Leaked emails reveal Politico ... made 'agreement' to send advanced Clinton story to DNC

Top Donald Trump donors tried to set up a meeting between the GOP presidential nominee and Charles Koch in Colorado Springs on Friday, but Koch aides rejected the entreaties, according to two Republicans with knowledge of the outreach.
Koch and his brother David Koch, who helm an influential network of advocacy groups and major conservative donors, have been sharply critical of Trump’s rhetoric and policy stances and have indicated they do not intend to support his campaign.
Trump in turn has blasted the Kochs and other major conservative donors as puppeteers to whom his GOP primary rivals were beholden, while he touted the independence from Big Money he said he achieved by largely self-financing his campaign.
But the billionaire first-time candidate has dialed back his anti-donor rhetoric since he clinched the GOP nomination and began active fundraising for a general election campaign in which his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, and her allies are expected to spend upward of $1.5 billion.

Trump needs to publically rebuke Koch, Soros, and all of these influence peddlers on the right and left.
If Hellery wins, the Koch Bros. will “contribute” BIG to her and the DNC ….or else.
It will serve them right.
Mike Pence considers bailing on Koch summit

They know each other well. Both are Palm Beach big shots. Different styles and lots of jealousy.
The Koch brothers can go to hell. They’re not supporting Donald J. Trump because they know he can’t be bought.
In the end of the day, Trump doesn’t need these guys. They need him more then he needs them.
Trump should continue on his winning strategy of building his campaign with small donations (under 2700 a quarter)
Let crooked Hillary promise these corrupt bastards the world
Trump is not BOUGHT; Trump doesn’t have SUPER PACS except for the ‘down ticket’ people, like Paul Ryan, and people who are up for re election, this is the money that Trump is raising, none for himself...
He used his own money for his primaries and he is using his own money to support the General Election...to raise money for the RNC for the ‘down ticket’ people, he sets up a money making night, ‘you raise this much money and I will match it’...he has one going on right now...the last one, he raised over 11 million dollars in less than 24 hours, and he matched it with his own 11 million dollars which the news reported that it raised 22 million dollars...it all goes to help the RNC ‘down ticket’ people...
That is where the super pack comes in, after the money is raised, its up to the RNC and super pack to distribute it for the other people being re elected...
The press won’t tell you this, they want to make Trump look like he is lying, they lie, Hillary lies, DNC lies, so they want us to believe that Trump lies...
As Trump Supporters, we know Trump does not lie, he has never lied to us in over a year, he is the real deal...remember that when you read the garbage coming out of the Clinton machine paid media twits...it’s the only way the media can make a living...by lying...
I agree, my only reason for posting about the Kochs is that Mike Pence is VERY good friends with them. And now he may back out of the annual Koch meeting in loyalty to Trump.
Of course. Money is used to buy influence. This is a truism whether it is the local city council or the oval office.
The Cock brothers can shove it!
Be careful what you read from Politico.
They are collaborating with the DNC per WIKILEAKS email.
Exactly.
Yet the liberals are still lying and saying that Trump is bought by wall street and the Koch Brothers, when it is Hillary that is.
Well Trump is Trump and Pence knew this going in, so if this doesn't satisfy the people that support Pence, then THEY have a decision to make, Trump made his on June 15, 2016 and hasn't swayed an inch since then....
If your a Trump Supporter, then that is what you are, if not, get the hell out of the way, your going to get ran over...they have a decision to make...not Trump, and not Pence or Trump wouldn't have picked him...

Yes, grain of salt reading.
Just think, if the Koch Brothers give millions to Hillary, Senator Reed is gonna have to kiss their buttocks! After all his former complaining about them!
Good the Koch brothers are despicable traitors
