NY attorney general launches Trump Foundation inquiry

Just for you I spent 10 seconds and got:
Donald Trump's Campaign Has Spent Over $6 Million at Trump Companies

and,
"Trump’s campaign didn’t respond to detailed questions about the intermingling of his businesses and campaign."
Trump’s campaign spends millions of its money on Trump companies | New York Post

Okay, I get it now. This is more of the "self funded but not illegal that he pay his own companies out of his campaign that he self funded" garbage. I was looking for something valid. I found this stuff already. You spent 10 seconds finding crap.

More of the "he is paying himself with his own money to get rich". He funded his campaign with 50 mil from his own pocket.
Most predicted this would be the nastiest campaign ever seen. So far it has lived up to billing.

Hillary better be careful. If people start to suspect that she has minions within the government doing her bidding to hurt her opponent the perception of her that millions of people hold that she is corrupt will grow exponentially. She appears to be on VERY thin ice with this one.

Thanks. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

At first I was going to disagree with you but I think you are right.

I did. It helped me understand what direction the investigation was pointed. I didn't realize it was old news stuff. Thanks.
 
I wonder if $25,000 can make this one go away?

If the worst that could be unearthed was $ 25.000 he is an angel. That's nothing in operations of the size and would sound more like a bookkeeping error than anything else.
 
You mean other than being busted for using his "charity" to funnel money to political campaigns?

Proof?

Soros does the same thing. etc ... so where is their investigation?
ol yea the AG of NY is a liberal hack.

It's not a large "charitable" foundation. It only disbursed $913,075 that year including the $25,000 bribe and $50,000 to a conservative political lobbying organization.

Nothing illegal there.
 
Sure there is. It's why Trump paid a fine to the IRS and why the NY AG is investigating whether it also violated State law.

Donating money from a foundation isn't illegal.

It is when you represent your organization to the tax authority as a charity but disperse donations and grant money to political candidates and lobbyists.

No it isn't. That's what foundations do. The law doesn't forbid charities to donate to political activities.

It forbids lying on your 909s which is exactly what Trump did in both cases.
 
Other than his $2,500 fine for lying on his 909?

The NY AG doesn't have the authority to police IRS regulations. If Mr. Trump's foundation has already paid a fine, then he can no longer be punished. It's called, "double jeopardy". You can find it in The Constitution.

He has the authority to enforce the statutes of his State and investigate Trump's compliance with those statutes.

Give us an example and the 909 is a federal form.

Then what is being investigated if he already paid a fine? It seems the NY AG didn't bother to explain what he was investigating.

Everything is large compared to something chosen for being suitably small. I was thinking about the total funds Trump management is coordinating. Don't get me wrong, I am not an admirer of Trump. But this is peanuts that is probably a misunderstanding but is being utilized to do harm among the flock of which those trying to do harm assume do not understand anyway, but can be riled easily.
