Trump Foundation to be dissolved.


A.G. Underwood Announces Stipulation Dissolving Trump Foundation Under Judicial Supervision, With AG Review Of Recipient Charities

quote:


Attorney General Underwood released the following statement:

“Our petition detailed a shocking pattern of illegality involving the Trump Foundation – including unlawful coordination with the Trump presidential campaign, repeated and willful self-dealing, and much more. This amounted to the Trump Foundation functioning as little more than a checkbook to serve Mr. Trump’s business and political interests."

...

“This is an important victory for the rule of law, making clear that there is one set of rules for everyone. We’ll continue to move our suit forward to ensure that the Trump Foundation and its directors are held to account for their clear and repeated violations of state and federal law.”



The Post's David Fahrenthold writes:
quote:

The largest donation in the foundation's history — a $264,231 gift to the Central Park Conservancy in 1989 — appeared to benefit Trump's business: It paid to restore a fountain outside Trump's Plaza Hotel. The smallest, a $7 foundation gift to the Boy Scouts that same year, appeared to benefit Trump's family. It matched the amount required to enroll a boy in the Scouts the year that his son Donald Trump Jr. was 11.

On the other hand, this racket has always been a solid bet because people like free stuff!

It's warfare. You know it, I know it. I considered it a rejoinder, myself. From your pov however, the Donald thing, because he seems to have flinched, may be giving your team, the White House, because if he doesn't believe in American borders, which he ran on, and is just another Koch brothers globalist, then why should we head for the polls?

Now, he could go back and win the day, but pep talks and half-measures won't work on this issue.If he doesn't deliver, then it indicates to be he has said !@#$ it for 2020. So, sleep well tottalah.

Indeed, Spud!

And lucid - if you feel it is very legit to dig into and critique a very well known politicians family Charity, by all means, "lets go there."

You know the comparison there, lucid, do you not? From the crass cruelty of denying Haitians the donations made in their names...

https://www.nationalreview.com/2016/07/hillarys-america-secret-history-democratic-party-dinesh-dsouza-clinton-foundation/

...to the corruption at the Attorney Generals Department. The Attorney Generals' Department told Agent McCabe to "ease off on the durn Clinton Charity, durn it" -

"McCabe told the OIG that on August 12, 2016, he received a telephone call from Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General regarding the FBI’s handling of the Clinton Foundation.

McCabe said that the PADAG expressed concerns about FBI agents taking overt steps in the Clinton Foundation investigation during the presidential campaign.

According to McCabe, he pushed back, asking “are you telling me that I need to shut down a validly predicated investigation?” McCabe told us that the conversation was “very dramatic” and he never had a similar confrontation like [that] call with a high-level Department official in his entire FBI career."

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2018/04/23/the_hidden_bombshell_in_the_mccabe_report_136882.html

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By all means, Sir - toss the brickbats and Molotov cocktails in print, as your ideological allies do physically with a will.

The more articles that dwell on this political prosecution/persecution by the New Your legal community, the more your team establishes itself on fine ground for us - much as Wellington found himself situated on ground he could well defend, by chance, giving him his epochal Waterloo victory over Napoleon.

As the '20 campaign firms out, the comparisons of each "family charity" will have been written by several fine writers for this and that site and mag.

Its too natural a subject not to dig into - it simply must happen! I feet most safe as I assume that such articles will have been written and will be there for easy reference by our side. Such comparisons can only end up looking amazingly worse for your team.

So please - do your part to push the "A politician has a wrong family charity" meme. It can only redound to our favor during the next roughly year and a half.

So are you saying that 2 wrongs make a right or what? Either way, I'm not particularly a fan of the Clintons or their foundation anyway so you can feel free to criticize them all you want.

Equal justice would be nice. There isn't in Washington. That's a big problem, as I suspect you'll see in the next election.

Re: Trump Foundation to be dissolved.


lucid,

Two wrongs? Three? One? I am not saying that any specific anything has happened, apart from what you know of as well as I.

You post about current news relating to the prosecution/persecution of the Pres by the NY legal community.

They are doing so by proxy, using his Charity.

The criticism comes to him via that Charity.

I simply note that in this case of an attack on the Pres, the attackers create a "bad for the Dems" opening to the Repubs.

Using the "family charity" angle, and a party to party comparison, it will be a natural choice for the Repubs to frame it that way.

The media will be making a hullabaloo over the Trump Charity legal issues. So, hey, that Clinton Family Charity stuff we dug into so much during the campaign - lets do a comparison angle...

Editing and writing efforts that start from that will result in many reaction stories from the right.

Reacting to many attacks on President Trump for his Charity from many media sources that have been appearing for a while and will increase, now.

Thats all. Not any moral math about how many wrongs by how many different wrong-makers equal how many rights.

You may have more luck with stuff like that at https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/angels_dancing_on_the_head_of_a_pin

Apparently that "charity" wasn't much of a charity and it functioned "as little more than a checkbook to serve Mr. Trump’s business and political interests." according to the Attorney General of New York. Being president means more scrutiny on yourself and your organizations, and Trump is feeling that now.

Fine with me, compare away. Dissolve the Clinton foundation too for all I care. It won't be nearly as sensational because it doesn't relate to the sitting president, but if the Clintons were using their foundation as "little more than a checkbook to serve [their] business and political interests" then it probably should be dissolved too.
