        For real tho, how is whatever is happening right now like, legal? How can he publicly fundraise for his individual criminal legal “needs” and have SuperPACS pay for all his personal legal needs. In short, I guess what I’m asking is What the fuck?

        Lol, what other defendant can/could ever act this aggregiously to no avail

            I just don’t get how he gets to be enriched, in a sense, with a PAC paying his personal (not political) expenses, like shouldn’t that money be for his “campaign”? 🤔

              Please research “Leadership PAC“. Then the dispute between the FEC and how most interpret the law.

              In short, it is currently allowed and people need to stop thinking that all types of PACs are governed by the same rules.
