As i suspected, the real reason why Parscale has not been fired.....

He knows where all the bodies are buried..........Trump can't dump him, knows too much and is laundering for him.




Because he continues secretly paying the wife of one Trump son and the girlfriend of another $180,000 per year using campaign money funneled through his personal business.

“They can’t fire Brad,” the adviser said. “He’s the paymaster.”

And of course the girlfriend is Don Jr's, Kimberly what's her name.

But...he has also put ex-WH staff on the campaign payroll.
Now that the Trump Foundation was shut down, the trump family had to find another source of income, cause we know by now the hotels/golf courses are not doing well.
Thus the creation of the 2020 PACs, which, if you remember, he announced 2 seconds after the Inauguration.

Kimberly Guilfoyle, the girlfriend of eldest son Donald Trump Jr., and Lara Trump, wife of middle son Eric Trump, are each receiving $15,000 a month, according to two GOP sources who are informal White House advisers and who spoke on condition of anonymity.

They were unsure when the payments began but say they are being made by campaign manager Bradley Parscale through his company rather than directly by either the campaign or the party in order to avoid public reporting requirements.

“I can pay them however I want to pay them,” Parscale told HuffPost on Friday, but then declined to comment any further.

Critics of the arrangement, including Republicans, said the setup was designed to get around Federal Election Commission rules that require campaigns, political parties and other committees to disclose their spending in detail.

“A lot of people close to Donald Trump are getting rich off of his campaign,” said Paul Ryan, a campaign finance legal expert at the watchdog group Common Cause. “They don’t want donors to know that they’re getting rich. Because, at the end of the day, it’s donor money.”

and also, isn't Parscale's company billing the campaign an exorbitant amount also?

You've got John Bolton on TV announcing all these crimes Trump committed.

Do you really think they're afraid of Parscale.

Barr would ship him off to Gitmo.
