Rep. Maxine Waters wants to investigate Trump Foundation (What about Hillary?)
Politico ^ | 2/28/19 | ZACHARY WARMBRODT, HEATHER CAYGLE

Rep. Maxine Waters, who is leading a probe into President Donald Trump's finances, wants Trump's nonprofit foundation to be the Democrats' next target because of tax evasion concerns.

The House Financial Services Committee chairwoman hinted to reporters on Thursday that she may even have a lead in the form of a letter "from somebody who told me about a situation that they want to talk with me more about.”

Trump agreed to shut down his personal charity in December following a lawsuit brought by the New York attorney general that alleged the president and his children used the foundation for their personal and political benefit.

“I think that’s an area that should be looked at because I think the foundation has been used by him to avoid paying taxes," the California Democrat said.

Waters, who has called for Trump's impeachment, was circumspect about whether she would summon anyone to testify following Cohen's comments. “No, no, no," she said. "I don’t want to preempt my staff on that.”

Just how many hobbies does Mad Maxine have?

"...the foundation has been used by him to avoid paying taxes..."

At least he wasn't evading taxes.

Good luck. That’s what “family foundations” by very rich people are for. Do a little good, not give everything to the government.

How about we investigate Maxine, who has mysteriously become super rich while in Congress? Like all the rest. AOC will probably join the millionaires club soon as well.

Conversely, in the void of investigations into the Clintons foundation, it shows a handful of things, mainly 1) how spineless the republicans are and 2) how complicit that Mueller is 3 the breath and depth of the Clinton criminality is and their propensity to sell out America.

So, any idiot DEMOCRAT can call for an investigation of Trump..

Funny how I hear NONE of the Republicans ever calling for Clinton investigation- even though their crimes are public knowledge.

And they wonder why people don’t trust our government or have much faith in the rule of law anymore..

“AOC will probably join the millionaires club soon as well.”

That should not be allowed to happen. If she earns it, in the private sector, in a way that doesn’t amount to influence peddling, then fine. Otherwise, we should all keep a very, very close eye on every dime she receives and spends.

Too many Democrats hate Trump and us much, much more than they care about their country.

The word hypocrite is rooted in the Greek word hypokrites, which means “stage actor, pretender, dissembler.”So think of a hypocrite as a person who pretends to be a certain way, but really acts and believes the total opposite.

The ancient Greeks knew them for what they were.
So do we.

“I think that’s an area that should be looked at because I think the foundation has been used by him to avoid paying taxes,"...

Well, duuh...If there were not tax advantages there wouldn't BE any "foundations" other than the truly charitable, like Chick-fil-A maybe. But the Clinton Foundation is set up to hide illegal income, nothing more.

I think Marxine should be investigated to determine how she can afford a multi-million dollar mansion on $174K per year.

Mad Max has very selective vision and outrages. It does no valid good to scold her, she cannot see what she will not, and the preconceived notions are so firmly embedded that nothing short of a lobotomy will even begin to dislodge these beliefs.

But it might slow down the crazy eyes and the endless pronouncements of “Impeach 45!”

Tourette’s syndrome goes down to a pretty basic level, though.

This is bothering me. What is the scope of congressional oversite? Is it to keep an eye on the executive branch and hold them accountable or to investigate the non political lives and activities of private citizens?

It is a mystery to me why so many politicians and pundits are suddenly committing career and party suicide. I suppose it’s because there has been a failure to recognize that they’ve been living in and promoting a fantasy world. In the meantime, the president has called their bluff, exposed the cant, and forced them into chaos and ruinous policies.

The failure of the Weekly Standard and the decline of the National Review have exposed the not-conservative Trump haters as unpragmatic, unrealistic snobs. They are now shaking the begging cup to keep from having to earn an honest living. In the face of the president’s rising popularity among voters and the economic and diplomatic successes of this administration, they continue to believe that on the right there are readers and donors who will keep them at it...

Fat chance. The man they detest is carrying out policies they so often claimed to support, and the voters — most of whom they look down on — approve...

The voters hold these views, despite the media’s nonstop lying. Voters are just not as stupid as the media thinks we are.
