Exposing the largest, most expensive and deceptive case of crony capitalism in American history…
Meet the latest wealthy political powerhouse, California liberal billionaire Tom Steyer, who has emerged as an environmental hero and major source of cash for Democrats.
This is not just any Big-Bucks liberal. He's the extremely successful hedge-fund manager
with oil and coal investments, turned ferocious climate change
crusader, and is the notorious, outspoken opponent of the Keystone XL
Pipeline.
He is directly linked to the powerful left-wing think tank Center for American Progress (CAP) –– the dark, driving force behind President Obama's massive green energy scheme.
Steyer is two-time Obama bundler, a 2008 Obama "consultant," and a
frequent White House visitor. In 2012, Steyer was handpicked to make a cameo appearance at the Democratic National Convention and was even on the short-list to replace the departing Energy Secretary Steven Chu.
A darling of the Washington Post, they've label him as "the man that has Obama's ear when it comes to energy and climate change. Steyer is helping drive policy in Washington."
Even though he made a fortune in oil and coal, he's aligned himself with
the president's "war on coal." As John Hinderaker at Power Line
appropriately puts it: "Tom Steyer was for coal before he was against it."
Additionally, his former mega-firm Farallon Capital Management, L.L.C. (“Farallon”) has an invested interest in a rival pipeline that would compete with Keystone.
Steyer is a also big financial supporter for Greener Capital [now EFW Capital], a venture firm that invests in renewable energy, of which, so far, at least two
of their green energy firms have snagged millions of free stimulus
funds, Energy Department grants, and Department of Defense contracts.
While he has been a strong and consistent Democrat donor for some time
(occasionally to Republicans), as of late, Mr. Steyer has set his sights
and tons of cash on the 2014 midterms, supporting Democrats who are
partaking in his "war on climate change," while attacking Republicans he deems unfriendly to the environment.
"The goal here is not to win. The goal here is to destroy these people. We want a smashing victory,” Steyer said of candidates he judges to be on the wrong side of the climate change debate.Those following the "green" money know that Steyer’s impact was felt not so long ago when he “spent millions on the 2013 Massachusetts Senate and Virginia governor’s races, helping Democrats Ed Markey and Terry McAuliffe prevail,” reported POLITICO. And, by the way, both Markey and McAuliffe have their own green corruption tails.
Of course Snitch says nothiong of the OrangeAnus dodging paying his taxes to the government...
<<Ahhh..that oft repeated but never substantiated fairy tale.....>>Do you have any evidence that he HAS paid any taxes in the last 10 years? This is the president who refuses to release his tax returns, remember.In fact, he ADMITTED that he hadn't.
BTW. I don't remember Steyer calling Obama a criminal when he pocketed the Nobel proceeds and then acted like he worked for the Nobel Committee as opposed to working for the American pe

If you are waiting for trumps taxes to see if he keeps his vow, it will never happen.
And you must have missed when the Trump orginaziton later came out and said that tracking those payments isn't really practical.
MSNBC reported Wednesday a pamphlet from the company says the Trump Organization doesn't "attempt to identify travelers who have not specifically identified themselves as being a representative of a foreign government entity."
The pamphlet also says the Trump Organization plans to estimate profits from foreign governments, instead of calculating them
To attempt to individually track and distinctly attribute certain business-related costs as specifically identifiable to a particular customer group is not practical," the pamphlet says.
Sources told MSNBC Trump Organization employees are not asking whether hotel reservations or business is coming from a foreign government.

Oh and for the record, Obama didn't" pocket" his Noble peace prize proceeds. He donated them to 10 different charities. Which we know because unlike Trump, Obama's tax returns are public.
