Watch while Trump supporters, so critical of Hillary's supposed self-dealing, are just fine with Trump's



Chris, in all things related to finance, ALWAYS, materiality is important. It isn't about nitpicking. It is about things that are material in amount and/or nature. And things that not disclosed.

Every transaction in the Trump Foundation, and every accusation leveled, is well documented and relatively small in amount. OTOH, Clinton's misdeeds are substantial and frankly, far more egregious in terms of the character of the incident.

In Trump's case, a check was written out of the wrong account. Is it self-dealing? I don't know. But he paid the administrative penalty and that really is the end of it. Maybe the governor of NY's witch hunt can turn something up but I doubt it. It really is a non-event. No one can be charged with a crime. There was no wrong doing. It is just an administrative mistake and is penalized accordingly. The penalty has been paid.

In Clinton's case, these things are far more serious. It appears to have a series of fraudulent acts committed in a conspiracy. And it involved high-level federal officials. Not the same thing. At all.

This is not a difficult concept to understand.
