Remember this from last fall?
Anti-Trump Consultant Liz Mair Paid 15K A Month By Dictator(an islamic one at that)
Not buying it that real Trump supporters are making the phone calls.
I bet they’re being done by leftist agitators.
I wonder if she is one of the women Ted has had an affair with. Ted owned the ad and is responsible for it by not condemning the ad and those who put it out on his behalf. I think Cruz is the more vile individual I have ever seen run for any political office in my 61 years. Thank God the bastard has zero chance of winning...
She screwed up bad.
That’s no reason for some people to give out her home address and threaten to behead her.
Yet another confirmation that every time Trump calls this a Ted Cruz ad, he is lying, another dirty trick to make people believe there is an orcanizational connection between Cruz and this PAC.
Where are the Trump supporters who claimed they left Cruz’s camp because of his “lying” and “dirty tricks” now? Readjusting their situational ethics once again to conform to supporting today’s Trump?
This half-limey broad has no authority to file criminal charges against anyone for anything.
Maybe somehow President Trump can revoke her citizenship and send here back to Piersmorganville! She and Katy Packer need to be prosecuted!
I wonder if she’s lying, like that reporterette who claimed that Lewandowski assaulted her and threw her to the ground?
Some of these people are insane.
It used to be that family members were left out of political attack ads and the only known violators of that doctrine were the Democraps during Bush's two campaigns. (Remember the blow back that Rush suffered when he called Chelsea Clinton a dog?)
I've done my best in trying to defend both candidates against unwarranted attacks by their detractors since we are all on the same side with only one objective, and that's to insure that Hillary Clinton is not elected.
With that being said, since it was Cruz that started this battle by not denouncing the PAC Ad regarding Trump's wife, I have lost all respect for his campaign.
I have no problem with Trump's actions in denouncing Cruz's campaign for what it is and I will no longer attempt to defend Cruz.........
It's unfortunate because Cruz could have been a contender............
Liz Mair has got to be stark raving crazy.
Oh my. I don’t think this is going to go over well.
“Mair also had some things to say the day of Trump’s speech to AIPAC:
How pissed are Trumpkins right now that their hero is talking to the Jooooooos? — Liz Mair (@LizMair) March 21, 2016”
Isn’t she a sweetheart.
I’ve seen some rather interesting pics of Stanley Ann Dunham, allegedly taken by Frank Marshall Davis. That never seemed to bother anybody.

From New York to Baku! Ivanka Trump unveils plans for luxury 33-floor, sail-shaped hotel to open in AZERBAIJAN

Trump Tarnishes Image for a Fistful of Dollars in Azerbaijan

Harut Sassounian 12 August 2015 excerpt:
A few years ago when Trump agreed to lend his name to a hotel in Azerbaijan, he could not have predicted that associating with a notorious Baku oligarch would not only reflect negatively on his political ambitions, but also create a serious conflict of interest should he become President.
Even though the hotel would carry his name, Trump is neither the builder nor owner of “Trump International Hotel & Tower Baku.” Nevertheless, he earns “lucrative management fees for lending his name and expertise to the project,” according to Russ Choma author of a critical article in Mother Jones magazine, titled: “Donald Trump is Doing Business with a Controversial Azerbaijani Oligarch.”
Trump’s recently filed financial disclosures, a requirement for presidential candidates, revealed that his company received $2.5 million from Baku in 2014, even though the hotel is slated to open its doors later this year.

