I never heard of catfishing before today.

"Urban Dictionary: catfish
www​.urbandictionary.com/define.php?...
A catfish is someone who pretends to be someone they're not using Facebook or other social media to create false ...."

I also never heard of Cheri Jacobus
@ CheriJacobus
New York, NY
GOP consultant, TV pundit, wrote for The Hill, The Guardian.

She claims that FBI is investigating team Trump for this and that it is illegal.

See: https://mobile.twitter.com/CheriJaco...61101249867777

I did find where she has a bone to pick with Trump. She filed suit against him in 2016.

Any one know more about this catfishing?

Supposedly what exactly did they do?
Was it illegal?

Better than worshiping Dear Leader as the country goes to hell in a handbasket.

The only President I witnessed unbridled worship was Obama, the great divider. The left wish him back, even after the mess he left this country in.

Iran: gave them billions, which they are using to forward their nuclear aspirations. Paid a ransom to a terrorist state, first time ever.

Burgdahl: another ransom paid with 5 of their highest leaders released.

Russia: Gave them 20% of our fissionable material - a fact, not debunked as the left wish it to be.

Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan: all a mess, in absolute turmoil.

ACA: a failing bill which has screwed 16% of our entire economy.

You can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan... if you're a millionaire. So I guess that wasn't a lie... right?

Monsanto: protected no matter what they feed us.

This is just off the top of my head. Tell me where I'm wrong.

When you come up with some deflection, some nonsensical deflection, know you are worshiping failure.

But hey, he's black (1/2 anyway) and he was in office when our Seals killed Bin Laden. YAY

Now, he's getting paid millions by the very bankers he said he was against. Going on cruises and hob knobbing with the Wall Street and Corporate big wigs he said he was against. Just another political crony, but that must be his white side.

If you can't beat em, join em. He deserves it, right?

He'll be a multi-millionaire, and his minions will still be poor slobs who bought into his scam, and going to sleep holding his books. Lighting a candle under his poster and dreaming of the wasted lie.

The Chicago machine keeps droning on, and the fools keep defending him.

Irony

"Cherry" Jacobus was an active Republican in Michigan for many years; I believe she was elected to the State Board of Education a couple times. I did see her on a news/talking head show (CNN or Fox?) several years ago so I assume that at some point she hit the big time and went to DC or NYC. I don't know anything else about her.

This investigation is over Trump people lying to anti-Trump Republicans to get them to reveal information.

Jacobus was only one of the targets.
