Trump Foundation caught in a "Pay for play" scheme. Media not covering it.

Clinton campaign blasts Trump's pay-to-play scandal

"Donald Trump has been falsely attacking the charity run by President Clinton when it is Trump's own Foundation that has been caught in an actual pay-to-play scandal.

"While the Clinton Foundation has received the highest ratings from independent charitable watchdogs, Donald Trump's use of foundation money to donate to the Florida Attorney General actually broke the law. Worst of all, it appears the payment may have been intended to stave off an investigation into the sham Trump University that has ripped off unsuspecting students.

"Donald Trump has no standing whatsoever to question the Clinton Foundation, which works to make AIDS and malaria drugs more accessible, when it's been proven he uses his own foundation to launder illegal campaign donations."

Both vadermike and myself both saw MSNBC covering it.


Don't you want the story to be featured on cable news in any fashion?

Trump's malfeasance needs to be shouted from the rooftops.

Isn't that obvious? Something is obvious, btw.

Look for the traditional media to jump on this contrast sometime around the fifth of never. What does not suit the narrative, does not make the headlines.
