pretty obvious. But, I guess the media will give him a pass since this is expected of crooked businessmen.

7. Quid-pro-quo pic of the moment would be more fitting

These two are just so cosy looking.

As said in the last link: "I'm not sure what is worse: Donald Trump bragging about paying off politicians, or the cheering by Republican-debate audiences when Donald Trump brags about paying off politicians."

Did Trump have a campaign to charge in March of 2014? Just asking about the timeline?

11. Doesn't matter. Two competing valuations $5K & $140K. The $5K is quid pro quo payoff ($135K saving)

Or if the real valuation for renting the facility is in between, say at $70K, then Trump only made a $65K payoff for dismissing the case and tRump is bilking his donors $70K by over-charging for his own facility, lining his pockets.

tRump's campaign was in full swing this spring when he charged his campaign the $140K.

Either way, Don the Con is fleecing somebody -- taxpayers, voters, Trump U victims, his own donors, or all four groups.

9. 9/17/13 - Bondi technically got the payola, I mean, campaign donation

from Trump's foundation, which he later reimbursed.

Why do trumpettes think there's nothing there when he's already broken the law and fined?

15. AG Bondi should resign, be disbarred and face prosecution

But we know that won't happen: Gov. Snott and the state legislature have her back.

Besides, Snott would probably put someone even worse in her place; and here I'm thinking of Angela Corey who was handily defeated in the FL primary. You may remember Angela: the prosecutor who blew the George Zimmerman trial.

M$M is not interested in asking questions that might embarrass the GOP.
