Just talking to a former IRS official about this. He was amazed at the range of the violations here. "They hit an extroardinary catalog of how *not* to run a private foundation. There’s little else he could have done that would have made it worse." https://t.co/349rMIV8rr

Key takeaway in NY AG suit. There are ways semi-corrupt/corrupt pols use foundations/charities as piggybanks with no fingerprints. These facts show a complete indifference to those "best practices." Complete indifference/lack of familiarity with following the law.

Man, the New York AG included in their petition an actual picture of a note that is clearly in Trump's handwriting directing his charitable foundation to use funds to settle a legal issue involving Mar-a-lago. Trump can deflect all he wants; that's clearly illegal.

How weak was the oversight in Trump's charity, which he used as a piggy bank? One of its board members – for more than a decade – didn't realize he was on the board https://t.co/8dJhX6CjtE pic.twitter.com/X7GeMJV4NK

A good thing for news companies to do this week: Publish an estimate of reporter-hours they spent on Clinton & Trump foundations in 2016
