Pity one can’t get a criminal conviction for politicians who say they will “reduce crime” or other such, and then fail to do so. (Not that politicians ever knowingly lie, or anything like that.)
Prison? Only if you are NOT one of the (Dem) elite...
yet the Clinton Foundation WALKS free.
he should have hired Comey’s brother to do his taxes.
Next: the Clinton Foundation. But I’m not holding my breath.
The PIAPS should be shaking in her colostomy bag over this
People need to understand that “non-profit” is a tax term. That’s it. It has nothing to do with morality, or volunteerism, or helping your fellow man, etc. It’s a tax term and tax status. And tax statuses come with rules. If you don’t like the rules, don’t apply for the status.
I had a friend that jumped through a ton of hoops to finally get the status. But after working under it for a short time, he abandoned it. It wasn’t worth the government involvement and ongoing requirements.
Tyranny.
Ah, no—using the nonprofit code to redirect the bulk of funds to yourself in salary, while insignificantly contributing to your chosen “cause” is not okay.
Ten years in prison is ridiculously steep and of course we don’t want to compare it to all the Clinton Foundation-type fraud, etc. And the left gets away with this crap all the time while going after the right.
But that still doesn’t make it okay.
I’ll have to look at the facts closely on this one, but I am never comfortable with the idea of having a member of Congress getting paid exorbitant salaries while working for multiple non-profit organizations like this. This arrangement is a perfect opportunity for “legal” bribery.
The whole concept of nonprofits in this country is a pretty smelly business. There is a nonprofit that is attempting to take over maintenance of the city parks here in Pittsburgh. It has a paid staff of 38 and its CEO makes an annual salary of $210K. UPMC claims to be a nonprofit while it holds a virtual monopoly on medical care in this region.
Nonprofit. Riiiiiiiiiiiiggggggggghhhhhhhhhhttt!
What about the Clinton Foundation and all the money they stole from the people of Haiti? Does that fall under the same rules? Now Harry and Megan have set up a CF style foundation that he is president if and she is VP of. This is how they will continue to support their princely lifestyle now that they are no longer receiving any support from the British subjects, living in the Vancouver mansion was th security provided by Canadian subjects facilitated by Trudeau.
Yes there is. This is exactly what "the swamp" is. Maybe he was targeted because he is conservative and that is wrong. But this type of thing is part of the "I scratch your back; you scratch mine" mentality that creates the swamp. Do it at your own peril.
Went to another news article to find out what the “personal items” were that he spent donor money on:
“The scheme the Capitol Hill veteran orchestrated involved funneling charitable contributions between 2010 and 2014 from two megadonors who ran conservative nonprofits and using it to pay for a spy operation targeting a potential GOP rival at the statehouse in Austin, among other illegal and unrelated expenses including dolphin tours and hot air balloon rides.”
Ha Ha Ha says the Clinton Foundation folks who paid for Chelsea’s wedding.
What are the chances that this poor sucker would draw two of the three ClownBammy jesters on the Fifth Circuit for his appeal?
Jolly is an 82-year-old fossil.
