Have any M$Greedia Cable or Network stations even mentioned Judge Curiel's recent decisions?

<snip>
Donald Trump actually won a small skirmish in his Trump University (TU) legal battle in the U.S. District Court in San Diego this week, but he continues to lose the war. The judge whom Trump has maligned for his Mexican heritage—U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo P. Curiel—cut The Donald some slack vis-à-vis the media but refused to reverse his earlier rulings and dismiss the case against Trump for his role in bilking people who enrolled in TU and received none of the promised instruction on how to succeed in real estate.

You will recall in May, after Trump became the presumptive presidential nominee of the Republicans, he began his unprovoked racist attack on Judge Curiel claiming the lawsuit against him for his role in TU was “in front of a very hostile judge.” Trump noted, “The judge was appointed by Barack Obama,” and added, “Frankly, he should recuse himself because he’s given us ruling after ruling after ruling, negative, negative, negative.” Trump claimed Judge Curiel was ruling against him because the former wanted to build a wall along our southern border with Mexico, and Trump believed the judge was Mexican. Learning that, in fact, Judge Curiel was born in Indiana did not slow Trump down, since the judge’s parents were Mexican, so he ranted on that he was being “railroaded” by a “rigged” legal system. He claimed Judge Curiel was a “hater of Donald Trump,” and the judge was a “disgrace,” who should “be ashamed of himself.” And he called for other federal judges “to look into Judge Curiel.”

exactly ONE mention of it, with the "happy" for trump emphasis that the tapes of his deposition will not be released. that was it

what I did learn, though, is that the transcripts of everything he said at those deps have been released. I have NEVER seen a reference to that on the tv set.

let's see.....

It’s been reported that Donald Trump “failed to recognize the name of a single presenter or teacher at his real estate seminars,” when he was deposed on his Trump University scam last December.

But that doesn’t do the actual deposition justice.

For upwards of 15 pages, Trump fumbles around, unable to answer questions identifying Trump University instructors by name, voice, or face. Trump also admits that he had no role in coming up with the Trump University curriculum. The whole thing is a mess. But hey, Trump was caught lying. Who can blame him for being a little flustered?

and who can, uh, forget this gem:

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/284716-trump-doesnt-recall-claim-of-having-worlds-greatest-memory

in a deposition for a Trump University lawsuit said that he doesn't recall claiming to have the world's greatest memory, according to newly released transcripts.

A lawyer questioning Trump in the case on behalf of the plaintiffs, Jason Forge, peppered the presumptive GOP presidential nominee with questions about his claims and actions surrounding the case.

At one point, he told Trump that the businessman had stated he had "one of the best memories in the world," according to a transcript that includes hundreds of pages of testimony.
"I don't know. Did I use that expression?" Trump asked. When told he had used the phrase, the billionaire asked to see evidence that he had said it, being told there was video of his remark.

"Did I say I have a great memory or one of the best in the world?" Trump asked for clarification, to which he was told he'd said he had "one of the best in the world."


amazing how often you hear about his on the tv, especially in comparison to the nonstop spewage about the Hillary server/emails

WOW!!!! I just found that, in the pdf transcript, you can cut and PASTE!

this could be my hobby for the next two weeks, til school starts
