Schakowsky's Husband 'Stepping Back' From Clinton Campaign
Roll Call ^ | Oct 20, 2016 | Christina Flom

Schakowsky's Husband 'Stepping Back' From Clinton Campaign Bob Creamer is shown on video allegedly discussing inciting violence at Trump rallies

Robert Creamer, husband of Illinois Rep. Jan Schakowsky, is "stepping back" from the Hillary Clinton campaign after a video suggested his organization tried to instigate violence at Donald Trump rallies.

Creamer was aiding the Democratic National Convention for Clinton's presidential bid. He works for a progressive consulting firm, Democracy Partners, and is head of the group Mobilize, which contracted with the DNC.

"I am unwilling to become a distraction to the important task of electing Hilary Clinton, and defeating Donald Trump in the upcoming election," Creamer said in a statement announcing his resignation.

The edited video suggests Creamer and some of his staff hired people to incite violence at Donald Trump rallies, CNN reported.

Operative Scott Foval is shown in the video talking about inciting violence at the GOP nominee's rallies, allegedly saying, “I mean, honestly, it’s not hard to get some of these a--holes to pop off,” Foval allegedly says in the video. “It’s a matter of showing up, to want to get into their rally, in a Planned Parenthood T-shirt. Or ‘Trump is a Nazi,’ you know. You can message to draw them out, and draw them out to punch you.”

Foval, the national field director of Americans United for Change, has been fired by that organization, which contracted with Democracy Partners.

Creamer described the video as "hypothetical conversations" and none of the things discussed ever took place, and called Foval's comments "flat-out wrong."

"We have gone to extreme measures to ensure no violence took place at any of our (counter protest) rallies," Creamer told CNN.

Conservative activist James O'Keefe released the video through his organization Project Veritas Action. O'Keefe has been criticized before for editing footage to create false accusations about people and groups.

A bloody unnamed police officer was filmed by a Chicago resident named Jeff Orr.

The officer should sue Creamer.

“Editing Footage”

In other words, don’t believe your lying eyes.

Same meme was used for the PP videos.

Creamer should “step down” - through a trapdoor with a noose around his neck.

Creamer wrote a book in prison that was part and parcel of 0bama.

Sure, hypothetically you have been doing this for 50 years. If we needed to bus people to vote in Iowa we did.

Pray America wakes

Two lies for the price of one!

The edited video...>/I> implies that the video was edited deceptively - edited in a way that changes the plain meaning of the words volunteered by the subject. While it may be true that the video was edited for presentation to the public, the inference of deception is dishonest in the extreme - and is (unfortunately) the province of the so-called "main stream media".

...suggests... is more blatant, and more egregious, IMO. The video does not "suggest" anything. The subject - Creamer - plainly states the fact of their violent approach. There is no "suggestion" about it.

So tell me, how does one “step back” from a non-existent relationship? Hmmm...

Seems they’re chasing one lie with another, but isn’t that what crooks and liars do?

Joan Lasonde Demands Schakowsky Resign over James O’Keefe Videos

by Adelle Nazarian

21 Oct 2016

Republican Congressional candidate Joan McCarthy Lasonde, 50, is demanding that nine-term incumbent Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), 72, resign over videos released by James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas revealing that her husband, Robert Creamer, was at the center of a plot to incite violence at Donald Trump rallies, in a tactic known as “bird-dogging.”

“We called for her to step down yesterday in front of her office,” Lasonde told Breitbart News on Thursday. “Willful ignorance is no excuse. The people in our district are upset. The people are horrified. Our phones are ringing off the hook,”

Lasonde claims that the stunning revelations in the video — which has forced Creamer to resign from his work with the Hillary Clinton campaign — has resulted in constituents to switch their support to her instead of Schakowsky.

THERE’S WAY MORE TO Story Of Democrat Felon Caught On Undercover Video Admitting To Massive Vote Fraud [VIDEO]

October 20, 2016

Earlier this week, James O’Keefe exposed many of the Democratic operatives working in the underbelly of their party to coordinate and commit violent and illegal activities in order to defeat Trump and put Hillary, by any means necessary in our White House. Click HERE to see the undercover video.

One of the key figures in O’Keefe’s report was convicted felon and husband of Rep. Jan Schakowsky ( D-IL), Robert Creamer who oversaw a check-kiting scheme so elaborate that his employees followed a written manual — complete with detailed instructions on when and where to float checks totaling millions of dollars.

As it turns out, convicted felon Robert Creamer was a frequent visitor of the White House. Between 11/21/2009 and 6/24/2016, Robert Creamer appears to have visited the White House 342 times, 340 times as ‘Robert Creamer’ and twice as ‘Bob Creamer’. He logged in times and was either a guest of Barack Obama or his lovely wife Michelle. One can only wonder what business Michelle had with this criminal. Hmmm…

Like so many other Democrats whose spouses have been convicted of felonies and sent off to prison, the radical anti-gun activist and congresswoman, Jan Schakowsky was not found to have any part in her husband’s crimes (even though she signed the false W-2 forms he used to deceive the IRS).

As executive director of the Illinois Public Action Fund, Robert Creamer’s actions led several banks to experience shortfalls of at least $2.3 million, authorities alleged.

In all, the 56-year-old Evanston resident was charged with 16 counts of bank fraud involving three alleged check-kiting schemes in the mid-1990s.

“Editing footage”

There is a frame counter running in the top left corner of the image. They did not twist these people’s words.

Robert Creamer is the husband of Illinois Rep. Jan Schakowsky and is largely connected with the Democratic National Committee.

He was busted in the video bragging about his alleged unethical methods to “rig the election” – something that the Democrats and the Clinton campaign seem to be all too aware of.

The illegal activities included paying mentally ill people to instigate fights at Trump campaign rallies, an issue that Mr. Trump pointed out during the third presidential debate last night.

Creamer seemed to be a central figure in how the campaign was handled and worked closely with the Super PACs. Perhaps the worse allegations are the reports of sabotaging Trump press events.

Maybe it's just a coincidence that the road repair tar truck parked outside on the street at the same time as a feather delivery van with a rail tied on top.

But I'm stepping back from politics for a while.

Convicted Felon Leads Obama-Backed Effort to Lobby for Iran Deal

by Joel B. Pollak8 Jul 2015

A convicted felon who went to federal prison in 2006-7 is leading a White-House backed effort to lobby Congress to pass whatever nuclear deal emerges from ongoing talks with Iran in Vienna. Robert Creamer, who served time for fraud and tax charges, and who is married to Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), is coordinating pro-Iran efforts through the liberal Ploughshares group, which held a conference call with President Barack Obama’s aides earlier this week, as reported by Adam Kredo of the Washington Free Beacon.
