Trump facing criminal charges
 

Trump University was a scam school and thousands of Americans got ripped off by Donald Trump.

He is calling it a great business move and says the students were just collateral damage in his making money.

He is being investigated for criminal fraud. Trump may end up in prison and certainly will have to pay huge fines.

He is a sleaze!

If so he will be able to waive across the yard to Hillary !

So, what is your opinion of Hillary?

He is not being investigated for "criminal fraud." However, Hillary IS being investigated by the FBI for mishandling classified information and the IRS for tax fraud.

So to be clear. A bunch of people who wanted to learn how to become rich overnight by taking shortcuts and not having to provide any useful services enrolled in Trump University. There they received an object lesson in becoming rich overnight, taking shortcuts and not providing useful services. Seems to me they got what they paid for. Remember, you can't fix stupid.

Hillary and Bill have cornered the market on sleaze!

Donald Trump has been chastising the judge in this case for months. He calls him a Mexican, as if that is a bad thing. The judge was born and raised in Indiana.

If Trump thinks the deck is so stacked against him, why doesn't he file a motion asking the judge to recuse himself from this case. This has not been done as of today.

:thumbup:

How do you know?

Obama is an African-American. Can't the judge be a Mexican-American?

He's a businessman. You can't blame him for wanting to make a quick buck.

He will make us all rich by reducing taxes for the wealthy, the people who live in the villages and moving off shore manufacturing to the US creating jobs so he can return the middle class to it's old status. America will be great again. Have I missed anything?

Yes, you missed the part where they hand out brains. Try listening instead of parroting liberal talking points. Trump said he would INCREASE income taxes on the wealthy. How you mixed that up, only serves to prove the point that liberals just repeat instead of listening.

You are talking about his first plan. The general one that got him nominated. The specific plan is:

"The highest-income 0.1 percent of taxpayers -- those who had an income of over $3.7 million in 2015 -- would get an average tax cut of more than $1.3 million in 2017.

That same group would receive 18 percent of the tax reduction, while the bottom 60 percent of taxpayers would receive 16.4 percent of the reduction."

The billionaires get the biggest tax break, him. And how does this change things?

Both sides parrot talking points...both sides lie to us.

Why do you vote for them?

There are other options, 3rd party candidates. Try it, you won't have that dirty, skanky, feeling about yourself like after that one niter you still regret...you'll have done the right thing. If everyone did, we wouldn't have nearly the corruption we have now.

Because a third party candidate CANNOT win! A vote for a third part candidate is a wasted vote. You might as well vote for Donald Duck, he has the same chance of winning as does any third party candidate.

Bernie got a lot closer then expected. He didn't pretend he was was a true democrat or change his tune to fit the audience.

So you would do away with "Crimes against Seniors" because they should know better?

Apple and Oranges, but my guess is that there weren't many seniors enrolled in Trump University

Whether it's Trump U or seniors against crime it's about theft of services, swindling someone out of their money. You know that.


"There they received an object lesson in becoming rich overnight, taking shortcuts and not providing useful services. Seems to me they got what they paid for." I hope Trump's lawyers make that claim in his defense.

I wish the trial started, Trump revealed his taxes and the FBI would release it's server report.

There may be time for a Republican and Democratic candidate who is popular and not in question.

Well, Bozo, your guess is wrong. There were hundreds of seniors who thought the get rich promises were real. Foolishly, they cashed in 401's and pension plans to enroll.

Basically it was no different than the schemes by Madoff. He is in prison. Put Trump in prison! :BigApplause:

Well, Bozo. In a population of 330 million, "hundreds of seniors" is infinitesimal. So, my guess "weren't many seniors" proved to be correct after all. Thank you for your validation.:D

You lie. If what you said was true, and it isn't then he would be in jail now. There is no evidence of fraud. But, if that is the only way that you can figure to defend Killary and her crimes, then it won't come close to tipping the scale. Vote for your scumbag Clinton. Invite her to your home and see how much she steals on the way out. Just like she did to the White House upon leaving.

The Clintons are no petty thieves. They only go with the Grand Larceny. They know that no one will prosecute them and they have plenty of guppies supporting them. They are taking all the libtard saps for a ride and the dummies are thanking them for it.

Very clever. You are an honest man of principals.

Seniors are vulnerable. Trump and his henchmen preyed on the vulnerable. This trial should be interesting, starting just before the election.

Sorry to hear that you are one of the seniors that got scammed.

Trump University was likely a money making project just about the same as other Universities in this country. They take your money but after all is said and done you got an "education" but no guarantee of anything more. No difference.

I hope Trumps lawyers use that as a defense. That should get him off.

Schnackenberg, who worked in Trump’s office at 40 Wall Street, testified that “while Trump University claimed it wanted to help consumers make money in real estate, in fact Trump University was only interested in selling every person the most expensive seminars they possibly could.” The deposition concludes, “Based upon my personal experience and employment, I believe that Trump University was a fraudulent scheme, and that it preyed upon the elderly and uneducated to separate them from their money.”

"it preyed upon the elderly"
Some think if we are deceived we deserved it, just to teach us a lesson.

If you and everyone else would just do your job and vote for whom YOU wanted to win, we might actually get people who will look out for US instead of those who paid big money to get them elected. Each vote puts them one vote closer to winning.

Don't you feel "dirty" inside after casting you vote for a lesser of two evils? I can't do it, I vote usually libertarian, though it depends.

I voted for Perot, he was right about the sucking sound of jobs leaving the country. You thought he was a kook. He was right. A lot of independent candidates have been right. You called them all "unelectable" kooks.

Easy money for "education" there are hundreds of "diploma mills", everyone knows you won't get a job when "real students" who showed up to class and didn't study in their pajamas, apply.

You're degree is from U of Phoenix? Thanks...next...

Thank you for voting for Ross Perot. You do realize you and the rest of the 20% who voted for Perot put Bill Clinton in the White House.

Just like all those voting for Gary Johnson/Bill Weld will help put Hillary Clinton in the White House.

Exactly.

Gary Johnson is just another liberal in guise of a Libertarian. Even the label lets you know which way they lean. He will attempt to convince Republicans and Independents that he is one of them, and will pull enough votes to put Crooked Hillary in the White House. Obama has already instructed his AG not to prosecute Hillary for all the crimes she has perpetrated. There is no way they could do that and keep him clean. Hopefully, Hillary will have another stroke that will take her out of the picture. She is already suffering headaches and dizzy spells according to her staff. She seems to fall down more than the average person her age. Bill looks like he is suffering from AIDS, but it may be some other health issue. With his lifestyle, you can never know what might be his issue.

If everyone voted for whom was the best candidate and didn't play the "party game", he would have won. He SHOULD have won. We'd be better off if he'd won.

You're blaming the wrong people...you should blame the people who voted for Clinton or Bush. THEY got him elected, not us. We voted for the BEST person...not the lesser of two evils...that's what YOU voted for.

He's the BEST person? The best person according to whom, you?
