Complaint Filed Against FL Attorney General & Donald Trump For Felony Campaign Finance Violations

http://bipartisanreport.com/2016/07/07/just-in-complaint-filed-against-florida-attorney-general-donald-trump-for-felony-campaign-finance-violations/

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a request Wednesday for an official investigation to determine if Donald Trump bought off Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi.

In a press release, CREW announced that it had filed official requests with Inspector General Steve Rumph of the Florida’s Office of the Attorney General (OAG) and Stanley Wesson, Chair of the Florida Commission on Ethics.

CREW is a non-profit organization whose stated mission is to promote ethics and accountability in government.

Last month, the Associated Press reported that Bondi had received a $25,000 campaign donation from Donald Trump after her office told the press that the OAG was looking into complaints against Trump University. Shortly after receiving the money, Bondi denied that there was any such investigation and that Florida would not be participating in a nationwide lawsuit against Trump University.

sweat would please me no end. Had to deal with him personally when he was Att Gen of Tx and he was absolutely an ass and no help when we sought guidance in a claim for my husbands 88 year old mother. Karma finally caught up with him, now it seems like she is chasing him again.. Good.

When I was a kid in Central Florida on the east coast, we called Melbourne. Mels Barn and Eau Gallie, Hog Alley - and the county was Brevard, which of course wound up Barnyard..............

I was wondering the same thing. I see CREW mentioned often, but I don't recall hearing anything about the outcome of their complaints.

I'm glad they do bring these issues out in the open. I hope their endeavors do accomplish more than that though. Guess I should hit Google.
