If any of the contributors to Stacey Abrams broke law, they should face the consequences.
And if the Garfield County Sheriff broke the law, he should face the consequences.
That's kind of what "the rule of law" means...even if some of the lawbreakers are doing something that we like.
The funny thing is the person who would have been affected by this, Coram, isn’t the one crying foul. The ones crying foul are a left wing PAC in North Carolina attempting to influence a campaign out of state. They are complaining about a guy’s emails. Pathetic.
gents we have a real american 'law and order' conservative here!

So let me get this straight: If a contributor allegedly breaks the law, but the breach is pointed out by out-of-staters, that's "pathetic"? Aren't you a fan of the putative "Law & Order!" party? Shouldn't you be *glad* if someone, ANYONE, uncovers potential lawbreaking?
Or does that depend on which candidate the potential lawbreaker was supporting? You know: The law is the law, except when it's inconvenient?

So then you have no problem with Russian hackers getting Hillary’s emails to bring to light her indiscretions? Evidently you and agip have no qualms about outside influence over an election.
1) Daddy gave him the money that allowed him to be "worth 3 billion" today.
2) He would have ~4 times that if he had just taken his Daddy's money and put it in the stock market, proving that he's a horrible businessman...well that, and the unbelievable number of failed businesses he launched.
3) His net worth also comes with him stiffing anyone and everyone.
4) His "real estate empire" is mostly his name on things that he doesn't own.
5) He DID win the Presidency in 2016 in a perfect storm that allowed it, but then, as with all other things he has had a hand in, he showed epic failure, becoming the first president to be impeached twice, and the first President to lose the popular vote twice.
6) You are wanting this other poster to compare himself to Trump. I'm pretty sure that other poster wouldn't want to have all of the criminal investigations into him that are going on now into Trump. I know I wouldn't.
7) You have a weird fanboy attitude about Trump's "net worth" when Trump did NOTHING to build that and everything to make it much lower than it would have been.

law and order conservative! oh man you are a classic. How do you actually get up from bed and go through your day without laughing at yourself? Lordy. But yes, you are comedy relief so good handle.
How much did he inherit from Daddy? What would that have been worth if he'd just put it in the stock market and left for a 50-year holiday?
If it was as easy to become a billionaire as stupid people think it is there would be a lot more billionaires in the world.
hah
all you have had to do to be a millionaire is save $1200 per year into the stock market for 45 years. That's $100 per month. How many Americans have managed even that easy bit of savings? Few. Investing is very very hard for human beings. We just can't look down the road that far.

You are so unbelievably stupid. No one has said it is easy to become a billionaire. It is easy to become one when your Daddy leaves you enough to easily become one today back in 1974. How do you go through life being this stupid? That's a rhetorical question by the way.
If you Trump fanboys want to give Trump ANY credit at all, what you need to do is give him credit for making his name a household name. He was that even before he became President. He made most of the world (including me at the time) believe he was a big success, because he was great at promoting himself. New York City elites knew for decades he was not a great success though. Kind of easy to do when you're a narcissist, but he did manage that nonetheless.
Trump's net worth puts him at about 339th in the world. Definitely a LOT of billionaires ahead of him that you Trumpers have never heard of.

That's $54,000 in principal.
You would need an annual return of @ 10.5% to accum to $1 million.
Then, of course, you have to back out 45 years of inflation to get the PV of that $1million

If you invested $1200 in the Dow every year for the last 45 years you'd have $279,432.

I had read previously that Trump received about $300 or $400 million from his dad. Now, I see that he received about $413 million in 2018 dollars. The NY Times said he received $62 million from his dad many years ago so that kind of falls in line with the $413 million in 2018 dollars. I had previously calculated that the $413 million invested at the time in the S & P at historic returns (about 11% with dividends reinvested) would be worth about $12 billion today. So his wealth today is about 1/4 versus what he would have had in the market. Now that I see he only received about $62 million his net worth today fares favorably against what his return would have been in the market.
If anyone wants to see what he owns worldwide, take a lookie here:

Let's not forget that Trump also self-reports his net worth, and that goes a long way into how Forbes and others actually assign a net worth to him.
How does Trump come up with his net worth? His feelings...his emotional state. He said this. Don't challenge me on this Trumpers, or I will find the video!

You are an election denier. Seek medical help.
It would take a little over $88 MILLION invested in the stock market in 1974 to just sit on the money and become a billionaire by today.
Trump was a billionaire by the mid 1980's at the latest.
It is endlessly amusing watching you strut around having no idea you're always the dumbest guy in the room.

And he is richer than about 2,400 Billionaires in the world. When you wake up in the morning richer than about 2,400 other billionaires, then you are starting the day off well. You think?
Flagpole, are there 338 people in Toledo richer than you?

No it doesn't you imbecile.
His real estate holdings go a long way into determining his net worth.
His share of his 2 most valuable properties alone are worth a billion.

No, we have laws that say "contributions" from other countries to campaigns are illegal; we seem *not* to have laws that say contributions from other states are illegal. See how that works? How there's a difference between donations from Americans and donations from foreign nationals?
Again: If someone breaks the laws, s/he should face the consequences. But if you just don't like the laws, that doesn't mean that breaking them is okay.
Or at least it shouldn't mean that--if you're really a "Law & Order!" person.
