    Donald Trump acknowledged in two recent sworn depositions that he did not “hand-pick” any of the instructors at Trump University — one of whom was a convicted felon, according to new court filings in the case.

    On the campaign trail in recent days, Trump has been vigorously defending the operations of Trump University, describing the lawsuits against the now defunct school as a “minor civil case” that he will win and that were brought by a “sleazebag law firm.”

    But the new court filings in two of the cases in San Diego show the toll they have been taking on his time in recent months, as he was forced to sit for hours of closed-door grilling by plaintiffs’ lawyers on Dec. 10, 2015, and Jan. 21, 2016, even while running for president.

    In the December deposition, lawyers for the plaintiffs — former students of the school who claim they were defrauded — repeatedly confronted Trump with the names of the instructors at the school and asked him what he knew about them. The issue is key in the case because the school’s promotional literature claimed that Trump had personally chosen them and that they were “the best of the best.”

    “Learn from Donald Trump’s handpicked experts how you can profit from the largest real estate liquidation in history,” reads one of the school’s promotional brochures.

    “Can you identify a single person who was a live events instructor for Trump University?” plaintiffs’ lawyer Jason Forge asked Trump at the Dec. 10 deposition.

    “You’d have to give me a list,” Trump replied.

    Forge then clicked off 49 names, asking Trump if he could identify if they had been students at the school or instructors. Trump testified that he couldn’t identify any of them, repeatedly giving answers such as, “Too many years,” “I don’t know” and, at one point, “Some of these names sound familiar to me. I don’t know.” Forge also showed Trump a photo lineup of former instructors, asking if he recognized any of them. “No. No, I don’t,” he replied.

    One name that got attention in the depositions was James Harris, a former Trump University instructor. The lawyers for the plaintiffs introduced an exhibit in the case showing that, before he had been a Trump University real estate instructor, he had been convicted of aggravated assault in Georgia. Asked about Harris and if he was qualified to be an instructor, Trump replied, “I don’t know the people. I wasn’t running it.”

    I have to agree Trump has had some shady businesses. I remember when a guy invited me to a "huge event" he said. I dressed up expecting to go to a party with football players and models. The dude took me to a ing community center meeting room where they were selling some ing pyramid scheme phone service shut. And they played the video in the projector and Donald Trump was speaking


    Still. He's miles better of neocon Shillary

    Can't hate a guy for making that paper

    A lot of them signed report cards right after they took the classes saying they loved it! AND those report cards were absolutely not solicited for the purpose of future legal defense.

    Yeah, that hurts the plaintiffs case, but I think Donald still will have to pay.

    His voting pattern was probably this:
    Clinton
    Gore
    Obama
    Hillary

    Man, you're going to great lengths to white knight for your lord and savior.

    If/when they did commit fraud, I didn't condone it. You're literally condoning fraud.

    It's not that he gets stronger its just the people that vote for him don't care. He gets about the same demographically everywhere he competes no matter what.

    More people stop caring and start voting for him as the media tries harder. A lot of his voters don't like the establishment and the influence they have on the media. In Trump's case, any negative media attention is free advertisement and that makes him stronger.

    Damn Mitch, here's your ing lance.



    You keep saying this is not going to hurt him. It will.

    The University scam is not over yet. Trump should be the last person referring to someone as a criminal.

    All this buffonery that's going on will all culminate in his demise. What happened tonight will also effect him. You watch.
