Big Surprise!!!

Trump is a criminal.

An important victory for the rule of law should be returning all the money donated to their owners and put in jail who used a charity to make illegal profits.

Since when is the Clinton Foundation going to shut down for their international pay-to-play scams... including $145 million from Putin for Uranium One.

But why no criminal charges if “a shocking pattern of illegality”? Trump is NOT above the law in the US.

katiecouric Such crooks!! TrumpCrimeSyndicate

This is absolutely disgusting, but I must say, anyone who would give to a foundation with his name in it had to be pretty clued out in the first place, really They thought he was helping people?

The house of cards is caving

Fake news

Hey ..can we talk about the CONGRESS FOUNDATION that used tax payer dollars to silence women harassed by elected congressional leaders?

Please .. PLEASE DO A STORY ON THE Clinton Foundation and ALL OF THEIR FRAUD TOO. Please.. please please!

realDonaldTrump

But will they be prosecuted for the illegalities?

What a bunch of crooks! They are such awful, immoral people.

Cannot think of any transaction w trump that is legal. Ask city of Chicago

If any other person would have run the same scam, we'd all be in jail. But Trump should be brought up on criminal charges. Trump and his family are CROOKED and should be investigated thoroughly.

The Trump crime family strikes again. Totally corrupt amd immoral family is all you can say. TrumpCrimeFamily TrumpFoundation

If All Law is Subject to interpretation which Ruler do you use to Measure its Authenticity?

Nothing to see, no criminal activity HERE sir Individual1

What was shocking? There are over 1,400,000 charities in the US. Why pick in The Peoples President.

Does this mean the investigation is over? I understand that lawsuit is ongoing, but will anybody have any culpability in this otherwise?

What a dopey check. Just paste slogans all over it and don't forget to put 5 stars on the top... that's key.

Omg

One thing for certain. Considering the TrumpCrimeFamily is all abt money-hungry, losing these millions of fund to the charities (finally) will hurt as TrumpFoundation has been their piggy bank! 😂😂😂

Coming from NPR more fake news from the liberal trash attorney general. Will the moaning and groaning ever stop. We real Americans will vote him in for a second term PERIOD.

That’s fine. If there’s been laws broken go after them. Just make sure you go after all law breakers. Not just the ones you hate.

According to IRS, Trump foundation 2016 revenue was $2.9M, expenses were $3.07M. Great accounting, these crooks do. Did they give $0 to charity?

Lets hope they shift focus to the Clinton foundation next...

Wouldn't rule of law put someone in jail? Or is that only for peasants? Smh... mmfa ProPublica

what got me is that it was shocking for them sksksk

You mean the Clinton foundation....

I hate that thumb.

Shocker

DonaldJTrumpJr soon your whole life will dissolve around you

Not really that shocking.

The only thing that is shocking is that anyone would truly be shocked at this. Wait until the graft of the inauguration committee funds is made public. Or for that case, anything related to trump is fully exposed.

'Self-dealing' realDonaldTrump POTUS Trump Where does it end? TrumpFoundation NYSAttorneyGeneral

Judge to Flynn: 'All along you were an unregistered agent of a foreign country while serving as National Security Advisor to the President of the United States. That undermines everything this flag over here stands for.'

At campaign stops,Tubby would donate from the foundation. Does It have to reimburse that. Wasn’t that illegal campaign contributions?

Lock them up…please!!!

realDonaldTrump POTUS IvankaTrump GOP CNN MSNBC FOXNEWS maddow SenMajLdr SenSchumer SenSanders SenBlumenthal NancyPelosi RandPaul tedlieu marcorubio LindseyGrahamSC how very low are people using a charity for personal gain... That's how low the Trump's are

I'll take 'things President Obama would be crucified for,' for $500, Alex.

'The New York attorney general's office will continue its lawsuit against the foundation and is seeking millions in restitution and penalties, and it also seeks to bar Trump and his children from serving on the boards of other New York charities.' Good. 👍

katiecouric GOP SenateGOP SenCoryGardner senatemajldr HouseGOP Maybe a sign you should step up and say enough! I know you won't do anything, but worth the ask. Using a charity organization for his own greedy interests and you call him your leader. TrumpCrimeFamily

So everything gets swept under the rug?

Democrats/ Liberals just try to destroy anything that doesn’t fit what they want. If they really cared about the legality of foundations, they’d look within their own party as well. hypcrites

It was the best way to get money in tax free.. Lots of donations were made.. Sorry but you'd likely have done it too.

How will MAGA boy pay for his wall, and portraits now?

So... Let me guess... No one is going to look into the Clinton Foundation. Right!? Rrrriiiiiiiiiigghhhhht. 😐

Witch-hunt! Biased! Fake news! What about crooked Hillary?

