After the 2016 election, I came across 2 news shows that investigated Trump. One by the Dutch TV company, Zembla, and the other BBC. Both worth watching.

One of Trump's crimes that I hit the Trumpsters with is Trump's founding of Trump Foundation - a "charity" to help kids with cancer. Its purpose was really to allow Trump to pay himself from the donations from others. Very little went to any kids. Trump was found guilty, ordered to pay a $2M fine, and he and his family banned from running any charity in NY state.

Trump has committed literally thousands of crimes.

I didn't even list the charity bilking thing. I was just going off the top of my head and had a big thick paragraph. Unreal.

I like to tell the Trumpers about the "guilty" findings like the charity, the casino money-laundering, the "university" fraud. He was found at fault and had to pay out.

Yeah, he and Stone long ago discovered that if you commit 10 crimes, you may as well commit 1,000 - nobody can remember the ones from last year, and there's only so much anger you can hold in your mind.

Of course, the media conveniently "forgot". I think there's a HUGE story there.

And finally - why hasn't Trump's sister been indicted for tax fraud???

A question comes to mind: is he actively "informing" these days and if so, who is he informing upon? How, exactly does that work? And if he has "retired" from his CI role, is he not fair game now?
