If half that $107 million was spent on actual services or tangible goods I’d be very surprised.

Trump’s got that magic Porta-Potty touch. Everything he touches turns to shit…

But not before you pay $10,000 to lease the Porta-Potty for a week.

Gates and Cohen are both talking. Some of this information should be pretty readily available.

Why would anyone trust anything the WSJ writes? It’s the New York Post in a suit.

Sure, but it’s hand tailored, from the finest of fabrics.

Is there any question Trump directed them in the grift?

The first time Trump paid attention to any of this was when he read about it in the newspaper. The story revealed that Trump’s very own transition team had raised several million dollars to pay the staff. The moment he saw it, Trump called Steve Bannon, the chief executive of his campaign, from his office on the 26th floor of Trump Tower, and told him to come immediately to his residence, many floors above. Bannon stepped off the elevator to find Christie seated on a sofa, being hollered at. Trump was apoplectic, yelling: You’re stealing my money! You’re stealing my fucking money! What the fuck is this?

Seeing Bannon, Trump turned on him and screamed: Why are you letting him steal my fucking money? Bannon and Christie together set out to explain to Trump federal law. Months before the election, the law said, the nominees of the two major parties were expected to prepare to take control of the government. The government supplied them with office space in downtown DC, along with computers and rubbish bins and so on, but the campaigns paid their people. To which Trump replied: Fuck the law. I don’t give a fuck about the law. I want my fucking money. Bannon and Christie tried to explain that Trump couldn’t have both his money and a transition.

Both Murdoch rags. I wouldn’t trust either of them as far as I could through an Abrams tank while embedded in quicksand.

The WSJ reports that Wolkoff expressed concerns on the recording regarding Hargrove, deputy inaugural chair Rick Gates, and the committee’s chairman Tom Barrack.

It’s time to bring in Tom Barrack to testify under oath. I’m willing to bet he’s got some receipts on Trump.

Not a bad rate for the one with the gold plated seat.

Thinking of the wall, and everything we know about The Rump, contractors and vendors would be fools to bid on the project. Even if they are on the take, as no doubt many will be, they must’ve seen how often and how quickly Rump will cast them aside.

You’d be surprised how much this stuff costs.

Plus they had to scour every truck stop for miles around so they could present each woman there with nylon panties rolled into the shape of a rose.

I think SDNY has some receipts on Tom Barrack… guessing he’s some form of co-conspirator!

Man, I wonder if old Tom Barrack is feeling like the frog in the pot of water that’s warming up a couple of degrees ever few minutes. His name is getting dropped an awful lot lately and not in a good way.

Right about then the $25 mil Trump U. settlement was paid. Just one of those odd coincidences.