Donald Trump Is Doing Business With a Controversial Azerbaijani Oligarch
Russ Choma Wed Jul. 29, 2015 excerpt:
http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/07/donald-trump-azerbaijan-anar-mammadov
Good government and humanitarian groups consider Azerbaijan one of the world’s most repressive and corrupt countries due to the regime’s intolerance for dissent and the high degree of concentration of wealth among the politically powerful and their families. Human Rights Watch had the following grim assessment of the country:
Azerbaijan’s government has escalated repression against its critics, marking a dramatic deterioration in an already poor rights record. In recent years, dozens of human rights defenders, political and civil activists, journalists, and bloggers have been arrested or imprisoned on politically motivated charges, prompting others to flee the country or go into hiding. Bank accounts of independent civic groups and their leaders have been frozen, impeding their work, or in some cases forcing them to shut down entirely. New legal regulations make it almost impossible for independent groups to get foreign funding. While criticizing the increasing crackdown, Azerbaijan’s international partners have failed to secure rights improvements.
Mammadov has demonstrated a keen interest in American politics. He heads the Azerbaijan American Alliance, a group that at one point was registered with the US Department of Justice as a foreign lobbyist.
Last year, the alliance spent more than $2.8 million lobbying Congress and State Department to improve US-Azerbaijan relations. So far this year, the group has spent at least $500,000 trying to influence US lawmakers and officials.
Like Trump, Mammadov is a colorful figure. Educated in London, he serves as the head of his country’s golf federation and claims on his website to have a wide range of experience in “leadership, decision-making, strategy, international affairs, politics, communication, human rights, environmental protection, fundraising, public relations, sponsor relations and public speaking.” Mammadov’s personal life has been a heavily covered topic in Azerbaijani opposition newspapers, which in 2010 published reports that Mammadov had been expelled from Dubai following a raucous dinner party with friends. Azeri media outlets also reported that Mammadov had paid a local restaurant more than $1 million to slaughter a bear kept there and serve kebabs from the meat. Mammadov has denied these stories repeatedly.
In recent years, he successfully sued Azerbaijan’s two major opposition papers for libel over stories about his personal life. International press monitoring organization Reporters Without Borders condemned the suits, which financially crippled the papers, and described the legal action as part of a campaign to harass and suppress the free press.

Azerbaijan: Staying Mum on Trump’s Call for a Muslim Travel Ban
December 17, 2015 - 5:38pm, by Durna Safarova excerpt:
http://www.eurasianet.org/node/76606
The vocal response in the Gulf, as well as in Turkey, to Trump’s call for a Muslim travel ban contrasts sharply with the muted reaction in Azerbaijan. State-controlled mass media has largely avoided the topic, and representatives of the Azerbaijani government have not commented publically on Trump’s inflammatory statements.
“Our government will not respond to this issue,” said Natig Jafarli, the executive secretary of the opposition movement REAL. “Generally, the Azerbaijani government always prefers to remain silent in these kinds of situations.”
Azerbaijani leaders have demonstrated increasingly authoritarian tendencies in recent years, carrying out a far-reaching crackdown on basic rights while taking steps to muzzle independent media outlets. On December 17, a US legislator, Christopher Smith, a New Jersey Republican, introduced a bill that would impose sanctions against members of Azerbaijan’s elites. Specifically, the legislation would deny visas to those “who derive significant financial benefit from business dealings with senior leadership, and members of the security or judicial branches in Azerbaijan.”

Hotel Project in Muslim Country Mysteriously Vanishes From Donald Trump’s Website
Russ Choma Thu Dec. 10, 2015 excerpt:
http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/12/azerbaijan-hotel-vanishes-from-donald-trumps-website
In July, a representative for Trump Hotel and Tower in Baku told Mother Jones that the hotel would open by the end of the year. The building appeared to be complete, and job postings suggested that staff were being hired for the property. But sometime this fall the Baku hotel disappeared from the Trump Hotel Collection.
According to Trump’s personal financial disclosure form, his company last year received at least $2.5 million to manage the property and lend his name to the project. The hotel itself is owned by Anar Mammadov, a billionaire whose father is the transportation minister in the authoritarian Azerbaijani government.
Mammadov is also the founder of the Azerbaijan American Alliance, an advocacy group that this year has spent more than $1.3 million lobbying Washington. Mammadov’s interest in US politics is seen as part of a larger effort by the country’s leadership to soften the regime’s kleptocratic image. The regime has been harshly criticized by human rights groups for its crackdown on civil society, including its near eradication of a free press.
James Fabiani, the lobbyist who represents Mammadov’s group in Washington, did not respond to a request for comment.
So has Baku gone bye-bye for the Muslim-bashing mogul? Whatever the fate of the hotel project, the GOP candidate’s Azeri business associate can’t be pleased with Trump’s anti-Muslim rhetoric. It’s not clear if Mammadov is Muslim, but more than 96 percent of Azerbaijan’s population is. A hotel with the bombastic billionaire’s name on it may no longer be a good sell in the region.
