http://bipartisanreport.com/2016/03/02/smoking-gun-has-uncovered-a-cocaine-scandal-in-donald-trumps-past/Remember Trumps infamous worlds greatest memory comments back when he insisted that he saw thousands of Muslims cheering as the World Trade Center come down on 9/11, which has since been debunked? That memory seems to have failed him when he was questioned about a cocaine dealer awaiting sentencing who had received help while imprisoned from Donald Trump. That, he cant remember.
Smoking Gun uncovered documents containing original transcripts of Trumps questioning by the Division of Gaming Enforcement in September 1990. The DGE questioned him about a letter of leniency submitted to a judge on behalf of one of Donald Trumps employees, Joseph Weichselbaum. That letter was signed by Donald Trump.
Joseph Weichselbaum ferried high rollers to Trumps Atlantic City casinos and trafficked cocaine on the side. He was convicted of embezzlement and grand theft auto before being charged with trafficking in 1985, when the letter asking a federal judge for leniency, signed by Donald Trump, was submitted to a judge. Slate reports that:
Spy says Weichselbaum was the general manager of the Trump-connected helicopter company from 1983 until 1986 and that his brother Frank Weichselbaum was one of the men who owned it.
While living in theTrump Plaza building in Manhattan, which Weischelbaum rented directly from Trump and paid for by bartering work from his helicopter company to Trumps casinos, he applied to have his federal case moved to a new venue. His case was moved from Ohio to Newark, New Jersey, and he was given a new judge there. That judge was Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trumps sister. Barry handed the case off to another judge, and Trumps letter for leniency was submitted to him.

I suspect this will have no affect on his supporters.
Bush was arrested for Cocaine in 1972. He stole the Presidency anyway.

It's about anger, fear, resentment, neglect, and retribution.
They know the GOP has abandoned them, and all they care about is sticking it to the GOP.
This isn't about finding a suitable president: It's the big F. U. to the GOP. That's what the tea party was, too.
And just wait until the GOP removes tRump at the convention. You thought they were angry now????
Wait till all of their votes are ignored.
