Given that the crazy regressives still think tax avoidance is a crime, I have zero credibility regarding any of their business investigation... zero.
In fact, given they raise this point it's probable that Trump is the biggest philanthropist of all time. Usually these people tend to come to the conclusion that is OPPOSITE of the reality. A special skill if you will...

7 Things You Need To Know About The Clinton Foundation
2. For an organization that is supposedly a charity, the Clinton Foundation spent very little money on "direct aid." IRS documents showed that the Foundation raised over $500 million from 2009-2012, and yet the Clinton Foundation only spent $75 million on "programmatic grants."
"The other $425 million was allocated as follows: more than $25 million went for travel expenses; almost $110 million for employee salaries and benefits; and $290 million for 'other expenses,'" reports Discover The Networks.
These numbers were similar in the foundation's 2013 tax returns, which revealed that the Clinton Foundation raised over $140 million but only used $9 million in direct aid, according to the New York Post:
On its 2013 tax forms, the most recent available, the foundation claimed it spent $30 million on payroll and employee benefits; $8.7 million in rent and office expenses; $9.2 million on “conferences, conventions and meetings”; $8 million on fundraising; and nearly $8.5 million on travel. None of the Clintons is on the payroll, but they do enjoy first-class flights paid for by the foundation.
In all, the group reported $84.6 million in “functional expenses” on its 2013 tax return and had more than $64 million left over — money the organization has said represents pledges rather than actual cash on hand.
Indeed, Form 990 shows that the Clintons used the money raised by the foundation to pay for their travel expenses, which included "travel by charter or in first class."
"The Clintons get nothing from the foundation except free travel on chartered jets and first-class airline seats and hotel stays and, oh yes, control over a giant operating budget to steer to the charities and good causes that they prefer," writes National Review's Jim Geraghty. "Practically nothing!"
4. The Clinton Foundation's donors include countries with awful records on women's rights. Via Geraghty, these countries include:
Saudi Arabia's laws are especially horrendous towards women. The Week lists nine things women can't do in the country, which includes swimming, driving and playing sports.
The Clinton Foundation had started the Full Participation project, which was aimed "to expand women’s access to contraception and education, increase their involvement in the workforce, and fight child marriage," according to Geraghty. And yet the foundation took money from countries that treat women as second-class citizens.
I can keep going. Like I said don't throw stones in glass houses.

We know that 650,000 emails were found on Weiner's computer - because the request for warrant said so.
Nothing else matters ... they don't have to be classified, Hillary didn't have to send them .... we know this: a person not authorized access to State Dept data (for which Hillary Clinton was responsible) had access to 650,000 State Dept emails.
Nothing more has to be said.

No one has accused Trump of breaking the law ... the worst that has happened is somebody has bitched because he used a LEGAL loophole to avoid paying taxes.
Doesn't sound like a crime to me ... can you say the same about 650,000 emails?

He is still under audit, but besides that he is using campaign money to fund himself.
Technically he might be able to get away with it, so it remains to be seen if he will be charged with some kind of fraud. Besides the Trump University trial, which is another matter.
