Trump Files Early With FEC For 2020 Candidacy, Outmaneuvers Nonprofits
1/30/17 | William Craddick / FR Posted by T Ruth

A document from the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) indicates that Donald Trump took steps last week to outmaneuver nonprofit organizations, leaving them unable to officially campaign against him over the next few years of his Presidency.

Filed on January 20th, 2017, the letter states that, while not an official announcement for reelection, Donald Trump has filed an FEC Form 2 in order to “ensure compliance with the Federal Election Campaign Act.” This is an unprecedented, although legal, move for the President to make. Barack Obama did not file for his 2012 re-election bid until April 2011.

Having filed (even if not formally announcing a bid) as a candidate, Trump would be able to coordinate with PACs and other similar organizations.

More importantly, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations would no longer be able to engage in “political speech” which could theoretically affect the results of the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election without running the risk of losing their nonprofit status. The move effectively bars interest groups from creating nonprofits which they could funnel money into for the purposes of opposing Trump’s initiatives.

This will likely create chaos for political opponents of Trump such as George Soros, who has sunk significant amounts of money into various nonprofit groups with the intent of opposing Trump’s government. How 501(c)(3) organizations will comply with the FEC’s regulations when participating an actions which qualify as political speech remains to be seen.

The move is consistent with Trump’s campaign promises to reduce the financial influence of private special interest groups on Washington.

Keep in mind, Trump is nudging his yet-unnamed ambassadors
to urge the respective countries to look into their govt's dealings
w/ the Clintons and the nefarious Clinton Foundation:

<><> foreign govt donations to the Clinton Foundation,

<><> govt donations to Hillary's campaign (illegal),

<><> the Clintons meddling in foreign elections,

<><> big buck speeches,

<><> consulting gigs for Bill,

<><> insider business deals,

<><> deals for Clinton cronies and insiders...and so on.

==============================================

These same ambassadors might also be nudged into looking into Soros' foreign activities. The buzz is Soros established "non-profits" in about 1000 foreign localities.

Soros numerous n/p's should be scrutinized as to an electronic/paper trail for money-laundering, tax-evasion, govt fraud....and so on.

Soros needs to be exposed.

Podesta-Soros Master Plan - How To Take Over America - 2008 And Beyond!
Common Sense Evaluation / FR Posted by gaggs

Wikileaks Email ID 59125 exposes Hillary's campaign manager, John Podesta, and George Soros Master Plan on how to take over America in 2008 and beyond!

It’s all there in the memos, the whole scheme… taking over the economy, protracted war, dividing Americans and controlling the media. (Excerpt) Read more at commonsenseevaluation.com ...

The crucial point here is that arch-villains Podesta and Soros are linked together. Soros is under the radar but Podesta has been more visible.....

THANKS TO PODESTA'S ENDLESS EMAILS we know
(a) Podesta has carpel-tunnel syndrome, (b) several govt pensions, (c) is cashing scads of govt checks, (d) is a fixer for the rich and powerful.

Podesta has been close to power for years, effortlessly getting numerous top level, high-powered govt jobs, and he even controls the media.

Seems Podesta got rich trading on insider info, and is paid off for his powerful positions, receiving valuable stocks in a Russian-connected energy company (verified to date).
