Libtardian Hypocrisy Passes Clinton Crime Foundation...Aims at Trump Foundation!

HEIGHT OF PROGRESSIVE HYPOCRISY: NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL IGNORES CROOKED CLINTON FOUNDATION TO SUE TRUMP FOUNDATION In what universe would an unbiased New York State Attorney General ignore a billion-dollar scam foundation whose employees seemed to serve dual purposes with both the Hillary Clinton campaign and which received multi-million dollar donations from Russians, Middle Eastern countries and others that appeared to have some some connection with the favorable actions and influence of the Hillary Clinton State Department? And go on to sue what amounts to a penny-ante foundation as well as to send referral letters to the IRS and FEC for further investigation and legal action? The press release … underwood header News from the New York Attorney General's Office FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 14, 2018 Attorney General’s Press Office / 212-416-8060 nyag.pressoffice@ag.ny.gov ATTORNEY GENERAL UNDERWOOD ANNOUNCES LAWSUIT AGAINST DONALD J. TRUMP FOUNDATION AND ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR EXTENSIVE AND PERSISTENT VIOLATIONS OF STATE AND FEDERAL LAW Lawsuit Seeks Restitution of $2.8 Million Plus Penalties AG’s Office Sends Referral Letters to Internal Revenue Service and Federal Election Commission for Further Investigation and Legal Action In Light Of Misconduct And Total Lack of Oversight, Lawsuit Seeks To Dissolve Donald J. Trump Foundation and Bar Donald J. Trump And Members Of Trump Foundation’s Board Of Directors From Serving On Board Of Any Other New York Charity NEW YORK - Attorney General Barbara D. Underwood today announced a lawsuit against the Donald J. Trump Foundation, and its directors, Donald J. Trump (“Mr. Trump”), Donald J. Trump, Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump. The petition filed today alleges a pattern of persistent illegal conduct, occurring over more than a decade, that includes extensive unlawful political coordination with the Trump presidential campaign, repeated and willful self-dealing transactions to benefit Mr. Trump’s personal and business interests, and violations of basic legal obligations for non-profit foundations. [OCS: If this illegal conduct occurred for more than a decade, why would they choose to file a lawsuit now? And isn’t this lawsuit an outgrowth of the work of the previous New York Attorney General, the pervert Eric Schneiderman who was rabidly anti-Trump – possibly following Trump’s refusal to donate to his campaign?] The Attorney General initiated a special proceeding to dissolve the Trump Foundation under court supervision and obtain restitution of $2.8 million and additional penalties. The AG’s lawsuit also seeks a ban from future service as a director of a New York not-for-profit of 10 years for Mr. Trump and one year for each of the Foundation’s other board members, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump. The Attorney General also sent referral letters today to the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Election Commission, identifying possible violations of federal law for further investigation and legal action by those federal agencies. As alleged in the petition, Mr. Trump used the Trump Foundation’s charitable assets to pay off his legal obligations, to promote Trump hotels and other businesses, and to purchase personal items. In addition, at Mr. Trump’s behest, the Trump Foundation illegally provided extensive support to his 2016 presidential campaign by using the Trump Foundation’s name and funds it raised from the public to promote his campaign for presidency, including in the days before the Iowa nominating caucuses. “As our investigation reveals, the Trump Foundation was little more than a checkbook for payments from Mr. Trump or his businesses to nonprofits, regardless of their purpose or legality,” said Attorney General Underwood. “This is not how private foundations should function and my office intends to hold the Foundation and its directors accountable for its misuse of charitable assets.” The Attorney General’s investigation found that Trump Foundation raised in excess of $2.8 million in a manner designed to influence the 2016 presidential election at the direction and under the control of senior leadership of the Trump presidential campaign. The Foundation raised the funds from the public at the nationally televised fundraiser Mr. Trump held in lieu of participating in the presidential primary debate in Des Moines, Iowa, on January 28, 2016. In violation of state and federal law, senior Trump campaign staff, including Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski, dictated the timing, amounts, and recipients of grants by the Foundation to non-profits, as evidenced by communications between Campaign staff and Foundation representatives.

