Trump paid off more AGs in his Trump University scandal

Posted: Sep 7, 2016

Current Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, investigated Trump University when Abbott served as Texas attorney general. After Abbott dropped the investigation, Trump donated $35,000 to his gubernatorial campaign. According to The Huffington Post, former Deputy Chief of Consumer Protection John Owens, who worked closely with the Trump University investigation, called the probe “an extremely strong case” — only to have the case dropped. Abbott’s successor, Ken Paxton (who remains in the spotlight for a number of other fraudulent charges), issued a cease-and-desist letter to Owens after he made copies of a 14-page internal summary detailing Trump University scamming millions of dollars from Texas students. “The decision not to sue was political,” Owens later told the Dallas Morning News. The scheduled meeting between Texas officials and Trump representatives for the $5.4 million settlement never even occurred. ;

Nice try - no cigar. Clinton Foundation makes TU look like - a Sunday School picnic.

It won't wash, you know.

Pay attention. If you apply the same standards to the Clintons, they are the ones in jail, not Trump.

You pay attention - sickofitall

Here are just a few of the things linked to Trump that are not played up by the press. Both of these candidates are corrupt, but unfortunately we have pretty much accepted out politicians to be less than perfect for the most part. We need to be fair in looking at Both of them and their crimes, not just the one we hate more.

• Trump’s casino bankruptcies, which left investors holding the bag while he skedaddled with their money
• Trump’s habit of refusing to pay contractors who had done work for him, many of whom are struggling small businesses
• Trump University, which includes not only the people who got scammed and the Florida investigation, but also a similar story from Texas where the investigation into Trump U was quashed.
• The Trump Institute, another get-rich-quick scheme in which Trump allowed a couple of grifters to use his name to bilk people out of their money
• The Trump Network, a multi-level marketing venture (a.k.a. pyramid scheme) that involved customers mailing in a urine sample which would be analyzed to produce for them a specially formulated package of multivitamins
• Trump Model Management, which reportedly had foreign models lie to customs officials and work in the U.S. illegally, and kept them in squalid conditions while they earned almost nothing for the work they did
• Trump’s employment of foreign guest workers at his resorts, which involves a claim that he can’t find Americans to do the work
• Trump’s use of hundreds of undocumented workers from Poland in the 1980s, who were paid a pittance for their illegal work
• Trump’s history of being charged with housing discrimination
• Trump’s connections to mafia figures involved in New York construction
• The time Trump paid the Federal Trade Commission $750,000 over charges that he violated anti-trust laws when trying to take over a rival casino company.
• The fact that Trump is now being advised by Roger Ailes, who was forced out as Fox News chief when dozens of women came forward to charge him with sexual harassment. According to the allegations, Ailes’s behavior was positively monstrous; as just one indicator, his abusive and predatory actions toward women were so well-known and so loathsome that in 1968 the morally upstanding folks in the Nixon administration refused to allow him to work there despite his key role in getting Nixon elected.

Just a part of the dirty laundry of Trump - how do you Trumpsters think he got so rich all of these years, by being fair and upstanding? That is not how you amass a fortune like he keeps saying he has - not that we will ever get to see for sure how much he has since he won't release his taxes. Still wishing for a better option!!

Neither one of them (Trump or Clinton) - are worth voting for.

sad day in America.

Incidentally, the press ignores the fact that many schools - have been sued by students.

[ In Reply To ..]
Including very prestigious schools - Loyola, George Washington U, etc.

Google "student sues university for misrepresentation" and similar phrases to educate yourself.

The anti-Trump press also completely ignores the fact that the overall satisfaction rating for TU by students has been very good.

I'm sorry, but I don't believe HuffPo any more than I beleive Media Matters but - Truthhurts

But, on February 27, 2016, an article by Leon H. Wolf in REDSTATE stated:

"There are three lawsuits currently pending against Trump in connection with Trump University. One was filed by the State of New York, and the other two are private class action lawsuits. Trump has not “won” a single one of these lawsuits."

"All three are currently pending, and none are on the verge of dismissal whatsoever. In fact, Trump is expected to be required to testify in one or more of these lawsuits as they are going on."

"Unless you are of the belief that “zero” is “most of” one hundred and fifty, then Trump is pretty much full of crap on this one."

He remarks on his time at the debate "I'm not getting paid for this."

This past month, there was much outrage over the fact that General Electric, despite making $14.2 billion in profits, paid zero U.S. taxes in 2010. General Electric actually received tax credits of $3.2 billion from American taxpayers. At the same time that General Electric was not paying taxes, many undocumented immigrants, who are typically accused of taking advantage of the system while not contributing to it by many on the right, paid $11.2 billion in taxes.

All I have seen is Hillary bashing on this site. Has anyone mentioned how brash, rude, and just plain disgraceful Trump is acting during his speeches? How he made fun of a disabled person, how he is planning on attacking China?, how he told a woman to remove her crying child from the room during one of his "speeches"? Do any of you realize he has no idea how to be diplomatic? Do you realize what will happen to the USA if he ticks off China and starts another war, especially with this superpower ...
