The payment was labeled as a ālegal consultingā fee, according to CNN, and could be unrelated to the Trump Jr. Russia story.
Yes, I'm sure whatever problems Trump Jr has he caught from a toilet seat.Last month. As in ālast month before the Putin kissy-face at the G-20ā they put the mob lawyer for Don-Don we were led to believe he had only just hired on retainer as a result of Jared finally coming clean about the meeting where the FSB sent surrogates to feel them out about their willingness to collude and made themselves susceptible to blackmail by taking a folder from them? Last month weeks before Tremendous Leader claims to have ever heard about that meeting.
That ālast month?ā
Yes, this is totally the way people serenely confident in their own freedom from legal jeopardy act.
Of course, they could have been paying a 50K retainer to a mob lawyer for some totally unrelated reason.
Nope, no evidence. None. None whatsoever.
One could hope for something even worse, but yet not publicā¦
If nothing else, it completely blows outta the water Trampās claim that heād heard about Dim Sonās June 2016 Russia meeting ājust a few days agoā. Either Tramp is lying or he has absolutely no control over his own campaign and how funds are spent.
Both could be true but Iād wager that CheapTramp focuses on money every waking minute.
This may be a non-issue, butā¦
The legal snafu Junior is facing stems from the 2016 campaign.
The reelection campaign fund is, by definition, for the 2020 campaign.
Can funds earmarked for one campaign be used to address legal issues from the other?
@bankerpup Looks like they can and they will.
The never going to happen 2020 campaign is right now spending its donations on enormous legal fees.
2020 campaign spent nearly $700,000 on legal fees between the beginning of April and the end of June ā more than twice as much as they spent in the first three months of the year ā according to reports filed Saturday afternoon with the Federal Election Commission.
Those donors are really chumps! My sympathy for them is pretty non-existent. Enjoy the ride on your dime!
Gosh is this one of Trumpās new ācharitiesā? Heās always redirecting money somewhere isnāt he?
50,000 for DonJr
90,000 for Trump org
545,000 for Jones Day
Jones Day? Trump campaign used Jones Day ($3.3 milllion). Several Jones Day partners are in the WH and Jones Day is looking to trade on the connection.
I will say this for Sarah Palin, she never pretended to be a multi-millionaire set to inherit billions more. Grifters gotta grift.
On the āfancy eatinā tableā
Saw his ābaseā referred to as Cult 45. Canāt think of a single better description of them. These are the same suckers who donate their last pennies to televangelists and other religious charlatans. These are the people who sent money to fund the defenses of Jim Bakker and Ted Haggard, who believe that Larry ātoe tappingā Craig was framed, who believe that Pat Robertson should be driven around in a Rolls because god ordained him to have untold wealth. These are the people who sided with the church and its priests over millions of raped children.
I hope each and every one of 'em empties their bank accounts and sends their money to Tramp. The circle of derp.
Our campaign finance laws are so fucked.
Hopefully sometime in my lifetime weāll look back and say: āWow. I canāt believe we let that happen.ā
Once Trump has 3 or 4 more SCOTUS Justices on the court candidates will be able to simply write a check and buy the Oval Office, skipping the pretense of campaigning and an election. Biggest bank account wins.
Donāt have cable; isnāt she there yet?
Did the checks clear yet? If not, Iād hold off spending the proceeds. The Great Con continuesā¦a fool and his money, etc.
Iām convinced that the whole Jesus thing is a plot by aliens to keep us so superstitious that we can never become an advanced specie.
Ken Ham keeps Jesus and Prince Albert in a can in his basement. He'd put them in his refrigerator but it's always running.A committee to re-elect a president paying the attorneysā fees of people involved in an election-related scandal. Letās see, when have I heard that before?
