Its not good when the Attorney General has an itch for you. I'm also surprised the Attorney General would do this considering that he is on Clinton's campaign committee because of the obvious conflict of interest. I'm not surprised that he would do it actually, but the conflict of interest will be like a billboard in Times Square with his name on it.


Rigged? AG investigating Trump works for Hillary
Serving on Clinton campaign's state committee at same time he's probing Donald's foundation

As he launches an investigation into Donald Trump’s foundation, New York state’s chief law-enforcement officer, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, is not commenting on his work for Democrat Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

A WND request to Schneiderman’s office on Wednesday to comment on what many would perceive as a conflict of interest was met with silence.

The news that Schneiderman was beginning an investigation of the Trump charity already has raised eyebrows.

The Daily Caller noted he’s a Democrat who serves on Clinton’s leadership council in New York state.

Schneiderman told CNN’s Jake Tapper earlier about the investigation.

“My interest in this issue really is in my capacity as regulator of nonprofits in New York state. And we have been concerned that the Trump Foundation may have engaged in some impropriety from that point of view,” he said.

“We have been looking into the Trump Foundation to make sure it’s complying with the laws governing charities in New York.”


The concerns raised about the Trump organization centered on allegations of an illegal donation to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi in 2013 and an expenditure of $20,000 for an oil painting of Trump.

The Daily Caller, however, pointed out that he’s “been much more accommodating of the Clinton Foundation, which his agency also supervises.”

Explained the DC: “A recent report found that the Clinton Foundation has not been in compliance with state rules requiring the disclosure of individual foreign donors for over a decade, but Schneiderman has declined to push for their release. His office says it’s confident the [Clinton] Foundation meets all state expectations.”

The Jewish Press said Schneiderman “is letting the Clinton family foundation break the law.”

“According to NY state law, Schneiderman is supposed to make the Clinton Foundation and Clinton Health Access Initiative (and all charities) publicly disclose the names of foreign governments and the millions they donate each year to the charities but he’s not doing it.”

The report commented: “Perhaps the AG is allowing the Clinton Foundation avoid transparency because Schneiderman is also a member of Clinton’s ‘leadership council’ in New York. After all, this AG’s actions suggest that he lives by the motto ‘politics first.'”

The report noted Schneiderman won a recent case over donor disclosures against the “right-leaning Citizens United” group, “forcing them [to] disclose key information about its major donors.”

At the time, Schneiderman said, “Today’s decision is a victory for common sense oversight of New York’s vast nonprofit sector. New Yorkers deserve to know their donations are protected against fraud and abuse, and today the court protected that right.”

Said the Jewish Press report: “Schneiderman meant every word of the above, but omitted the part that he only enforces transparency laws against conservative organizations. After all, the Clinton Foundation’s been getting off scot-free.”

A WCPO report also raised similar questions, charging Schneiderman “has the power to force the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Health Access Initiative to publicly disclose the names of foreign governments and the millions they donate each year to the charities but he’s not doing it, a Scripps News investigation has found.”

“Schneiderman’s failure to require compliance with New York law and written instructions from his own office keeps the public in the dark about whether the foreign governments that gave money to the Clinton charities also had special access to Hillary Clinton when she was secretary of state, experts in private foundation law say. New York state has long required more transparency from non-profits operating within its borders than many other regulators.

“A Scripps Washington Bureau review of tax returns and regulatory filings found that year after year the Clinton charities have ignored New York law and related instructions. However, the office of Attorney General Schneiderman, a Democrat whom Hillary Clinton named to her campaign’s ‘leadership council’ in New York, did not respond to Scripps’ questions about the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), which has never publicly disclosed in New York filings the identity of its foreign government contributors or the amounts they give each year. Scripps also discovered CHAI did not report hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign government donations to the state.”

That report said Schneiderman’s office “said it considers the Clinton Foundation, which is a separate charity, ‘in step’ with state rules.”

The law enforcer’s personal participation in the Clinton campaign was announced in October, when he was named to a New York state leadership council.

The Clinton campaign said then the group was “the in-state leadership for the campaign, amplifying the campaign’s national voice to New York families aiding the campaign with rapid response, organization building, grassroots organizing events, recruiting volunteer leaders, and identifying leaders for Get Out The Vote activities.”

Others joining Schneiderman on the political action council are Sens. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Trump proposes a $4.4 trillion tax cut
Mazars and Deutsche Bank could have ended this nightmare before it started.
They could still get him out of office.
But instead, they want mass death.
Don’t forget that.

I've said it before, but I always assumed Obama would handily win 2008. I didn't even question if Obama would win 2012. Mccain had Bush baggage and appeared frail compared to this ultra charismatic hip young
guy on top of the obvious historic factor. Romney was just a dud. But I don't know, would not at all be surprised if Trump wins this whole thing. Anyone else think the Trump win is a big possibility now?

In my opinion unless they rig the votes Trump will stomp a mudhole in her ass. One thing I have noticed on the internet is more black people saying things like "the democrats have been screwing us for decades, wake up people, we have been had."

Are you noticing any of that in your area Luther?

If it's Trump versus Hillary, he's going to win. She is campaigning that badly. She is a national version of Martha Coakley, except less likeable. Today, for example, she brings up birtherism...even though her team in 2008 is responsible for birthing birtherism. He's a psychotic egomaniac and a lifelong liar, sure. But she is, too, except hers is a more self-blinding kind of arrogance. I think, deep down, Trump kind of realizes he is a gasbag out of his league, and that leads to an unlikely kind of humility in that he genuinely searches for winning angles, because he feels he needs them. I don't think she has a humble cell in her body. I get the sense she thinks she can get away with anything because she doesn't for one millisecond doubt that she is so superior that she can control the masses enough to dictate a victory on her terms.

