Contact you favorite news network and tell them you want this covered in full

We need media coverage on this damaging story; it is true "pay to play" which squashed an investigation into Trump University and it was an illegal contribution to boot. Contact your favorite cable news channel and provide them with the link below and demand coverage.

Trump buys himself an attorney general for $25,000

it applies to the accusations against hillary, e.g., if she really required donations to the clinton foundation in order to get a meeting with her as secretary of state (which is a demonstrably false allegation) that would in theory be "pay-to-play".

trump's case is simple, straightforward bribery, not of the pay-to-play variety. he got a specific legal result in exchange for cash.

I've been on here for days now encouraging others to do the same. I've been working on feedback to media for weeks now. I want others to participate. Have I done anything?
