Well, they should investigate the Trump Foundation campaign contributions in Texas during that period and see if there are further 'coincidences' like Pam Bondi's.

I've lost count, how many criminal investigations is Hillary facing right now?
Admitting to breaking the law, by paying a fine, is a non-story? Bribery is a non-story?

What would be a real-story, Trump shooting someone on 5th Ave.?

It's not just Trump either.

We've had to put up with bozo Rick Scott's idiot 'protege' Pam Bondi for years. She is a total b*tch. Just like Trump and Scott--cares about nobody but herself. She's obnoxious. I cannot believe she had the nerve to say Hillary was bullying her. Pam Bondi is one of the biggest bullies around. Investigate!

The problem is that there is no evidence of bribery. If anything, it could be extortion by the AG, like the New York AG tried against Trump before Trump reported the extortion.

However, if there is no "fire" with Hillary and the Clinton Foundation where there is 100 times more evidence of wrongdoing, this one tax filing mistake by the Tromp Foundation surely is a non-story.

Lets not forget that the Clinton Foundation had to refile 5-6 years of tax returns because they were hiding money.

You dems can't dismiss literally dozens of instances of overt bribery/pay for play with the Clintons, and then claim Trump is guilty of any wrongdoing over a filing mistake. Honestly, you can't do that, and have anybody take you seriously.

* multiple consumer complaints were filed with the florida AG office against "trump u".

* bondi told the press they were considering joining the investigation into "trump U".

* bondi and trump talk and a $25,000 donation is made to bondi's campaign ( illegally thru trump's charity ).

* bondi decides not to join the investigation.

i'd say those warrant further investigation.

then that too should be investigated. but since trump threw bondi a fundraiser after the donation that theory is highly unlikely.

It's getting bigger.

Instead, Trump's foundation listed a donation — also for $25,000 — to a Kansas charity with a name similar to that of Bondi's political group. In fact, Trump's foundation had not given the Kansas group any money.

The prohibited gift was, in effect, replaced with an innocent-sounding but nonexistent donation."

and

"[ Jeffrey McConney — senior vice president and controller at the Trump Organization ] blamed a series of mistakes, all of them unintentional. McConney said there had been no attempt to deceive."

so to recap this story so far:

* FL AG office receives multiple complaints about "trump university" and consider investigating.

* trump donates $25,000 to FL AG pam bondi's campaign illegally thru his charity.

* bondi decides not to investigate "trump university".

* trump organization falsely reports to the IRS the donation not going to bondi.


i think we'll be hearing more on this story.

If there is any merit to your OP, which there is not. Clintons Issues far exceed what Trump is perceived to done. This is amateur hour compared to the Email and the Clinton Foundations. Plus all of the foreign donors who donated to Clinton which has ended in her Campaign.

It is all a play for the independents with enough excitement to get out of the house on voting day.
Hillary lost 1/2 the Democrat base, when the Bern was burned. Same thing happened to Romney when Ron Paul was burned.
