Made very little money. Donald is disappointed. A PAC would have been much, much more successful.

I wonder if Trump was one of the people who shelled out money for this guy to ‘represent’ him. He certainly has a lot of lawyers working for him and there was quite a bit of turnover for awhile.

But, now that he has Barr as his attorney he’s got more effective counsel.

Somebody remind me again why we can hold the punk kid grifter accountable in a rapid judicial process but the president we cannot even properly investigate.
I am glad this young man is learning his behavior will not be tolerated. Maybe it will give him a scare and he will straighten out and fly right. But how can it be lost on anyone how unfair our system is when there are one set of rules the common man and another for the powerful and rich?

Is anyone else curious about the people who paid him for legal advice over the internet? How many people? How much did he charge? What kind of advice did he give? How did he get caught? What was his motivation, besides the urge to grift?

They welcome grifters and crooks into their midst. Use to hide it under the moniker, Party of Rule of Law, but they don’t hide it anymore.