Trump Foundation And Its Board Of Directors For Extensive And Persistent Violations Of State And Federal Law | New York State Attorney General Who really should be investigated … clintoncrimeBottom line … Perhaps one can conclude that the New York State Attorney General is as partisan and corrupt as her kinky predecessor who was forced from office for his unusual sexual proclivities. There is no doubt in my mind that she is an elitist and a progressive socialist democrat who is attempting to curry political favor with the likes of Senator Chuck “the Schmuck” Schumer and the other party elites. To ignore the scandal that is the Clinton Foundation in favor of investigating and prosecuting a ten million dollar foundation is outrageous – especially when it appears partisan and ill-timed. While she cannot depose or indict a sitting President, she certainly can go after Trump’s adult children to force him to issue politically-damaging pardons or cloud any chances in the 2020 presidential election. Heaven forbid she would attack Chelsea Clinton whose high-handed behavior alienated top foundation officials.

Unfortunately, it is just another act in the Kabuki theatre that is the Obama Administration. Nothing to see here, move along, politics as usual … OIG-R1 Reading through the report one is struck by the primary conclusion that this was all a complex foul-up where everybody and nobody did anything that rises to a criminal nature. Even though it is apparent numerous crimes were committed by the principals and their subordinates, everybody appears to get a pass on going to jail. This is the political equivalent of the corporate dance: we will take the reputational hit in the media, we will pay “record” fines, but we neither admit nor deny the allegations – and nobody goes to jail. The fact that James Comey misstated the actual statute law to give Hillary a Clinton a pass seems irrelevant. The fact that Huma Abedin had classified government documents on a private computer seems irrelevant. The fact that actual criminality was masked by procedural errors seems irrelevant. Recommendations Our report makes nine recommendations to the Department and the FBI to assist them in addressing the issues that we identified in this review: We recommend that the Department and the FBI consider developing guidance that identifies the risks associated with and alternatives to permitting a witness to attend a voluntary interview of another witness (including in the witness’s capacity as counsel). We recommend that the Department consider making explicit that, except in situations where the law requires or permits disclosure, an investigating agency cannot publicly announce its recommended charging decision prior to consulting with the Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General, U.S. Attorney, or his or her designee, and cannot proceed without the approval of one of these officials. We recommend that the Department and the FBI consider adopting a policy addressing the appropriateness of Department employees discussing the conduct of uncharged individuals in public statements. We recommend that the Department consider providing guidance to agents and prosecutors concerning the taking of overt investigative steps, indictments, public announcements, or other actions that could impact an election. We recommend that the Office of the Deputy Attorney General take steps to improve the retention and monitoring of text messages Department-wide. We recommend that the FBI add a warning banner to all of the FBI’s mobile phones and devices in order to further notify users that they have no reasonable expectation of privacy. We recommend that the FBI consider (a) assessing whether it has provided adequate training to employees about the proper use of text messages and instant messages, including any related discovery obligations, and (b) providing additional guidance about the allowable uses of FBI devices for any nongovernmental purpose, including guidance about the use of FBI devices for political conversations. We recommend that the FBI consider whether (a) it is appropriately educating employees about both its media contact policy and the Department’s ethics rules pertaining to the acceptance of gifts, and (b) its disciplinary provisions and penalties are sufficient to deter such improper conduct. We recommend that Department ethics officials include the review of campaign donations for possible conflict issues when Department employees or their spouses run for public office. The most important recommendation appears to be missing … We recommend that all guilty parties be prosecuted to the full extent of the law to serve as a preventative warning that political corruption shall not be tolerated in the highest offices of America’s most important intelligence, investigative, prosecutorial, and taxing agencies. Bottom line … As George Orwell famously said,“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." One need only be reminded of the 22-year-old Navy machinist mate who took some pictures aboard a nuclear sub to show his family and friends what he did in the Navy. He pleaded guilty in May to unauthorized retention of defense information and had faced five to six years in prison under federal sentencing guidelines. As is, he was sentenced to a year in prison, six months of home confinement with an ankle monitoring unit, and three-years of supervised release. Someone knowingly copies classified information from secure systems, removed identifying marks, and sent them to Hillary’s private email server or to Abedin’s private stash of documents. Where is the justice? And about all of those charged with lying to investigators in the Manafort investigation, where are the similar charges for those who obviously lied to investigators about the Clinton email scandal? This affair looks like an expensive joke played on the American public when the elites needed to launder the record of one of their own prior to the election and to remove any evidence that would delegitimize her presidency. Unfortunately, a black swan, in the form of Donald Trump, appeared and the elite were forced to engage in a massive cover-up to protect themselves and the tattered reputation of several agencies. We are so screwed. -- steve
