"This confirms that Vander Plaats was being 100% truthful – that he set up the meeting as a way for Trump to introduce himself to Iowa voters, and got paid absolutely nothing. His thanks for having done this favor (and earned Trump a hefty speaking fee) is for Trump to lie about him on Twitter."

Doesn’t smell right.
Trump never said Vander Plaats was paid $100,000 only that he asked for $100,000.

Your non stop dedicated anti Trump posts makes me think you’re getting a 100K fee.

Red State lies its head off about Trump at least five times a day. You’d think they’d be getting a bit tired of it. But I guess that’s their main purpose in life.

Hillary gets $250k & Trump took a measly $100k?

He should be ashamed...if it were true

Give Trump a break. Vander Platts is an obstacle to The Donald’s nomination, and he must be destroyed. Surely you can understand this. If you can’t, we have ways to MAKE you understand!

Right, because I always trust Erick Erickson's operation to be objective and honest.

So did anybody lie about anything? Maybe not until accusations of lies started to go around.

Vander Plaats was foolish, perhaps, if he thought he had to raise those funds for a Trump who would have spoken for nothing. But that doesn’t mean Trump was bound to refuse it either. Trump could stand to be more gracious about it, granted. Biting hands that feed him treats is not a good way to win friends and influence people.

that he, generously, was willing to do

Looking at the tweets, it nowhere says Trump paid him a dime, only that Plaats was begging for free services at Trump hotels (which apparently he got, but he claims Trump "refused payment), and that he was asking for 100,000 for himself for a particular event. Doesn't say he got it, how he got it, or that Trump "generously, was willing to do it."

This is the same Vanderplaats who barely escaped from the FEC for getting one million from the Rick Santorum campaign in exchange for his endorsement. The Mitt Romney campaign accused him of the same thing.

Nailing someone for dishonesty can be devastating in these presidential election cycles. It prevented Gore from winning imho and probably Clinton in 2008. But if you want it to be successful at making it stick you need a charge that really resonates. This doesn’t, sorry. He said she said.

Regarding your reference to “peoples.co”
What is that?
https://www.peoples.com - People’s United Bank?
or
http://peoplescompany.com/ - People’s Company Real Estate?
or what?

I would say show me the money deposit, cancelled check, etc. Statements by news organizations are NOT very reliable.
