    If they are paid employees, yes.

    Both graduates of law school who only sought opportunities to gain power where they could really capitalize on becoming rich. Strange ambition for someone who demonizes the rich.

    And that means that they can get rich off of donations. It’s also a huge tax write off. This most definitely contributes to the Clinton’s wealth

    Their own salary is not a tax write off. How much salary is Billo getting from the Foundation? Be specific.

    I disagree on the last point. I think that this will be his first criminal offense. The one that will be treated "lightly" because it's... his first offense. So if he's convicted of a misdemeanor, next up will be a felony. Not the same to sentence somebody of a felony when it's their first offense, than somebody who was already convicted of a misdemeanor facing sentencing for a felony. The case is likely to take time. So it's likely other charges will come up while the process is ongoing. I think it's a good start. Besides, this will prompt Trump cultists to start sending him money. It's a good test of how much they are willing to cough up and for how long as charges for the criminal accumulate.

    I don’t believe he or Hillary is getting any. But the tax write off from the foundation is still tremendous. If you are truly aware of how foundations work you know this. This is why many rich people do it anyway. It’s still a good cause but it’s a huge insensitive. They get to write off other peoples donations. It’s insane

    Then your original claim was false.

    It's a tax write off for the foundation. Not for the Clintons personally. They get to write off the CONTRIBUTIONS they make to the foundation. They are PAYING the foundation and not, as you previously claimed, BEING PAID BY the foundation.

    You don't get rich from a foundation. You can get a very healthy salary from a foundation, and you've admitted that the Clintons aren't even doing that.

    Not me.... I'll go down as the number one supporter of investigations into the Biden crime family on the forum here...you'll find my repeated claims on here... ya'll like to play the game, but you don't like to be shown wrong... and that comes from "publicly available information" you speak of

    The difference between Trump and crime boss Joe Biden is, Trump has been investigated multiple time and no charges brought against him.. "show me the man, and I'll show you the crime" is never better coined than here..


    Crime boss Joe Biden and family have never been touched by investigations.... so thus no charges against him..... even after "publicly available information" that meet the threshold of "reasonable suspicion" need for the DOJ to start preliminary investigations into further criminal activity, such as influence peddling.... knowingly participating in a failed coup and insurrection to spy on an American citizen and then an attempted overthrow of a duly elected president... blackmailing a foreign country with US tax payer money, abandoning American citizen behind enemy lines.... I have a full list of Joe screwups if you'd like me to share them with you...

    How funny.... TRUMP is the one saying he will be arrested, not the man doing the arresting, Bragg... Trump is playing us all like a violin...he is a very smart man.. He literally has blown the internet up with something that has not happened yet.... he is calling their hand...

    It is truly laughable when some claim it is not political..
    Soros also donated $1 million to Alvin Bragg’s successful DA campaign in Manhattan.

    New Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg campaign pledges to focus on Trump investigations
    https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/20/politics/bragg-new-york-trump/index.html

    Bragg was most recently a chief deputy attorney general at the New York Attorney General’s Office where he says he helped sue the Trump administration more than 100 times, and led the team that sued the Donald J. Trump Foundation, resulting in Trump personally paying $2 million to an array of charities and the foundation being dissolved.

    Oh! I could not agree more. Barr's DOJ should definitely be investigated for corruption.

    You are confusing me with you. If Congress investigates the DOJ, it's a win-win for me. They will either PROVE that there is some sort of corruption, and corrupt people will go to prison. Or they won't, and yet again Republicans will find themselves exonerating Democrats, like they have had to do so many times with Hillary. Maybe somebody could take her place as the most exonerated politician person in history.

    You see, even though it is a bit bothering that Republicans keep squandering taxpayer money in these investigations, the two possible outcomes (guilty or innocent) EITHER one will make me happy.

    Most Democrat politicians are not in it "to help the little guy" ultimately. They might have those thoughts when they started, but after they get to Washington, it's all about staying in office and getting rich and powerful. To be fair, that applies to many Republicans too.

    You can look at the list Lyndon Johnson, Bill Clinton, Obama and Biden. They all came to Washington with modest means at best and are now all wealthy.

    Followed immediately by . . .

    Thank you for proving yourself wrong in a single post -- denying that you do something and then immediately doing the very thing you said you don't do. That takes talent.

    This is a state case, not a federal case.

    Here ..... try reading the context of my post.... instead of the silly game you are playing with it...

    ""You never rely on publicly available information? Ever? You sure about that?"" show you are grasping at straws when I answered "not me"...

    Try reading the context of the post you were responding to. And if your claim about Biden leading a crime family isn't based on publicly available information, then what IS it based on?

    Speaking of context, you are completely missing the context of the question in the first place. You whined about people calling Trump a criminal when he hasn't been convicted yet . . . and you did the same thing to Biden. I'm not sure what you are having trouble understanding. It's not a complicated thought.

    I'm happy you say you agree. But please don't confuse my position with yours. I have said FOREVER that every single criminal should be brought to justice. You, on the other hand, have complained about Trump (and others) being accused of crimes. So my position is consistent. Yours appears to only apply to anything that does not land a proven criminal like Trump in prison.

    They can and are writing off the foundations funds. They can write off up to 30% of them.

    If they donate those funds, sure. That's how donations work. You can do the same thing. They aren't getting rich by writing off donations.

    My complaint is not Trump being accused many time ... My complaint is you can't indict him many times..

    "And if your claim about Biden leading a crime family isn't based on publicly available information, then what IS it based on?" It is very much based on "publicly available information" as I claimed... please show us the investigations based on ""publicly available information" and the Biden family...

    "" I'll go down as the number one supporter of investigations into the Biden crime family on the forum here"" and that comes from "publicly available information" you speak of"..... it don't get any simpler than that .

    March 21, 2023 will go down as the best day for Democrats since January 6, 2021.

    The message from this is clear. If you oppose the Democrat Party, they will use to the legal system to break you even if they have to crawl up your rectum.

    I am not a Trump fan, but this bites.
