If you or I were to receive forbidden money, would it make it all hunky-dory if we turned around and gave it to charity?

I'm hardly shocked at the dirty linen in the Party Of The President Felon. I would be stunned if there wasn't any to be found.

But aren't there federal matching funds as well? What charity is receiving those?

Good point, leading to the question: Is this a fancy-smancy money laundering operation?

The NYPost may fall for false stories planted by unscrupulous Democrats, but they sure can write headlines!
