That's because they'll have worked hard at it and earned by doing so.

A couple of lawyers discussed Trump on CNN tonight and one was saying that Trump's campaign can now pay his legal bills if he were to be indicted. This was the probable motivating reason for the early announcement despite the poor showing for the Republicans in the midterms. If Trump hadn't announced,  he'd have to foot the legal bills himself but now he doesn't have to...

Another Trump Go-Between Convicted For The Russia Connection...

Once again the farthest left Socialist Democrat here can't see the forest for the trees, as he whines about a $25,000 campaign contribution, that didn't have Trump's hand anywhere near it, while simultaneously ignoring the $40,000,000 contribution that was given by this guy to the Democrats in Congress.

It appears that this fraud named Sam Bankman-Fried of FTX financial was the 2nd largest donor to the Democrat party behind George Soros.  

But ignore that while trying to make some sort of criminal link to Trump that isn't there.

Talk about unhinged.  
Here's what he did in the midterms: "The billionaire crypto executive sent most of his donations — $28 million — to his Protect Our Future PAC, a super PAC focused on preventing the next pandemic that mostly backed Democrats facing progressives in primaries. "

I wonder if this far left Socialist above would believe that his theft of $32 Billion was still Noble if part of the $32 Billion stolen by this criminal was his life savings?

I have an idea that he wouldn't be so flippant and we all know that he wouldn't characterize the theft of his own money as "NOBLE"


Socialism

As one very well thought of British leader (Margaret Thatcher) once opined:  Socialism works great until you run out of other people's money.  

It could also be said that stealing the life savings of other's is fine until you start stealing MY money.


That is after all how most far left Socialist Democrats think.
You'll be sure and let us know when he's been charged, let alone convicted, won't you Rich?...

Another Trump Go-Between Convicted For The Russia Connection...

Posted By Rod Kaufman

In the tradition of Paul Manafort, who was described by a GOP senate committee as a "grave counterintelligence threat due to his Russian contacts," a lessor fish in the pond has now been convicted for his role with the Russians.
"A Republican operative was convicted on Thursday of facilitating an illegal campaign contribution from a Russian national to the Trump campaign in 2016."
"acted as a straw donor and contributed $25,000 of the Russian foreign national’s money to the campaign, falsely identified himself as the contributor and pocketed the remaining $75,000.”

Trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, of course was much more involved with the Trump campaign and the Russian connection:

Once again, the Biden Administration attempts to violate the United States Constitution

The Biden Administration asked a New Orleans-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit to temporarily hold a lower court's ruling that found the Department of Education exceeded its authority with the debt forgiveness program.



Understand Something.  They don't care.  They don't believe in the Separation of Powers that the US Constitution sets up.

It is a winner take all thought process.  Biden was elected President and so like all dictatorships, he is all powerful. 

He waves his hand and it is settled law. 
Lol! Another one of Richie's outrage posts to start the morning that is clearly unhinged, to say the least. The Biden administration is appealing a decision by a judge. Happens all the time in any administration. That does not make a sitting president a dictator in any sense of the word.
Rich, get some help...
