Remember Hope Hicks?  You know, the fashion model turned practically presidential chief of staff?

Well, don’t you find that it’s interesting that the Republican National Committee and the Trump campaign have given a million dollars to her lawyers?  Well, I exaggerate, it’s only $981,849.27. Her lawyers are Trout Cacheris & Janis PLLC.

It started as $600,000 last summer, but has shot upward since then.

You know who has got to feel really, really bad about this?  Stormy Daniels.  That girl settled for $130,000.

If you’re wondering if it’s a conflict of interest or unethical for Trump to pay for Hicks’ lawyer when Hicks likely has dirt on Trump, the answer is yeah, probably.

But those aren’t the only lawyers on the Trump/RNC attorney rental fees.

Trump’s personal lawyer, Jay Sekulow:

CONSTITUTIONAL LITIGATION & ADVOCACY GR 119 2ND STREET N.E.  WASHINGTON, DC 20002  10/11/2019                LEGAL AND COMPLIANCE SERVICES         60,000.00

Pence’s personal lawyer:

MCGUIRE WOODS LLP    800 E. CANAL STREET  RICHMOND, Virginia 232193916  10/18/2019           LEGAL AND COMPLIANCE SERVICES 42,123.31

Corey Lewandowski’s lawyers:

MINTZ LEVIN FIRM ACCOUNT     666 THIRD AVENUE  NEW YORK, New York 10017  10/18/2019     LEGAL AND COMPLIANCE SERVICES 128,418.19

I’m sure the RNC thinks the $130,00 it spent to have Lewandowski make the House Judiciary Committee Dems look like chums money well spent.  It appears that the going rate for screwing somebody is around $130,000.

Thanks to Alfredo for the heads up.

Thank you.  Once again, we hit and exceeded our fundraising goal of $5,000. As of today, we raised $4,618 online and an additional $787 by mail. We’ll keep the extra money in the bank to start fundraising for voter registration address change reminders for Democrats who have moved but have not changed their voter registration.  Last election season, our efforts doing this registered 5,048 new Democrats in our county and provided half the margin the victory.

I’m going to Austin next week on the last day of candidate filing and will take Glen a check and see who files at the last minute.

I’ll bring you any breaking news about that right here.

Again, I thank you, Glen thanks you, and by gawd, Texas thanks you.
