Here's the problem with the Trump/Bondi connection

that no one has yet mentioned. I read that Trump said his accounts payable people control all his accounts so sent a check from the Foundation because there was a charity with a similar name in another state. He said there is a whole list of charities and they just happened to see the other name so thought it was a charity. Unless he has a very antiquated Accounts Payable system, if they had the charity's name, they also had their address and would therefore have sent it to the real charity and Pam Bondi would never have received the $25,000.

I never believed his story for a moment, but it seems to me that this particular story he told can be proven not to be true.

Also Lawrence O'Donnell just announced that Trump also gave a fund raiser for Bondi at his Florida mansion at some time after he sent the check.

Not with the glee that they report email crap, but still talking about it. I hope it starts to stick.

Never watched Fake Noise,in fact business's that have that garbage on,know I will ask them shut it off or change the channel. Wouldn't be the first time we have walked out the door or leave our purchases on the counter after asking the person to please change the channel.

Does MSM really want a president tRump? They'd better think seriously about what they're doing.

It's GREAT for ratings and keeps people's attention.

There is one good thing about that. If SOMETHING doesn't keep the public attention on this race, it's very likely the Dems will loose!

I've already heard that polls report the enthusiasm by the Con's voters is 63%, the enthusiasm by Hill's voters is 47%. THAT'S SCARY!!!

I only wish I knew how to step up the enthusiasm on our side. Even if they don't love Hill, do they REALLY not care about the SCOTUS for decades to come?

The rest is CYA. What bullshit story is most believable here? Go with that one. If that fails to "gain traction" (e.g. fool people) go with another semi-believable story we will come up with.

I hope this story starts getting more play. This is how he does business. Who cares if it's legal or not?
