BREAKING: Rachel Maddow Breaks Explosive Report – ‘A Foreign Government Blackmailing Trump’

“The day after our presidential election in this country, one of the world leaders who called up Trump tower and spoke with the president-elect was the president of Turkey,” Maddow explained. “And one of the perk up your ears strange things reported about that call is that while Donald Trump was on the phone taking that congratulatory phone call from the president of Turkey, in that same call, Mr. Trump brought up to the president of Turkey by name that executive from the Doğan company, the guy who was the key guy on Trump’s big twin towers in Istanbul.”

“Now Newsweek reports that Turkey has figured out how to turn that to their advantage and how to put the president of the United States over a barrel in the process,” Maddow explained.  “On December 1st, the top representative of the Doğan company, in Turkey’s capital city, got arrested by the Turkish police. Again, Trump as president-elect had taken an official call from the Turkish president and used that occasion to tell the Turkish president how much this one particular company meant to him, going so far as to name specific executives.”

“Turkey desperately wants the U.S. government to extradite an imam [Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen],” Maddow explained. “They [the U.S.] have said that they are not extraditing him. But if that’s what you wanted, what if you could squeeze the personal financial interests of the American president as a way to get what you want from the American government?”
“I mean, the Trump family and the president-elect themselves, they stand to make millions of dollars from their relationship with the Doğan group in Turkey. That will stop if they get locked up,” she continued. “So they started locking them up. Nice leverage, right? it would be one thing if it was business leverage — but it’s leverage against all of us as Americans.”

Looks like many of those that voted for Trump and those that campaigned to get him elected were suckered into it.

Or were many of them just 'commies'?

And these are the same racist/ranting Americans that were posting all of those heinous - vile images about our POTUS Obama and pushing his 'Birther' issue for 7+ years!  Now they want the millions that didn't vote for the 'Cheeto-King' to play NICE???

The Humbling Of Mitt Romney, By Donald J. Trump

“Mitt Romney is somebody I had respect for,” Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid says. “I have none anymore.”

12/13/2016 02:54 pm ET | Updated 13 hours ago
“Mitt Romney is somebody I had respect for,” Reid said, in a somewhat dubious assertion. “I have none anymore.”

It’s not just Reid. After the Tillerson news broke on Monday night, others in the Republican Party argued that a political blindsiding had just occurred, courtesy of the president-elect.

And while the Trump team offered cordial, diplomatic niceties for Romney, a step removed from that orbit, the president-elect’s confidants were gloating about a former rival’s diminishment. Roger Stone, speaking to the conspiracy-theory outlet InfoWars, said that Trump had only been toying with the 2012 GOP nominee, and that he was more interested in retribution than in staffing a foreign policy team.
“Donald Trump was interviewing Mitt Romney for secretary of State in order to torture him,” Stone said. “And given the history, that’s completely understandable.”
Romney’s defenders have framed his decision to offer himself up for the secretary of state position as an act of patriotism. The same defenders say Reid is simply being petty. In a statement to HuffPost, Romney expressed no regret for changing his approach to a president-elect he once called a con artist. 
“I was indeed very critical of Mr. Trump during his campaign. But now he has been elected president and accordingly, if I could have helped shape foreign policy to protect the country I love, I would have been more than willing to do so,” Romney said through a spokesperson. “As for Mr. Reid, I lost respect for him when he repeatedly lied about my taxes and later admitted to it cheerily. Good riddance, Mr. Reid. The Senate will be better served without you in it.”
