Trump Is Fundraising For Legal Help Fighting A ‘Stolen’ Election. Nearly All The Money Is Actually Going Elsewhere. | Talking Points Memo

The Trump campaign has been unrelenting in recent days with its all-caps, bold font, exclamation-point-ridden fundraising appeals: “THE DEMOCRATS WANT TO STEAL THIS ELECTION!” “We can’t allow the Left-wing MOB to undermine our election.”

Even if the dinosaur is dying it can still roll over on you. Be careful out there.

Yes, all of this and -

Pompeo and Barr may well have a different agenda. They’ll make theater for Trump and keep him stirred up so he won’t listen to family et al about conceding. Why? For them it’s not a coup, it’s a desperate need to cover up any number of Trump illegal acts they witnessed or facilitated. They have tracks to cover. Smart thread here:

Stealing money is all trump understands. Someday …I hope someone will do what is right and bring this thief to account
Edit
I would be happy should someone hold trump to account for the thousands of refugee families ripped apart by this sadist. At least find the hundreds of kids still separated. And hold trump to account for the tragedy of covid that he failed to control. The shame is deep and so very lasting.

The Trump campaign did not immediately return a request for comment.

“We refuse to comment until TPM contributes to President Donald Trump’s election integrity defense.”

“ Calling leadership PACs “notorious” for being abused as slush funds,”
I suppose it could also be used to buy (or extort) political protection.

Right, and it may take a detour but guaranteed that eventually, any funds arrive in The Turnip’s pocket. After all That Family has a history of helping themselves to “charity” funds, inauguration funds, etc.

Is it legal to have a PAC while still president? I figured he’d do this but thought he’d be out of office when he did. I suppose that keeping alive the idea of a Restoration will get the donations flowing in and maintain his “relevance” in the Nation’s conversation. For the sake of the country I hope he is ignored. Attention is his energy source.

When Trump leaves office with all the money the RNC will be bankrupt.
Not one of the thousands of cowards will say a word.
