NBC’s Today Ignores Possible Lawbreaking In Interview With Trump Campaign Chairman

Speechwriter Who Claims To Have Helped With Melania Trump’s Speech May Only Work For Trump Organization

http://mediamatters.org/blog/2016/07/21/nbc-s-today-ignores-possible-lawbreaking-interview-trump-campaign-chairman/211784

"NBC Today hosts Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie did not press Paul Manafort, chairman of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign, in an interview about whether the speechwriter who took responsibility for plagiarism in Melania Trump’s Republican National Convention speech was employed by the Trump campaign or the Trump Organization. If it’s the latter, that may be a violation of federal law."

"According to The Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/07/20/did-the-trump-campaign-violate-federal-law-by-using-a-trump-organization-speechwriter/?postshare=521469036580007&tid=ss_tw), if Trump’s campaign “used corporate resources” to help with Melania Trump’s speech, “that could be illegal.” The Post quoted Lawrence Noble, general counsel for the nonprofit Campaign Legal Center, and reported, “If the campaign used corporate resources ‘willingly and knowingly,’ the offense is a criminal one.” The paper explained Noble’s rationale: “If she was working for the campaign,” it would have been legal, “but it seems clear that she offered to resign from her theoretically unrelated Trump Organization job.”

Imho, This is a serious matter that brings up the fact that it should be fully investigated in order to find out what role the speechwriter played. An effort to find out should be forthcoming.

No it is not because Trump Corp is a private corporation and candidates are allowed to self fund.

Good grief? I can't believe you Democrats have the Balls to talk about Law Breaking when you have a Women that according to the FBI Director and the Inspector General Committed several Felonies, but was too Stupid to understand that she was committing them!

But did she break any laws to be indicted and arrested for it? No? Then end of story, period.

Actually you need to listen to the Director and Inspector again. she broke several laws, they just came to the conclusion that she was not intelligent enough to know that she was breaking them.

So you should be happy, your candidate that is running for President of the USA was not smart enough to know what is Classified and that destroying Government property is illegal.

That is something to build on.

You still don't get it and perhaps never will. The emails that were used WERE NOT CLASSIFIED AT THE TIME. Why do you always fail to add that to your screed?

And you fail to understand what Comey said;

"There is evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton’s position, or in the position of those government employees with whom she was corresponding about these matters, should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation."

According to the director of the FBI several of them were Classified at the time they were sent and received.

Are you saying that he is lying?

And you are proving my other point. She is too Stupid to understand what information should be classified? Some of it was Top Secret for goodness sake.

And you think someone that does not understand what information is important enough to be considered Classified is actually qualified to be the President of the USA.

And none of this even mentions the Clinton Foundation and the Selling of access, that is an on going investigation.

Well you know, words like "...should have known..." just doesn't cut it. So quit the crap already. Tell me, specifically, what law Hillary broke.

[maineman]

how do the Hate Hillary clones make a thread about whether or not Trump fucked up by using corporate assets to work on a political campaign become a thread about Hillary's fucking emails? Start your own (thousandth) thread about that. Let this one be about what it was supposed to be about.

Again, the e-mails were not classified at the time they were sent as has been brought out many times before. But I ask you, what SPECIFIC LAW did she allegedly break? If you can't answer that then don't even try justifying your prejudice any longer against Hillary Clinton.

[TrueBlue]

alley? nah.... hershey highway.
Well uh, actually.....http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/icq/rofl.gif I think you've just hit the nail on the head! http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/big_standart/biggrin.gif

Does she work for one of his publicly Traded companies or for a private asset? that is the question.

But even if she does it will be an accounting issue. I hope that they hold him to the letter of the law, because that will back fire on the Democrats because they just let Hillary off on several felonies.

So you believe that Director Comey was lying. That does not surprise me Democrats generally hate law enforcement.

Because you can't have it both ways Either Comey is a liar, or Hillary is.

[zelmo1234]

alley? nah.... hershey highway.

So you are admitting that you are a fudge packer? I always suspected that.

Comey is certainly entitled to his opinion now isn't he? It's a free country.

No need to, your own words are making the case for Hillary's incompetence handling classified information.

An opinion backed up by 10s of thousands of emails and a year long investigation.

That in the end resulted in No Indictment against Hillary Clinton! Very telling and speaks volumes as to the fact that there was nothing law-breaking that they could actually get her on! http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/standart/grin.gif

Speaks volumes to her incompetence, and yes that's very telling.

If the Espionage Act is ignored, I don't see why anyone would get upset about Campaign Finance laws. National secrets v. elections. :wink:

Can't you trash libs find anything real to harp on?

Ok, she got away with it. You or I would not have received the same treatment, but then neither of us are above the law.