Trump and the word 'illegality' seem to go together nearly every day, don't they?

If the New York Attorney General cared about the Rule of :Law, it would've indicted the executives of the Clinton Foundation many years ago.

But.... no worries because Trump, himself, had nothing to do with this branch of his mob family....he's clean as a whistle. Not

Is there anything Trump has done that isn't a scam?

But no one is going to jail? If laws were broken why is no one being held accountable?

Knock me over with a feather

This is our President!! Shameful!!!

This is very legal & very cool, yeah?

Great, but will anyone actually pay the price for all of the illegality?

So if it’s so bad let’s see a successful indictment and prosecution. I will bet we won’t see either

🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😁

No criminal charges? Just dissolving the organization?

But the Clinton foundation rolls on, nothing to see here folks...

This POS stole contributions to VETERANS. And it’s proven. WHY aren’t veterans groups shouting this from the rooftops & demanding he come up off his ass & make it right?!! He’s penalizing vets & gov employees & anybody else he can, making them live on less $ while he gets richer!

but why isnt he getting in trouble for it? he basically STOLE peoples money and used it for himself?

Looks like the biggest crime boss in American History is going down

So they get away with illegality?

Cry cry baby, democrats desperate

Slowly starts to whisper: (lock him up, lock him up...)

So much winning! realDonaldTrump

So when is the Clinton foundation shutting down ?

And now, about those tax returns... POTUS realDonaldTrump

MichaelMedicoLA Another illegal form of cash ending for the POTUS and his family. Lock all of them up.

If the Clinton foundation is allowed to continue I will never trust any politician, democrat or Republican ever again. This is insane

But, but, but the emails ! 🤦‍♂️

Why do they get to shut down and there are no legal ramifications? Can I run an illegal business and then when I get caught can I just shut it down and keep all the money I made breaking the law?

Hallelujah! Now, if those responsible will be held accountable & indicted pending discovery & charges.

No, an important victory for the rule of law would be to fine/prosecute those in violation of it. Our legal system, like most before it, provide remedy only to those wealthy enough to buy it

katiecouric Oh for Gods sake stop this foolishness now. All politicians play loose games with campaign funds at least Trump used his cash fo fund these things. Who cares? What about Clinton foundation wrong doing?

Lock them all up!

the corrupt clinton foundation is using all available means to eliminate competitors

The Dominos start to fall . Yeah justice is alive and well.

Here is a quick summary of past, current, and future events.

I wonder if his kids will ever be able to find another job after all this

We need names of responsible parties and jail sentences.

Stay tuned for NPR's hard hitting piece on the corruption of the Clinton Foundation...oh wait...

realDonaldTrump Donny what up?

katiecouric Crooks crooked crookery

And...will they be held accountable? They had better...

And the Clinton foundation rolls on scamming all what a country most of the funding for the Trump foundation comes from the Trump family When you consider you have losers like Al Sharpton free walking around NY & owing millions in taxes how does this work

And yet the media and and then candidate and the GOP were claiming it was Clinton a foundation that was corrupt and with close ties to Saudi Arabia as well, jeez it f only everybody took time then to find the truth, Hillary would be President

The president and his family taking the saying that charity begins at home seriously!

The irony of Trump attaching the label of 'crooked Hillary' to Clinton. With this news and that of his former aid Roger Stone settling a lawsuit and having to admit to lying, turns out they are the biggest crooks of them all TrumpFoundation InfoWars CreatorsOfFakeNews ConMen

Lock them up.

Miduswell Good riddance POTUS is FUBAR 🇺🇸••• - - - •••🇺🇸 Go Mueller Go

Right...is that why No Charges are filed ?

Damn wish I could run a fraudulent enterprise. Steal millions, pay no taxes. Then dissolve when I get caught without repercussions.

When is the Clinton Foundation getting into trouble?

They gonna investigate the Clinton Foundation with the same zeal now?

It was only shut down because he thinks if it's not committing the crimes it was, before it gets to court proper: Past crimes don't count. :/

So much winning

Alright everyone let’s take a drink every time a Trump Supporter brings up the Clinton Foundation and lets all get alcohol poisoning!

BUT HER EMAILS!!!!

so WHEN is this nest haired gaygoyle criminal THUG going to pay for his crimes?

Once again, the Trump Family gets away

Shocking my arse... I’d be shocked to find he’s ever done anything on the up & up!

This tweet didn’t age too well...

So if Trump shuts down his foundation does this mean he walks away from the criminal prosecution? Just wondering how completely f-d up our criminal system really is.

Take your SLUSH FUND and put it on your WALL.

