Did Trump really send investigators to Hawaii?
Salon ^ | 04/08/2011 | By Justin Elliott

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.

SNIP

I asked Trump aide and spokesman Michael Cohen for more details on the investigators who have supposedly been dispatched to Hawaii. Said Cohen: "You have got to put yourself in someone else's shoes. If you were running an investigation, would you provide that type of information?"

"The amount of questions in regard to who they are, how much he's paying them, and what have they found so far -- this isn't something he's going to hand out willy nilly," Cohen said. "When he's ready, he'll let you know." He then added: "I don't that he's going to be commenting."

The author won't investigate Obama but he will investigate if Donald is investigating.

Because the media is not investigating Trump's investigation he calls it:

"stenographic journalism at its worst."

Seriously, you just can't make this stuff up.

The question must be, “Does Hussein Obama have a long form B.C.?

Trump does not have to fess up to anybody — conversely Hussein Obama needs to man up to the entire American public.

Trump said he did. I heard him say it on Hannity, and that they were finding out all kinds of things, which he was not yet prepared to divulge.

What do you expect from a left wing rag like Salon.com?

Number of AP fact checkers for Sarah's book "Going Rough"?...11. Number of AP investigators dispatched to Wasilla, AK to look through Sarah's garbage?...4. Number of AP investigators assigned to look into the totally blank Obama history? ZERO.

The first thing for a guilty party to do ins investigate the investigators. Then try to kill the messenger.

Trump’s investigators man hours far exceed the combined three years investigation effort of EVERY OTHER MEDIA SOURCE COMBINED.

Which is easy, since the total investigative reporting HAS BEEN ZERO.

The Donald has pretty much laid his pecker on the chopping block with this one, especially if he is serious about throwing his hat in the ring. If he has publicly said he has sent investigators to HI, then it would be beyond foolish, even for him, to have not done so. And with all his posturing about what has been found, I tend to believe he really has unearthed some serious dirt on the Kenyan Con Man.

I mean, for crying out loud, has not Obama-lama-ding-dong's own GRANDMOTHER come out and said he was born in Kenya? Honestly, why would she lie about something like that? I would be far more suspicious of her telling a lie if she came out and said he WAS born in HI.

Did anyone else hear Rush Limbaugh today say that the Hawaii Health Dept. FINALLY ADMITTED that Obama's CERTIFICATION of Live Birth IS NOT a Birth Certificate?

We already knew that but maybe others will now realize it.

Here is a link to Trumps interview with Meredith Viera (Todays Show)—watch the whole thing and be sure to watch her expressions. She could not spin him or any issue.
He answers the question about investigators.

Does this mean that people in Talk Radio can now begin asking BC questions? Because it seems as if no one wanted to touch it for the last 2 years (especially Hannity, Boortz and Beck)

I hope they touched base with Jerome Corsi before leaving.

This is too funny! The libs argue that they want PROOF that Trump is investigating Obama’s background, but haven’t bothered to ask Obama for PROOF that he has a background!!!

Mean while, back at the ranch, they sent 100 of reporters to dig through Palin’s garbage and then denied that they sent a single person to Alaska (even though there was enough proof to choke a shark to death)!!!

H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-S-Y thy name is D-E-M-O-C-R-A-T!!!

Bill O’Reilly believes because of a news paper clipping, probably one of the easiest things to fake.

The media knew Sarah's basketball point average per game when she was in seventh grade.
But 'Obama' the anointed one, the chosen one, the messiah? He gets a pass ... no curiosity whatsoever.

You gotta hand it to Trump, the feminized liberal press is totally unprepared to play his brand of hardball (too many years of suck-up smarm and parroting each other’s catchy phrases gleaned over white wine in the Hamptons and Berkshires)
