It is so good of Trump to show us how it is done. He even writes and brags about it in his book. Reporters are finally looking at what he says and writes and coming to the conclusion that much of it is simply illegal.

Summary of this one:


"Trump gave at least $45,000 to the campaign of Alan Hevesi, a New York state comptroller who later went to prison for his role in a pay-to-play bribery scandal"

Trump didn't go to prison.

Instead he turned this investment into $97,000,000 in tax savings which Hevesi helped approve.

It is high time we stop having critical members of government that decide whether to prosecute, as is case of Pam Bondi, or impose taxes, as is the case of Hevesi run for office and accept donations from people they will decide upon.

Then there's Trump Family Donated to D.C. Politicians Who Helped Pave Way for Trump Hotel - The Daily Beast

While Clinton has endured decades of scrutiny, it has just gotten underway on Trump. I suspect we will be treated to a steady diet of revelations over the next few weeks.

You have to wonder how much his supporters can blame on "accounting errors" before they have to grudgingly admit he's a con man involved in illegal activities.

Ironic the way he keeps accusing Clinton of things that he is guilty of. Bribery, encouraging illegal immigrants...

Are you trying to say this never happened? That's cognitive dissonance.

But, if you want news articles, Take your pick

What we are learning is that the guy who attacks Mrs. Clinton as "Crooked Hillary," is far dirtier and crooked than anyone running for president in modern history.

As I've posted elsewhere, let's look at the opinions of Trumpettes.

Interviewer: What do you think of Trump making his clothing line in other countries to utilize cheap labor?

Trumpette: That's a good business decision!

Interviewer: What do you think of Ford making cars in Mexico to utilize cheap labor?

Trumpette: That's Un-American!

As is the norm, hypocrisiy runs frampant on the right.

As we turn over more rocks in the Trump empire, we find more and more fraud, corruption and dirty business deals. This is exactly why Trump won't release his taxes.

Trump is the most dishonest and least ethical candidate to run for office. He is a very persuasive salesman and unfortunately a lot of people are falling for his snake oil campaign. The man is lying scam artist and must be kept out of office.
