As far as vain politicians go, New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is one of the worst.
He’s a guy who probably has a mirror above his bed, just so his own face is the first thing he sees in the morning.
Since he swept into power five years ago, Schneiderman
has been the type of shameless media hound that makes even other
politicians squirm. He never seems to meet a camera he won’t pose for,
or come across a TV interview he won’t do.
He is, in short, everything America hates about politicians.
But right now Schneiderman
is doing something truly unforgivable. He has become the central figure
in an apparent plot to ruin Republican presidential nominee Donald
Trump just weeks before the election.
And no voter with two working brain cells should fall for it.
Over the past several weeks, we’ve seen
countless emails proving that the Clinton Foundation was practically
selling access to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The fallout
has become so serious that former President Bill Clinton has promised to
resign his position with the foundation if his wife is elected.
It’s the kind of political wound that
should be fatal for Hillary Clinton — and that should be drawing plenty
of attention from folks like Schneiderman. But lo and behold, a story
was “leaked” to the press recently that the Trump Foundation was under
investigation for impropriety in New York.
And if you’re guessing that information came right from Schneiderman’s office, I’d bet my shirt you’re right.
So what exactly did the Trump Foundation do to warrant such heavy scrutiny?
Apparently, the trouble started when it made one… yes, one… political donation through the foundation, which isn’t allowed.
Was Trump trying to hide the donation? Of course not. For God’s sake, the foundation has his name on it.
And, ultimately, the donation is a fairly minor infraction that drew a very small fine from the Internal Revenue Service.
So why is Schneiderman so deeply involved in an investigation that even the IRS didn’t think was terribly serious?
I’ll tell you what — let’s come back to
that. Because to REALLY understand what’s going on here, we need to
take a minute to appreciate exactly who Schneiderman is.
He’s a self-interested politician, an
unapologetic mouthpiece for Hillary Clinton, and a man who is backed by
powerful financial interests looking to take Trump down.
Schneiderman is the man behind New
York’s current litigation against Trump University. He’s also accepted
thousands in donations from partners in a law firm that is waging a
class-action suit against Trump University.
That alone should be enough to make
us all look suspiciously at Schneiderman — the same way you’d look
suspiciously at a fox caught in your hen house with feathers in its
mouth.
But worse still, Schneiderman is a
member of Hillary Clinton’s New York leadership team — and his
announcement of the Trump Foundation investigation couldn’t come at a
better time for Clinton.
Schneiderman, ever the politician,
claimed he tried to keep the Trump Foundation investigation quiet. But,
sure enough, as soon as CNN came calling for an interview, there he was —
decked out in his Sunday best, spilling the beans.
So, again, why is Schneiderman so
interested in such trivial potential infractions from the Trump
Foundation? Well, there appears to be some political calculus going on
here — a man reasoning that what’s good for Hillary Clinton’s career
will be good for his own career as well.
As media outlets like the New York Post have
claimed, Schneiderman may have his eye on the governor’s seat — or
more. And helping take down Trump will win Schneiderman a lot of favor
among the Old Guard New York Democrats, who put the Clintons on a
pedestal.
This isn’t just a career move for
Schneiderman — it may be part of a personal vendetta. Trump previously
filed an ethics complaint against Schneiderman, essentially claiming
that Trump was shaken down for a large campaign donation, and that
Schneiderman still wasn’t happy.
Don’t be surprised if some major
announcement about the Trump Foundation comes from Schneiderman’s office
before Election Day. Maybe a copy of the press release will be sent
with gift wrap and a bow to Hillary Clinton’s campaign headquarters.
But this ruse only works if people
fall for it — and none of us should. Because the investigation into the
Trump Foundation is nothing more than politics… and politics at its
very, very worst.
So typical of the Democrat Party. Where is the investigation of the Clinton Foundation? Oh, I forgot, it’s off limits. Makes me sick. I hope and pray Trump becomes our next President. We need someone who loves country more than the self and will shakeup politics as usual.
