I am so sick of the double standard in the MSM. Trump wants to destroy our country as we know it. Ho-Hum. Hillary sneezes. OMG she's got medical issues that should prevent her from ever doing anything again.

Shut it down. Now.
From the Washington Post, to USA Today, to the Wall Street Journal, and more, thats the mantra regarding the Clinton Foundation, these days.
The argument, as it goes, is that even if there is no impropriety, the Clinton Foundation just looks like a conduit for improper influence over a Clinton presidency.
...
The Trump Organization money would go directly into Donald Trumps familys bank account. Clinton Foundation money has not yet, and would not in the future, make it into the Clintons wallets.
All while he is president, the Trump Organization would continue to make deals with foreign nationals, foreign governments, domestic governments, domestic developers, licencees, and more. But, unlike the Clintons, Trump would stand to gain financially from such deals.
But no one says a word about Trump's Business empire, which rakes in cash for many, many countries. Ho-Hum. He says he will step away from it if elected - and let his children run it. And he won't knew exactly what is going on? Other countries won't see doing business with Trump Enterprises aren't going to be known about in the Oval Office?
But, hey its the Donald and if the MSM reports on him in a negative way he might get mad at them.

Personally I didn't think her husband was mentally capable of running the fed as old as he was before he retired. She is awful.

Or he could take his proceeds and put it into balanced mutual funds, like Obama.
He'd probably make more money that way anyway.

(3,743 posts)this story often and pound the MSM until they do their jobs and treat this like the major story that it is.Trump basically used his "foundation" money to BRIBE the Attorney General of Florida re. investigating Trump University fraud. If I remember correctly, it sounds like the Att. General of Texas was also BRIBED. Yet this is being largely ignored by the media. (Along with hiding his taxes....actually no proof of even being audited...Stiffing contractors etc.....Frivolous lawsuits used to bully anyone who speaks out against him...Making his VOLUNTEERS sign non disclosure forms....Hiring models illegally...his bullsh** Birtherism...his alt-rightwing, white supremacist, sexist, campaign staff...monetary ties to Russia/China...etc etc.) Why is no one demanding this be investigated and why is no one calling for the Trump foundation to be shut down immediately? Also, why is it ok for Trump's kids to run his businesses, but Chelsea staying on the board of the Clinton Foundation is a conflict of interest? END OF
