UPDATE: while Buzzflash ( https://www.buzzfeed.com/thomasfrank/secret-money-how-trump-made-millions-selling-condos-to?utm_term=.kh5vp0NKM#.mhqdxvRQ7 ) has reported on the money laundering aspects of this story, the report that the Haitian government has released their own previously unreleased indictment confirming same CAN NOT currently be verified.
Please note.

1. I hope it implicates Weasel Trump, Plastic Surgery Barbie Trump and Vampire Trump too!

2. Don't forget that foreign governments and the foreign press are major players in the Trump saga...

...and he's pissed them off.

3. How sweet it is.

4. I read this last night and have googled

numerous times to find any more info on this. Nada, zilch. Who is this Ed K guy?

[hlthe2b]

5. I posted it because Laurence Tribe did so. The Ed K person is an independant journalist

per his twitter "bio"... but google shows him to be a big time investor and depending on what vague posting you believe or not(the ones I saw were horrifically antisemitic), a bit sketchy in his own right. Still, that is the type of "bizness" guy who would be in the "know" re: Trump. Mother Theresa types won't likely have the "goods".

It isn't as though our media covers Haiti to ANY degree and I trust Laurence Tribe.

6. Tribe got the goods from Ed, and no one

else is talking...yet. I'll keep watching. Thanks!

I am sure this will be a huge story for all concerned, including journalists, if it's true.

7. Buzzfeed (and subsequently Rawstory) have reported on it. (the general basis for the claim)

The only part I can't yet further verify is re: the "emergency meeting to release the docs"... so, I suppose one can either believe the horrific antisemitic claims re: Ed K from multiple anonymous posters on the internets and discount the report totally or hope that Tribe knows enough about him to feel comfortable retweeting his twitter post. I'll keep watching.

8. I just googled it too and can't find any more credible media source.

9. Be skeptical

When I google the headline, no reputable news sources come up. Could be Russian deza - small grain of truth, but enough errors to try to cause loss of confidence in news sources that repeat the story.

[hlthe2b]

10. Please see my post 6 and 7(and 12). I have indicated there is such need and why.

If Laurence Tribe decides his information is limited to this highly questionable source and deletes, so too will I.

[highplainsdem]

11. Krassenstein just tweeted that his source is someone named Bandit Aleatoire - her

Twitter handle is @BanditRandom.

So far I don't see anything in her other tweets to suggest she'd have reliable sources.

Btw, yesterday she accused Krassenstein of plagiarizing her tweets, which is probably why he gave her credit today:

12. THAT is highly questionable. If Tribe decides he needs to retract, I will delete as well.

In the meantime, I have edited the OP to reflect.
