"It had to be political in my mind because Donald Trump was treated differently than any other similarly situated scam artist in the 16 years I was at the consumer protection office," said Owens, who lives in Houston.

Yep, but that won't happen until after the election thanks to the "biased" judge.

Yeah, what about the Clinton Foundation? Lots of right-wing innuendo but nothing illegal found, not so for Trump. Bribery is illegal.

And it's not just the illegal contribution--he followed up with a fundraiser at Maralago.

Bribery investigation should be forthcoming, and I hope it is initiated in Florida. I urge all Floridians to contact their congressional and state representatives to call for an investigation.

There are current laws in place that allow anyone(even the public) to request/get Pam Bondie's work emails as long as they meet the criteria to be released(privacy of current investigations and court cases, etc). She is the Florida Attorney General.

Here's an example request form for Freedom of Information Act.

Although it's highly likely these discussions were verbal so they wouldn't be caught.

I think the Florida governor previously added delay tactics to releasing documents by placing large admin fees and long wait times on the requests.

Posted earlier. Bet there were a lot of Trump bribes to get states to drop Trump U suits/investigations.

You dems better milk this non-story all you can, because Hillary is having a bad week with her third coughing fit, and having congress referring her to the FBI for for yet another criminal investigation.

I've lost count, how many criminal investigations is Hillary facing right now?
