Trump campaign solicits illegal foreign donations despite warnings

[Vulcan]

07/16/16 02:27 PM EDT - Donald Trump's campaign is still soliciting illegal donations from foreign individuals – including members of foreign governments at their official email addresses — weeks after the campaign was put on notice by watchdog groups.

Foreign members of parliament from the United Kingdom and Australia confirmed to The Hill that they received fundraising solicitations from the Trump campaign as recently as July 12 — two weeks after a widely publicized FEC complaint issued on June 29 by non-partisan watchdogs Democracy 21 and the Campaign Legal Center.

These latest campaign finance violations were first reported by the investigative website "WhoWhatWhy" and have been confirmed by The Hill. The Trump campaign did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

Terri Butler, a progressive Parliament member in Australia, told The Hill in a telephone interview Friday night that she was surprised to continue receiving fundraising solicitations from the Trump campaign at her official government email address.

She shared several of these emails, including one dated July 12 asking her to make a "generous contribution" to the Trump campaign.

Making a serious mistake in assuming that just because the democrats do it, he can too?

[Vulcan]

Trump is a democRAT.  He's running as a Republican because the gullible will support him and they do.

The democrats won't treat him like a democrat and he won't get a pass. They'll treat him like a redheaded republican stepson.

Just wonder if Eric the mouth breathing moron is behind this?

They'll treat him like a redheaded republican stepson.

A role that he seems to relish.

Democrats don't do this so publicly.

Of course he assumes he'll get away with it.  He's a Democrat, and he thinks like a Democrat, so it's all he knows.

The problem is that the airheaded plurality of "Republican" primary voters have encouraged him to do whatever he darn well pleases.

The worse and more corrupt his behavior, the more they like it.

That's the other part of the reason he's being brazen about this.

That was a year ago, and it should have been an automatic disqualifier.

Wait till a friend of Clinton at the IRS releases his taxes for him.

You know its coming.

[Gov Bean Counter]

Yep mouth breather. Perfect!

Trump's long and recent history of being a liberal democRAT should be a disqualifier. 

But he said he was going to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it so nothing else matters.

I'm still trying to figure out how is going to make Mexico to pay for the wall.

He can't.  But that doesn't matter to some.  All they care about is he said he would.

Funny I remember in how we use mock politicians with empty promises..

Funny I remember in how we use mock politicians with empty promises..

And we mocked flip-floppers, democRATs liberals and morons.

Trump is all that and more yet some worship him and rabidly attack those who won't.

It's as bad Obama worship or worse.  Obama admitted he was a liberal democRAT.  Trump and his supporters deny it.
