| University of Utah finds legal case to impeach Trump |
| 2016-09-26 |
| Ahhh... Yellow Journalism at its finest! Much like Yellow Snow... (KUTV) Researchers at the University of Utah say there's a strong case to impeach Donald Trump, should he be elected as president. Law professor Christopher Peterson Who?? said he found ample evidence to charge the Republican candidate with fraud and racketeering, both of which are considered felonies within state and federal law. But of course there is no evidence to charge or impeach Hillary. In his analysis "Trump University and Presidential Impeachment," Peterson looked at Trump University, where students spent close to $30,000 to learn about practicing real estate. The for-profit college advertised curriculum and instructors chosen by Trump that promised students a high-caliber and selective experience. But Trump University, according to Peterson, was unaccredited and taught students get-rich-quick schemes. The school closed in 2010 but still faces numerous lawsuits that could cast a shadow over his presidency, Peterson said. I'm not familiar with Trump U but did it ever claim to be accredited? "In the United States, it is illegal for businesses to use false statements to convince consumers to purchase their services," explained Peterson. "The evidence indicates that Trump University used a systemic pattern of fraudulent representations to trick thousands of families into investing in a program that can be argued was a sham. Fraud and racketeering are serious crimes that legally rise to the level of impeachable acts." I don't know. If the University of Utah is accredited - this professor doesn't say much for accreditation. Perhaps not being accredited is a good thing? |

| #6 #4 - only the GI Bill and PHS/DoD/BIA doctor/medical programs. "In the United States, it is illegal for businesses to use false statements to convince consumers to purchase their services," aka Obamacare. Remember its not illegal when 'we' do it. |

| #4 Good luck getting that through Congress. I'm also for cutting all federal funds to the University as well. |

| #3 Gee, it it's so serious and the school closed in 2010 that means there has been no fraud in 6 years and yet no lawyers have started cases that have proven it. I don't doubt that there may have been some misleading but this really sounds like cheap, dirty politics. |
