Miami Herald: Donald Trump buys himself an attorney general for $25,000

This may not be getting much attention in the national media, but Florida has been on it - the Herald and the Tampa Bay Times especially.

The article begins by describing the conference call between Trump, Brewer, Scott Brown, our AG Pam Bondi, and other Trump surrogates wherein Trump goes off on Judge Curiel and tells his supporters on the phone that "they should demonize the judge and call any reporter who questioned the strategy a racist." Mr. Grimm points out that Bondi, our "state's chief legal officer," participated in a conversation that "conservative legal scholars criticized as contemptuous of American jurisprudence and Republican political leaders decried as outright racist;" that she listened and never uttered a word of protest.

The conference call occurred on Monday. That same day, an investigative AP report revealed that back in 2013, even as the attorney general’s office was receiving angry complaints from Floridians claiming they had been defrauded by Trump’s faux university and not long after her office intimated Florida might join New York’s $40 million lawsuit against Trump University, Bondi had “personally solicited” a campaign contribution from Trump.

It gets even worse. After a Bondi campaign committee received a $25,000 check from the Trump Foundation, the attorney general’s office dropped its inquiry into Trump U. (In a call to the Miami Herald/Tampa Bay Times bureau Tuesday, Bondi protested that her office had never opened a formal investigation.)

And worse still. The donation — from Trump’s Section 501©(3) charitable foundation — was illegal. And never reported to the IRS. Tax-exempt charitable foundations are prohibited from engaging in political activity. That’s for Trump and the IRS to work out. But how the hell could a prohibited transgression like that go unremarked for nearly three years by its recipient, Florida’s chief legal officer? How was it that the very attorney general failed to check the provenance of her $25,000 donation?

Which only adds another sleazy chapter to Bondi’s history of bent ethics. In 2014, The New York Times reported that a Washington lobbying firm specializing in influencing state attorneys general had lavished considerable attention on Bondi, showering her with gifts, exotic junkets and campaign contributions. Meanwhile the Florida Attorney General’s Office lost interest in pursuing fraud allegations dogging the firm’s various clients.


Oh, and she'll be joining Trump once again when he holds a rally here in Tampa this Saturday. That $27,500 (including the IRS fine) sure was well spent.

Watchdog Group Files Complaint With IRS Against Trump Foundation

Watchdog Group Files Complaint With IRS Against Trump Foundation
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a complaint with the IRS alleging the mogul’s foundation violated its tax-exempt status by participating in his presidential campaign.

A government watchdog is taking legal action in an effort to compel the Internal Revenue Service to investigate whether Donald Trump’s charitable foundation violated its tax-exempt status by engaging in political activity on behalf of the Republican nominee’s presidential campaign.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a left-leaning government watchdog group, is filing a formal complaint to IRS Commissioner John Koskinen on Monday morning, citing the Donald J. Trump Foundation’s highly publicized contributions to veterans charities that were doled out earlier this year—which could be a violation of its nonprofit status.

If the IRS audits the Trump Foundation and it is determined to have violated regulations governing nonprofits, the charitable organization could lose its tax-exempt status and the Republican nominee himself could be subject to excise taxes.

Tax-exempt organizations like the Trump Foundation—of which Trump is the president—are strictly prohibited from engaging in political activity.

AP: Greg Abbott Given $35K Campaign Donation by Trump after Trump University Probe Dropped


AP: Greg Abbott Given $35K Campaign Donation by Trump after Trump University Probe Dropped

WASHINGTON -- Texas Gov. Greg Abbott received a $35,000 donation to his successful gubernatorial campaign from Donald Trump. This after a Texas probe into Trump University was dropped in 2010, according to the Associated Press.

The AP reported that Abbott, a Republican, was serving as Texas Attorney General at the time, and opened a civil investigation of "possibly deceptive trade practices" into Trump University, but quietly dropped it when the organization agreed to end its operations in Texas.

