Tim O’Brien Promises ‘Scorched Earth’ Attacks On Trump Family Corruption
Bloomberg campaign adviser Tim O’Brien hinted the former candidate will put big money toward hammering the Trump family corruption “unlike anything they’ve experienced thus far in the media.”

In an AM Joy discussion this morning, Reid pointed out that Republicans are throwing stones from glass houses if they use Hunter Biden to go after Joe Biden in the presidential campaign.

She ran down a very lengthy list of Trump family corruption. It's not as though this has not previously been reported. We saw a graphic of an LA Times headline, “Trump’s children take in millions overseas as president slams Biden’s son,” e.g.

But O’Brien promised the scrutiny will be dialed up to new levels:

O’BRIEN: If the Republicans really want to make an issue out of Hunter Biden, which is very low-hanging fruit that I don’t think most Democratic voters care about anyway, there is going to be a scorched earth response aimed at all of the Trump children that is unlike anything they’ve experienced thus far in the media.

“There’s a lot of ads you could make on something like that,” Reid said, pointedly. And it just so happens that Bloomberg is putting his fortune to work with a new organization dedicated to attacking Trump and supporting the Democratic nominee. That organization will include hundreds of Bloomberg’s former campaign staffers.

O’Brien laughed without confirming or denying whether Bloomberg might be planning any such ads. But you don’t have to strain to read the tea leaves here.

O’BRIEN: I think it’s an important moment for the American people to be woke about how rampant the financial conflicts of interest are among Trump’s children and the president himself. They’re an absolute failure to distance themselves from the Trump organization and all the deals they’ve continued to pursue while in the White House, whether it’s the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.; 666 Fifth Avenue, which has a long and ugly history with Jared and the Chinese government; and Jared and the Russian government; and Jared and his family’s struggling finances at the time – all of this stuff will become, I think, food for thought for everyone.

But wait, there’s more!

Reid noted that Trump's corrupt ties go well beyond his own family. She cited the family of Trump cabinet member Elaine Chao (aka Mrs. Mitch McConnell), Rudy Giuliani’s family, Newt Gingrich’s wife, Wilbur Ross, Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, Attorney General William Barr’s son-in-law, Eric Trump’s brother-in-law - all of whom have profited from having Trump in the White House.

This looks very promising, indeed.

1. Thank you Mike Bloomberg. I may not have supported you, but damn am I glad you are committed

to helping.

[mgardener]

18. I bet Mike knows lots about Trump

Lots.
He is smarter then, a better business man and was Mayor.
He knows Trump.

[Mr.Bill]

23. The question is

when he was mayor, why didn't he do anything about it?

[stopbush]

32. What - exactly - was within Mayor Bloomberg's powers to do about tRump?

[MFGsunny]

33. + 1000 n/t

[Mr.Bill]

34. Maybe asking the DA to ivesigate any laws being broken by Trump?

[stopbush]

40. Er, isn't that the bailiwick of the DA in the first place?

Perhaps a NYC meter reader could also ask the DA to investigate tRump. A mayor has no more say in such things than any other citizen.

[Mr.Bill]

41. It's called leadership.

[stopbush]

48. In this case, it's called kvetching about shit that isn't real.

[Butterflylady]

28. And he doesn't mind fighting dirty.

[CatMor]

2. Yes, yes, yes .. let it be.

It's about time.

[dalton99a]

3. Kick

[Leghorn21]

4. Get to it, Tim!!!

NO MERCY

[Ferryboat]

5. Game on!

[superpatriotman]

6. And why the f*ck not?

I'm tired of taking hugs to a gunfight

[lastlib]

59. It was already ugly--now...

...it's just going to see the disinfecting light of day. If the majority of the voters see the mass of corruption around this crime ring of an administration, I think guillotines will be sharpened and oiled.....

Granted, a third of the population will be saying the mean ol' evil Dems are just makin' stuff up to smear our president, an' besides, her emails to Benghazi, but some will understand the scope of the corruption. And a few will care.

[Midnight Writer]

8. What the Democrats sorely need. A well financed media operation that reaches average folk.

The Republicans have Fox News, talk radio, and dozens of well financed think tanks, along with professionals that are available to mainstream media 24/7 to push the Party line and spew hateful lies.

We have what?

[greymattermom]

64. I think Bloomberg

has plans to put the ads on all of these media, including Fox News and AONN.

[DBoon]

76. He should buy the media

I'm sure he could afford a clear channel 50,000 watt AM station, to break the stranglehold the right wing has over AM talk radio.

[IcyPeas]

9. and the idiots are going after Hillary again

hope she tells them to shove it!

[Brainfodder]

10. Just offer 10M bounty on his verifiable tax returns and/or un-redacted whatever?

How quick would that stuff just magically appear?

Wouldn't put it past him to claim it himself?

[NewJeffCT]

20. and, some of those Behind the Scenes apprentice tapes

that are being hidden

[babylonsister]

55. Oh yea. I'd like to hear more about iq45's drug

addiction. I'm sure everyone would love to know.

[wnylib]

11. Looking forward to seeing those ads.

[cp]

12. Bloomberg is doing a magnificent job softening up Dump

and weakening him. Ha! And thank you!

