John Dowd, Trump’s lead outside attorney, was a bit more tart when
Reuters asked about how Trump was covering his legal bills, saying only:
“That’s none of your damn business.”

Well it is our “business” and the amounts are legally required to be made public.

President Donald Trump is using funds donated to his re-election campaign and the Republican National Committee to pay the team of outside lawyers representing him in the various probe into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.

Chiselin’ Trump probably also used these same funds to make any payments on his $1 million Hurricane Harvey relief donation pledge. Has anyone followed up on that?

Well duh! Of course he isn’t going to spend his own money on this. How could anyone who knows anything about him believe there was even the slightest possibility he wasn’t going to pay his legal fees with OPM?

$4.5 million in legal fees in 8 months? Wow. And the poor folks voting for him think he is great, ethical and a model for society in general!

“Other attorneys helping Dowd work on the probe include conservative constitutional lawyer Jay Sekulow and special White House counsel Ty Cobb…”

The Star Wars bar scene of legal brilliance.

Trump has spent over $4.5 million of campaign funds on legal costs from January through June.

Chiselin’ Trump, Oct. 31, 2016: “If Hillary Clinton is elected, she would be under protracted criminal investigation and probably a criminal trial, I will say. So we have a criminal trial for a sitting president [and] in the meantime, [Russian President Vladimir] Putin… and all of the other leaders — all of these people will sit back and they will laugh and they will smile.”

So now, today; just today, mind you; we have Trump threatening to destroy North Korea and pull out of the Iran nuclear agreement along with diverting campaign funds to pay for his Russia-related legal expenses. But Hillary was a hawk who’ll start WWIII, gave speeches to Wall Street, met with ‘dodgy’ Nobel Prize winners for her charity, and wore pant suits.

SMH.

This is wonderful news! Let Trump keep spending campaign funds in exorbitant amounts. When the 2020 campaign starts in earnest, he’ll be broke and just might have to spend his own money.

You’d think the people footing the bill would demand better lawyers. It must suck to know your donations are going straight into the bank accounts of a bunch of blundering buffoons.

Hopefully by then he’ll be doing his banking with cigarettes.

Fire up your Rolodexes, RNC, because this isn’t going to be cheap. Before long they’re going to run up bills in the child-wager range, you know, where you say Oh yeah? Well I bet you a million billion kachillion gazillion dollars and all that.
