Trump: I am not worried. I have many many more tax loopholes that I can exploit. I am way too smart for anyone in this country. Putin agrees.

“In a comment to NBC News, which first broke news of the letter, the Trump campaign cited what it alleged were the “political motives” of New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D) in pursing the investigation, while adding that the charity plans to cooperate.”

Karma is a bitch…

Note that this action comes in a time period of a few years when New York state has been tightening scrutiny on nonprofits and requiring them to be much more carefully run and audited, precisely to avoid problems like self-dealing, insider dominance, and looting of funds.

If you’re taking pleasure in someone else’s misfortune and that someone else is DJT, the freude is not that schaden. But if you want to think simply nicer, happier thoughts for a minute, here are some cute kittens:

The fauxdation has 15 days to

provide certain documents required to be filed by organizations that solicit contributions, including audited financial statements and annual financial reports. It also must file any “delinquent reports” for past years within that time frame.

It’s doubtful there’s someone in the pathetic trump organization who can multi task, i.e. run a campaign and research years worth of documents, so which do they put on the back burner.

@mattinpa I didn’t want to state the the obvious schaenfreudy aspects of this, glad you did, but are there no cute puppies in your basket.

@kendyzdad If anyone needed reminding, Schneiderman’s the guy going after trumpet after the election for the TrumpU fraud. Citizen trump vs the State of NY. Can’t wait.

The New York Attorney General’s office sent the Donald Trump Foundation a cease and desist letter Friday pointing to its apparent solicitation of outside contributions without being properly registered to do so.

If Chiselin’ Trump’s foundation can no longer solicit outside contributions, then it’s gonna go broke!

The irony is completely lost on the Trump campaign that on the day he promises to change the FBI and DoJ so that they would have arrested his opponent, Hillary Clinton, they are complaining about politicized investigations.

I thought TOG just LOVED cease and desist letters. Isn’t that his favorite ploy?
