Well, this is a shock.

Who would have thought a Trump associate would steal from his own charity?

Jay Sekulow, the lawyer who repeatedly insisted that President Donald Trump was not personally under investigation, may soon find himself under investigation after it was reported that his Christian nonprofit allegedly steered tens of millions of dollars to himself, family members and their businesses.

The Guardian reported this week that Eric Schneiderman, the attorney general of New York, said his office would begin examining "the operations of Jay Sekulow’s group Christian Advocates Serving Evangelism (Case)."

The attorney general of North Carolina is also investigating allegations Sekulow steered $60 million in charitable donations to his family members. "The reports I’ve read are troubling. My office is looking into this matter," Josh Stein, the attorney general of North Carolina said in a statement. Amy Spitalnick, a spokeswoman for Schneiderman added in an emailed statement to the Guardian, "We’re reviewing their filings."

On Tuesday the paper reported on filings that show that since 2000, Sekulow's group "paid more than $60m in compensation and contracts to Sekulow, his relatives and companies where they hold senior roles." The Guardian elaborated:

Nonprofits are forbidden by law from giving excess benefits to the people responsible for running them. Case’s board is dominated by Sekulow and his family. The group is registered with state authorities to operate and raise funds in 39 states plus Washington DC, according to its last available IRS filing. It is closely entwined with American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), another Sekulow nonprofit.

3. This is from 2017. He's still a crook, though.

4. Yep, the infuriating thing is that this should be mentioned every time the media refers to him

but it almost never is.

5. Of course he was a ringleader for smears and accusations against Clinton Foundation

while the Clinton Foundation never paid any compensation to Clinton family members and no wrongdoing was found

6. Seriously, lock all of them up.

Not kidding or being vindictive. They're all criminals and they all need to be locked up.

7. ALL these fucking repukes are corrupt

and the more "Christian" they are, the MORE CORRUPT THEY ARE

8. Christian Advocates Serving Evangelism, Hmmm.

Matthew 19:21
The words of Jesus.

King James Bible
Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

11. He also said this:

"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?"

-- Matthew 7: 15-16

These "Christians" and "Evangelicals" who carry the water for Republicans may talk a great game,
but their actions speak of their inward corruption.

12. I love to point out the Red Letter Bible

to those that say they are Christian. All of their loop holes come from the OT and Paul.

10. I wish this stuff was still funny.
