1. Hes once again fleecing the RW MAGA rubes

He never planned to run for re-election. Just increasing cash on hand for his own use.

2. I am pretty sure any democrat who did this would go to jail

But not a lawyer, maybe one will offer an opinion.

4. Doubtful. If it doesnt violate election law, no issue legally. But should piss off his remaining

Supporters

6. I assume it does violate election law or I wouldnt have phrased it that way. Attorneys please chim

in

Unless these payments are to dummy accounts to hide the reason.

It is hard to deal with liars and thieves, takes time.

5. Well it sure undercuts his argument the hush money wasnt campaign related. No?

[marylandblue]

7. Not necessarily

The payments could be for legitimate legal expenses, not related to Stormy.

[Eliot Rosewater]

8. Or payments made to Peter to pay Paul...may not be able to prove it but given the

players involved, likely.

3. how generous of the RNC to pay the Billionaire's legal defense

[grumpyduck]

9. An 8,700 page filing?

Who gets the pleasure of reading that? I'm not sure I would even accept $280,000 to read it.

10. Where does the above make reference to Stormy Daniels?

Or is the tweet author just assuming?