[sprinkleeninow]

13. "...the likes of which have never been seen before..."

using dumpty's own annoying phrase against his sorry self...

HA!

[Capperdan]

61. Annoying and overused

Can't stand to see him say anything anymore

[not fooled]

14. Good

and, please: stop (not referring to O'Brien, who did not say it) referring to these adults as "Trump kids", which implies that their criminality is merely juvenile hijinks.

[sprinkleeninow]

15. I like it...

Watch "Cardi B, Bad Bunny & J Balvin - I Like It [Official Music Video]" on YouTube

[Grasswire2]

16. Act, don't react this time

Take it straight to the Trump family NOW.

Crimes have been committed. Corruption is oozing out of them every day.

Let bloomberg put some $$$ into investigating and exposing.

Don't wait for subpoenas from Congress.

Do it. Pay off some leakers or something.

Take down this trans-national crime syndicate now.

Turn up the HEAT.

[Captain Zero]

56. Good idea. Make him take it around his neck to the

Republican Convention !! Maybe they will have to consider dumping him from the ticket...

[cstanleytech]

17. There needs to be a scorched earth attack on all the Republicans in office for what they have done

and are doing.
It is time to take the gloves off and do what needs to be done with these pieces of shit which is to flush them down the toilet into the sewer in which they belong.

[not_the_one]

57. Exactly

They are all complicit in turning this country over to Putin, and need to pay.

There MUST be accountability. NOT holding them accountable is WHY we are now in the middle of this shit show.

Americans are strong. We can take the truth. (Most of us already know it...)

[ProudMNDemocrat]

19. Like the Trumps have an extra $56 BILLION lying around....

To even think about suing Mike Bloomberg for libel if he is using Trump's words against him. His kids are not that rich either.

Gotta love the onslaught of ads that will be coming.

Nor do I think the Billionaires Trump thinks he has in his corner will come to his aid even what Bloomberg comes out with is true.

[safeinOhio]

21. Money equals speech.

Yeah SC.

[hangaleft]

49. Forgive my crassness

But I just gotta say it.

Right on, motherfucker!

I hope Citizens United bites them in the ass. Hard.

And I hope Bloomberg goes after targets like Moscow Mitch, Pearl Clutching Lindsey Graham and Concerned Susan Collins, among others.

[safeinOhio]

53. Be nice to see what all of those

new right wing judges do about it now. Whoops, we was wrong. 🤣

[Bernardo de La Paz]

22. Media soft-pedal tRump mental deficits, corruption, incompetence. If it takes Bloomberg, so be it.nt

[sprinkleeninow]

77. That's my sentiment also.

Let Mikey do it. He got the wherewithal. $$$

Money fighting money.

C'mon dumpy's Democratic replacement!

💙🇺🇸💪🗽

[bluedye33139]

24. I used to think it was important to be the adults in the room, but 2016

changed my mind about that.

I absolutely support all Democrats in attacking the Trump administration. And I do not believe that we should hold back.

[orleans]

25. great. never too soon to start kicking trump's ass

start today!

hope they saturate the red states with tv & radio spots -- until everyone feels the blue rain.

[OverBurn]

26. I hope I live long enough to see the orange asshole in a orange jumpsuit.

[Mr.Bill]

27. With the kind of money he has

Bloomberg should just buy a cable channel and do it 24/7. Hell, he could probably sell legit ads in between the Trump stuff and make money at it.

[drray23]

29. he has one already. thats part of why he is rich

bloomberg TV which mainly focusses on business and stock market news

[videohead5]

30. Trump will lose it

He does not like to be challenged. His attacks will be answered this time.

[DanieRains]

31. Lock Them Up

No, really.

Lock them up.

They are actually crooks.

[Totally Tunsie]

35. The one hope I had for Bloomberg's candidacy was the anticipation

of the little bulldog tearing Chump to shreds in the campaign. If there's anyone who knows where Chump's sins are hidden, it's Bloomberg. We'd be bringing in the popcorn by the train car!

Looks like Mike has found his chance, and he's not going to let go of it even though no longer in the race himself. He'll be looking at the next Time "Man of the Year" Award, to piss Chump off even more, if his ads (and his $$$) bring the criminal to his knees.

You go, Mikey!

[Chainfire]

36. It is only fair and sporting

That Trump gets a dose of his own medicine. Hopefully Bloomberg will be able to base his attacks on indisputable facts rather than Trump's method of unmitigated lies.

[johnthewoodworker]

37. I look forward to his campaign. It won't affect his base.

[misanthrope]

60. Correct, the Trump loyalists will dig in

but that's not really who the ads are aimed at. They are for everyone else, to motivate higher voter turnout among them.

[ananda]

38. Good!

..

[left-of-center2012]

39. A lot of people attacked Bloomberg's money in this election

I'm happy he's on our side,
and spending like a billionaire.

[wiley]

42. The vaults of the National Enquirer would be great, no?

Yes, indeed! Anything is for sale.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

43. Thank you Mike Bloomberg. You understand something very important:

[BigmanPigman]

44. Bill Maher was elated that Bloomberg is offering

so much $$$ and was pissed off that Bernie said he wouldn't accept it.

