Roh roh....Trump left Jeff Sessions off invite list to Camp David

The Department of Justice said on Friday that President Donald Trump did not invite his maligned Attorney General to a legislative discussion group at Camp David this weekend.

Asked if Jeff Sessions would be heading to Camp David for the working weekend to talk over 2018 legislative priorities, a justice department spokesperson answered only, "We weren't invited."

Trump invited 24 people to a meeting "for a small-group discussion of 2018 legislative priorities," Buzzfeed News' Chris Gardner tweeted Friday afternoon.

a year he was NOT running for office.

and the GOP took over about 6 million from the same source.
which goes a long way in explaining Graham's recent attack on the author of the Steele report.

Technically, the money was legal, since the donor had dual citizenship.
but it is also very suspicious, esp. in light of so much money going to Repub. who were not even running.

Remember, any funds that go into a political PAC and are not spent, can be transferred to your pocket via a shell corp. that you set up. Once out of the PAC, the money is not traceable. You can funnel as much money as you want as long the shell pocket is listed as non-profit.

Colbert explained how that works, on his show once, I took careful notes.

payola that can be transferred to buyoff people who are supposed to be working for us. I wouldn't know where to begin to look for these payoffs whose trail hits a roadblock.
