Former President Donald Trump has been relying on campaign donations to his various affiliated PACs to pay down his massive legal costs, according to a new report.
On Tuesday, the New York Times' Maggie Haberman reported that Trump has primarily used his "Save America PAC" as a means to pay the various legal teams defending him amid four criminal indictments in three separate jurisdictions. According to the Times, the PAC was originally fueled with small-dollar contributions from his supporters as he sought to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
Between money from Save America PAC and Make America Great Again PAC — which Haberman described as "an outgrowth of [Trump's] 2020 re-election committee" — the Times estimated that Trump spent approximately $50 million of donor contributions on paying defense lawyers. Additionally, Trump replenished his PAC accounts through a complex scheme involving refunds between the two entities.
Fear not, his brainwashed minions will bail him out no matter how often he shits the bed. They BELIEVE!
Every once in a while a charismatic despot with the power to sway weak minds is spawned - Pol Pot, Jim Jones, David Koresh, Adolf Hitler. Donald Trump is from that exact same mold.
The flat earth crew have nothing on the MAGAts. They have surrendered their ability to reason and replaced with blind conviction.

Why would I be ashamed of it? 50/50 choice and I choose Trump It’s called free world and free choice You as lawyer should disbar yourself for denying that choice

I can choose to eat a lump of dogshit by the side of the road, but that doesn't mean I should not be disgusted and ashamed of myself for doing it.
I'm not a lawyer anymore. I retired ten years ago. My official Alaska Bar status is "suspended" for non-payment of dues. Why pay dues if you're not practicing?

Rolland does Alaska not have senior or inactive status up there?
That way you maintain your good standing, but do not have to pay?
Now, if you are not going to do any work period I get it. However, most state bars provide folks of distinction (older) with good standing for no dues through senior or inactive status.
Feel free not to respond.
