Why did the Trump campaign manager who earned multi-millions in fees threaten suicide?

[bigtree]

...Parscale, w/multi-millions raked in running Trump's campaigns, is more likely to be reacting to some personal scandal than to pressures most of us face due to job loss, reduced income, or the threat and reality of the coronavirus.

Trump tax-related scandal, perhaps? Timing.

Brad's deep into laundering of Trump campaign funds:

1. Facing lots of jail time and loss of income.

So sad.

2. NYT have the goods on Parscale too?

Did a reporter call him for comment on Sunday?

25. did Parscale call the NYT?

3. Wonder if that hospital

is well-stocked with truth serum?

Seems the road to recovery goes straight through the truth.

4. Oh, he's part of some dirty dealings with campaign money, I'm sure.

That will probably be one of the October Surprises we are going to see shortly.

What dirty dealings? I don't know, for sure, but I suspect some carefully laundered kickbacks to Trump from campaign funds. Yes, i do. Dirty Donwald has many bills that need to be paid.

[GopherGal]

20. Carefully Laundered?

Maybe.
But it seems this crew has gotten away with so much for so long that they tend more toward "brazen". I mean, the funds to Lara Trump and Kim Guilfoyle were right in the campaign filings.

[MineralMan]

21. He can pretend they were doing campaign work.

However, he can't do that to money that is kicked back to him, personally, from campaign funds. That needs careful laundering (NO STARCH!).

[Andy823]

28. Exactly

and there are a lot more people involved in this, and more names will come out soon. I also wonder of more people will come forward and start spilling the bean on trump in order to cut a deal for themselves.

31. and other scandals

Channel 4 News @Channel4News
Tonight at 7pm: EXCLUSIVE: Channel 4 News investigation reveals a huge Trump campaign data leak, exposing how 3.5 million Black Americans were listed as ‘Deterrence’ - to try to stop them voting in 2016.

"Parscale, 42, began working for the Trump organization seven years ago as a website designer and media strategist. He was hired to head social media for Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. That’s when he utilized dark posts on Facebook to diminish Black voter turnout for Hillary Clinton."

6. Pascale

I don't want to sound like a horrible person, but personally, I don't give flying fuck if this con man takes himself out or not. Not with what's going on in this country.

[Piasladic]

11. No. We have to keep him alive.

What a boon to see him in person telling all the tales.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

18. Right.

We need all the Michael Cohens we can get.

[Autumn]

7. This. Money laundering of campaign donations for the Trump family.

This should be all over the news.

[Phoenix61]

8. Just guessing, he had a meeting today

with the FBI where he could either tell the truth or face jail. Telling the truth would end his career as would going to jail.

[tetedur]

9. Seems like if you're a campaign manager for Trump

you wind up in jail or in trouble with the law. Just sayin'

[bigtree]

33. he's no victim

[ooky]

10. I'm guessing we will eventually find out he has been involved in stealing.

The bigger question obviously being if anyone else was involved, and who, or if it was just personal stealing.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

12. or maybe he realized that the hair and beard make him look like an upside-down cone head.

[lindysalsagal]

15. just another wanna-be viking raider

he needs the leather and an axe and a couple tattoos.

[MineralMan]

23. Plus he has soft hands and clean fingernails.

Not a true Viking at all.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

27. well, my hands are soft, but

my fingernails are ALWAYS dirty.
so, yup. see above. viking af.

oops. below.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

26. hmmm.

i am part viking, i have an axe, i have 3 tats.
as soon as it is safe imma get 2 more, one for each hand- my rt hand will say- fear is a thief. my lt hand will say- love is all you need. old timey sailor hearts.
got an old leather coat that needs some work.

yup, got everything i need to fight the maskholes.

[lindysalsagal]

29. Go for it, stinky!

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

16. Maybe Cohen will have a "come to Jesus" talk with him.

That would surely drive velveeta voldemort crazier.

17. Recommended.

That is the question, isn't it? A perfect example of how "why?" is more important than "how?".
