"SNIP.......

“The Republican National Committee has agreed to cover up to $1.6 million of Donald Trump’s personal legal bills, in an unusual arrangement under which the party is paying to defend the former president from ongoing investigations that focus on his private business practices,” the New York Times reports.

......SNIP"

1. How the fuck is that legal?

I know the FEC is toothless and useless, but surely this is a misuse of donor’s funds, especially if the funds came from the RNC directly.

I know the parties can help candidates pay off campaign debts, but to pay for legal expenses unrelated to their campaigns or presidency is ludicrous.

5. He's blackmailing them...

…basically threatening the party with not backing their candidates and not going out to fund-raise if they don’t pay his freight.

17. He might not even have to blackmail them -- he is their superstar They may see him as the likely

2024 candidate. As long as some polling could show him as the most likely to get the nomination and as potentially competitive - given the new (voter suppression) rules, they may see him as their leading asset.

2. it's income to trump and he should pay taxes on it

It is also a misuse of donors' funds and just shows how cowed these idiots are.

3. Fuck 'em. Magat fools and their money are lucky to get together in the first place.

Let the idiots pay for their loser sultan of slime.

11. Trump has reportedly threatened to leave the GOP and create his own nutball party.

The loot for the legal bills is probably the result of blackmail.

13. Remember, tRump told the RepubliQonned that he himself would pay for his 2016 election campaign. nt

18. From Rachel Maddow on MSNBC - Republican Party Helping Trump Pay His Personal Legal Bills: WaPo

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1017699455

Rachel Maddow shares reporting from the Washington Post that the Republican Party is helping Donald Trump pay the legal bills for investigations into his personal business, even though Trump has amassed a fortune in political donations that he could spend on anything, including his own legal bills or the legal bills of his supporters that are being prosecuted for attacking the U.S. Capitol.

19. I'm sure TFG's lawyers are happy about this.

I mean, at least this way they know they will actually get paid.

[firefly007]

21. I guess the RNC decided Trump would be their 2024 candidate.

It makes me wonder how republican voters must feel? They don't get to choose who will represent them in 2024. Chris Christie is probably pissed. Democrats should be supporting Christies run against Trump. We need to start dividing the republican party. There are moderate Republicans who would gladly vote for a moderate republican. We need to split their party and their votes.

22. just money for TFG keep his mouth shut till after ' 22 !!

after all , he is a squealer! turn on Mikey . can't wait to see who under next !
