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.'”

Anybody would think, with all the threads that can be accessed about Obama’s records, that someone would release them.

And there is Trump in the White House, and he can’t even arrange his tie that someone doesn’t leak it that he did it.

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.

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

True. Hussein or soeretoro or barry has used numerous names over the years. He is as fake as they come.

If someone had the balls and savvy to file a real lawsuit against oblammy, then the discovery process could legally get these documents.

If he was a “fake” President, then this is a major breech of security for the USA. Needs to be investigated...fully.

A band of very loyal SS in academia at Occidental, Columbia and Harvard have already gotten to the records and destroyed them.

What? Not his line of work? The undercover journalist okeefe and Project Veritas, with the stated mission to “investigate and expose corruption, dishonesty, self-dealing, waste, fraud and other misconduct”?

I hope someone at Columbia does America a favor and faxes the Oboma records to O’Keefe or even Julian Assange. That would be a bombshell.

I agree about Occidental Not only did he gain admission as an “international” student but I believe he also worked it to get a scholarship there as an “international” student.

If I remember correctly, some people have tried but it has been blocked time and again, by our corrupt judicial system saying American citizens have no standing. (It's like WTH?)

Agreed, so much of his fake life narrative needs to be investigated. Don't listen to those that say it's in the past or not worth it because it is very well worth investigating. It very could be the biggest fraud ever done to this nation.

This is why the Birthed were their own worst enemy.

The basic evidence showed Obama had an American birth. Drop that às an issue unless you got a smoking gun to refute it. By focusing on a flimsy claim they allowed a more possible flaw to get shirked off as conspiracy fodder.

The Birthers hurt the cause.

Obama would just claim they were fake.

The Harvard records would be more interesting.

That's my theory, too. And more skirting the law. You can tell he had contempt for the law with all that illegal parking at Harvard or Columbia.

I think Trump would move on if Obama and Hillary hadn't spied on and done such other utterly dirty tricks on him. And still trying to make his presidency fail and personal life miserable.
