Trump Foundation ordered to stop fundraising by N.Y. attorney general’s office

Just 1 point. His charities have been in the news. I think it would have been smart for his lawyers-campaign staff to have ensured that all the ducks were lined up in a row regrading this.

That kind of confusion isn't unique to Mr. Trump's orginizations.

OMG!!!

I just got a telephone call from Prince of Sudan telling me he has millions of dollars in a off shore account that he can't get access too because he was overthrown by an illegal group of rebels. Thankfully, the money can be accesses if I send him $5,000 dollars to get the money unfrozen and he can get access to his money sharing half with me.

I only get half for that, but that camel riding thunder chicken can get all of it without sharing? That seems equitable.

And the French Marauder's don't have to send a dime to crumpets. Crumpets are delicious. The dalmatians are cheese doodle red cart flip flop flarney flue.

I have a contact who has a contact, who also has a contact. We can do the deal for 2000 USD. That is 60% off the original price, how can you lose.

Not the head of any Org or business?
Bill is on the Board of the Clinton Foundation and others I assume.
Point was - the charities were in the news, they should have verified all was legally signed off and such.

Is TCF an org, or business? Yes...it is

TCF has as many issues as TTF. Like I said, the oversights within TTF aren't exclusive. TCF violated NY la . Was it forced to cease all fundraising activity?

Political BS, that's only going to make the Democrat NY AG look bad, and hurt the veterans and others that the foundation was giving the money to.

Very stupid move by the NY AG.

From what I understand the "foundation" was not giving to vets or many others, and in fact it looks as if money were used to pay Trump legal fees and spent on his WH bid, this story is not going to go away, the Dems and some Repubs will ensure that.

Oooopsies. Apparently the Donald hasn't listened to some of those lawyers he pays so well



Filling out a simple form was apparently seen as too much trouble. I'm sure it was one of those low level minions who screwed up. We all know what a great businessman the Orange Cheeto claims to be.

That is a portrait that Trump spent $10,000 of Trump Foundation money to buy. It currently hangs in one of his restaurants. How exactly is that benefitting veterans?

State Attorney General Orders Trump Foundation to Cease Raising Money in New York

The office of the New York attorney general, Eric T. Schneiderman, has issued a “notice of violation” to Donald J. Trump’s foundation, ordering it to immediately stop soliciting charitable donations in the state.

Turns out that the Trump Foundation did not even register in New York, as required by law. There is also the issue of self-dealing from the foundation by Trump, which is not going to go away either.

Trump's foundation is operating without proper registration.

It's my understanding that they filed the paperwork but made a mistake or left a box unchecked. Normally, if such an error is found, the state would send the form back to the group, have them correct the error, and refile the form.

But, nooooo, not in New York. Not from a Democrat AG that's a shill for Hillary. They have to make a HUGE deal (pun intended) in an attempt to make a guy that already looks pretty bad, look bad.

Anyone with any common sense can see what's going on here, and it's a joke.

If that's true, then he or whoever used the money that way should be prosecuted in court, not in the media by political hacks.

How is that? By law, you are required to register a foundation or charity with the state. This goes for everybody. Trump doesn't get a pass just because he is Trump..... Well, maybe from you he does, but that's not what the law says. To be honest, I am sure the AG is laughing with glee in enforcing the law. But whose fault is that? Trump's fault.

I'm supposed to take your word for how that item was paid for and with what funds he used?

Problem with Trump is that he didn't cover his ass while he was self-dealing from his foundation.

I wouldn't have a hard time believing that. All I need is proof. I've seen a hell of a lot of accusation and circumstantial shadows written in articles and on TV "news" programs, but no real actual proof.

Then lets agree to see what the criminal investigation turns up.

That's what I'm waiting on. Same as I do for cops that shoot black guys, or black guys accused of shooting white guys, or like this one, orange guys shooting themselves in the ass.

I have no problem with Trump, or Hillary being prosecuted for any laws they have broken. So far though, Hillary's the only one getting off the hook. We may get to see if Trump can do that as well.

So let's see one may have broken the rules using private emails and the other may be an outright thief, I wonder what is worse.

Really? Just broke the rules, huh. Seriously? The law is now "the rules?"

In the view of most of the US military, the one that endangered the entire country and the lives of US military members so that she could avoid having to disclose all of her emails under the FOIA law, was pretty bad. I don't think that I'm qualified to say which is worse, but as a former member of the US military...
