Yes.
At first I thought, “Why isn’t Trump himself offering to help out?” Then I remembered that a) he’s probably nearly broke; and b) for him, loyalty to him in no way guarantees reciprocity, even if he did have money.

Perhaps if they had ignored these folks from the beginning they wouldn’t be in this position…

Yep. And the guy doesn’t even know how to spell “Schlep”.

This should be called the “Fifth Amendment Fund.” As we all know from Mafia movies, if everyone keeps quite (or is kept quiet in the Hudson) nobody goes to jail.

What is “more than aware”? Super aware? Mightily aware? Really, really aware? Woke?

"Ex-President Donald Trump’s team is collaborating with American Conservative Union (ACU) chair Matt Schlapp to decide which of Trump’s former staffers who’ve been subpoenaed by the House Jan. 6 committee deserve some financial help, according to CNN.
The legal defense money comes from Schlapp’s ACU-run “First Amendment Fund.”
The ACU chair told CNN that he’s “in communication” with Trump’s team about who will and won’t get help from his pool. The ex-president himself is “more than aware” of the fund and is actively encouraging people to tap into it, a source told CNN."

Maybe they needed to find a workaround for that:

Oh, no, you have it wrong: in German schlapp means (among other things) “limp” or “floppy”, which isn’t necessarily the wrong adjective for many of these GQP types.

Yeah, they don’t seem to realize that they are being setup to take the fall for any criminal activity. Then again, if they were smart they wouldn’t have participated in the insurrection in the first place.

Texas Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) is the last rank-and-file lawmaker on McCarthy’s lawsuit after more than 150 Republicans removed their names — many have themselves voted by proxy as the pandemic has dragged into another calendar year. Roy told POLITICO in December that the removal of names didn’t impact the constitutional argument he and McCarthy are trying to make, but acknowledged that having plaintiffs who used the proxy voting process could have hurt the party’s argument.
Hard to argue a practice you’ve done on numerous occasions is unconstitutional, eh?
