We can cherry pick all day.
Money is what runs politics. plan and simple.
The Washington Post's David Fahrenthold, who has conducted extensive investigation into Mr Trump's charitable involvement, cites the "Palm Tree Award" Mr Trump received for a $150,000 donation he made (from his foundation's money) to the Palm Beach Police Foundation. That donation came only after the Trump Foundation had received a $150,000 contribution from the New Jersey based Charles Evans Foundation, however. When the Evans Foundation donations stopped, the money to the police charity from Mr Trump's foundation ended as well.
Mr Trump also benefited from the fact that the Police Foundation holds its annual charity dinner at Mr Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach. In 2014, for instance, the charity paid the club $276,463 in rental fees. Mr Trump often gave foundation donations to groups that were paying top dollar to hold events on his properties

Folks are still trying to determine what happened to all the money raised for the Inauguration Ball activities. In no way did the millions of dollars raised went to what we saw that evening. We can speculate about the Trump Foundation all week long. The response we'll see from his supporters are "what about the Clinton Foundation and Obama Foundation?" since many rather be blind to the unethical spending and profiting by the Trump Administration.

MSG Joseph Cristofaro - Then you misinterpreted all that I've stated. I believe Trump's nefarious business style ensures there are plenty of drones doing the dirty work so he can claim plausible deniability. I believe if this investigation does prove any American guilty of felony crimes then we shouldn't be offended by that. I also believe all this "what about Clinton" misdirection has nothing to do with the information revealed by Fusion GPS. You claim the dossier contains false information yet dismissing that intelligence agencies have confirmed some of that information is substantial and led to other leads they've been investigating. Just like the Podesta and DNC emails, Conservatives didn't care how WikiLeaks obtained them as long as investigators were able to collaborate some (not all) of the information in the emails. We should treat the Fusion GPS opposition research in the same manner. Yeah, Fusion GPS as a private contractor has worked for other clients including Russian ones as well as GOP clients; so what's your point, you'll accept they worked for a Russian lawyer but not accept they worked for a GOP donor or representative of a GOP campaign?
News reports stated Fusion GPS fed CNN reporters half-baked and false information after the election? Sounds like a Brietbart and Fox News report. Good thing all that investigators are looking at is what's in the Steele report and Congressional testimony of Fusion GPS representatives, not what is being reported daily by different news sites.
Trump is doing enough on his own to disrupt his presidency. He doesn't need anyone else's help. No one makes him say, tweet, or do things daily that attracts media and social media attention. How can you do your job when you're busy tweeting attacks and derogatory comments? Dems, media, Mueller, and Fusion GPS aren't making him do that.

MSG Joseph Cristofaro - And this is why the Mueller investigation is significant in determining any American citizens committing a federal crime during the political campaign. Papadopoulos testimony and emails with Trump campaign officials will determine if any attempts to coordinate with foreign agents indeed occurred. Don't listen to me, listen to Sen. Chuck Grassley who's leading the Senate Intelligence investigation that Daily Caller is citing false reporting.
"Republican Senator Chuck Grassley today said President Trump “should let the special counsel do his job.” That was Grassley’s first comment to reporters in Washington, D.C. soon after the revelation that the man who served as Trump’s campaign chairman for five months was indicted."

MSG Joseph Cristofaro - Hahaha! Yeah I've been watching. Not surprised at all. I preferred Bernie also but still not naïve to vote for Trump just cause Bernie got screwed. Funny that Conservatives are praising Donna Brazile after so much disgust towards her in regards to the infamous debate questions scandal. Hahaha! Anything to take your mind off the revelations of Americans associated with Trump campaign being indicted. I'm sure if the GOP didn't have so much in fighting, the RNC would've rallied behind one candidate and have gone all out against Trump. Corruption comes in many forms and both sides are guilty of it. Yeah I'm enjoying the show. I rather see corruption stamped out of all politics regardless of party as opposed to being complicit and ignoring the corruption in one's own party as long as I get what I want; in the GOP's case it's tax cuts, no budget, increased spending, and dismantling any good policies with Obama's name on it so they can implement similar policies with their name on it. Enjoy.

Many Democrats and Independents didn't reject Obama's presidency but then again you'll just dismiss the two elections he won by electoral and popular votes as a conspiracy. GOP controlled Congress isn't going to do anything to fix immigration, healthcare, gerrymandering, or help Middle Class. They've been the "Do Nothing" Congress since 2010 and will continue that path. Enjoy the hypocritical blame game.

Mr. Fahrenthold writes for the Washington Post and is a contributor for CNN. He is credited with 'breaking the news' with respect to the "Access Hollywood Video", and with starting the investigation into Presidents Trumps claims of donating millions to charities.
Nope. Nothing to see here. Mr. Fahrenthold is obviously a completely impartial reporter with now bias in his work. I am sure his reporting is completely above board and honest. The facts. Just the facts.
I wonder how well Mr. Fahrenthold would fair if someone checked into his finances to see who as paying him. I bet it would rhyme with "Soros".
