Trump charity gave $100,000 to David Bossie’s Citizens United that helped fund lawsuit against mogul’s foe

Donald Trump’s charitable foundation gave $100,000 in 2014 to a conservative activist group that was used to help finance a federal lawsuit against New York state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman — the same public official who was suing the real estate mogul for fraud over the operations of Trump University.

The size and timing of the donation to the Citizens United Foundation, an arm of the sprawling conservative network run by David Bossie, who is now Trump’s deputy campaign manager, could raise fresh questions about whether Trump has used his tax-exempt charity to further political and personal causes.

It is a claim, actively promoted by Hillary Clinton’s campaign, that got new attention this week after Trump’s foundation acknowledged paying a penalty to the IRS for an improper $25,000 donation to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi’s reelection campaign during a time her office was considering whether to join Schneiderman’s lawsuit against Trump University.

A review of tax returns filed by the Trump Foundation shows that the 2014 donation to Bossie’s Citizens United Foundation was by far the largest it gave to any organization that year, substantially exceeding its contributions to more traditional charities, such as the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (which got $50,000), the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute ($25,000) and the Police Athletic League ($25,000).

1. More quid pro quo?

FFS! Where are the investigations FOR CRIMINAL WRONG DOING!

LOCK THEM UP!

LOCK THEM UP!

LOCK THEM UP!

LOCK THEM UP!

LOCK THEM UP!

LOCK THEM UP!

LOCK THEM UP!

[napkinz]

13. yep!

[Marthe48]

29. Maybe media wants Trump to be president

so they can run scandal after scandal...I have an idea. Hillary Clinton gets elected and the media an still run scandal after scandal. America gets a good president and the media gets their headlines. The way things are, the media would rather cover Trump as entertainer than as politician. And they'd rather not cover HRC at all, except non-stories.

[riversedge]

36. I am going to pouch some of these. Thanks in advance

[muriel_volestrangler]

23. About 60,000 quid, at prevailing exchange rates (nt)

[blm]

2. Trump uses his "Foundation" as a slush fund/hitman payoff vehicle. Not ONE Republican demands

an investigation of those involved, including GOP officeholders?

But they have lots of investigations into Clinton Foundation used to supply medicine and medical care to underserved regions around the world.

Republicans have the darkest hearts and souls of any population on earth, right behind ISIS.

[Fast Walker 52]

18. they are sick sick puppies, who onl care about money and their version of Jesus

[Thinkingabout]

3. "Pay for play", his is Trumps game. Paid access from his foundation. Wonder how much the

Trump longer will the RWers push the Clinton Foundation. It is dead silence.

[wordpix]

4. Drip, drip, drip, don the con is sinking fast

[Fast Walker 52]

19. faster, faster!

[jpak]

5. Lock Him Up

yup

[Iliyah]

6. Honestly, it would not

surprise me if some under the table payments are directed at our so called journalists on corporate media. The in your face ass kissing makes you wonder.

[Botany]

7. Isn't it against the law for charities to give money to political operations?

lock him up!


Trump must really be worried about his Trump University scam being exposed.

[Fast Walker 52]

20. suing and litigation is his modus operandi for all his business scams...

previously it seems like he could keep the lid tamped down with all his lawsuits, but if the press starts doing their job, that pot is going to boil over. I'm sure it's a lot more than just TrumpU.

[wiggs]

25. I really wish that the recording of Trump's attorney threatening journalists would be

played over and over from now till november. Rape allegations. Disgusting threats about disgusting lawsuits. THOSE should be headlines. This is his current lawyer.

http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-lawyer-michael-cohen-wife-ivana-2015-7

Threats to a reporter. I remember there being a recording of even more:

"I will make sure that you and I meet one day while we're in the courthouse. And I will take you for every penny you still don't have. And I will come after your Daily Beast and everybody else that you possibly know," Cohen said. "So I'm warning you, tread very fucking lightly, because what I'm going to do to you is going to be fucking disgusting. You understand me?"

[Fast Walker 52]

27. wow! Michael Cohen is an idiot, I didn't realize he was a total thug too

thanks-- I will spread that

[politicaljunkie41910]

31. My guess based on what the IRS just said about the Bondi contribution is YES YES YES!!!

If it was illegal to donate $25,000 to Bondi's PAC, than it definitely is illegal to donate $100,000 to Bossie's Citizens United. Woo Hoo!!! Keep them coming folks.

[okaawhatever]

32. Yes it is. Not only did they give the money to a political organization, they reported to the IRS

that they gave the money to a similarly named non-profit that he could have legally donated to.

Pam Bondi's PAC: And Justice For All (located in FL)
Anti-Abortion group he claimed to give the money to: Justice For All (Located in MO)

I don't think the political donation crime carries a jail sentence, only a fine, but signing a bogus tax return does.

[Old and In the Way]

8. We really do need a Trump Scandel forum to keep his scandels/scams

Organized for quick referral and rebuttals. Suggest seperate threads with OPs like:
Scandel: Trump U: Pam Biondi -Fl AG
Scandel: Trump Foundation: Citizens United
Scandel: Trump U: Abbott -TX AG
Scandel: Trump stiffs contractors
Scandel: Ties to Russia and potential National Security Implications

This guy is a one man crime syndicate. No wonder he is the GOP's choice to lead them in 2016

12. The Atlantic: The Many Scandals of Donald Trump: A Cheat Sheet

The Republican nominee’s charitable foundation made a large gift to a Florida politician right before she dropped a damaging investigation. But what else has the foundation done?


The breadth of Trump’s controversies is truly yuge, ranging from allegations of mafia ties to unscrupulous business dealings, and from racial discrimination to alleged marital rape. The stretch over more than four decades, from the mid-1970s to the present day. To catalogue the full sweep of allegations would require thousands of words and lump together the trivial with the truly scandalous. Including business deals that have simply failed, without any hint of impropriety, would require thousands more. This is a snapshot of some of the most interesting and largest of those scandals.

so the stories are faster and thicker than the stupid Clinton email stories.

[Fast Walker 52]

28. Good idea, and that's a partial list, of course

9. Trump Charity

[sinkingfeeling]

10. How can it be legal for a charity foundation to give anything to

political candidates or organizations?

[Iliyah]

11. Well duh, T-rump knew the future.

Actually monies were given through the RNC funding that T-rump raised for the sole purpose of supporting down ticket candidates for 2016. T-rump just did it in 2013. Therefore, ain't nothing to see here, move along.
