    Everywhere we turn, we find four things surrounding Trump

    1. corruption/deception
    2. indicted/convicted associates
    3. shady characters
    4. Russians

    And Trump supporters are whining about Hillary's emails.

    An ethics watchdog group has accused President Donald Trump's reelection campaign of obscuring nearly $170 million worth of campaign spending through so-called "pass-through" vendors linked to campaign leadership instead of disclosing the true recipients of the funds.
    In an FEC complaint filed on Tuesday, the Washington-based nonpartisan group Campaign Legal Center said American Made Media Consultants and Parscale Strategy, two companies set up and by run by campaign leadership, including former campaign manager Brad Parscale, have been disguised as providing a variety of services to the campaign, when in reality they have essentially served as "clearing house" firms that dole out contracts and payments to various subcontractors and vendors without revealing the ultimate recipients of the donor money.

    The lack of disclosure of the campaign's payments to subcontractors, Campaign Legal Center wrote in the complaint, is a violation of the Federal Election Commission rule that requires campaigns to itemize disbursements to its ultimate vendors.

    I wonder if this is why Brad is in a rubber room tonight with no shoe laces. Or it could be the tax story...

    Elect Joe Biden then and let's see if he can truly be the President for all voters not just Democratic voters.
