EXCLUSIVE: Boeing Executives Plotted to Stop Employee Bonuses to Keep Trump from Getting the Credit

It has. I have heard of one major insurance company that gave the $1,000 bonus to everyone, but said nothing about taxes or the president.

[Red Steel]

What is wrong with these people?

Oh here it is.

Before Musser worked as a high level Boeing’s communications staffer in Washington, his employment history included public and media relations work for Mitt Romney’s 2012 Presidential Campaign and The Freedom First PAC

Certainly Musser sounded enthusiastic for the tax cut bill then. He may have been saying what the company CEO dictated he say. It doesn’t mean he did not work behind the scenes to avoid giving Trump credit on the bonuses.

But I agree with others who point out that The Washington Reporter article is sourced only with anonymous (claimed) insiders at Boeing, so we have no way yet of knowing if it is reliable. We will have to wait to see if Boeing reacts and what other info may emerge.

Boeing is a seriously liberal organization.

They flew all executives in from around the world at great cost to listen to a black women go on about how every team must hire a black person and that corporate ethics means ensuring a black person was on every team. They then played this for the annual ethics training.

It is also quite possible that Musser got some serious push-back from his never-Trump pals after his FoxNews appearance in December. It would have riled up all the Romney never-Trump types who learned of Musser’s words, and it could be that he learned that he needed to work to please Romney and allies in the never-Trump camp.

looks like SLC link is possible

Who is Jacob Wohl and what isd the Washington Reporter?

[Retvet]

Stop all government contracts with Boeing!

[ConservativeMind]

This does not appear to be a legitimate news source.

[Flaming Conservative]

They don’t need our contracts anyway. Aren’t they the ones who are supplying Iran with planes?

In late January, Musser submitted a last-ditch proposal to his superiors at the company to draft documents retroactively that would give the appearance that Boeing had the bonus package planned well-before the passage of Trump’s signature tax-cut legislation, according to several employees familiar with the document.

If true, I wonder why this guy wasn't fired?

[lepton]

As I noted earlier, liberals at companies some of my friends work at just completely lost their minds over getting the bonuses. Flame wars. Yelling and screaming.

[Enchante]

It may be more reliable than most of the MSM.

[SuperLuminal]

This guy is definitely a candidate for Fort Marcy Park...

[Windflier]

The Boeing execs who oversaw the development and production of the beloved B-17 must be rolling in their graves.

[adorno]

Musser and Romney remind me of another “hate-Trump-with-all-my-heart-no-matter-what” RINO, by the name of McCain. McCain was not going to allow Trump a major victory with the repeal of Obamacare, even with all the faults and issues inherent in Obamacare.
