Trump failed to get required permits

[jimbo2012]

Oooppps it's really

Clinton failed to get required permits

Nice to be above the law

Bill and Hillary Clinton failed to get required permits for a rushed renovation of the house and grounds they recently bought next to their original Westchester home, it was reported Friday.

Records show that the Clintons’ contractors filled in an in-ground pool, covering it with gravel, and extensively remodeled the interior of the property — all without applying for permits and paying the required fees to the town of New Castle.

The couple were apparently in a rush to get the work done and demanded that it be finished before Thanksgiving, a contractor told town officials.

“He said they have to have it done by Thanksgiving. I said that’s nice but you still have to get the permits,” Building Inspector William Maskiell told The Post.

The couple, he added, face “several thousand dollars, at least,” in fees and penalties for failing to get the paperwork straight.

An unidentified tipster ratted out the Clintons, who plunked down $1.15 million in August for the 3,631-square-foot house, a deal first reported in The Post.

Maskiell inspected the Chappaqua property after getting the tip about the pool work and then discovered the other renovations that were under way.

He notified the Democratic presidential nominee and her hubby about the violations in a letter dated Oct. 17, according to the Journal News, which first disclosed the missing permits.

Attached to the letter was another document titled “Clinton Violation Inspection Report” in which Maskiell said the contractor told him the Clintons “were quite adamant about [the Thanksgiving deadline] and what had started as a paint job turned into this,” meaning the major renovation.

I think this attempt at sarcasm failed.

Further investigation reveals that the Clinton Foundation has paid the fines.

I would if I made 250 million from a foundation.


but the point here is they ignored the law, their whole life they did that.

If elected she will continue to do so with greater authority.

Now this is the model for a foundation


"Donald Trump was in a tuxedo, standing next to his award: a statue of a palm tree, as tall as a toddler. It was 2010, and Trump was being honored by a charity — the Palm Beach Police Foundation — for his “selfless support” of its cause.

His support did not include any of his own money.

Instead, Trump had found a way to give away somebody else’s money and claim the credit for himself.

Trump had earlier gone to a charity in New Jersey — the Charles Evans Foundation, named for a deceased businessman — and asked for a donation. Trump said he was raising money for the Palm Beach Police Foundation.

The Evans Foundation said yes. In 2009 and 2010, it gave a total of $150,000 to the Donald J. Trump Foundation, a small charity that the Republican presidential nominee founded in 1987.

Then, Trump’s foundation turned around and made donations to the police group in South Florida. In those years, the Trump Foundation’s gifts totaled $150,000.

Trump had effectively turned the Evans Foundation’s gifts into his own gifts, without adding any money of his own.

Of course what pride could a man have who uses stolen emails from a man accused of rape as the cornerstone of his campaign

She can afford the fines, knew the consequences and figured out the total cost of ownership if you want it done before Thanksgiving. Some would call her smart.

[jimbo2012]

Some call it ignoring the law, or above the law.

Isn't she supposed to set an example for others to follow?

Tell your grand kids to follow that example, if caught just plead the Hillary defense, My grandfather said it was smart...I invoke the Hillery defense.

Judge....she's in jail.

[MDLNB]

They also paid restitution for the grand larceny (felony) they admitted to when they left the white house.

[jimbo2012]

And $850,000 to Paula Jones

That's peanuts after devising the biggest charity Foundation fraud in the history of the US while we paid her to be Sec of State.

The Clinton's are worth $250 million today, that money isn't from speeches!!

It isn't from working either. Hillary is the laziest gov employee ever to work in D.C. and is on par with the GS workers that work in the D.C. VA hospital.

Judge....she's in jail.Don't you think she's a little busy right now. She probably tells Bill what she wants done, he tells an assistant what she wants done and they take care of the details.

What I find interesting is that it's a million dollar house. She could afford to live in Trump Towers.

SIZE STARTING FROM # AVAIL
1 BED$2,100,000
2 BEDS$3,300,000
3 BEDS$8,500,000

Others would hope her plane crashes...no real loss in the media either (if by luck that plane is hit by an errant asteroid).

And on the same pretense, people seem to think Trump does his own taxes and cheats by following the tax code....ignorant democrats.

It's amazing how some people will hate so much...that they believe anything. :oops:

The items the Clinton's kept was solely due to their understanding of what was allowed for them to keep.

When they found out that some of the items were in fact not allowed to be declared as personal gifts (which they could legally keep), they paid the market rate for them.

Hillary Clinton Stole $200,000 in White House Furnishings : snopes.com (http://www.snopes.com/hillary-clinton-stole-white-house-furniture/)

WHAT'S TRUE: The Clintons voluntarily returned or paid for some gifts due to dispute over whether they had been given to the Clintons personally or to the U.S.

WHAT'S FALSE: The Clintons were not "forced" to return any gifts, they were not found to have "stolen" any items, and the aggregate value of the objects in question was much less than $200,000.

Sorry, but just because a lie is repeated over and over...it doesn't make it true.

And on the same pretense, people seem to think Trump does his own taxes and cheats by following the tax code....ignorant democrats.I don't think Trump does his own taxes anymore then he defends himself when he gets sued or decides when to go bankrupt. He hires the best because they know what's in his best interest better then he does. He doesn't need to be an expert lawyer or accountant. They trained, went to school and gained experience over the years.

Now what does he know that will make him a great president and commander in chief?

Trust me, the ONLY thing people want from Trump taxes are his foreign investment and debt. Nothing else.

Tax rate makes for some political talk, nothing else. Donations, I think we all know he doesn't, but the foreign debt and interests are quite another thing.

It's OK to say "I can't answer that question. So let's start a new thread on foreign investment and debt."

At least it keeps you in the ballgame.

That is a PERFECT reason to elect him. You dont need to "be" the best if you can hire the best. Where as Hillary thinks that she is omniscient and omnipotent.

Apparently yes...

[ColdNoMore]

The rise of Trump, proves that is a true statement.

[jimbo2012]

Yes this is America

Four Presidents had never been elected to public office before becoming President:
Zachary Taylor,
Ulysses S. Grant,
Herbert Hoover,
Dwight D. Eisenhower.

8 Presidents were out of office (for at least one year) immediately before election as President.
