Related: About this forumAnother unlawful act from Trump during his campaign
Looks Like Trump May Have Committed a Major Electoral Felony.Ben Carson endorsed Donald Trump after dropping out of the race. It seemed really weird at the time; I dont think Trumps brand of politics particularly meshed well with Dr. Carsons.
The true reason behind the endorsement seemed to have come to light now.
In a interview over at Newmax TV (Not going to give them the pleasure of a link here)
DR. BEN CARSON: I do believe, and certainly in my discussions with Donald Trump, he does love America and he does want to be successful. And, he will surround himself with very good people.
STEVE MALZBERG: And will one of them be Dr. Ben Carson?
Carson: I will be doing things as well, yeah.
Malzberg: In the administration.
Carson: Certainly in an advisory capacity.
Malzberg: That's been determined? You've, when you sat down with him that was discussed?
Carson: Yes.

Here is the video. If anyone can download this video please do so. I'd hate for them to take it down once they find out that Ben Carson admitted to the felony.
They didn't even know it and it is all the way down to about 6:00 in the video

from him.
I think Carson loves being a media (primarily Fox) pendent. He is like Trump in that respect-he loves to hear himself talk.

Saying he didn't have the experience to run a govt agency. Yet somehow that didn't stop him from running for President!

Those kinds of conversations are common in campaigns.
