827 Floridians joined NY's case against Trump U because Pam Bondi, FL attorney general,

[pnwmom]

said she found no case worth pursuing in her state. She said that AFTER her office said they were investigating Trump University and BEFORE her campaign received $25K from the Donald J. Trump Foundation.

This is an article by the Florida reporter who's been investigating and reporting on this story since 2013.

Imagine you were robbed and the prosecutor gave the suspect a pass after taking $25,000 from him.

This week, I looked at the records in the New York case and found complaints from several Floridians. A North Lauderdale man said he spent $8,750 and never got a promised mentor. A Miami resident said she lost "more than $40,000" paying for services that weren't provided. A Hollywood man said he quickly determined the seminars were "a complete scam" and was denied his "satisfaction guarantee" refund (a key detail in all this).

SNIP

Earlier this year, I filed a public-records request, asking for any documentation that might prove Bondi's office conducted any hard-hitting investigating.

They responded with 8,491 pages of documents — a records dump that seemed like an attempt to cover up a lack of investigation with an avalanche of paperwork.

Still, I went through it. And while I found plenty of largely meaningless papers — including 39 copies of a single email I sent the office three years earlier — there was scant evidence of office investigators actually vetting the complaints, interviewing witnesses or ferreting out the validity of the complaints.

In one instance, Bondi's office told a man who said he lost $26,000 that he might be better off surfing the Internet. "I encourage you to visit an Internet search engine such as http://www.yahoo.com or http://www.google.com to search for information on any class action lawsuits you may benefit from," wrote one Bondi staffer.

1. Rec Rec Rec

Rec Rec!!!!

[Wellstone ruled]

2. Oh how sweet it is.

[oasis]

3. I wish I could get on the jury. I promise to be open minded.

[lewebley3]

25. Bondi should be investigated by the Justice Department:and there should be hearings

[Hortensis]

35. Agree, she needs to be investigated.

I'd never have had any sympathy for her anyway, but that attempt to slime Hillary for her problems sounded as practiced and hostile as any of the professional anti-Clinton hatemongers.

[lewebley3]

41. She has dropped other cases after she has been given money!

[Hortensis]

42. If any can be proven...!

[BlueCollar]

4. I think a call for congressional hearings....

Is in order at both Senate and House level.

Bribery, RICO.....,

Mr. Cummings. ...this is your opportunity...don't blow it

[meow2u3]

5. I'd call for a Federal criminal investigation

RICO, bribery, obstruction of justice, etc.

[uponit7771]

7. +1

[lewebley3]

26. You are correct Meow: Also the their should be hearings on Trumps money with Russia:

the CIA should demand Trumps taxes.

[meow2u3]

27. He should be tried for either treason or other subversive activity

Cozying up to Putin? Check.
Fawning all over Kim Jung Un and other dictators? Check.
Joined at the hip to just about every white supremacist and neo-Nazi hate group who advocate the violent overthrow of our government? Check.

The Apricot Asshole is a clear and present danger to American constitutional democracy.

[lewebley3]

29. The CIA should demand all financial papers concerning Trump including Taxes

[tavernier]

6. She was on tv today denying it.

Methinks it's getting close to the bone now.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

8. Too many Americans are gullible. It frightens me.

Shouldn't Hillary be promoting her platform? When Obama was attacked in 08 he could retort with a speech and seduce crowds with his golden tongue and inspirational words. She needs to create a place with words where we want to be. That way she may also help win the Senate. It takes a village, doesn't it?

[tblue37]

10. The networks play Trump's rallies and town halls live, while relegating Hillary's speeches to a tiny

in the corner as he does so. She gives speeches promoting her platform--the MSM just don't bother to cover them.

All three cable networks air Trump’s town hall live while showing Clinton’s rally in a tiny box

[SleeplessinSoCal]

14. Methinks Plan B "Trump Media" is only insurance for winning.

[NewJeffCT]

19. Hillary has been promoting her ideas and policies

but, it's getting 0 coverage in the media - it's all Trump, all the time.

In 2008, Obama got a good amount of media coverage because he was a novelty and McCain was far less media savvy than Trump

[Shrike47]

9. The whole article is well worth reading.

[pnwmom]

11. Yes, it is! n/t

[Coyotl]

12. The Rs are stuck with a criminal nominee. Trump is likely going to jail over the Bondi bribery.

Plus, he filed a false IRS report. He's toast.
Can't wait for Hillary to question him about his crimes!

[anamandujano]

23. Orange is the new orange.

39. Excellent. Doesn't look enough like Trump for everyone to get it though.

Looks like a half lemon helmet on his head instead of a captured furry animal from an alien world.

[ffr]

13. I take that to mean your bound to get burned by Trump

But we knew that already didn't we. He's corrupt as the day is long.

[brer cat]

15. K&R nt

17. It looks like media in Florida are not going to let this go

That is good news. It makes it harder for national media to move on, and of course it makes it harder for Trump to win in Florida, and if he can't win Florida he is pretty much sunk.

[bettyellen]

18. It's racketeering, and it's going to be huge!

[Coyotl]

40. It is already huge, and they aren't yet focusing on the Texas angle with more evidence.

In TX, we had someone getting orders to shut down the investigation after Trump paid off now Gov. Abbott. Bigger heads will roll in Texas, where we have the governor in on the corruption.

[Bobcat]

20. There's More

Trump says he's never spoken to her.......

38. Nice. Very nice.

[UCmeNdc]

21. Put Trump and Bondi under oath!

[Lunabell]

22. The State won't do it.

The Feds need to get involved.

[Maru Kitteh]

24. Might she be brought up on charges?

[riversedge]

28. Orlando Sentinel: New records show Att Gen Bondi needs probing in @realDonaldTrump mess, Maxwell sa

Tweet for the article. Glad to see it is getting local Florida coverage

[catbyte]

30. Wow, and all the media can talk about is the Clinton Foundation. Assholes.

[DonCoquixote]

31. as someone in Florida, that "swing state"

the one whose governor runs Trump's superpac, I do hope this gets more focus. Despite the fiasco of a governor's race run by DWS, Scott is VERY unpopular among democrats down here, so the more stink, the better. It is not like there was already not a LOT of Ammo, from algae blooms to mandatory drug tests.

[pnwmom]

32. Good point. The more publicity about this in Florida, the better. n/t

[GusBob]

33. Just heard Scott Mawell on the radio and he had important point

He started investigating this in 2013 way before this election

PAM BONDI CANNOT CLAIM THIS IS CLINTON ATTACK POLITICS

She will end up on Trump TV

[pnwmom]

34. And the NY Attorney General started his lawsuit in 2013 -- so that also predates the election. n/t

[GusBob]

36. I guess Ms BONDI was on TV today saying HRC was behind this?

Scott Maxwell ain't gonna let that stand, he has been investigating this before there were nominees.

He has been investigating BONDI on other things too, there was some shenanigans with hiring and firing of Gov Scott of folks he didn't like.

She is power hungry, wants to be on Trump cabinet post, senator or Govenor.

[pnwmom]

37. Yeah, Hillary is such a bully.
