Circus Money
From Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen:
In 2016, the Russians used the stolen personal information of real Americans and used it to create fake Facebook accounts to support Trump and purchase $100,000 of Facebook ads.
This year they could use credit card numbers stolen from real Americans to make contributions directly to the Trump campaign.
Sound far-fetched? Stolen credit card information has already been used to make contributions to the Trump campaign.
And, of course, stealing Americans’ credit card information is an industry in Russia.
And here’s the best part for the Trump campaign. If the Trump campaign receives contributions which, on their face appear to be illegal, they do not have to return them for 60 days. 11 C.F.R. § 103.3(b)(3).
So any illegal contributions the Trump campaign receives between now and the election won’t have to be returned until after the election is over.
Just remember, IOKIYAR!
1Admit I had to google IOKIYAR. Ya, ok and also means you’re a comrade of a whole bunch of deplorables, both foreign and domestic.
2Would love to see after a crushing loss, the Trumpf campaign hit with whatever fines, etc. come from the illegal donations. That would be frosting on their shit cake. Of course everything Trumpf related means they’ll refuse to pay up.
Steve, around here creditors think nothing of slapping a lien even on a doghouse let alone the shack a widowed incapacitated veteran lives in. Since the worship the $ so much, I don’t see them being timid about anything tRump owns.
3It would be the Trump campaign that gets the money, and they have already been stiffing cities for the costs of Lord Lardbottom’s pep rallies. You can bet that Trump and his immediate spawn have no liability in this game, and his re-election campaign will just declare bankruptcy and walk away smiling.
And while his disgusting get and their girl friends are making bank off of the suckers who contribute to the campaign, they are being paid through cut-outs. So nope, even with stolen money they’ll never spend a day in court, much less prison.
4No way the Mango Molester would return a penny. He will just put it in account and tell you what a great job he did
