money goes directly to Sekulow, his wife—who has made more than $1.2 milion as CASE’s treasurer and secretary—his sons, brother, sister-in-law, and other firms associated with the family, as well as to finance loans and media-production ventures associated with the family.

. . . contracts that instructed telemarketers for Christian Advocates Serving Evangelism (CASE) to urge retirees on fixed incomes and others who said they could not afford a donation to find it in their hearts to contribute a “sacrificial gift.”

Another day, another horror story about the depths of human depravity associated with Trump.

Going back a few years, a friend and neighbor told my wife and me about encountering a disenchanted telemarketer who had worked for this jerk. He quit in disgust when he and his colleagues were told to encourage people who might be desperately poor or aged and no longer playing with a full deck to donate.

Is there any way to compel restitution in this situation?

Frog-marching them to a brick wall, and offering them a cigarette and blindfold? That kind?

And soon the lawyer will need to be getting counsel for when Mueller shows up

Sure. After. But I was thinking of money, esp. the excessive salaries paid to relatives—

He learned well from his mentor Pat Robertson.
I’d love to see a piece profiling the folks who donated to his “charity” You wonder if it they are embarrassed or are ok because it’s for “the cause”.

Trump has confused getting a lawyer familiar with defending the type of crime he’s accused of with getting a lawyer who’s committed the crime he’s accused of.

I have come to the conclusion that he was a poor addition to Trump’s team, although I wasn’t sure at first. That he is unqualified, legally, goes without say. What I didn’t know is that he is a pampered princess who can’t stand to be contradicted. The interview with Chris Wallace was really something.
This story fills in the background about what sort of person Sekulow is.

Isn’t that the Latin motto on Trump’s new coat-of-arms?

This guy and his ilk… like the white “televangelist” who has those commercials, featuring African-Americans, hawking “Miracle Spring Water” that brings you money. Disgusting.

Actually that is simply how the Republican mind works.

Religion: effective means to control and grift ever since…forever.

Read up on him, he’s a pure grifter. The ACLJ is the same type of organization. He and Pat Robertson started it with the intent of making it a “Christian ACLU”, but after trying to push the boundaries and losing all their cases, realized that instead of filing lawsuits, it was a lot easier to ask for money to do so and just keep it yourself.
