WASHINGTON (AP) — Florida's attorney general personally solicited a political contribution from Donald Trump around the same time her office deliberated joining an investigation of alleged fraud at Trump University and its affiliates

The new disclosure from Attorney General Pam Bondi's spokesman to The Associated Press on Monday provides additional details around the unusual circumstances of Trump's $25,000 donation to Bondi.

The money came from a Trump family foundation in apparent violation of rules surrounding political activities by charities. A political group backing Bondi's re-election, called And Justice for All, reported receiving the check Sept. 17, 2013 — four days after Bondi's office publicly announced she was considering joining a New York state probe of Trump University's activities, according to a 2013 report in the Orlando Sentinel.

After the check came in, Bondi's office nixed suing Trump, citing insufficient grounds to proceed.

Trump gives Greg Abbott $35,000 and Pam Bondi only $25,000.

Even when he's bribing people he still pays women only 70 cents on the dollar compared to men.

I feel like this is the fourth or fifth time this story has popped up over the last year, and everyone just sort of reacts with a "meh" and moves on to how corrupt Clinton is.

It's kind of amazing that an actual smoking gun for Trump gets next to no attention, but Bill talks grandkids with Loretta Lynch and everyone loses their damn minds.

Damn, I thought I was getting deja vu. Thanks for saving me 5-10 minutes.

WaPo had a piece about this today and how the media treats him differently. Trump’s history of corruption is mind-boggling. So why is Clinton supposedly the corrupt one?

Crooked Trump?

But let's talk about what Clinton MIGHT have done...

The problem is everyone already basically knows Donald Trump is sleazy as shit--he was an Atlantic City casino magnate for Christ's sake!--so it's hard to generate more than indifference toward his business-related shenanigans.

I'm sure there's some subset of Trump voters who don't know he's a career scumbag, but they're obviously really good at dodging headlines and basic common sense, so there's a pretty high chance they will never see this.

but he's honest! He tells it like it is! He's not like the rest!
