LEAKED: Axios Obtains Trove of Vetting Documents Revealing Wild 'Red Flags' of Trump Appointees

Axios has obtained nearly 100 internal Trump transition vetting documents that detail “red flags” and potential scandals for President Donald Trump’s political appointees.

Axios reported on the trove of documents during Axios on HBO Sunday night, documents which often foreshadowed future scandals that beset his government.

For example, former EPA head Scott Pruitt’s dossier had a section in his vetting form titled “allegations of coziness with big energy companies” and Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani’s vetting form contained a separate 25-page document titled Rudy Giuliani Business Ties Research Dossier.

he is not some master strategist, but he knows the process - create as much chaos as possible, keep the "base" distanced from reality and the simple minded "middle" in its "they are both the same fog. Keep both of them tweaked out with endless drama and outrage. Keep them defending the indefensible.

WE don't get it, I don't understand how so many can get caught up in it. But, this was going on LONG before he came along into politics, the GOP used the conservative media complex to do this decades ago, and created the fertile environment for this goon to take the whip from them.
