This could be very bad for Trump and Steve Bannon...I had heard the Left had targeted his business.

How do you “target” a hedge fund?

[crz]

Selling Breitbart stake? Where the hell do I purchase some?

[be-baw]

“This could be very bad for Trump and Steve Bannon...

I don’t see how. Mercer obviously if feeling heat from someone, but how could that hurt Trump or Bannon?

[Paladin2]

" He is also selling his personal stake in the right-wing news outlet Breitbart News to his daughters."

Not time to clutch your pearls yet...

Mysterious Trump backer

Sounds pretty scary!

[dpetty121263]

Go after Business that use this Hedge fund that invests in them.

[Alberta's Child]

The guy is 71 years old. Has it occurred to anyone that he's probably just retiring? LOL.

[Lisbon1940]

Rebecca is still in place and further empowered.

[dpetty121263]

Well there are Leftist groups like the ones who went after Rush,Hanity, others who shame these corporations into dropping any affiliation to them...

I’m not sure how easy it would be to get that information. These hedge funds aren’t like publicly traded securities with SEC reporting requirements that disclose all of the funds activities.

Next headline...

Sun to set in the west.

Could be very bad news for Bannon and Trump...

[Fantasywriter]

I don’t blame Mercer at all. Breitbart has gone downhill since Bannon left the WH. Any nasty piece of anti-Kushner gossip Bannon can find, he gives prominent coverage to. As if constantly smearing Trump’s SIL is somehow helpful to Trump (it isn’t).

They should change the name to Gossipbart. Or maybe Anti-Kushnerbart. Truth in advertising.

Or estate planning?

“Obama: Bannon, Breitbart shifted media narrative in ‘powerful direction’”

http://thehill.com/homenews/media/358405-obama-bannon-breitbart-shifted-media-narrative-in-powerful-direction

Obama said, “The question is: Are you able to do that in reverse but to things that are true and are not designed simply to churn anger and resentment and frustration?” he said. “So solve that, will you?””

[HLPhat]

But in my opinion, actions of and statements by Mr. Yiannopoulos have caused pain and divisiveness undermining the open and productive discourse that I had hoped to facilitate. 

What exactly do the Rainbow Milotards at Breithfart they think they have a "stake" in?

Be nice if somebody would have a "stake" in defending the Godly and Moral fundamental American principles lived by folks who had the notion of declaring their "LIVES FORTUNES AND SACRED HONOR".

Wouldn't it?  Maybe Mr. Mercer does.

Pretty sure these folks thought they had a "stake", in something too:

EF the Log Cabin Milotards and the Pink Shirt-wearing mules they rode in on.

[dpetty121263]

Well Obama’s IRS is after him for 6 billion...But I would have thought Trump would have ordered that stopped.

[Fido969]

I don’t blame Mercer at all. Breitbart has gone downhill since Bannon left the WH

So he's selling the stock to his daughters?

You think he doesn't like them or something?

lol.

The left and the IRS have been targeting him for years.