So no punishment? Why is that poor black and brown folks always end up in jail but when white folks especially ones with money they get a slap on the wrist or a stern talking too. Shits sad!!!!

The Clinton Foundation was a storefront to line the pockets of the Clinton’s and libs have the 🥜 to go after the Trump Foundation? (They’ve completely given up trying to look objective).

Where’s the Clinton Foundation announcement?

JedipeachS 'Is stealing money that is supposed to go to charity even a crime?' - Rudy Guiliani tonight on Fox

And... no one cares about the McSally appointment which was ShockingNotShocking

this wasn't a foundation. it was a slush fund. a single check book in trump's desk. audit fee was $5,000 a year. And Donald pointed at the Clinton foundation?

Shocking?

Even I could see that abuse when the tv show Apprentice was on. There was an episode when the money was given to charity & for some reason, the charity didn't receive any monies from the Trump foundation!!

And Trump supporters will say it’s fake news

aw hell yea

'Underwood said that oversight of spending at Trump’s foundation was so loose that its board of directors hadn’t met since 1999, and its official treasurer wasn’t even aware that he was on the board.' - washington post article

👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻🙌🏻 YASSSSS FUCK realDonaldTrump

Sometimes you just gotta completely dissolve to avoid a lawsuit

Shocking, eh? Is that eyebrow raising shock or pearl-clutching?

But he is still POTUS can he also be dissolved

So much winning.

realDonaldTrump can’t oversee a charitable foundation legally and we expect him to run our country in a legal, moral and ethical way?

Before the troll farmcommadres take over with whataboutism, let me remind you that the Clinton Foundation has been completely transparent with their books, and where their money is spent.

So now the left is going after realDonaldTrump for giving away his Presidential paycheck. You know it's coming.

And the Clinton Foundation just goes about its business. What a joke!

When the CLINTON CRIME FOUNDATION will dissolve?

Does jail time come with this or what?

Wha?!? This guy is corrupt?!?

Is that compared to the Clinton Foundation?

The unraveling of the Trump Crime Family continues...

Is this supposed to distract us from Mueller obstructing justice in his own investigation? 19,000 Strzok-Page texts ... poof .... gone. Like Keyser Soze.

Non-shocker. The onion layers continue to unfold. Go get it! 👍

Who will launder his money now? Putin?

Shocking lol

The Clinton Foundation would be a good reputable charity to donate the remaining funds to.

A little scrutiny from the NY AG & the Trump Foundation is history. Meanwhile the GOP falls flat on its face yet again, trying & faiing to pin wrongdoing on the Clinton Foundation. Our cards make great gifts. KnowYourDeplorables

We have a CRIMINAL in the White House. I mean, we all have known that for quite sometime now (except the Trumpsters that love to be ignorant). It's time he gets impeached!!!

When are these mofos gonna start going to prison? Or prison only works when black and brown steal petty bs from a dept store?

Fake news. And a lying NY Attorney General. What are the odds 😂

Look at Trump's empire like a game of Jenga. Now the pieces are coming out one by one - all to be followed by a complete collapse.

Wonder how seanhannity will spin this ... look for a fake story on the Clinton Foundation tonight !

The Gravy Train has derailed!

Now, the same scrutiny needs to be paid to the Clinton Foundation. Biggest scam out there.

Hey tRump: Put that in your pipe and smock it! ResignNow

so will they still prosecute the Trumplets?

Trump makes Tricky Dick look like a Boyscout. I am so embarrassed as an American. What shame this man has brought to the office of the Presidency.

Shocking? Hmmmm...Not anymore.

shocking pattern of illegality

In the meantime... Gov. Cuomo, the AG, the Mayor's Office not giving a damn about the residents of NYCHA. Those same people that voted for Cuomo and de Blasio to get elected are in turn being screwed.

Honestly, I want AGUnderwood to run for Prez. She’s amazing!

Nothing about Trump’s various illegal activities should be considered “shocking“ at this point.

It's not that big of a victory unless someone get's prosecuted for the illegal activities that brought about the decision to dissolve.

realDonaldTrump Tick-Tock MF.

'If you want to know what God thinks about money, look at who he gives it to.' Money-grubbing is no way to live, as this family displays daily.

Count down to the 'But the Clinton Foundation' from Trump. 3-2-1!

Wake up Americans and get involve in OUR DEMOCRACY, don't complain if you don't VOTE

What's to come of the funds that were allegedly used for personal reasons?

Shocking? Nothing is shocking about the illegal practices of the Trump crime family.

No surprises!

Funny how there is a shocking pattern of illegality with everything the trump crime family is associated with. LockThemAllUp

That's good and all, but shouldn't someone do some jail time as well? That's kind of what the law says. If a regular citizen does something illegal, they don't just lose their job, they lose everything.
