Another reason I don’t donate to things.

The congressional one was established a decade ago.

By allowing a hostile takeover of the DOJ we have decided that violating the emoluments clause is perfectly fine and nothing should be done about it. Don't be surprised when the other guardrails fail.

??? nobody said this wasn't wire fraud, silly

Another spectacular steal from Frauderalissimo Trump and his minions...

Any company intending to donate to that clown show knew exactly what was going on.

America 250 was unaffiliated with Trump's ego project. There was genuine deception, here.
BadAsprin
and thats probably the end of it

it's only wire fraud (or fraud or embezzlement, or whatever action of stealing money) if you are condemned by a judge for it. If the laws aren't apply, they might as well don't exists

It's only wire fraud if it's from the Wiré region in France, otherwise it is just fake news. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Different day, same corruption!

SCOTUS ruled the law doesn't apply to Donald J. Trump, remember?
CaldariBob
"Any official action he takes is perfectly legal."
"But who defines what's an official act and what isn't?"
"Not our problem... lower courts can decide that. THEN we'll rule them wrong if it goes against him!"

Meet "Even Strategies Inc"
This company Trump has major stock in, and is owned by his allies. He uses this company to plan all his "Events."
Including his Rallies, Gatherings, and the Great American State Fair.

If laws aren't enforced, they don't exist.

There is no line Trump can cross when Americans will do anything. Cowards love Trump.

Just another Tuesday in magaland. The con man will con till someone stops him. And that has yet to happen.
CallMeMcGyver
Not just him, them... all of them.
usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
Because of course. trump.

It's not wire fraud because the group doing it currently controls the organization that says who did wire fraud.
PickleRiiiiiiiiiiiiick
Thats the USPIS jurisdiction. Which supercedes the postmaster general. The USPIS is the oldest federal police in the US and operates pretty much over everything else.

It turns out "checks and balances" was referring to something more literal.

"The Founding Fathers always intended for the president to be able to give out incorrect banking information in order to enrich his organizations instead of money going to the right place!" - At least 6 of the SC in a few months, most likely :/
VosperOfAntarctica
The police have investigated the police, and have found that there is no evidence of police misconduct
ServerMonkeyKing
Or, more accurately: determines which wire fraud cases they actually follow through with prosecution (and poorly at that considering their current track record for prosecution of pretty much anything).
icanseethefnords
nothing will be done about this :(
UprootedGrunt
I could see some lawsuits that go the donators way...but will be paid by the taxpayers.
IMakeLotsOfReferencesAndRemakes
I promise you something will... the question is just how many must suffer first.

With some piping, corrosive materials, a fuse, and a trebuchet, we have a chance of making the right people feel it.

Don't forget a match to light it.
