$325,000 between greedy grubbers. Photo ops with the President of the US when he’s not golfing.

OK…they are ‘scrupulous’ but they still accepted $325,000 from someone they didn’t know and for what. Oh yeah. Didn’t your Mama ever tell you there was no such thing as a FREE LUNCH???

I thought that this question became completely irrelevant a long, long time ago?
That recent resignation of a GOP member of the FEC may well have been a strategic move by the Trump team to totally cripple the agency’s already deliberately flawed structure# and its ability to enforce always weak campaign finance laws. (#Six FEC members - 3 Dems and 3 Repubs so on any substantive issues, votes are usually ties and nothing happens. Right now, w the latest resignation, they don’t even have enough members for a quorum and GOP won’t race to fill vacancies)

TPM: This Miami Attorney, Russ Jacobs…what does his social media profile look like? They represent condominium type folks, i.e., prime candidates for money laundering via real estate transactions overpaying for each unit in multi-unit transactions. The proceeds for such sales would “wash” through his firm’s IOLTA account.
https://realestatelawyerruss.com/firm-overview/
“Russ represents a range of clients from a publicly traded real estate developer in the Fortune 500 to individuals purchasing multi-family buildings, office space, retail shopping centers, warehouse space and gasoline stations. Russ has a specific expertise in condominium development and representing condominium associations.”
Now, this is not to say he’s “in on it” (although it would be hard to believe he’s not well aware of FMV in the area and what a red-flag purchase price might look like), but that’s my suspicion as to what the money represents and where it comes from.

In other words; if you put it on dirt, Russ knows how to help you buy it, sell it, protect it, refinance it and manage it.
Russ knows dirt! I do hope he runs late-night TV ads in his market, I’m sure they’re super classy.

That is an awsomely convoluted and entertaining story. Got to love America. The best government money can buy.

$325K for a photo with Trump & Spicer seems rather pricey.

He wasn’t the one paying it. He was just a pass-through who’s “payment” was committing or assissting in the commission of a criminal act to ingratiate himself and earn that face time and perhaps some favors from the people behind the money, who were in turn buying Trump’s favor.

IANAL, so I don’t understand how attorney-client privilege applies here. Unless there is a US identity provably at the beginning of the 3-card-monte chain of transfers, this is a presumptive foreign contribution and the people who facilitated it are co-conspirators.

Two words - forensic accounting. I can’t believe a forensic accountant (or team of such) hasn’t found anything yet.

I am sure there was a player to be named later involved in the trade…