I think you are spot on...yes birtherism is definitely Clintonista in origin...Although I was ranting to my wife last night that I think there will be a major global crisis leading to either martial law and suspension of elections, or the reality of becoming President and having to deal with a massive crisis will scare the shit out of Trump and he will finally drop out of the race to let the "professionals" handle it, so Clinton or the two white-bread vp candidates...I admit I was lit for the rant :sun: but I am really feeling like things are teetering on the brink... :starz:

FWIW, It may have been the Clinton camp that popularized the birther theory, I'll take your word for it, but Sherman Skolnick was alleging Obama was a British agent born in Kenya back when O was just an aspiring senator from Illinois who rose to power thru the Chicago machine.

Couldn't find the original story, but this one references it.

http://www.skolnicksreport.org/ootar80.html


2. Did Russian president Putin, suspecting he might be blamed for Hurricane Katrina, jump the gun? Just prior to Katrina hitting the Gulf, Putin noted that two U.S. Senators were in Russia snooping around off- limits secret facilities. That is U.S. Senator Barack Obama (D., Ill.) originally from the former British colony of Kenya and a year previous, before Obama was elected, was publicly fingered by me as a British spy; and his accomplice in Russia, U.S. Senator Richard Luga r (R., Ind.).


The detention in Russia of Obama and Lugar was widely reported.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/2005/08/28/us-senators-detained-in-russia.html

U.S. Senators Detained in Russia
Published August 28, 2005 Associated Press


MOSCOW – A plane carrying two U.S. senators was detained for several hours Sunday while trying to leave Russia, before being permitted to leave the country for Ukraine, according to spokesmen for the lawmakers.


Sens. Richard Lugar (search), R-Ind., chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Barack Obama (search), D-Ill., who had both been visiting storage sites for weapons of mass destruction, were held at an airport in the Ural Mountain city of Perm for several hours, but were allowed to leave after talks between U.S. and Russian officials.

"I am in Ukraine with Sen. Lugar," Lugar's spokesman, Andy Fisher, said in a message sent from a personal messaging device Sunday afternoon.

He said Russian officials refused to let the plane take off for three hours and insisted on boarding it. "They did not. The border patrol finally got orders to let us go," Fisher said.

"We were treated just fine," he said.

A spokesman for Obama also confirmed the plane's arrival in Ukraine.

The senators and their aides spent three days in Russia visiting sites where warheads are stored before destruction under the U.S.-funded Comprehensive Threat Reduction program (search).

The spokesmen did not have information on the nature of the dispute that resulted in the senators' being held. Telephone calls to the Russian border guard service and Foreign Ministry were not answered Sunday evening.

If there is two conspiracy theories that have long boiled my blood on the order of Holocaust Denial, Flat Eartherism, Moon Landing Hoax and other intellectually retarded ass shit...
it's "Obama was born in Kenya and faked his birth certificate" and "climate change and global warming is a hoax". Both of which Trump and his ilk relish in.

But I also loathe to my core anyone who grand stands and gloats of how Henry Kissinger and John Negroponte are their pals....two war criminals.

As the new South Park episode posits, it's an election between a turd sandwich and a giant douche.

It's neocon war criminal globalist powers that be vs far right xenophobic nationalist embracing neo John Bircher paleocon insanity. And I don't really see Trump losing at this point.
When was the last time Democrats won THREE consecutive terms?

.

Pence is his Cheney, Woolsey's on board, Adelson's a sponsor, the pro-war Breitbart outfit provides the campaign staff. Trump repeatedly promises to undo the Iran deal and called for a fucking occupation of the Iraqi and Syrian oil fields -- TAKE THEIR OIL, is that not in English, hello? How long can the canard be sustained that he is anti-"neocon"? Don't fall for the occasional isolationist tropes, lip service to attract Buchanan patsies. The personnel and the consistent messages over the last year -- like TAKE THEIR OIL and undo the Iran agreement -- speak to the real program.

The right words for both "major party" candidates are imperialist and capitalist. They just differ on details of how to throw American power around. Once the real world of state bureaucracy and geostrategic situations intrude, it will look the same.

Both will serve the rich and the corporations, if also making different promises about how they will do so. One has the financial and imperial establishments behind her. The other is collecting a growing crew of opportunity-smelling, capitalist freebooter con-men like himself. Don't be so sure about how the majority of the 1% stand, after Trump's promises to cut their tax margin by nearly half and deregulate everything.

At the base Trump stirs the racism, hatred, violence and visions of macho man dominance rather obviously. Yes, this is a fatal additional toxicity, and definitively worse than Clinton's bullshit in which representational identity politics substitutes for the lack of substantive social and economic justice.

I'd Rather Be Fighting Her.

Without a doubt. I think I posted some of those photos from the black lives matter protest at the DNC, some of the banners went pretty hard against Clinton. Within activist / organizing circles I would say pretty much everyone is anti-Clinton. My black friends are split about 50-50 I would say. There are some passionate pro-Clinton voices, but the other half are either voting Stein or choosing to sit it all out. This is largely split a long class lines (the more well-off, the more one supports Clinton) moreso than say, age.

in this election more than any other (even 2000), I don't think our votes will be counted.

I know that the powers that be are verbally backing Clinton much more widely than they're backing Trump, but some faction might win out behind closed doors, or maybe Trump is the plan all along. What is needed for this country to regress more into inverted totalitarianism? Who is more dystopian? I don't know.
