Trump inaugural committee under criminal investigation

30

The inauguration? This is ridiculous. The Democrats are mad with rage, determined to destroy President Trump in any way they possibly can. And why? What is Trump’s crime? Here they’re claiming that Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE bought influence over American policy, as if Trump were the first President to be allied with the Saudis. Trump’s real crime in the eyes of the Democrats is that he is a popular President who dissents from their agenda, unlike the RINOs. The Democrats can’t get over the fact that they lost in 2016, and they’re determined to override the will of the people by smearing the President in any way they can, and ultimately attempting to bring him down by means of bogus charges.

“Trump inaugural committee under criminal investigation, source says,” by Kara Scannell, Gloria Borger and Devan Cole, CNN, December 14, 2018:

The New York Times reported Thursday night that federal prosecutors are looking into whether people from foreign countries funneled potentially illegal donations to both the inaugural fund and a pro-Trump super PAC in efforts to buy “influence over American policy.” The paper, citing people familiar with the inquiry, said it focuses on people from Middle Eastern countries — including Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates — and whether they “used straw donors to disguise their donations to the two funds.”

Federal law does not allow foreign contributions to inaugural funds or PACs, according to the Times.

In a statement, Trump’s inaugural committee said the celebration was “in full compliance with all applicable laws.”

“The (committee) is not aware of any pending investigations and has not been contacted by any prosecutors. We simply have no evidence the investigation exists,” the statement read.

“The (committee’s) finances were fully audited internally and independently and are fully accounted. Moreover, the inauguration’s accounting was provided both to the Federal Election Commission and the IRS in compliance with all laws and regulations. These were funds raised from private individuals and were then spent in accordance with the law and the expectations of the donors. The names of donors were provided to the FEC and have been public for nearly two years and those donors were vetted in accordance with the law and no improprieties have been found regardng [sic] the vetting of those donors.”

When asked by reporters about the Wall Street Journal story Thursday, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said, “That doesn’t have anything to do with the President or the first lady. The biggest thing the President did, his engagement in the inauguration, was to come here and raise his hand and take the oath of office. The President was focused on the transition at that time and not on any of the planning for the inauguration.”

According to the Journal, sources told the paper that the investigation “partly arises out of materials seized in the federal probe of former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen’s business dealings.”…

Wow, you should be doing it like the Muslims, use the left hand only and after that, preferably, to save water, wipe the hand in the grass, socks or in someone else’s towel. Highly recommended by the Greens too since you are saving trees as well.

Muhammadist tyrannies must be abolished.
Saudi Arabia & UAE are enslaving Africans.
Qatar probably too. & Kuwait, UAE, Oman, Bahrain, Yemen, Lebanon, north-Sudan, Somalia, Libya (surge) Algeria (surge), Mauritania (20 percent), Mali, Niger, Nigeria & elsewhere according to Muhammad-law.
They imprison & kill atheists & compromise the media & education-system worldwide.
They force theism on people & spread the propaganda that atheism is terrorism.
They cut off clitorisses & plot war, all according to Muhammad-law.

Atheism is a human right.
North Korea & Russia support Muhammadism. They need to learn that love & justice are ethical values & Muhammadism unjust.

There must be still a fair bit of money left in the Clinton fund because buying all these phoney accusers and victims must cost them a fortune. Perhaps CNN is chipping in with the cost.

Maxine Water’s rants, Schumer’s whining, Pelosi’s stammering and now this idiot Cortez. The Democrats used to produce people like JFK or FDR. Now? Just malcontents and weird fringe elements. This is the result.

The committee indicated as far as they know there is no investigation, they have not been asked for anything from the FBI/DOJ/FEC. It could be more Fake News and/or Mueller-SDNY.

The election of Trump has many beneficial consequences for America, and one of the foremost has been in revealing how strong the Marxist cultural agenda is and how deep it’s reached into the core of American political life.

This latest “enquiry” is proof of that, the vested interests coming after him because he had the cheek to win are revealed and as usual as with all two faced hypocrites, they notice the small speck in the eye of another while missing entirely the plank in their own.

The electorate need to take note, by hating him on a personal level, the left despise all who elected him by implication, something about “deplorables” wasn’t it ?

Do people actually vote for these Marxist Democrats. Do Democrats actually perform the duties they were elected for?

What is sad is this goes back to 2000 with Bush and Gore and the D’s not accepting the election and the USSC having to decide. Sadder is most of the 18 to 25 y.o. were not even born or running around in toddler size pampers. So they vote D without any historical reference to “we have seen this before.”
The D’s have been screaming for impeachment BEFORE Trump was even sworn in. First the Russia garbage and since that didn’t pan out now the ME stuff. I sincerely hope after two years of this D garbage in the House the D party passes into oblivion in 2020.

Hard times will fall on Trump soon, but he’s being tested by God like Jesus was with Satan. He’ll pull through it and I hope he releases information to the public about the Demorats. Don’t push Trump he’s a fighter and comes back stronger.

What needs to be investigated is where the millions of dollars supposedly raised by the Clinton campaign for her inauguration disappeared to. But then the left is covering for her the way the Democrats did for Al Capone!

On the upside, the outlandish news that the demonRATS are now going after the President’s inaugural committee sounds to me like they’re mad with desperation and have reached the bottom of the barrel in ways to threaten him. Corruptocrats is a good name for them. Nasty desperate losers with empty lives they are.

Strange how the left wing media never seem to mention the fake dossier or the rampant collusion carried out by those in the justice department, the FBI to destroy Trump or the Clinton foundation receiving 145 million kick back from Uranium 1 or the 36,000 e-mails, the bleaching the smashing up of laptops, cell phone etc. These people care nothing about the country. They are not patriots and hate Trump because he is not bought and paid for and really cares about America. The Democrats have no coherent message to improve the country in any meaning full way. They do not want a border wall as this would boost Trump’s approval rating. According to a Gallup pole, there are 158 million people around the world that would love to come to the US. Obviously, these far left Democrats would be happy to accommodate all these people. You only have to look at the immigration in borderless Europe to see how this would change the country for ever.
