This thread has nothing to do with "birtherism".. So your excuse is about as believable as clinton having pneumonia

I dont see anyone claiming the actions of Trump were acceptable. Not even the Trump, who admitted wrongdoing by taking responsibility for their actions and sending money to the IRS.

The Clinton Foundation is relevant because there is 100 times more evidence of wrongdoing, but you dems outright dismiss it.

If you can dismiss all the evidence against the Clinton Foundation, then surely one simple filing mistake by the Trump Foundation is a non-story.

Using your own standard, there is no there, there, and the thread is over.

that was simply for illegally donating from a non-profit to a political cause. it doesn't address the allegation of bribery.

Again, this isn't about a "filing mistake", this is about committing bribery. A specific case of bribery, by trump and bondi. So, yeah, there is indeed a there, there.

Non profits donate for political causes all the time. Planned Parenthood is a prime example.

Just because one is a non profit, this doesnt restrict ones right to free speech, even if you claim it should.

You claiming there is a there, there, doesnt make it so, just like Republicans claiming there is a "there" with the Clinton Foundation.

one cant dismiss one, while making excuses for the other, especially if the other is 1000 times worse.

The problem is that there is no evidence of bribery.

There was one simple filing mistake, that's it.

You can't say Trump committed bribery without any evidence, then say the Clintons are innocent, and expect anyone to take you seriously.

As I've said, there is 100 times more evidence of wrongdoing by the Clintons, do you believe they committed public corruption?

You are going to have to admit that the Clintons are guilty of dozens of counts of public corruption before anyone is going to believe a word you have to say about Trump.

Again, this isn't about the clintons. I haven't said anything either way about the clintons, so you can stop saying I have to 'admit' anything about the clintons. Time will tell regarding trump and bondi, and you may well be correct that he didn't won't be found guilty of wrongdoing... but, I wouldn't hold my breath on that.
