Trump Foundation: Molehills to Mountains
New York AG plays partisan politics by ordering Trump to cease raising money.
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman ordered Donald Trump and the Trump Foundation to cease raising money in the state of New York. Schneiderman justified his cease-and-desist order arguing that a paperwork technicality madeTrump’s foundation a “fraud upon the people of the state of New York.” But the AG himself is nothing more than a Hillary Clinton surrogate — he has endorsed her and sits on the “leadership council” for her campaign in the Empire State.
The partisanship doesn’t stop with Schneiderman’s attack on Trump. He’s turned a blind eye toward Clinton’s own foundation indiscretions. According to New York law, every non-profit organization must disclose any foreign donors and the amount of those donations, something which the Clinton Foundation has failed to comply with for years. It would appear that Schneiderman’s commitment to protect the people of New York from “fraud and abuse” is applied to only those conservative organizations with whom he disagrees.
Meanwhile, Trump on Monday responded to revelations of his tax records by pointing to his business record and charging that Clinton had nothing to offer in the way of creating jobs. He said, “While I made my money as a very successful private businessman following the law all the way, Hillary Clinton made her money as a corrupt public official breaking the law and putting her government office up for sale. And now she’s running for president.” Indeed, Clinton’s campaign has nothing to offer in real substantive proposals supporting economic growth, therefore she and her leftist buddies promote spurious accusations against Trump seeking to deflect attention away from her own record of malfeasance. The Leftmedia are vigorously seeking to make mountains out of Trump’s tax molehills while at the same time ignoring the Mount Everest of Hillary’s multiple scandals.
