Here in East TN. I’ve never seen the like and much as you describe. Get the city credit card and immediately use it to purchase for personal use a pickup. Get caught, no fine, no jail, no loss of position but reimburse city 25% and keep the job, truck and F the taxpayers. Just one of many many examples I have read about since I retired to the area in 2010.

As soon as we get the occasional retraction for some of the truly shameful articles - Fox’s slobbering coverage of Michelle Fiore, The Hero O’Eastern Orygun would be a good start.
If it wasn’t a bribe would somebody tell me why a hard nosed New York businessman would give a $25,000 contribution out of the goodness of his heart. He says he made contributions in exchange for something. Bondi was investigating Trump. The money was exchanged. Bondi dropped her investigation. Trump got something. Simple case.

I’ll bet Trump is pissed that Bondi would have rolled over on the investigation without receiving any money at all.

Trump has been walking backward so much he’ll be in Russia before the election.

Bet he didn’t have a clue that she was going to drop the case before he paid the money. She courted him for weeks. What the hell were they talking about.

Keep calling this a bribe from now until Election Day. If it looks and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck. Don can just continue his weak and ineffectual denials.

“I don’t think this was a lengthy, memorable call,” Hicks said. "Mr. Trump talks to a hundred people in any given day. So, I don’t know if I will be able to provide that information. That’s not exactly a realistic or reasonable request." (Hope Hicks, Spokesperson for HO)
Oh, Ms. Hicks, it is --oh, it is. Now, do your job.

I guess it all depends on what your definition of “never” is. Language is funny that way.

Has tRump ever come back to the press and offered a more detailed explanation for anything since he first got into this race? We’re still waiting to hear all about Melania’s immigration status he promised to get back to the press about weeks ago. But that’s just one of so many promises he hasn’t come back to explain, except by surrogates offering even more lame excuses.

“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, never,” Trump said, according to the Washington Post. “Many of the attorney generals turned that case down because I’ll win that case in court. Many turned that down. I never spoke to her.”
Is it just me or is this or is HO modeling Rainman’s speech pattern?

Not just a liar, a bad liar. I agree, it’s time for the “MSM” to take the gloves off and call this man what he is. A cheat, a liar and a fraud. Where are the tax returns? Is he really rich, or does he just forget to repay all his loans? What did he know and when did he know it? Stop making false equivalencies, please.

In a separate AP report Tuesday, Hicks was unable to elaborate on the content of their conversation.
“I don’t think this was a lengthy, memorable call,” Hicks said. “Mr. Trump talks to a hundred people in any given day. So, I don’t know if I will be able to provide that information. That’s not exactly a realistic or reasonable request.”
OTOH, asking Hillary Clinton to recall each and every e-mail she sent while serving as Secretary of State is perfectly reasonable.

He could use the help.

How do you prove someones motivation for not doing something,you can’t. That’s what makes quid pro quo so easy to get away with,and why it is so prevalent in every aspect of government.

Because he is just a novice and should not be held accountable for bribery, racism, islamaphobia, or just being a freaking moron!

I don’t doubt for a minute that the phrase “Trump University Case” was never uttered. But I’m certain there was a perfectly clear understanding as to what the result of the donation would be. And reporters should NOT let go of this until there is definitive proof of what did or did not happen.
And further to the point, why isn’t Bondi being investigated for accepting a bribe???

Every time Trump mentions this story it becomes more of a story.

Because the governor is a republican?
OTOH, the PA AG got herself convicted, didn’t she. With help.
