How Trump Moved Money to Pay $100 Million in Legal Bills
Trump supporters poured money into his effort to challenge his 2020 election loss. That fund has paid lawyers to defend him in his legal battles.
So Trump moved money around from one PAC to another, all in the hopes of juggling some of that money into his own pocket. It would be a real shame if some investigative journalist were to track down all of those different transfers and discover some of them were against FEC rules. A darn shame.
The FEC has been aware for years that Trump is doing illegal things; it just has enough loyalists installed that it's been giving him a free pass because he's above the law.
Over 10 years ago Colbert did an entire series showing how PAC money can legally be moved into a politician's personal account.
I’m all for it, but I’ve recently become jaded as to the consequences of it. He’s stealing money again! What are they going to do? Just ignore it harder?
I’m so tired of our frayed legal system.
Oh, he's been reported a bunch of times recently for violating campaign finance laws. Problem is, the FEC just keeps declining to investigate any of these reports.
What do you want them to do?
Their jobs?!
Imagine being dumb enough to send your extra income to pay some rich assholes' lawyers for him. Except that 50 bible, Jesus was all about prestige bibles.
And where's the news? I do hope Americans are aware that PACs and SPACs do not have such regulations to prevent them from being used in this way. If Trump wants to spend the money buying Funions and Funkopops, he can. Sorry, if the PACs that are in no way affiliated with Trump personally want to do that, they can.
