A ton of the money that Trump is raising for his reelection bid is going to legal fees.

I'm like a reverse Robin Hood. I take from the stupid and give to me.
Courtesy of CNN: 

More than one-fifth of the $3.9 million that President Donald Trump's 2020 re-election campaign has spent this year has gone to legal fees, the campaign's latest quarterly Federal Election Commission filing shows. 

About $835,000 in payments for "legal consulting" were made to eight firms and the Trump Corporation, with the most -- $347,000 -- going to Jones Day. Another $185,000 went to the firm Larocca Hornik Rosen Greenberg & Blaha. About $24,000 went to the Trump Corporation. 

The steep legal bills come amid a probe into whether the Trump campaign was involved in Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election as well as a legal battle with adult film star Stormy Daniels. 

In the first two months of 2018, the campaign paid $93,181.25 to the firm of Charles Harder, the attorney representing Trump in the Stormy Daniels case.

Well to be honest, this is probably a good idea since it is really hard to run for office while sitting in a federal prison. 

But don't worry deplorables, Trump isn't just wasting your hard earned money on lawyer's fees, he is also using it to support his various businesses.

Trump's campaign has also spent about $150,000 at Trump businesses, including the legal fees, per the FEC report. That includes about $68,000 at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC, to cover costs including event rental space, hotel stays and parking. 

The campaign spent another $58,000 on costs listed as "rent" divided between three recipients: Trump Plaza, Trump Restaurants and Trump Tower.

I am not certain that it is true, but I heard that if you look up the word "suckers" in the dictionary that this is the photo that you see. 

That may not be factually correct, but I BELIEVE it to be true.

    You know, if these idiots are foolish enough to give money to a campaign for a person like Trump, I really don't care if their money is used for things like attorney fees. Foolish and misguided people are separated from their money all of the time. I've even seen it here.

    Is it even LEGAL that he uses all that money from the reelection campaign fund for his legal defenses?

    The real reason lawyers are refusing to work for Donald.

    They don't want to be paid in rubles.

    =============
    since when does trump corporation do legal work?

    Is trump is paying himself for his own legal advice?

    As long as it isn't my taxpayer money I don't care, let the moronic trump supporters pay his legal fees

    Notice that since the money is coming from the reelection campaign, the attorneys are being paid.

  10. Re-election money is paying the lawyers currently trying to shut Stormy Daniels up.

    Trump and Cohen also LOST their bid to censor the evidence the prosecutors are allowed to see.

    Cohen has three “clients”; Trump, Broidy and....Sean Hannity. But according to Hannity he’s never paid Cohen.

    (Now if Hannity has never paid Cohen then he isn’t really a client and there is no privilege. Right?

    If Cohen only has Broidy and Trump as clients, how does he live? Oh, is that why they’re looking into his side businesses?

    What a fucking mess.

    In his campaign messages last year he kept bragging how rich he was and he didn't need the politician's or special interest money.
    Lil Donnie Bitch been selling himself left and right to the highest bidder.
