Brownshirts Crash Trump Fundraiser, Attack Motorcade, Assault Trump Supporters in Violent ‘Gauntlet’
[BREITBART] Leftist agitators viciously attacked attendees at a Donald Trump presidential campaign fundraiser in Minneapolis on Friday night.

Video shows dozens of anti-Trump activists shouting obscenities and throwing debris as they surround Donald Trump supporters attempting to exit the Minneapolis Convention Center.

Trump fundraiser attendees attempting to exit the building were forced through a gauntlet of punches, with one protester seen violently attacking an elderly man as another man and a woman caught the brunt of the brutal beating.

Some attendees attempting to leave the event were also spit on as they left the ­convention center, the Star Tribune reports.

Jaime DeLage of the St. Paul Pioneer Press captured video of Trump supporters being forced to run a "gauntlet" to get into the fundraiser.

DeLage also captured footage of protesters outside burning the American flag:

Reporter Emma Sapong with MPR News posted video of protesters attacking Trump’s motorcade:

The private fundraiser Friday night marked Trump’s first visit to the state as the Republican presidential nominee.

Tickets for the fundraiser ranged from $1,000 per person to $100,000 per couple. The event was reportedly closed to the press, and Trump didn’t grant the media his usual presser-style availability.

However,
it's easy to be generous with someone else's money...
former U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, who attended the dinner did say: "People want to live, mind their own business and have a good job, and I think that’s something Donald Trump understands."

"He’s a common-sense guy, not into political correctness," Bachmann added. "He has turned businesses around, and that’s what he wants to do with the country."

Michele Bachmann on ‘Deranged’ Brownshirts Targeting Donald Trump’s Supporters, Motorcade: ‘Rent-A-Thugs’ Were ‘Looking for a Beat-Down’

[BREITBART] The "deranged" brownshirts progressive protesters who attacked GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s motorcade and targeted Trump supporters in Minneapolis on Friday night are being protected by Hillary Rodham Clinton
... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzla and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Hamilton Fish ...
, the Democratic nominee for president, former Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) told Breitbart News exclusively.

Bachmann, who ran for president herself in 2012 and was one of the top conservatives in the U.S. House of Representatives for years before her retirement after last Congress, is a Trump supporter and was at the Trump event in Minneapolis. Bachmann said the protesters were using profanity to verbally harass Trump supporters, spitting on them, and were so much a threat to the community that coppers advised people that they needed to leave through alternative exits.

Obviously hoping for a violent response, which would then become the MFM's total focus.

I believe this type of response would be entirely adequate.

Immigration pivot from Trump?
[Univision] Trump now says he plans to legalize some undocumented immigrants. Sources tell Univision that Trump plans to announce a major shift on immigration policy next week. The Republican candidate met Saturday with Hispanic leaders who said he told them he regrets prior comments about Mexicans.

If true, Trump's plan would stand in sharp contrast to his previous statements about immigrants during the campaign.

#5  Has Univision been pro- or anti-Trump thus far? I'll wait to hear what the gentleman in question actually says, rather than get excited about battlespace prep from the other side.

Hackers targeted Trump campaign, Republican Party groups
Update from this article a week ago.
[AlAhram] Hackers targeted the computer systems of presidential candidate Donald Trump and Republican Party organizations as well as Democratic Party networks, sources familiar with investigations into the attacks said.

At least one Trump staff member's email account was infected with malware in 2015 and sent malicious emails to colleagues, according to one insider for the Republican candidate's campaign and an outside security expert. It was unclear whether or not the hackers actually gained access to campaign computers.

In the past month, U.S. security officials have said that starting last year, hackers infiltrated computers of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton and her party's congressional fundraising committee.

U.S. officials said they have concluded that Russia or its proxies were responsible, leading to calls by some Democrats and cyber security officials for the Obama administration to blame Russia publicly. Kremlin officials have dismissed the allegations as absurd, but there is anxiety in Washington over the possibility that a foreign power might be using hacked information to meddle in the Nov. 8 U.S. election.

The Trump campaign has hired security firm CrowdStrike, which also is assisting the Democratic National Committee, according to one person briefed on the matter. The company declined to comment.

A different outside security firm was hired to examine software the Trump and Clinton campaigns use to manage mailings, electronic outreach and other campaign efforts, another person who was briefed on the issue said.

A spokeswoman for Trump's campaign declined to comment. A spokesman for the Republican National Committee could not immediately be reached for comment.

The tools and techniques used to hack Republican targets resemble those employed in attacks on Democratic Party organizations, including the DNC and Clinton's campaign organization, two sources said. That has led U.S. officials to reach a preliminary assessment that Russia's military and civilian intelligence agencies or their proxies have targeted both political parties.

Attempts to hack into Republican political organizations over an extended period were reported in intelligence bulletins circulated by U.S. agencies, four sources said. They did not disclose the identities of the organizations.

Two U.S. security officials said the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security have offered assistance to both political parties in identifying possible intrusions and upgrading their defenses against what one of the officials called "constantly evolving threats."
