Donald Trump's claim that he dispatched private investigators to Hawaii to look into President Obama's birth has been repeatedly printed as fact in the media despite zero evidence that he has done any such thing.
Here, for example, is how CNN is playing Trump's comments, which he made Thursday on the Today Show:
The CNN lead goes like this:
Self-proclaimed birther Donald Trump is now so doubtful of President Obama's birthplace that he's sent a team of his own investigators to Hawaii in hopes of getting to the bottom of the issue.
That's according to Trump himself, who, in an interview with NBC, warned his investigators just might uncover "one of the greatest cons in the history of politics and beyond."

update todays Trump meeting
its amazing how palm grease can loosen lips too.
Didn't the guy that wrote the swift boat expose on Kerry start digging around in Kenya and get locked up for a month or so?
Trump could expand his investigation to include Washington state and Chicago, and possibly to Indonesia and Kenya and all points in between. He could check out all know Obama associates from across the world. He also could investigate Great Britain’s colony and common wealth archives. The universe is the limit for big wallet Trump.
except Toot died and she had the real skinny ... and the WH WAS afraid she would talk
Yeah but someone with smarts wont announce to Kenya officials what they are doing there..look at Lucas Smith...#5,000 or so supposedly got him Obamas Kenya BC...what would $100,ooo get, birth photos and hospital records down to mama’s complete medical chart, travel records in and out of country, copy of visas?
Huh, no one claims Obama Sr. was an American citizen.
When referred to the source: it was Salon.com
Unbelievable!
I would say Indonesia is a key as both Hillary and Obama work for Riadi who was kicked out this country; but allowed to return secretly by Hillary.
always a good way to get secrets
That's a good one.
You’re on to a sweet ditty there. Lefties in a lather, continue their inane blather, .....
You should finish it.
I’m not so sure he “sent” investigators/researchers/whatever. He already has a mega hotel/resort in Waikiki and would be well-positioned to know the locals who’d be better suited to uncover any information. I believe he said he had people there, on the ground, not so much “sent,” as in from NY or the mainland.
And, I would imagine, most of their work was done before he mentioned them. He’s (hopefully) playing the Breithbard/O’Keefe strategy of making a statement, letting the opposition stake out its position, then slamming them with even more information to show their staked out position is dead wrong (at best) or just outright lies.
....seek advice from Rather....
Don't forget what he was doing in Pakistan and what he did in NYC when he supposedly went to Columbia but nobody remembers him taking any classes.
Reminds me of Dan Rather, when idealogues would gather.
Rim-shot! Ping!
I think so. There was something just like that.....
I would think there has already been offers of big money to get to the truth. I just can’t imagine that someone with deep pockets hasn’t tried this before. It would logically seem that someone has looked previously, something so basic?
