Undisclosed deal guaranteed Roy Moore $180,000 a year for part-time work at charity

Former Alabama judge Roy Moore, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, once said publicly that he did not take a “regular salary” from the small charity he founded to promote Christian values because he did not want to be a financial burden.

But privately, Moore had arranged to receive a salary of $180,000 a year for part-time work at the Foundation for Moral Law, internal charity documents show. He collected more than $1 million as president from 2007 to 2012, compensation that far surpassed what the group disclosed in its public tax filings most of those years.

When the charity couldn’t afford the full amount, Moore in 2012 was given a promissory note for back pay eventually worth $540,000 or an equal stake of the charity’s most valuable asset, a historic building in Montgomery, Ala., mortgage records show. He holds that note even now, a charity official said.

This is a slush fund for him. He set up a charity and pays himself a salary with non taxable donations.

It should be noted that this is exactly what they unfairly accused Hillary of doing.

If I understand correctly, there are discrepancies between the charity tax filings and what he earned. That means there are at least three paper trails; 4013C filings, W2 filings and Moore's taxes. If I read correctly, at least two (if not all three) of those are documents are in disagreement. I don't know how this wouldn't be trouble.
