Trump sends investigators to Hawaii to look into Obama
CNN ^

Posted on 04/07/2011 7:20:45 AM PDT by quesney

Washington (CNN) – 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."

"I have people that have been studying it and they cannot believe what they're finding," Trump said an interview that aired Thursday Morning.

Asked if he has assigned people specifically to search in Hawaii, Trump said, "Absolutely."

The business mogul, who in a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll is tied for second place among potential presidential candidates, also suggested the president is involved in an ongoing cover-up over the matter.

"He spent $2 million in legal fees trying on to get away from this issue, and if it weren't an issue, why wouldn't he just solve it?" he said. "I wish he would because if he doesn't, it's one of the greatest scams in the history of politics and in the history, period. You are not allowed to be a president if you're not born in this country. Right now, I have real doubts."

“I don’t think the risk is worth the reward.”

In all due respect, I don't think you realize the potential ramifications of obamas presidency to be deemed invalid.

Look, the riots and social upheaval are inevitable since either deep economic depression and/or hyperinflation are right around the corner (barring some miracle).

In my view, the risks are small and the rewards can be phenomenal.

Very well may be Trump is playing us, and healthy skepticism is warranted here. But thinking it through I don't see why Trump would fall on his sword for Obama and wind up looking like a total fool re the BC issue. He doesn't need Obama to set him up politically, financially, or otherwise.

For now I don't see how we need to either dismiss him or embrace him as our political savior. Let it play out for a while, at the very least we have someone with the necessary press access and invulnerability who is hammering Obama on his presidency as a whole, not just the birth issue.

If he finds something that Slick Willie and the Hildebeast missed, they’re gonna have coronaries.

If the Clinton's had anything it wouldn't matter ... they wouldn't go there ... they have way too much baggage of their own. This seems endemic in the ranks of 'rat presidential candidates.

Trump will simply ask him, right out. Obama will not be able to duck a direct a question. If Obama still refuses to address the question, he will still look like a fool for having allowed the question to fester in the minds of voters, undermining confidence in both the government and Obama’s leadership.

Grab the popcorn ladies and gentlemen, this could get good.

This is already good and it may be our only shot at salvation; it just isn't clear that our country could survive even two more years of the present government.

“If NoBama does produce a LFBC at the last minute he will have to explain why he spent all the money he did, and used the resources of the Justice Dept., to fight all of the law suits about this. I’m sure he would throw some BS against the wall to try to explain it away, but at this point I doubt much of it would stick!”

He’d also have alot of explaining to do about why he’d let Lakin go to JAIL for his little “game” of hide and seek with the BC.

I would have thought the same thing. It depends on the nature of the evidence. I’m predisposed to believe the Donald already has a roadmap to rally people to demand the Congress take action. He’s a motivator.

If that means state governments refusing to acknowledge Obama’s legitimacy as POTUS until a hearing is held; then that’s probably what it means. There are a lot of Republican state houses now.

On the other hand, the far left CANNOT afford such a proposition to come into the light. So who knows what ends they would employ?

As for the Clintoons, it’s hard for me to see a way where the Democratic brand doesn’t come out gravely tarnished. I don’t see them involved because it is to their benefit to let Obama be a 1-term POTUS.

I hope "the Donald" has used his billions to surround himself with body guards at every step.

That was one of my first thoughts, too. If Trump gets too close to the truth, his life my be in danger.

Now that Trump has national attention of Believers and Non-Believers, he will establish himself as the "decider". Whatever research or investigation is done on his behalf, he will hold the results close to his vest. Then as the "decider", will proclaim at a time for maximum impact that he is satisfied that Obama has met the constitutional qualifications for presidency. His 'authoritative' pronouncement will eliminate Obama's birth place as any issue of consequence for 2012 election.
Perhaps, but honestly pre-Trump it was a fringe issue that didn't hurt Obama politically, in fact may have been helping him as it looked like some isolated conspiracy nuts were after him. No one who supported Obama was wavering because of the BC issue. Trump is using the BC issue to get the most attention, but he is also hammering Obama on his actual governance as well. If it's all a shell game it doesn't increase Obama's support much as he is already considered by most a legit president even if he isn't

This thing is Pure Pelosi.

“We have to elect Obama before we can find out who and what
he is”.

There is a “there” there.

I don't think Trump is bluffing here. Not his style.

He doesn't put himself out there unless he is very confident he can win. On this issue, he must already have some damning information to keep pursuing it in such a public way.

I believe you’re 100% right.

And I’ll bet a whole lot of other people think that too.

Trump lets everyone know that he’s a smart guy so I think he would love to uncover Obama’s grades and take him down.

I think the thing that keeps the Clintons from being as damaging as Alinsky/Soros/Obama is tha they are more greedy than ideological.

Can anybody help me find the picture of a Chicago news article bio of state senator barack obama that states he was Kenyan-born. It seems to have been scrubbed from the internet.

Thanks!

Sad to say, but I think the corruptocrats in Congress and in the media would simply move to ditch that pesky little “natural born citizen” clause from the Constitution.

And of course the cries of “racism” may drown out any logical argument.

“Everything hints that there was wide scale fraud in this guy’s background.”

That is most likely the case. So, more heads than “O’s” will be on the block.

LOTS of people have culpability.
