Newsweek's Kurt Eichenwald's findings from 6 months long investigation on twitter. Brilliant.

https://storify.com/alexandraerin/kurt-eichenwald-s-trump-findings


1.Trump lied to Congress that he was not meeting with any Indian casino executives when documents and sworn statements show he was.


2.Trump testified under oath that he is willing to claim success on something even when he knows his claim is false.

3. Deutsche Bank concluded Trump net worth at $788 million when he was publicly claiming (and told bank) he was worth multiple billions.

4. Trump said under oath that he determines his net worth based on how he feels.

5. While Trump suggests he has an MBA from prestigious Wharton graduate school, only attended undergraduate program for 2 years. Has no MBA
....

21. Trump admitted under oath that, when he claimed he was $9.5 bill in debt in his books, it was a lie and he knew it.

23. List of Trump failures: TrumpMortgage, TrumpFinancial, Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, Trump Shuttle,

24. ..Trump Vodka, Trump Steaks, Trump Taj, Trump Castle, Trump Plaza, Trump Dubai, Trump University, Trump Toronto, Trump Hollywood..(2/3)

25. I could go on many more tweets listing Trump's business failures. It'd be easier to list the Trump businesses that haven't failed. (3/3)

32. I wrote about Trump 4 New York Times. First time we spoke, he lied to me in his first sentence. He told three more lies in 5 min call.

37. Asked under oath identities of professors at Trump U (there were none) Trump said “I know names, but I don't know the identities.”

49. An investigation of Trump’s partners reveals an enterprise with deep ties to global financiers, foreign politicians and even criminals.

50. Trump’s business interests run in direct conflict with the national security interests of the United States. http://europe.n

52. Trump receives $8 million a year from South Korea business w/ interests in nukes. He has called for SK to have nukes.

56. Turkey’s president has told associates he will not allow US to use an airbase key to the battle against ISIS if Trump is president.

It gets worse.

I posted the storified form this person made so Eichenwald's original tweets can be read in order, minus the 'you lie' 'killary' etc. diversions. If you're a twitter reader, https://mobile.twitter.com/kurteichenwald

Please share this in your circles, and soon.
