Special Counsel Looks at Trump’s Fundraising
April 29, 2023 at 8:07 am EDT By Taegan Goddard


New York Times: “Led by the special counsel Jack Smith, prosecutors are trying to determine whether Mr. Trump and his aides violated federal wire fraud statutes as they raised as much as $250 million through a political action committee by saying they needed the money to fight to reverse election fraud even though they had been told repeatedly that there was no evidence to back up those fraud claims…”

“Investigators have homed in on the activities of a joint fund-raising committee made up of staff members from the 2020 Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee, among others. Some of the subpoenas have sought documents from around Election Day 2020 up the present.”

Damn near every day it's "Special Counsel is looking at . . . ", "Special Counsel is deposing . . . ", "Special Counsel has subpoenaed . . . " . . .

When will the headlines read: "TRUMP INDICTED, ARRESTED!!" ?????

My guess at this point is: Not in my lifetime.

" made up of staff members from the 2020 Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee"

Can see some of our 2024 messaging already "WHY VOTE FOR PEOPLE WHO LIE TO YOU?"
