Be careful what you wish for.
"Follow the money!" is the latest call by Donald Trump in his efforts to show that Hillary Clinton is corrupt.
The Republican nominee has repeatedly called his Democratic opponent "Crooked Hillary" for allegedly misusing funds from the Clinton Foundation as well as for collecting high speechmaking fees in return for political favors.
None of these allegations have yet been proven, but Trump has renewed his demand for investigations to find evidence.
"Follow the money!" he challenges.
However, his own businesses, including the Trump Foundation, have been shown in media investigative reports to use donations to what is billed as a charitable organization to support other political candidates and to pay for some of his campaign expenses.
Moreover, Trump has consistently refused to release his tax returns, claiming they are "still under audit," but won't show anything relevant anyway. Other published reports as well as New Jersey state government documents show that in some years he has paid nothing in federal income taxes. (The Internal Revenue Service has said Trump is free to release his tax return documents at any time, whether they are being audited or not.)
So now the challenge is to "Follow the money!" Suppose that were done to the Trump money trail. What will be found?
