And most all the legal expenses will be paid directly out of his reelection fund. He is entitled to use his campaign funds to defray his mounting legal expenses which are not covered by the federal government.

And his base will find it because they see him a victim of Democrats. I'm so sick of hearing how he's such a victim.

I've nor seen any but I'm not in DC.

Interesting.

The company, DB Capitol Strategies PLLC, focuses on political action committee treasury and Federal Election Commission compliance law.

Curious he would create an actual PAC....

There are ways to obfuscate the owner by having an agency's info there though.

1. Run for office, beg people for money ( and/or sell your self to the Russians, even better)
2. Get into office, announce your RE-election PAC, get money.
3. Set up a Legal Defense PAC even BEFORE you break lies that the public can see. Get money.

OTOH... everyone deserves a legal defense, and defense lawyers have to eat, too, and if a SuperPAC is raising this money, there's a better chance the lawyers will actually get paid instead of stiffed like every other Trump contractor.

What's the difference between Donald Trump and a catfish?

One is a scum sucking bottom dweller that feeds on garbage, and the other one is a fish.

I can't stand the man, nor would I put his using the situation to make $$, but from the disclaimer I tend to think that this is more likely to be done by some Trump humper or fellow snake oil salesman trying to make money off the less intelligent of Trump's base.
