Nobody Understands Political Corruption Like Donald Trump Does

On Monday, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi endorsed Donald Trump for president. In 2013, Bondi’s office declined to investigate Trump University after Trump donated $25,000 to her re-election effort. “I know the system far better than anybody else and I know the system is broken,” Trump said last week.

“Donald and I have been friends for many years,” Bondi said Monday, praising Trump’s qualities as a family man. Whether anyone can be friends with Donald Trump is probably an open question, but it is certainly true that the pair are friendly. The Miami Herald recalls:

In the fall of 2013, Bondi was preparing for a re-election bid and a for-profit college called Trump University had just been sued by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. The lawsuit alleged that Trump University had “scammed” more than 5,000 people out of more than $40 million by falsely promising to teach them the tools to Trump’s real estate success.

With media scrutiny mounting, the Donald J. Trump Foundation that September contributed $25,000 to And Justice for All, a political committee controlled by Bondi.

Florida never followed New York’s lead. Although there were complaints in Florida, the state never opened an investigation.



Those of us in Florida know how corrupt this Pam Bondi is. The fact that she endorses Drumpf seals her corruptness. Kind of funny that he likes PACs when it suits his needs. This Trump University scam is just the tip of the iceberg for this charlatan.
