‘Phony numbers and front groups’: Trump’s inaugural donor list contains massive evidence of fraud http://www.rawstory.com/2017/04/pho...onor-list-contains-massive-evidence-of-fraud/ Trump smashed records this month with a reported $107 million dollar worth of donations to the “58th Presidential Inaugural Committee”—doubling the amount received in 2009 by former President Barack Obama. But a deep dive into Trump’s Federal Election Committee filing, spearheaded by the Huffington Post’s Christina Wilkie, presents evidence that a large number of donors used “phony records” or are “front groups.” In one case, Marion Forcht of Corbin, KY donated $50,000 to the president’s inaugural committee. His wife Terry also donated $50,000. Forcht owns Forcht Insurance Agency, with an estimated annual revenue of $134,500. In another, “GLM Development” donated $100,000 to the president—with an estimated revenue of $146,000. In yet another, Isabel T. John of Englewood, NJ donated $400,000. The problem? There’s no record she exists. I have heard from news reports that the Trump Administration is refusing to account for the unused portions of the funds raised for the inaugural.
TRUMP INAUGURAL COMMITTEE FALSELY LISTS BIG DONATION FROM “HIDDEN FIGURES” HERO https://theintercept.com/2017/04/20/donald-trumps-inauguration/ THE 58TH PRESIDENTIAL Inaugural Committee, the campaign entity used to fund Donald Trump’s inauguration and related festivities, claimed in its official filing with the Federal Election Commission that it received a $25,000 donation from Katherine Johnson, the distinguished NASA mathematician and physicist. The filing listed her address at 1 NASA Drive in Hampton, Va., the location of NASA’s Langley Research Center. Johnson, who is retired at age 98, does not live at the research center. Eugene Johnson, who described himself as a friend and power of attorney for Katherine Johnson, told The Intercept that the “donation is fake, she did not make that donation.”
How to spot if a Trump story may be true, or is obviously false: 1. Does it make Trump look bad? 2. Is there more than one media outlet saying it? 3. Have you ever heard of the media outlet that IS saying it? Unless you can say yes to 2 and 3, it's probably not true, unless it's breaking news. CNN is NOT going to pass up a Trump bash, if the story is legit.
