Related: About this forumMittens didn't know he had accounts abroad.
Yes folks, he says he did not know. There was that blind trust that he hides . . . I mean uses as an excuse for not knowing. Will he show us proof of this blind trust holding and investment package that he has no control over? Doubt it, but we can ask. This guy really holds the public in low esteem. What would us peons know of a blind trust and world investment properties and such? Nothing. He's right. But, we really do want proof that he's telling the . . . hold it, hold it . . . TRUTH.

(2,307 posts)but, I have one more. Why wait several days to let this be known? Ok, you are caught off guard so you verify, but that didn't take the whole weekend. He and his staff has been defending the investments stating they were legal and he didn't make one more dollar using them.
Someone needs to explain to Mittens that once you come up with a story you stick with it. You don't defend what you are doing then when you are not being believed say I didn't even know I had them.
