RNC using donor funds to pay Donald Trump’s legal bills in N.Y. criminal probe
"The Republican National Committee is paying some of former President Donald Trump's personal legal bills in a New York criminal investigation examining his company's business practices, the RNC acknowledged on Monday.
The RNC paid $121,670 to the law firm of Trump attorney Ronald Fischetti after a request from Trump's team over the summer, according to The Washington Post. The RNC's executive committee approved the payments in recent weeks, a source told the outlet. Though some in the party have urged RNC chair Ronna McDaniel to show more independence from the former president, her allies told the Post that "Trump remains the biggest fundraising draw for the party, and it is important to stay in his good graces.""
I'm not sure what's more pathetic, the fact that Trump won't pay is own bills, that the GOP will, or that GOP voters don't care.
How can GOP voters be OK with this? I'd love for one to comment.
The GOP leaders aren't dumb about this tbh, regardless of the legality. Their party lives and dies by Trump and the only reason they can keep him in line right now is through paying his bills and having every talking head constantly sucking him off. The moment they piss off Trump and he decides to make his own political party, the GOP loses every election for the next 20 years and they know it. I doubt they understood who they were getting into bed with in 2015 but they're stuck with him now. He has too much of a cult of personality for them to break away.
Biggest graft in American history since 1776. Legal bills are just few drops in the bucket. The real graft is those emails going out, those texts, those social media posts that “Trump 2024” is coming. He is going to announce his candidacy “soon.” He needs your help to “MAGA-again.” Biden’s Justice Department is going after his ilk (read Bannon etc.). We need to support them all. Click here to donate $20. If you donate $100, you will get a [Made in China] MAGA hat that costs 50c to make.
They have been averaging $14million/MONTH fundraising. It’s a presidential-level juggernaut.
The irony is he is raising this money from the people he hates the most, and he is fooling them. He is never going to run again because his fragile ego can’t even think of losing a 2nd time. He likes being a kingmaker. Everybody goes to Mar-a-Laro to kiss the ring and he writes them a check out of his fundraising haul.
He won’t leave this kind of ginormous money behind with a following of 50+ million souls and end up in a political shit show in DC like last 4 years.
"The Republican National Committee put more than $121,000 of funding towards former President Donald Trump's legal fees as he faces a criminal investigation over his financial practices in New York.
In October, the committee made two payments totaling $121,670 to the law firm of Ronald Fischetti, a criminal defense attorney Trump hired in April of this year amid the years-long investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney's office into the Trump Organization and the former president's business dealings.
One payment of $58,240 was made on October 6 and another payment of $63,430 was made on October 13, per FEC filings seen by Insider.
Though the party's executive committee approved the payments in recent weeks, the requests for the legal funds came over the summer, a person familiar with the matter told The Washington Post."
This isn't the first time the RNC has footed the bill for Trump's legal fees. In 2017, Trump used campaign funds and funding from the RNC to pay his legal bills amid the investigation into alleged Russian interference in the US election.
It is because he has threatened to leave the GOP, take 85% of the Party with him, and leave it in tatters that they are doing this. This is why they’re sucking his D. Now and forever. While Trump doing this successfully would be hilarious and sad, it would also be really, really scary. I could talk all day long about the hypothetical alternative history that branches out from him actually going for it and doing it officially!
