Whatever you gave it's not enough. He's gonna need it after the rest of the indictments come in and he loses the NY civil suit for $225 million. Open your heart...and wallet!

And will be subjected to forfeiture as you cannot fundraise off of a crime in NY. He won’t spend it on lawyers. He’s pocketing that money.

Imagine bragging about how easily grifted you are.

"Please sir, I know you can afford to defend yourself unlike the majority of people in this country, but please take my $34! I love you sir!"

So sad.

I was thinking about Braggs case driving in this morning. I know all the speculation is about trying to elevate the hush money to a federal campaign violation but it might be a lot simpler than that. I was forgetting that NY has state income tax. When Trumps personal tax return called the hush money "legal fees" it could be as simple as State tax evasion since legal fees are deductible when you itemize. The hush money payments if classified correctly would not be deductible. With multiple payments paid to Cohen and then claiming those payments to be deductible Bragg could easily stack those charges to arrive at the 32 count. There is also the issue of signing a tax return. Intentionally signing a false tax return is felony perjury.

Wow Jeb bush

Trumps DOJ ordered Cyrus Vance to stand down.
Only reason he did.

Jeb Bush trying to spout Vance could have charged Rump. Not true.

None of that really matters, IMO. He is going to take the "I was just following my attorney's(Cohen) advice" defense and it will be effective. Slap on the wrist, if even that happens.

GA case is where I think he has royally screwed himself.

Not all of the specific charges have come out yet so maybe this could be one of them.
The lawyers need to weigh in on this I guess.

If Weisselberg testified Trump told him to charge it to legal fees that will be pretty damning. BTW pgardn did you get my pm?
