Let’s start at the very beginning…
Dough. Raise. Me.
PS. The Von Trapps had talent. Do any of the Von Clownsticks even know how to ride a bicycle?
Other elements of the inaugural committee appear to have suffered from sloppiness, with multiple revisions on the organization’s FEC filings and scores of donors still undeclared.
It’s not sloppy when it’s intentional.
"Trump’s inaugural committee appeared to serve as a conduit for Republicans and others who had sat out the Trump campaign, expecting him to lose, to pay for a way back in. “Now anybody who wasn’t in, they need to find a way in,” the Boston Globe quoted an anonymous Republican fundraiser as saying.
“It’s a well-worn path for anyone who was on the wrong side,” a member of the inaugural committee told the newspaper.
Loyalty to Trump and Money. The most fundamental Republican values.
SOO at least tRump can claim his inauguration has spawned more scandals than Obama’s did.
These people are so corrupt, they don’t know how to do ANYTHING legally. Just stuff the suitcase full of money, drop it off and don’t tell us where it came from.
Jobs, jobs, jobs.
“SOO at least tRump can claim his inauguration has spawned more scandals than Obama’s did.”
He’s also had more affairs, paid off more women, had more bankruptcies, totally clowned Obama in hours of TV consumed – and the contest for “read fewer books”? He owns that one.
Definitely a better president.
FIFY 
This is Gilded Age stuff, rampant corruption with the wealthiest running wild. A person like Trump, greedy to the core and too stupid to realize there were risks involved, would naturally set his administration up literally from the first day as a huge international influence auction.
So would all these Republican donors that hadn’t backed Trump for the nomination, did not donate to him through the race between Hillary and Trump, and now had to pay to play were any of these guys other Republican’s sugar daddies? Is this why “regular” Republicans in Congress cave to Trump and his whims and wishes, because their money masters had jump on board quick?
A 30 year criminal Enterprise that has like a whirling vortex sucked in everyone who touched it.
Donald won’t be the only one regretting that ride down the escalator.
Now somehow Pence was able turn a blind eye to what was going on, how? Did any of this dirty money end up in his secret bank account? Is this why he always stares so adoringly at Trump?
Oh yeah , I remember

Jacket off in the oval office…

OH THE HUMANITY
How did we survive
More than his whole eight years. They’re going to have fun with this one.
The article headline suggests that scandals now “begin” to revolve around his inauguration. I would imagine that the investigations into the funds transfers, the grift, the influence and the illegalities have all long ago been cataloged and characterized and the appropriate authorities are engaged now in corroboration and further ensnarement of all the playahs of this corrupt episode of the maladministration.
A tax filing for 2017 recorded $500,000 in legal expenses.
This may be worth a separate story, Josh
Not really disagreeing but honestly this way outdoes the Gilded Age. “It’s as if J. P. Morgan had been elected president’’ in the words of Boston College historian Patrick Maney.
I think it’s actually worse than that, J.P. Morgan was many things but not an actual cheap con man like Trump, Morgan was a philanthropist, while the closest Trump ever got to that was his bullshit “Foundation” that was actually a (now officially criminal) scam to line his own pockets.
Sometimes people wonder gosh, why would Trump be so reckless about all the corruption and risk his presidency, but that’s getting it backwards. The corruption was the whole point, Trump really did see the whole thing as one big grifting opportunity.
And not just Gump. Until eight months ago Broidy (along with Cohen) was national deputy chairman of the RNC’s finance committee. He resigned four days after the FBI raided Cohen’s office.
