    Don’t you need to get paid to make bank? I thought he stiffs all the staff. I know lawyers are more careful now, but the good ones don’t touch him anyway. The maga ones are true believers and aren’t in it for the money.

    Saying that, I think a lot of the grifting is to pay for legal bills, so it would be interesting to see how much is going to legal bills.

      I bet a lot of his current legal bills are being paid by his campaign. Which might not be legal, but when has he let a minor detail like that stop him?

        He has a legal defense public action committee, but there was recent allegations that money was siphoned from his campaign to restore the PAC’s coffers. Evidently it was depleted to less than 20% of what it was a year before, indicating motive for the campaign funding crime allegation. Since the PAC is public, so is there accounting ledgers.
