After bombshell reports dropped on Thursday morning that the New York State attorney general’s office had filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump‘s hilarious Foundation, the president issued a wild tweet-storm blasting “sleazy New York Democrats.”
The New York Times reported:
The New York State attorney general’s office filed a scathingly worded lawsuit on Thursday taking aim at the Donald J. Trump Foundation, accusing the charity and the Trump family of sweeping violations of campaign finance laws, self-dealing and illegal coordination with the presidential campaign.
Trump attacked the lawsuit shortly afterwards on Twitter, taking aim at former New York attorney general Eric Schneiderman (who resigned in disgrace after allegations of his abuse were detailed in the New Yorker) and boasted of his foundation’s charitable efforts.
“I won’t settle this case!” Trump wrote, which is a hilarious statement to make from a guy that always says that right before he settles cases.
The sleazy New York Democrats, and their now disgraced (and run out of town) A.G. Eric Schneiderman, are doing everything they can to sue me on a foundation that took in $18,800,000 and gave out to charity more money than it took in, $19,200,000. I won’t settle this case!…

….Schneiderman, who ran the Clinton campaign in New York, never had the guts to bring this ridiculous case, which lingered in their office for almost 2 years. Now he resigned his office in disgrace, and his disciples brought it when we would not settle.

Trump also fit in an attack on the Mueller investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russia.
“Now that I am back from Singapore, where we had a great result with respect to North Korea, the thought process must sadly go back to the Witch Hunt, always remembering that there was No Collusion and No Obstruction of the fabricated No Crime,” he wrote.

So, the Democrats make up a phony crime, Collusion with the Russians, pay a fortune to make the crime sound real, illegally leak (Comey) classified information so that a Special Councel will be appointed, and then Collude to make this pile of garbage take on life in Fake News!