[calimary]

45. Hey, all's fair!

If donald is going to kick Hunter Biden around (gee, BIG “MAN”, you picking on a guy’s kid? And he’s a non-combatant!

But since you chose the game, then we’ll play! Let’s look at Donnie junior. And Eric. And that daughter-wife you enjoy being seen with. And they already have legitimate things to criticize.

[FakeNoose]

68. Bloomberg should be doing this anyway, even if they don't attack Hunter Biden

Seriously, I don't want fake news or lies about Chump's children proliferating, and I certainly don't want the leaders of the Democratic Party to be behind it. But if Bloomberg ALREADY HAS PROOF of Chump's children and their evil deeds in the name of "privilege" then by all means let's hear it.

I don't believe he should be making threats right now, he should be releasing the information and let the feces fly. We know that the Republicans would be doing exactly that, except they can't find any actual evidence of wrongdoing.

[wiley]

46. And he has seen Trump's taxes.

[brewens]

47. Be a shame if he were to buy someone on the inside. I'd feel kind of sleazy enjoying that,

but I'd get over it.

[hangaleft]

52. Hey, they go low, we go lower

Unfortunately, that’s the only way to beat these bastards.

[SayItLoud]

50. The devil building 666 Park Av and MBS, the Saudis & US intel leaks is ripe for investigating

in addition to the Chinese connection er corruption.

Then there's a Supreme Court Justice, who suddenly retires...and his son, a Deutsche Bank loan executive in charge of tRUMP loans. That one will be a dandy to learn more about.

[spanone]

51. ⭐️⭐️K&R⭐️⭐️

[dawg day]

54. I can't wait to learn more about Ivanky's "friendship" with Christopher Steele....

As long as we are going to hear dirt...

[Grasswire2]

58. And Trump reportedly has financial interest in the co. making coronavirus test kits??!!

Here's the article. There is no proof that Donald has divested his ownership of stock in that company.

[Fritz Walter]

62. Add to shopping list: POPCORN

I like mine with a sprinkle of Tabasco sauce, just to give it a nice bit of heat. And things are definitely heating up!

[Danascot]

66. Try it with ground chipotle powder

Yum! Or if you're super hot try Carolina Reaper powder!

[Fritz Walter]

71. Greetings, fellow Pepper Head!

I’ll try the chipotle powder, but the Reaper is beyond my range of tolerance.

Meanwhile, I’m working on a way to get the popped kernels coated evenly. It requires manually popping corn on the stovetop. No microwave. No JiffyPop. 🌶 🔥 😋

[NCjack]

63. Perhaps Sen. Ron Johnson could be put on notice that he is on the list for 2022.

[kacekwl]

65. It's about time these scumbags pay the

piper. Thank you Mike Bloomberg for using your money to rid the world of the EVIL that is trump and the Republican party.

[Baltimike]

67. knr

[duforsure]

69. Where will Biden be on trump and his family accountability?

I don't trust he'll do anything to any of them trying to claim for the good of the country BS excuse we've heard used letting others escape justice with before, and that's unacceptable,period. Bloomberg should offer money for anything against trump and his family to use to expose them with, and so should both Biden and sanders, get the dirt on them , the truth is their worst enemy.

[Mr. Ected]

70. Maybe this is why Democrats haven't come after Trump at full force yet

Keeping the powder dry for his next run at the office.

Mike Bloomberg's money only sweetened the pot....an unexpected windfall, to be sure.

[BKDem]

72. Reading this post is deeply satisfying.

We have to fight for out our country with everything we've got, and thank god Bloomberg is one of the things we've got.

Trump and his enablers must not just be stopped, they must be destroyed. In this election cycle. They must be crushed so completely, their earth must be scorched so thoroughly that their kind can't reappear here again for at least a generation--and we have to do everything we can to make it happen.

[colsohlibgal]

73. Love It

Bloomberg has the cash, and with his data analysis ability.....he is going to go after Orange Dumb Mussolini wannabe savagely......And Drumpf seems intimidated by him.....Bloomberg being an actual Billionaire who didn’t get spotted 55 million from Daddy.

This is going to be awesome, so fun to observe, and should peeve our Adult Baby Prez no end.

We not only need to win, we need to swamp that Orange Loser.....which means voting blue up and down the ballot, we need to retake the Senate to get much done. So unfortunately no Warren for Veep with a Republican Governor in her State.

[CBHagman]

74. Better late than never.

In fairness, there have been many reports on the decades-long corruption of the Trump family, but despite all those, the narrative of Trump the so-called businessman and reality TV star was pushed to the fore. There are some members of the public who don't know Trump isn't self-made. There are probably many more who've heard nothing of his connections to organized crime or his mentoring by Roy Cohn, Joe McCarthy's aide, or the 1970s lawsuit about racist rental policies on Trump properties.

75. K&R

[bdamomma]

78. go ahead

Mike Bloomberg you have the money to take them down. DO IT!

[LiberalFighter]

79. That scorched earth needs to include prosecution and conviction.
