Questions raised about Trump hanging out with Philadelphia mob boss

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Add to the list of sketchy characters Donald Trump has been agreeable to meet with -- and then pose for a picture -- reputed Philadelphia mob boss Joseph “Skinny Joey” Merlino.

The Philadelphia Inquirer has come into possession of a photo of the former president clad in golfing attire and his traditional "Make America Great Again" red hat posing with Merlino -- but no one in both of their camps seems to want to answer questions about it.

The photo can be seen here, with the Inquirer reporting that it was taken at Trump International Golf Club West Palm.

According to the Guardian, Merlino is a Trump supporter who previously served a major part of a 14-year sentence for racketeering, and in 2018 was sentenced to two more years for running an illegal gambling operation.

4. Is there even a question? I don't have any; it's exactly what I'd expect.

Birds of a feather and all that.

5. Either Trump is clean or there's something else going on.

There's been allegations for a multitude of crimes but nothing sticks, why?

8. Jay Sekulow said Merlino flipped Philadelphia votes for Biden.

From The Enquirer:

Merlino was pulled into Trump’s orbit in the weeks after the 2020 general election when a website known for trafficking in misinformation falsely claimed he had been paid $3 million to help Joe Biden win Philadelphia with thousands of fake ballots.

Jordan Sekulow, an attorney who had served in late 2019 and early 2020 on Trump’s legal team for his first impeachment, gave that false claim a public boost by tweeting a link to the website.
