WASHINGTON (AP) First the nations top law firms. Then its premier universities. Now, President Donald Trump is leaning on the advocacy groups that underpin U.S. civil society.
Trump said Thursday that the administration is looking at the tax-exempt status not just of Harvard, but environmental groups and specifically the ethics watchdog organization Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW. It could be a devastating financial blow to the nonprofit organizations and his perceived political foes.
The presidents remarks, during an event at the White House, began to confirm what advocacy groups have been quietly warning: Trumps campaign of retribution is coming next for them.
Its supposed to be a charitable organization, Trump said about CREW, in particular. The only charity they had is going after Donald Trump. So were looking at that. Were looking at a lot of things.

Imagine what trump would have to do to his enemies if he obeyed the law, behaved himself and abided by the terms and conditions of the constitution. NOTHING. He would have no enemies.
