Chicago Gangs Want To Work With Trump To Fight Crime
Chicago gangs want to have a sit-down with Trump to discuss cleaning up the city.
The founder and pastor of a megachurch in Ohio told President Trump he has spoken to gang leaders in Chicago who want to work with the White House to reduce violent crime.
Taking a swipe at former President Obama, who began his political career as a community organizer in Chicago, Dr. Darrell Scott said the gangs “want to work with the administration … they believe in this administration; they didn’t believe in the prior administration. They told me this outta their mouths.”
The founder and pastor of a megachurch in Ohio told President Donald Trump he has spoken to gang leaders in Chicago who want to work with the White House to reduce violent crime.
Dr. Darrell Scott, senior pastor of New Revival Center in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, was a guest of Trump’s at an African-American History Month meeting at the White House. He said he is a “black Trump supporter,” and claimed he was “contacted by some of the top gang thugs in Chicago for a sit-down.”
Taking a swipe at former President Obama, who began his political career as a community organizer in Chicago, Scott said the gangs “want to work with the administration … they believe in this administration; they didn’t believe in the prior administration. They told me this outta their mouths.”
“They reached out to me, because they’re associating me with you. They respect you. They believe in what you’re doing, and they want to have a sit-down about lowering that body count. So in a couple weeks, I’m going into Chicago,” Scott said. “I said we’ve got to lower that body count. We don’t want to talk about anything else; get that body count down, and they agreed that the principals that can do it – these are guys straight from the streets, no politicians, straight street guys – but they’re going to commit that if they lower that body count, we’ll come in and we’ll do some social programs.”
Trump said, “I think that’s a great idea, because Chicago is totally out of control.”
“If they’re not going to solve the problem — and what you’re doing is the right thing — then we’re going to solve the problem for them, because we’re going to have to do something about Chicago, because what’s happening in Chicago should not be happening in this country,” Trump added.
Chicago had more than 760 murders in 2016, the highest number in 19 years. The first month of 2017 saw that trend continue, with 51 homicides in January, one more than January 2016.
Scott said the gang members who reached out to him want to work with Trump.
“They see hope with you,” he said.
Trump said, “I think that’s great.”
DOJ: ‘Reasonable Cause’ To Believe Chicago Cops Use Excessive Force
The Department of Justice concludes that there is “reasonable cause to believe that the Chicago Police Department engages in a pattern or practice of use of excessive force in violation of the Fourth Amendment.”
Chicago has one of the highest crime rates of any city in the Nation. Sounds like they aren’t allowed to be excessive enough.
The DOJ is trying to burn down Chicago before Trump gets in. Very irresponsible. Obama is throwing Molotov cocktails on his way out. SHAME! pic.twitter.com/LFf07R5nj9

Imagine if the city were full of law abiding citizens. Would there still be a finding of excessive force?
President Clinton Paid Speeches
Look at attachment at the section on Marc Lasry.
In 2004, Rahm Emanuel introduced me to Marc Lasry; Rahm and I later introduced President Clinton to him at an event for Mr. Emanuel in 2004. Mr. Lasry is a good example of the complex relationships a friend/supporter can have within the Foundation. Mr. Lasry has held two Foundation fundraisers at his home, which raised several hundred thousand dollars. In [year], I became a paid advisor to Mr. Lasry’s firm, Avenue Capital and subsequently introduced Mr. Lasry to Chelsea Clinton Mezvinsky. Mrs. Mezvinsky went to work for Mr. Lasry at Avenue Capital in [year] and continued working for him through [year].
Mr. Lasry, like other Foundation donors, has a multifaceted relationship with the Foundation and the President. He has been helpful on a number of fronts, including hosting Foundation fundraising events at his home, responding favorably to our requests to use his plane for Foundation and the Clintons’ personal purposes, killing potential unfavorable stories in the Enquirer (of which he owns a controlling share of the debt), assisting Marc Mezvinsky – Chelsea Clinton Mezvinsky’s husband – in raising money for his new fund and securing President Clinton to give for a paid speech
This is so corrupt holy cow.
