NY attorney general eyes investigation of Eric Trump Foundation after damning ‘self-dealing’...

I hope Mr. Trump can solicit the assistance of Hillary Clinton and John Pedestal and then they will surely learn how to run an effective political slush-fund.

That's all they have? I would hardly call that a case.....lol. First of all Charitable Trusts or foundations are used as tax offsets. When you run one you have to be very careful with the paper trail to prove you are not using the foundation or trust to enrich yourself beyond the tax offset. So he had a right to get upset and say what he did. I think where the IRS is concerned is the 100k donation to the charity to apparently cover a shortfall in accounting. So it wasn't the remarks, IMO it was the donation to cover up the accounting mistake. Regardless if this truely was a case the IRS would have already proven it via audits. So it is another wild goose chase by the highly political NY Attorney General's office. Now the Clintons on the other hand the allegation against them was pulling money OUT of the charity to pay for clothes, private jet charters, etc. Clearly the second is far more serous and far lower on the morality scale as it is stealing from the poor. The case above outlined by Trump is a concern over accounting for the charity.........nothing much more. BTW, you cannot cater a charity event and not bill, thats illegal as well because you need to account for sales taxes. The reason for that is the food and beverages are purchased TAX EXEMPT as they are for all restaurants and eateries in the United States. So you have to bill then comp the bill so you account for the TAX EXEMPTION of the sales taxes. You cannot extend that TAX EXEMPTION to a charity unless that charity has a TAX EXEMPTION certificate and even then you still have to bill and comp the bill to show how much out of your monthly or quarterly tax collection is comped and going to charity.

Also, you cannot prosecute an accounting case on "I said", "he said", "they said". Thats called circumstansial evidence. You have to have physical evidence such as accounting records that have the alleged "damning" entry with the alleged "reason" for the accounting entry. Good Luck with that New York.........most accounting entries are only very summarily annotated. So this case will go nowhere unless the documentation backs up the verbal allegation including repeating the verbal accusation on paper with the accounting entry.
