1. How about 100% of all fraud convictions.

Enough is enough. Incarcerate these f-n crooks.

5. A donation to Trump signed you up for weekly future donations.

I read one story where a guy in hospice listening to Rush donated $500, but they drained his bank account by pulling $500 a week out for weeks until his bills starting bouncing and family stepped in.

Thom Hartmann was talking about this on his show last fall that many of the beg emails from the Trumpies had this fine print that you were actually signing up for reoccurring donations.

My guess is that no one goes to jail because of the fine print, and many will not get their money back.

6. I'm thinking it wasn't limited to people who actually donated...

Now that the former guy has faded from the scene, the fraud phishing attempts on my phone has dropped significantly.

This was a significant revenue source for the Trump campaign.

7. They did issue a huge amount of refunds to online donors - 530,000 - worth $64.3 million...

The sheer magnitude of the money involved is staggering for politics. In the final two and a half months of 2020, the Trump campaign, the Republican National Committee and their shared accounts issued more than 530,000 refunds worth $64.3 million to online donors.

All campaigns make refunds for various reasons, including to people who give more than the legal limit. But the sum the Trump operation refunded dwarfed that of Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s campaign and his equivalent Democratic committees, which made 37,000 online refunds totaling $5.6 million in that time.

According to the article, they refunded the money using the cash from his 'legal fight' donations. (Those had fine print notices as well, noting that the majority of that money was going to the campaign account rather than a legal fund.)
