Trump’s PACs Spent Roughly $50 Million on Legal Expenses in 2023

Former President Donald Trump reportedly spent a whopping $50 million worth of donors’ money on his mounting legal bills in 2023.

According to the New York Times, Trump spent $50 million from several super PACs “paying the bills stemming from his various legal defenses, including lawyers for witnesses.”

The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman and Shane Goldmacher reported that Trump “has been directing 10 percent of donations raised online to Save America, meaning 10 cents of every dollar he has received from supporters is going to a PAC that chiefly funds his lawyers.”

There are two things that make me laugh in this short story:

1- Trump always manages to defraud his MAGAs over and over again.

They are willing victims of a man who embezzles their donations for personal gain.

2- All that money goes into the pockets of one of the worst legal teams in the history of this country.

All the lawyers who had the intellectual capacity to defend the idiot Trump are gone: Parlatore, Tacopina, Cobb...

As a result, they have lost every case in which Trump has been involved in the last 2 years.

 

wow, Trump Lawyers are happy for once, someone paying Trump's bills

 

The more money they funnel to his grift the less they can fund local candidates. These funds then go into the hands of his victims and the courts and away from maga.

Seems like a win to me.

 

His supporters money is essentially funding payoffs to his victims lol!

That has to make them agitated.

 

Exactly...

 

He cannot keep the really good lawyers. why would they work for him?? Those with ethics are smart to stay clear of him. If the MAGA gang want to pay for this idiots legal fees , they must really be devoted and have money to burn. ,or are foolish and easily duped) These expenses should come from his own money. ( which he won't spend )
The question remains : Has he actually pad those fees?? He has a history of not paying his bills.

 

One would think that $50,000,000 would get one better lawyers, or he would win a case on occasion

 

Ordinarily, that would be the case. But who in their right (lawyer) mind , would work for him ??? Even some lawyers have standards

 

Sounds like election interference...lol

 

The courts are biased. That doesn't help.

 

Everyone is out to get him! Said every criminal

 

Obviously guilty clients can be good for lawyers. If you win you’re amazing, if you lose….well they were obviously guilty so what did you expect?

 

i agree the courts are biased

against poor people

 

Yeah, in favor of the law...

 

No one, which is how he ended up with Alina Habba

 

In favor of lawfare, you mean...lol

 

That's a connection most of them will never make. RW "media" is a bubble.

 

Pretty sure that is not what I mean, because that clearly is not what I stated.

 

There ya go

 

Sounds like the public donating money to an indicted criminal.

 

An indictment isn't a conviction...lol

 

True. But the Feds have a pretty good conviction rate.

And when we look at the indictments … if they can prove the allegations that are set out in the indictments (and much of that evidence will be in the form of documents / videos / photos, so difficult to challenge), he will have a very difficult time avoiding multiple convictions.

 

You would have a point if it was just a single judge — but to say the prosecution, the judge and a jury of 9 are all biased is kind of a stretch. And when you multiply that across numerous charges in numerous courts it because even hard to justify

 

It’s downright delusional
