The other problem with the loan is that it came from Goldman Sachs where his wife at the time was a vice president for. The reason you report it to the FEC, along with copies of its terms, what it will be used for, etc., is to prove that there was no untoward arrangements made with whoever is giving you the loan.
That’s true.
There may be nothing at all to the loan. But he didn’t disclose and the FEC couldn’t look through it.
If this was HIllary or Bernie people here would question it.
You can’t give a person a pass just because you like them.
