Who is Robert Mercer, and what does his name mean for this campaign season?

[Gabi Hayes]

nothing much, except he's behind the appointment of this trio to the Trump Campaign:

Steve Bannon Trump Campaign Chairman

Kellyanne Conway Trump Campaign Manager

David Bossie Trump Deputy Campaign Manager

Rachel discusses this as part of her half hour long (so far) exegesis on Bossie's role in the destruction of the Clinton reputation, culminating in his appointment as Deputy Campaign Manager to the gathering Trump blitzkrieg

here's just one article from the google link above:

Robert Mercer, 70, is a computer programmer by training who is the co-chief executive officer of Renaissance Technologies in East Setauket, New York. The hedge-fund firm uses computers to spot patterns in financial markets that wouldn't be obvious to human traders, and has generated one of the best investing records in history.

He got involved in major political spending in 2010, buying ads supporting a New York gubernatorial candidate by highlighting his opposition to the so-called "Ground Zero mosque." Since then, he's become one of the country's biggest Republican givers, with a preference for anti-establishment candidates and Tea Party favorites. One of his most long-standing beneficiaries is a chemist and sometime congressional candidate who is collecting thousands of vials of human urine in freezers in rural Oregon for medical research.

lots more, and if you want to cover yourself with really filthy, morbid outrage, go all the way back to 92, and Bossie's first claim to fame, his scandalous pursuit of the family of a woman who'd just committed suicide. Rachel went into a little detail on that.....it's where Bossie got his start.

literally the lowest sort of vermin imaginable

in 1992:

...... Bossie set out to prove that a young pregnant woman named Susan Coleman had committed suicide in 1977 after having an affair with Clinton. Coleman's mother told CBS that Bossie hounded her relentlessly with his false story, even following her to an Army hospital in Georgia, where she was visiting her husband, in recovery from a stroke. Bossie and another man "burst into the sick man's room and began questioning the shaken mother about her daughter's suicide," CBS reported.

how ironic, as the article begins like this:

One of the benefits we can all hope for from the Great Repudiation is that it may finally mean that the long Washington careers of some of the right's creepiest characters will finally be washed up. We can hope, anyway.

Exhibit A: David Bossie of Citizens United, who showed up on MSNBC to talk about his Supreme Court case involving the vicious Hillary-bashing "documentary" he made; Bossie is suing because the ads for the movie were considered campaign contributions and thus regulatable under McCain-Feingold:

he was, btw, that idiot Dan Burton's "chief investigator" in the Vince Foster murder scam, and got himself fired for doctoring tapes of Web Hubbel's jailhouse phone calls, etc. it's all in the link, in shortened form. suffice it to say that Bossie makes Roger Stone seem like Daniel Ellsberg.

1. He's a cockroach with billions to invest on Trump TV & Trump becoming Pres any way he can get it.

He is on the level of Trump, Ailes & Bannon &,yes..Bossie.
Nasty assholes who all gained their wealth & positiin by screwing over everyone.

They are all so ego-bloated that this election is about who will own the whole fking world.
Nov 8th 2016 is seen by these men as just anothe hostile takeover scam and everyone but them gets screwed in the deal.
They are the fking mob.

2. did you read the bloomberg piece? pretty tame, actually.

they always try to normalize monsters like mercer, Conway, and bossie.

yes, Conway. she's a real piece of work, who Rachel, at the end of her show tonight, called out as the baldfaced liar she is (denying that she was at a meeting with the top of the campaign, including Ailes)

I hope this kind of stuff gets out of the tight little world of msnbc, but, like almost every potential blockbuster story they put out, they just disappear down the media rathole, just like the Bush AWOL story, or the trump RAPE/sexual assault stories

or the Trump is INSANE stories, which are firmly dealt with by the media, then promptly ignore, unlike, of course the MADE up BS about Hillary's afflictions, which they've turned into their own cottage industries

this is EXACTLY the way the scandal machine works, from the Susan Coleman suicide, to Vince Foster, to Whitewater, to travelgate, to rose law, to Katherine
Willey, and on and on and on for twenty five fricking YEARS! and now david bossie is living in his own wet dream, with unlimited resources, and an even more compliant media to do his bidding

you can't even believe how bad it's going to get, because they know they can get away with just MAKING SHIT UP, and the media buys it, JUST like they bought the phony "c" markings on the 'classified' emails

just watch it unfold.
