Explaining Birther Myth, Trump Says He Knows People On Wall Street Who Commit ‘Fraud’ And ‘Change Documents’

Twice-bankrupted casino owner Donald Trump has made questioning Obama’s birthplace a “pivotal part” of his supposed presidential run, but because Trump’s concerns about Obama’s birth certificate have been asked and answered years ago, the reality TV boss has been forced to resort to increasingly bizzare justifications for his doubts. Last night, Trump told Fox News host Bill O’Reilly that he questions the veracity of Obama’s birth certificate because he knows plenty of people who can easily forge documents to commit fraud:

TRUMP: Bill, I grew up with Wall Street geniuses. What they do in terms of fraud, and how they change documents.

So he potentially knows some of the people on wall street who have defrauded all of us out of our futures?

Of course, securities fraud is a federal criminal offense, punishable by up to 25 years in prison. This type of fraud is also a serious and pervasive problem. From Enron to WorldCom to the Bernie Maddoff scandal, “Wall Street geniuses” have defrauded Americans out of billions of dollars, causing economic havoc. More recently, banks have been implicated in the so-called “robo-singing” scandal, where bank employees didn’t even review mortgage documents they were signing, such as foreclosure orders.

But if Trump is aware that his friends were committing fraud or forgery, why didn’t he do anything about it? Did he witness fraud? Did he ever posses a forged document? (If so, that too could be a felony). Or did he let his friends defraud people and perhaps take a little for himself?

1. Name names, Trump.

We want to know who.

[louslobbs]

14. He should be forced to tell the names of who he is friends with who changes documents and commits

fraud on all of us.

15. It is not hard to do

All you have to do is copy it from the browser box and then paste it under the article.
You don't have to use any special code or anything link that. It turns into a clickable link all by itself.
Hope that helps ya in the future :)

16. Much appreciated

3. Does he mean besides himself?

This is the parlance of a man who wants to diminish the severity of his own crimes. Just spread it all around, like fertilizer, and his own stink will be less noticable.

[louslobbs]

8. True, but the more he talks, the more he potentially lets a lot of cats out of his filthy bags

4. Either Cy Vance, Jr. (NYC Prosecutor) or Eric T. Schneider (NYS Attorney General)

should send Mr. Trump a little subpoena, convene a Grand Jury, open an investigation, and let the chips fall where they may.

[louslobbs]

10. I have sent several emails and have received not a single response, they probably just want this to

go away and if they ignore it, it will. Not if I can help it.

[Modern_Matthew]

5. If someone openly admits this, they should be required by law to give details. nt

[louslobbs]

7. I agree, he should be questioned and made to answer about those who he calls friends who commit

fraud and change documents to steal from all of us.

11. O investigated if they fail to provide proof. Trump is a jackass, republicans deserve

that clown.

[louslobbs]

13. They do, but do you think he's really running or is this publicity for his tired show?

[bluestate10]

9. In a show me society, Trump would be allowed to go bankrupt.

The man is a disgrace to anyone that value business ethics and selflessness.

[louslobbs]

12. True, no integrity, not an ounce and if I were one of his fraud committing friends, I'd

get out the shredder and start shredding. What a pal what a pal.

[Tx4obama]

17. I think Trump has himself just put an end to his presidential run :)

One of the main things a political candidate 'must' learn before running is what and what not to say in public especially if you are being taped :)

[louslobbs]

18. True, he just outted himself in more ways than one.

19. Throw His Ass In Jail Till He Talks........

he's aiding and abetting.

[UTUSN]

20. Could we have another FIFTEEN kicks for this thread?!1 n/t

[Biker13]

27. I Rec'd!

But really, I want him to run!

He's such an a-hole, it would be fun! And just think of all the stuff he'd give away! That man just can't keep his mouth shut!

21. So does he think white collar crime is no big deal?

And does he think the American people would elect someone who protects his friends who are white collar criminals?

[Marie Marie]

22. Wall Street types committing fraud?

Well, duh, Captain Obvious.

[spanone]

23. trump sees that whenever he passes a mirror

[RegieRocker]

24. Duh! Never would've thunk it.

[Quantess]

25. Obviously, he admires that.

He seems to think they are smarter than everyone else, smarter than all the rest of us honest, do-gooder, chumps.

[Historic NY]

26. Really...Agent Mike...paging Agent Mike.

[elehhhhna]

28. Watch the campaign 'contributions' from wall street ROLL in, now.

HUSH MONEY for the Donald.

[ck4829]

29. So basically, the same people who had an imaginary problem with Obama's birthplace

Are considering to vote for a guy who says he's surrounded by people who commit fraud and other federal offenses on a regular basis?

Just ponder that for a second.

[Mnemosyne]

30. Doesn't this make Trumpo an accessory? n/t
