Wonder what #3 is guilty of?

eta: Steve Wynn was the RNC Finance Chair, with Cohen & Broidy as deputies. #3, Louis DeJoy, might want to keep a low profile and find a good lawyer.

This guy Pace gets some weird stories without any sources, but they usually turn out to be true.

Pesach 'Pace' Lattin @pacelattin 1:52 PM - Apr 13, 2018

I am told that that the Trump-Cohen case may bring @GOPChairwoman down.

That she was aware of Cohen's actions in helping @GOP members in their sexual payoffs.
