Cue the Trump groupies to bring up the Clinton Foundation in 3,2,1...
I hope they go after them hard. There are a lot of people who hide behind charitable foundations to commit crimes (including the Clintons). Their Defense is always the same
“this legal action is low, how can you go after an organization that spends $X dollars on charitable work”
With Trump and his sons, I would expect to hear a lot of that with the obligatory “witch hunt” thrown in. You can already see his supporters saying it’s no big deal or that it doesn’t register on their outrage meter (they no longer care if their man breaks laws because he won). Laws should have penalties for everyone and If they did break any while hiding hiding behind their good deeds, I hope they go after them hard.
I think it is most likely true that Clinton misused her position to get donations to the Clinton Foundation. What we don't have is evidence that the money donated was misused.
Siphoning off foundation money for other than charitable purposes appears to have been the MO for the TF for 30 years.
I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.
