Now There's a Bloomberg Dossier & It's Devastating

As Democrats head to the polls in 14 states for Super Tuesday primary voting, former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg now has to worry about a dossier of his own.

Unlike a certain dossier of the Trump variety promoted by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele, I'd guess a good majority of the Bloomberg allegations are at least based in fact.

It's more quotidian - and yet, becoming public just as the Bloomberg campaign faces its first test, it yet again reinforces the narrative that Bloomberg fostered a toxic environment at his company.

The Daily Mail's lengthy headline said it all: "Bombshell dossier claims Mike Bloomberg abused employee who now features in his campaign, called another woman 'dog face' and failed to sack editor who gave employees MASSAGES.".

Other fun allegations in the dossier include one where Bloomberg told another employee, "Don't let the lesbian get you down!" The "Lesbian" referred to another powerful female employee.

At least two, according to the Daily Mail, have "Said they are not willingly silent." My guess is that, when and if they're released from the agreements, they're not going to talk about how wonderful and supportive Bloomberg was and how the workplace at Bloomberg LP was nothing close to toxic.

In response, Bloomberg LP has said that it "Strongly supports a culture that treats all employees with dignity and respect, and enforces that culture through clear policies and practices." We've heard that line time and time again from Michael Bloomberg and his companies.
