How is this not a campaign finance violation?

How is anything he’s done not fragrantly illegal?

He can spend all his money on legal fees. There's nothing wrong with that. The Stormy Daniels issue was because it wasn't a legal fee, he just lied and said it was.

Maybe, just maybe, if you'd quit criming, you wouldn't have to spend so much on legal fees.

Of course, asking Trump to not crime is like asking a fish to not swim.

That’s $40M less spent on destroying the country

He doesn't pay his lawyers according to their claims. Where is this money going?

[-] SamDuede@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

That seems like kind of a lot.
