Honestly this being shut down isnt enough. there needs to be criminal charges on all these folks involved. this is egregious.
Oh look at that, what would be a humiliating administration-defining scandal that won't even be the 5th worst thing to come out about Trump today. And this is by design, folks. He announced this info to sneak it in right before Flynn gets sentenced and (I think) makes his allocution in open court so it gets buried in the news cycle. This means Trump thinks whatever is coming out right now will be really really bad. Like with schools announced violations on the day after Penn State broke.
that was shuttered unrelated to the mueller probe tho, right
President Trump has agreed to shut down his embattled personal charity and give away its remaining funds amid allegations that he used it for his personal and political benefit, the New York attorney general announced Tuesday.
New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood announced that the Donald J. Trump Foundation is dissolving as her office pursues its lawsuit against the charity, Trump and his three eldest children.
The attorney general's suit, filed in June, alleged "persistently illegal conduct" at the charity and sought to have the foundation shut down. Underwood is continuing to seek more than $2.8 million in restitution and has asked a judge to ban the Trumps temporarily from serving on the boards of other New York nonprofits.
Underwood said Tuesday that her investigation found "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 is an important victory for the rule of law, making clear that there is one set of rules for everyone," she added in a statement.
The shuttering of Trump's charity comes after The Washington Post documented a series of apparent lapses at the foundation. Trump used the charity's funds pay off legal settlements for his private business, to purchase art that decorated one of his clubs and to make a prohibited political donation.
Corrupt as fuck.
Which they payed the 25 Million dollar settlement from money the funneled from the inauguration fund another crime.
But what about the CROOKED and ILLEGAL (collusion?) Clinton Foundation? Why were the offices not raided and why are the 17 Angry Democrats (sad!) stealing Money from the American Citizens?
I'm not sure, but I think this is also unrelated to the Mueller probe. Mueller is a tiny fraction of the open investigations going on right now about Trump.
Trump tried to halt the law suit yesterday and this decision today pretty much tells you its been denied. They are gonna be broke soon and will never be able to scam a loan anymore because remember they already pinched they favorite foreign bank.
It was a scam because it's Trump. Closing it just removes its operations from further scrutiny and mitigates time spent in the news cycle.
maybe unrelated to russia, but i bet this is something Mueller's team forwarded to SDNY
This was my immediate suspicion upon reading the headline; they already got caught by some investigators but they want to shutter and liquidate the offices before anyone else kicks the door in.
This isn't the Mueller probe or SDNY. It's the NY State attorney general's office. Not federal.
This is unrelated to the Mueller probe as well, this started with a reporter digging into the charity.
