Wait what? Trump held a fundraiser for Bondi

after she passed on investigating Trump U.

'Trump just didn't donate, He hosted a fundraiser for Bondi at Mar-A-Lago after she passed on investigating Trump U.'

Gee I thought he had never spoken with her?

Can we just get the Special Counsel now?

He never said that he had never spoken with her. In fact, he said that they have a friendship. He said that he didn't speak with her about "it". Just an fyi. I realize...totally bogus...but just an fyi.

5. Yes, the FL AG he said he never spoke to, gave $25K to, and lied to the IRS about it, yup, for her.

And he got paid for doing it, he got a take of the donations for hosting, but he charges the Trump campaign more than he charges her's to use his home. Plus he pulled the illegal using a non-profit corporation to give her the $25K and hid it from the IRS by saying he gave it to someone else spelled nearly the same. All in all, some serious jail time if you're not privileged.

Geez bribing a female AG 25% less than a male AG in this day and age!

Well if she got a fund raiser and he didn't that makes it a little better.
