Anything that Donald Trump criticizes others for, including pay-for-play, lying, and misuse of charity funds, it’s later revealed that the real grifter and con man is Donald Trump himself. During his personal lawyer and “fixer’s” testimony in front of the House Oversight Committee, Michael Cohen will once again prove Trump a hypocrite after he challenged President Obama for not releasing his college records.
Of all the crimes in Michael Cohen's prepared opening statement, these threats to conceal Trump's school grades and SAT scores while Trump was repeatedly issuing his racist calls for Barack Obama's "sealed" school and test records, may be the one that pisses me off the most. pic.twitter.com/AmnV1tDz0X

Trump insisted that Obama hid his school records because they would prove that Obama was a foreign student during his racist birther phase. As it turns out, Trump told his lawyer to threaten his former schools should they release his SAT scores or records.
According to Newsweek:
‘Attached to the statement are “copies of letters I wrote at Mr. Trump’s direction that threatened his high school, colleges and the College Board not to release his grades or SAT scores,” according to the document.’
Trump obsessed over Obama's college records. As Cohen tells Congress "When I say con man, I’m talking about a man who declares himself brilliant but directed me to threaten his high school, his colleges, and the College Board to never release his grades or SAT scores” https://t.co/IeTEoSEIsM

The “stable genius” may not be as intelligent as he claims to be, which is not a surprise. Trump has lied repeatedly to the American people, after all. Hiding his school records certainly proves he has something to hide.
‘Trump was educated at New York Military Academy, a boarding school, from 13 before enrolling at Fordham University as a student. He transferred as a junior to the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania and graduated with a bachelors degree in economics in 1968.’
Of all the #CohenCongressionalTestimony findings, this is my favorite so far:
– Evidence that Trump threatened schools on disclosing his SAT scores and college records.
Clearly such a stable genius is hiding his scores so as not to make all the other geniuses feel insecure.

Cohen says that Trump repeatedly lies and cons voters and business associates. What’s more, Cohen says that Trump is a racist and that he knew about the Wikileaks email dumps to discredit his political opponent, Hillary Clinton, well before the public knew about it. He believed he would never be caught.
‘Trump often boasts of his intelligence and admonishes others for their alleged stupidity or “low IQ” as he perceives it. But there is little record of Trump’s academic achievements beyond the fact that he graduated from high school and college, with no public details of his grades or SAT scores.
Fordham University confirmed the veracity of Cohen’s statements.
Fordham, where Trump attended for 2 years, confirms to NPR that someone on the Trump campaign reached out toward beginning of presidential runs, asking about grades being released (1/)

"We told the caller that Fordham is bound by federal law, and that we could not/would not reveal/share any records," says Fordham spokesman. (This is the school's policy whether or not you're running for president.) (2/)

After the call, school spokesman says, "Fordham received a follow-up letter from one of Mr. Trump's attorneys summarizing the call and reminding us that they would take action against the University if we did, in fact, release Mr. Trump's records."

These are just a few of the reasons Cohen has called Trump a con man and a liar.
‘“When I say con man, I’m talking about a man who declares himself brilliant but directed me to threaten his high school, his colleges, and the College Board to never release his grades or SAT scores,” Cohen is set to tell Congress.’
Trump regularly demanded that Pres. Obama publish his college & records … meanwhile:
