Penn Professor Wants Probe of Trump’s Admission
August 28, 2020 at 7:56 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

A professor at the University of Pennsylvania has renewed a request to investigate how President Trump was admitted to the school in 1966, citing what he called “new evidence” on secretly recorded tapes in which Trump’s sister says a friend took his entrance exam, the Washington Post reports.

1. How about a probe into how he was admitted into the White House too?

“new evidence”

The Senate just dropped a massive Russia bombshell

* Trump's campaign chairman Paul Manafort's "high-level access and willingness to share information with individuals closely affiliated with the Russian intelligence services" was regarded as a "grave counterintelligence threat," and his "presence on the Campaign and proximity to Trump created opportunities for Russian intelligence services to exert influence over, and acquire confidential information on.

* Manafort was working directly with Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian intelligence officer, and tried to share internal campaign information with him. The committee says it obtained "some information suggesting Kilimnik may have been connected" to Russia's 2016 hacking operation of Hillary Clinton's emails and the Democratic National Committee.

* Roger Stone was tasked by the campaign with finding all he could about what information WikiLeaks had about Clinton and Democrats more broadly, and "Trump and the Campaign believed that Stone had inside information and expressed satisfaction that Stone's information suggested more releases would be forthcoming."

* Two other Russians who took part in the June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower with the top brass of the President's campaign had "significant connections to Russian government, including the Russian intelligence services."

6. Great number to repeat and repeat. Dem strategists have been playing the

long game. Hope that a treason like indictment, with tons of publicity, comes up before long.

[SheltieLover]

9. Yup

And not a fking thing being done about it!

[Botany]

10. This is just the tip of the iceberg that is the Mueller Report.

The information that Manafort and Gates gave Kilimnk (Russian Agent) wasn't just polling data but
data analytics that allowed Russia/Putin to put a fine point on their rat fucking of our elections.*

* election plural .... Russ Feigold was at > 90% chance of winning back his senate seat.

[SheltieLover]

11. No doubt in my mind!

[Botany]

14. And at least all of the Republican members of the Senate Intel committee knew of Trump's Russia ....

.... connections to rig the 2016 elections and still voted to let him off when the Senate voted on
his removal after his impeachment. I wonder how many and how deep the Russian US Senate
Republican connections were and still are?

[SheltieLover]

15. Very deep

They should be living in secure cages.

[certainot]

18. gop needs talk radio/limbaugh and putin has been using it since at least 2008 at least

2008 manafort was mccain's campaign co-chair and he and kilimnick had been hooked up back in 2006

they used limbaugh to force palin on mccain because without limbaugh's blessing mcccain didn't have a chance. limbaugh wouldn't support mccain untill minutes after palin was announced. palin had been wooed by russian oil and gas interests

limbaugh as talk radio leader has been deciding what is and isn't acceptable for GOP for 30 years - when did putin figure out how to feed him?

[crickets]

19. This.

[ancianita]

20. Pretty deeply compromised when you consider the Russian they've accepted money from.

There are at least twelve who qualify as Russian assets as of 2019:

Money from Leonard Blavatnik:

Mitch McConnell $2.5 M
Marco Rubio $1.5 M
Scott Walker $1.1 M
Lindsey Graham $800,000
John Kasich $250,000
Donald Trump ???



Ten who knew the contents of The Senate Intel Comte. Report when they voted to exonerate Trump:

Richard Burr, North Carolina, Chairman
(until May 15, 2020)
Marco Rubio, Florida, Acting Chairman
(from May 18, 2020)[1]
Jim Risch, Idaho
Susan Collins, Maine
Roy Blunt, Missouri
Tom Cotton, Arkansas
John Cornyn, Texas
Ben Sasse, Nebraska

Ex officio
Jim Inhofe, Oklahoma
Mitch McConnell, Kentucky

Add eight senators who visited Moscow on U.S. 4th of July:
Richard Shelby, Alabama
Ron Johnson, Wisconsin
Steve Daines Montana
John Hoeven, North Dakota
John Kennedy, Louisiana
Jerry Moran, Kansas
John Thune, South Dakota
Kay Granger, Texas

These are only the Fifth Column that we know of.

22. 👆 Great job of pulling names and data into one spot. Bookmarked.

[ancianita]

23. See my reply to crickets (which I thought was to you) ...

[Evolve Dammit]

21. It should start immediately. This is not OK to let it slide into nothing.

[TruckFump]

2. I would love it if he lost that degree he brags about all the time. EOM

[NewJeffCT]

5. Fordham should want that as well

He got into Fordham out of high school, NOT Penn. he transferred to Penn after two years at Fordham

[Botany]

7. The story I have heard is that he flunked out of Fordham and daddy bought his way into Penn.

n/t

[NewJeffCT]

8. Not sure about Fordham

but, back in the 60s, elite schools would often let in sons, nephews or grandsons of wealthy donors and/or famous alums - or potential wealthy donors like the Trump family was at the time. I think Trump's older brother put in a call on Donny's behalf at the time, or maybe it was an uncle that called on Donny's behalf? (Let Don into Wharton's real estate program and multi-millionaire Fred Trump will be pleased and maybe donate $$ to get his name on a building...)

And, once Donny gets into Penn, he skates by with the Gentleman's C

(Oh, and many schools still let in children/grandchildren/nephews/nieces of famous/wealthy alums now still, but I think the bar has been raised, which led to the recent admissions scandals of parents bribing coaches & others to get into the school)

12. All I can say is Hurry Up!

Don't have a probe that won't come out after the election, do it now. How hard can it be?

[bucolic_frolic]

13. You think an Ivy League institution will go there?

I think academia has some cracks in it. Not that I went to an elite school, but from what went on.

Affairs, graduate students burnishing one another's grades, upgrades and downgrades, instances of self-grading, shortened classes. Is it worth it? A big disappointment to me anyway. Hardly worth the time. I could see where working 9 to 5 for awhile and putting aside a sampling of shares of future growth companies - tech, steady, resource - has far more potential financially and doesn't carry the financial burdens of education.

16. that so and so never lifted anything in his blankety blank , blank life .

24. Strip away his degree which I am sure he paid others to do his school work.
