It appears that there is more to the Brexit advantage to Trump. 

Trump would have us all believe that it is about British Independence.  It looks like it is more a financial advantage to the Trump business.  I would like to know what is going on here?  While I support Britain in their independence from the EU this raises some question as to what Trumps financial dealings are concerning Brexit.

Sir Roger Gale appealed to the speaker of the British House of Commons on Tuesday to block Trump’s campaign appeals.

“Members of Parliament are being bombarded with electronic communications from Team Trump on behalf of somebody called Donald Trump,” Gale said to House of Commons Speaker John Bercow. “I am all in favor of free speech, but I do not see why colleagues on either side of the House should be subjected to intemperate spam.”

Bercrow sympathized, noting that Gale must have “undergone an irritating and — some might think — exceptionally tedious experience.” He agreed that MPs should not be “bombarded with emails the content of which is offensive” and pledged to advise Parliament’s digital service to block Trump’s emails.

Trump campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

There is only one link to the screenshot and it does not work.  Has anybody got the supposed letter requesting donations?

As was pointed out on another thread its not the normal official Email from the Trump campaign but one just recently created.

It might be helpful to merge the two threads.

As unethical and apparently law breaking this may be, one, RNC MToner explains how Trump's campaign can get out of this and two, Trump is so used to daily train wrecks that his ratings numbers barely drop much from where they're at, if at all. The guy doesn't sweat none of this stuff. He'll still lose by a mile to HClinton, unless we're very surprised at the RNC convention.

Federal law prohibits donations from foreign nationals to campaigns. "It is also unlawful to help foreign nationals violate that ban or to solicit, receive or accept contributions or donations from them," says FEC guidance.
But former FEC Chairman and counsel to the Republican National Committee Michael Toner, a CNN delegate analyst, said that while the law prohibits soliciting donations from foreigners, there is also a "safe harbor" for campaigns.
"The key is for the campaign to not knowingly solicit contributions from foreign nationals and to exercise due diligence in reviewing solicitation lists and examining contributions when they are received to confirm that they are lawful," Toner told CNN.
One way campaigns can demonstrate due diligence is by getting a copy of a donor's passport photo if the donation comes from foreign bank accounts.
"All this being said, if a campaign inadvertently solicits contributions from a few foreign nationals and refunds any foreign national contributions that are brought to its attention, I don't believe the FEC would take any adverse action against the campaign," Toner said.

I am certain that Mechanicos and the Trump Militant will be along any moment now to explain to us all how this new appearance of evil is actually a legitimate business transaction and that it proves how great a leader Trump is and will be for the whole country.

Despite it being on it's face just another example of cronyism that Trump is again engaged in.

No that is not quite correct. It is a new domain but is official, it is the same one they are using for all fundraising emails. Why they created a new one for the GE is beyond me however.

Try this. Scottish MP Stuart McDonald got at least two, sent to his @parliament.uk email account (as did other British MP’s.

Oh the drama.  Right.  Like its OK that Trump is making himself a nuisance to foreign countries who have no interest in helping him.  And another thing.........Trump is asking them to make America Great again.  He sounds like Michelle Obama trashing America.  Its disgusting.  If they are showing this kind of irritation at Trump now imagine what they will feel if they have to negotiate with him as president?

First illegal.  Second they don't want to help him.  They are annoyed at him already.

I can understand if they inadvertently emailed foreign citizens’ private email accounts, if they bought an email list and the emails were sent to email accounts ending in @gmail, @yahoo, etc., there would be no way to filter them out.

But how do you inadvertently send campaign solicitation emails to members of the British Parliament at their @parliament.uk email accounts? That doesn’t sound like someone did their due diligence.

Of course actually accepting foreign donations is another matter.

And we know that Bill & Hillary’s “foundation” have a lot of foreign donors and by appearances (and not doubt correct) of selling influence via “donations” and funneling money back to themselves. Right?

But that doesn’t let Trump off the hook either.

At least HillDog is smart enough not to openly and directly solicit campaign contributions from foreign politicians.

No, they do it secretly.  No difference though.  We either have laws or we are a lawless nation.  When candidates break the laws it sends a message.

You can tell the foreigness of gmail/yahoo accounts by just asking those companies to check... for a small fee.

Are you kidding me?????  But calling us "Hillary supporters" ad nauseum on this site, isn't??

These guys are attempting to do to this board what they did on just about every other conservative board and group out there.  Even AFTER you guys gave them a safe space to converse in without any negative comments about their anointed.
