As a NYer, I'm very proud that our State AG, Eric Schneiderman, has led the charge against Trump U, which was just another Trump Ponzi scheme-much like his candidacy.

However, two other state AGs considered also prosecuting Trump U but decided to look the other way. In a total, unrelated coincidence, Trump then gave both of the money.
"One example of recipients of Trump's largesse being there for him seems to relate to fraud investigations into his fake university."
"That's what Jeff Horwitz and Michael Biesecker report for the Associated Press in their story on fraud probes into Trump University by state attorneys general:

"That's what Jeff Horwitz and Michael Biesecker report for the Associated Press in their story on fraud probes into Trump University by state attorneys general:
"As scores of students complained that Trump University was a ripoff, the Better Business Bureau in 2010 gave the school a D-minus, its second-lowest grade. State regulators also began to take notice."
"The office of then-Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, a Republican, opened a civil investigation of "possibly deceptive trade practices." Abbott's probe was quietly dropped in 2010 when Trump University agreed to end its operations in Texas. Trump subsequently donated $35,000 to Abbott's successful gubernatorial campaign, according to records."
"Eric Schneiderman, the attorney general of New York, launched a lawsuit against Trump University in 2013 that is still pending. And Horwitz and Biesecker report that "Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi briefly considered joining with Schneiderman in a multi-state suit against Trump University."
"But it ultimately didn't happen:
"Three days after Bondi's spokeswoman was quoted in local media reports as saying the office was reviewing the New York lawsuit, the Donald J. Trump Foundation made a $25,000 contribution to a political fundraising committee supporting Bondi's re-election campaign. Bondi, a Republican, soon dropped her investigation, citing insufficient grounds to proceed."

In other Trump U news, Trump actually intends to reopen Trump U after he the decision which he claims he will win.

"Donald Trump on Thursday vowed to reopen Trump University, the beleaguered real estate seminar business that is the target of multiple lawsuits and has become a new favorite attack line for Hillary Clinton."
"After the litigation is disposed of and the case won, I have instructed my execs to open Trump U(?), so much interest in it! I will be pres." Trump tweeted Thursday.

Think about what the media would say if Hillary Clinton bragged about how well the Clinton Foundation will do after she's POTUS. And at least the the CF is a philanthropic organization unlike Trump U which is nothing but a nasty scam much like his entire candidacy is.
You're talking about 40,000 people being ripped off and angry enough to join a lawsuit.
That is is my challenge to all media pundits if they have the balls to hold themselves accountable. Never judge anything Trump says or does-or has said or done-with a more forgiving standard than you would Hillary Clinton.
If this were the case his candidacy would probably be over.
