It'd have more credibility if you told us you discovered this juicy tidbit scrawled on a bathroom wall in crayon.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, if they bust Trump for this BS what's that say for every other candidate that does the same thing?
You, folks, are really desperate. I don't' blame you when it is Mrs. Tulza Clinton on the other side.
I wonder if this can be found somewhere thats not run by a bunch of butt hurt liberals.

Trump compared Carson to a child molester earlier in the debates. Would you endorse someone who called you a child molester?
Clinton broke US secrecy rules
And yet after all those investigations, they got nothing. Better luck next time.
What you talkin' bout clowny... the FBI just opened a SECOND INVESTIGATION of HER and THE BLOW JOB, and the Clinton Crime Family Foundation...Look it up!
More silly investigations. How many fruitless investigations does that make so far? At least dozens, if not hundreds.
The FBI is a fruitless investigation... She fucking wishes!

Im actually not interested enough. I figure if you can be ok with hillary and all of her illegal anti American acts of treason, then in reality you honestly cant be too concerned with Trump offering someone a position in his administration.I wonder if this can be found somewhere thats not run by a bunch of butt hurt liberals.
Well gee whiz ... If should happen to have access to the InterWebs, you could type in an almost magical web site called Google and look it up yourself.
Or you could just wait to be spoon fed.

Poisoning the Well fallacy. ^^
It's not poisoning the well when it's true!
Here is the article/interview that ThinkProgress cites as it's source material for it's spun propaganda.
Ben Carson: Trump Promised Me a Job
Nowhere does Carson state that he traded his endorsement for a position. He lays out a very well reasoned explanation for his endorsement of Trump, and then much later says he may take on an advisory roll to the Trump Campaign...which is exactly what Christie is doing.
You on drugs? Of course it is. Your dismissing a source because of who the source is is automatically a PTW fallacy. The actual content is irrelevant. It's a fallacy because that's not the basis for a rational argument. Ever.
Moreover the title of the poisoned-well link is "Ben Carson: I Didn’t Want To Endorse Trump, But He Promised Me A Position" ------ and it goes on to quote Carson saying just that.
MORE moreover, the law itself is linked. I quoted it.
So again --- IS it the law, or isn't it?
It's no wonder we can never agree.
Eat shit, dummy. You quoted my post about deflection with some unrelated shit. Why should I care?
Eat shit, dummy. You quoted my post about deflection with some unrelated shit. Why should I care?
A simple 'I cannot' would have sufficed.
when did you care about the law?gotta go with;
And?
as in, And how is this different than any other election?
but it would be nice to see a law enforced
No doubt deals are made, but don't you think they should at least make a attempt to stay within the law?
Trump bought Carson's endorsement. The penalty for that is up to 2 years in prison. I wonder how right wingers are going to try to spin this.
Ben Carson: I Didn’t Want To Endorse Trump, But He Promised Me A Position
Dr. Ben Carson, who endorsed Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy on Friday, appears less than enthusiastic about that decision. And the real reason the unsuccessful GOP presidential hopeful endorsed his former rival could be a violation of federal law.
Carson told the conservative online site NewsMax TV on Monday that he backed Trump based on a practical calculus.
“I didn’t see a path for [John] Kasich, who I like, or for [Marco] Rubio, who I like. As far as [Ted] Cruz is concerned, I don’t think he’s gonna be able to draw independents and Democrats unless has has some kind of miraculous change… Is there another scenario that I would have preferred? Yes. But that scenario isn’t available.” Pressed to clarify, Carson said he meant he’d prefer to have backed one of the other candidates.
Carson then said that Trump had promised him a role in his administration, “certainly in an advisory capacity.” Asked by NewsMax’s Steve Malzberg whether this meant a cabinet position, Carson declined to “reveal any details about it right now, because all of this is still very liquid.”
Federal law expressly prohibits candidates from directly or indirectly promising “the appointment of any person to any public or private position or employment, for the purpose of procuring support in his candidacy.” The penalty for violations could include fines or a year in jail — two years if the violation was willful.
This is ridiculous. Obama would be doing two life sentences for making good on promises like this. He gave ambassadorships to campaign donors who were unqualified. He placed the CEO of General Electric in his cabinet and the founder of SEIU in his cabinet as well.Trump bought Carson's endorsement. The penalty for that is up to 2 years in prison. I wonder how right wingers are going to try to spin this.

Not if you're a Democrat does it matter. Hillary won't pay for her crimes as long as democrats run the DOJ.We do still have laws, do we not?
So Hilary Clinton becoming Secretary of State was what ?Trump bought Carson's endorsement. The penalty for that is up to 2 years in prison. I wonder how right wingers are going to try to spin this.
