legend Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Surprised I didn't see this on the main page? Or am I just going blind? https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/07/politics/trump-settlement-trump-foundation-new-york/index.html Quote In her decision, however, the judge didn't impose one of the outcomes the attorney general's office sought: a ban on Trump and his children serving on the board of any other New York nonprofit. She also declined to order Trump to pay punitive damages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 And yet he clearly is above the law, because all he needs to do it pay out from his ill gotten gains and carry on as he always has. On to the next grift! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On to the next grift! Yeah it's soft, but apparently there is also this bit I just read about which is a bit better: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-ordered-to-pay-2-million-to-charities-over-misuse-of-foundation-court-documents-say/2019/11/07/b8f804e2-018e-11ea-9518-1e76abc088b6_story.html Quote The reason: The president had agreed to submit to extra monitoring of any future charitable activities in New York, so that “the conduct which engendered this petition should not occur in the future,” the judge said. If Trump does ever join a charity board — or starts a new charity of his own — the charity must fill a majority of board seats with people who have no relationship to Trump. It also must hire a qualified attorney, submit to audits and agree never to pay Trump or his company for any services. ... “That’s a pretty significant statement about a lack of trust of the president’s capabilities,” Hackney said, given that Trump is — in most other respects — one of the most powerful people on Earth. “It’s truly astounding.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 This is probably why he's so eager to claim Stormy's settlement money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarSolo Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Yeah, if I’m not mistaken, isn’t that whole fundraiser he held for the troops instead of going to the last Republican debate part of this, because he never actually gave the money to them?

osxmatt Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 The fact we live is a world where the President operated a charity, which was effectively a slush fund, and it hardly makes a blip is amazing. Sad, and amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad, and amazing. If only they found this in his buttery emails THEN you might see a blip. For now it’s just par for the course on a typical Trump Day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
