Wonder what the DeWines and HANDS TOGETHER got in return for their extreme generosity?
...maybe it was a gesture of goodness and humanitarianism.
🤷♀️
Or not ...that’s for you to decide.

Let’s look into HANDS TOGETHER...in relationship to Mike and Fran DeWine.
Prior to becoming a Senator...and then current Governor of Ohio, Mike DeWine was the Attorney General for the state of Ohio from 2011-2019.
The DeWines had been hosting annual fundraisers for HANDS TOGETHER since 2000. The proceeds from these events were supposed to go to the Becky DeWine schools in Haiti.

All charities have to register in any state for which they do business.
The problem is..it was found out in 2016 that “HANDS TOGETHER” was an UNREGISTERED CHARITY in the state of Ohio.
If you get special 501C3 tax exempt status....and you are unregistered...you are breaking the law!!

Allegedly, a “DeWine aide” discovered the oversight involving Hands Together Inc. during the time DeWine was state attorney general.
One of the duties of Ohio’s ATTORNEY GENERAL is to enforce Ohio’s charitable laws.
That includes a law requiring charities that raise money in Ohio..to be registered.

Why didn’t DeWine do anything about it all those years?
DeWine claimed ignorance. He said he had been over in Haiti for 12-13 years prior and had “no idea” HANDS TOGETHER was “unregistered.”
Right...
You are the Attorney General for Ohio, and one of your responsibilities is oversight of charities...and you claim ignorance???!!
The article that discusses uses this matter was written in 2014👇

In that article they stated, “Assisting charities to get their registration up-to-date was part of O’Donnell’s job, and that she had done it for countless other charities...not just HANDS TOGETHER.
Additionally her office bought a special “registration database” in December 2011, to help make compliance easier.”
Over all those years she didn’t catch the error? We are talking about at least 5 years that the error was not caught. I wonder what/who made her finally “catch the error?”

Were there other charities/NGOs that received special treatment from Mike DeWine?
YES!
This will all make sense when we connect the dots!

Ted Coley of the Ohio State Department had the duty to certify international adoption agencies for the U.S.
He also had the duty and right to cancel them...if any were found to violate the law.
On Dec. 16th, 2016 Coley cancelled the international adoption license for
European Adoption Consultants (EAC) formerly of Strongsville, Ohio (Cleveland).
He cited 18 violations. See images above.

EAC had been in operation since 1991.
No one noticed they were doing anything bad until Dec. 16th, 2016? WHY???!!!
Remember...Dewine was the attorney general. This was something he had oversight over during entire tenure as AG from 2011-2019.
What took so long for the curtain to be pulled back on European Adoption Consultants?...
Because...Mike DeWine covered it up when he was Ohio Attorney General. WHY MIKE???
His office was responsible for regulating state charities.
And protecting the public from fake ones.
Instead, DeWine shielded the Strongsville adoption agency from criminal prosecution, promoting child slavery instead.
He did this with the help from his Chief Advisors: Ann O’Donnell and David Yost.

In June 2017, while DeWine was still the AG, and the details of the European Adoption Agency violations were brought forward, Dewine was forced (probably reluctantly) to sue them as part of his duties. I wonder if Trump had a part in forcing his hand?😁
Dewine had to sue the European Adoption Agency on behalf of the families, who lost money paying adoption fees into this scam charity.
