see those college records so we can all see Obama’s supposed brilliance. I’d love to see that douche bag’s grades

Every single time this topic comes up, I point out that the reason you can't see any of Obama's college records is because they would demonstrate conclusively that the man is a f***ing idiot who got by on affirmative action.

If Obama's grades were any good, he would have been shoving them in our faces years ago. The reason he didn't show them is because they will prove he is stupid, and that he only graduated because of affirmative action policies at these Universities.

To what "basic evidence" are you referring? I've kept up with this subject more than most, and i've seen nothing but stonewalling and dodging any attempt to get real evidence, so I would like to know what it is you are claiming is "evidence."