Trump subsequently donated $35,000 to Abbott's successful gubernatorial campaign, according to records obtained by the AP.

The AP reported that a spokesman for Abbott declined to comment.

Trump for prison!

[rdean]

Man, I can't believe it's finally happened. I've been writing about this on the USMB and other blogs for months. I've written to stations and newspapers. And finally, finally, finally, they are looking into it. I'm sure USMB Republicans were getting really sick of me constantly bringing it up if the name calling was any give a way.

Josh Marshall wrote about the best article about it I've seen in Talking Points Memo:

About As Clear Cut as They Get

Yesterday I pressed the point of the wildly dissimilar campaign coverage of Trump and Clinton, particularly the continuing saturation coverage of Clinton 'scandals' in whichshe's actually being exonerated and virtually no coverage of a pretty cut and dry pay-for-play story with Trump, his foundation and his efforts to protect himself legally from the fallout of the exposure of his real estate seminar scam business, 'Trump University'. But the case with Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is more serious than that. We usually use the phrase 'pay-to-play' when talking about money for access, money for government contracts or friendly interventions in the legislative process. The Trump-Bondi case looks like money in exchange for killing an investigation and possible lawsuit against Trump. It would be like Hillary Clinton making a cash payment to Loretta Lynch or James Comey during the email probe.

----------------------------

He does a great job of outlining the entire scam. With dates, fines from the IRS, statements and a dated check.

There is no getting around this one "sTrump pets". Everything is right there. Will the press run with a story that's as smooth as a fresh jar of Skippy? They don't even need that much research it's so out in the open in in your face.

Trump, dismissed the allegations of impropriety, says the donation Fla. AG received is not tied to - naijaknow

It's popped up on the news at least three times today.

Complicating matters further, Trump has boasted on the campaign trail about what he gets when he gives money to politicians.

"When I want something, I get it. When I call, they kiss my ass. It's true," Trump said.

That same day, an investigative AP report revealed that back in 2013, even as the attorney general’s office was receiving angry complaints from Floridians claiming they had been defrauded by Trump’s faux university and not long after her office intimated Florida might join New York’s $40 million lawsuit against Trump University, Bondi had “personally solicited” a campaign contribution from Trump.

It gets even worse. After a Bondi campaign committee received a $25,000 check from the Trump Foundation, the attorney general’s office dropped its inquiry into Trump U. (In a call to the Miami Herald/Tampa Bay Times bureau Tuesday, Bondi protested that her office had never opened a formal investigation.)

And worse still. The donation — from Trump’s Section 501©(3) charitable foundation — was illegal. And never reported to the IRS. Tax-exempt charitable foundations are prohibited from engaging in political activity. That’s for Trump and the IRS to work out. But how the hell could a prohibited transgression like that go unremarked for nearly three years by its recipient, Florida’s chief legal officer? How was it that the very attorney general failed to check the provenance of her $25,000 donation?

Which only adds another sleazy chapter to Bondi’s history of bent ethics. In 2014, The New York Times reported that a Washington lobbying firm specializing in influencing state attorneys general had lavished considerable attention on Bondi, showering her with gifts, exotic junkets and campaign contributions. Meanwhile the Florida Attorney General’s Office lost interest in pursuing fraud allegations dogging the firm’s various clients.


Oh, and she'll be joining Trump once again when he holds a rally here in Tampa this Saturday. That $27,500 (including the IRS fine) sure was well spent.

Donald Trump buys himself an attorney general for $25,000

My god what a crook trump is. What a piece of fucking shit! How the fucking can you dare attack Clinton with this scum?

If you don't also have a problem with this then shut up

Hillary Clinton Holds $100,000-a-Head Fundraisers

So quid pro quo is no longer an issue?

Evidently so. The 'all-in' media, the current Attorney General, the current President, and every liberal Hillary supporter doesn't seem to care Hillary has been caught red handed by her own documents and emails.

If this were Hillary Clinton paying off an attorney general you'd have started 20 threads on it by now.

Tell me about it.
