No Media Minds Left Unboggled
A good summation regarding the press propensity to dwell ad infinitum on antique faux Clinton scandals while Trump takes a dump on their desk and walks off saying Hillary did it.
“I never spoke to her, first of all; she’s a fine person beyond reproach. I never even spoke to her about it at all. She’s a fine person. Never spoken to her about it.

I never spoke to her.” The $25,000 gift, paid by the Donald J. Trump Foundation, violated federal rules that prohibit charities from making donations to political candidates. Trump and his team also failed to disclose the large gift to the Internal Revenue Service, instead reporting that the donation was given to an unrelated group with a similar name — effectively obscuring the contribution.

And Donald, exactly how many attorneys general turned down prosecuting cases against you? In addition to the one in Texas.
