I read this Rick Reilly book a while back that chronicles how Trump has been cheating at golf and declaring himself fake champions of his own club's tournaments for decades.....looks like he's still at it in his old age!
Competitors were surprised to see Trump ahead by 5 on second day
Trump calls it "great honor" to have won
Trump says his "win" proves his "strength & stamina"
Donald Trump has declared himself a winner … again.
Trump announced on his social media platform on Tuesday that he won the Senior Club Championship at Trump International Golf Club in unincorporated West Palm Beach last weekend, despite not playing the first round of the tournament.
Members arrived the second day surprised to see Trump with a five-point lead, according to the Daily Mail. But Trump never played the first round as he was attending a funeral in North Carolina of ardent supporter Lynette Hardaway, known by the moniker “Diamond” of the conservative political commentary duo Diamond and Silk.
Trump told tournament organizers he played a strong round on the course Thursday, two days before the tournament started, and decided that would count as his Saturday score for the club championship. That score was five points better than any competitor posted during Saturday's first round.
Trump called it a "great honor" to have won "on of the best courses in the Country, in Palm Beach County," in his post on Truth Social.
“Competed against many fine golfers and was hitting the ball long and straight," he wrote. "The reason that I announce this on fabulous TRUTH is that, in a very real way, it serves as a physical exam, only MUCH tougher. You need strength and stamina to WIN, & I have strength & stamina – most others don’t. You also need strength & stamina to GOVERN!”
Trump's Thursday round gave him a score of 40 using the Modified Stableford method, five better than Saturday's best round, according to the Daily Mail. The Modified Stableford method takes away a point for a bogey, and awards zero for a par, two for a birdie and so on.

Trump, the Palm Beach resident and former president, made a hole-in-one on the course in April, a feat verified by Hall of Fame golfer Ernie Els, who was part of Trump's foursome that day. Trump used a 5-iron on the 181-yard seventh hole.
In October, Trump played in the pro-am before LIV Golf's season finale at his course in Doral.
"I hit it straight, I hit good drives, I hit good irons," he said that day.
Honestly...how big of a piece of shit do you have to be to even enter your own tournament.

Trump adviser Eastman faces California disciplinary charges
Today
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Conservative attorney John Eastman, a lead architect of some of former President Donald Trump’s efforts to remain in power after the 2020 election, was slapped Thursday with a series of disciplinary charges in California that could lead to his disbarment.
The State Bar of California’s chief trial counsel, George Cardona, said in a statement that the 11 charges stem from allegations that Eastman assisted Trump with a strategy — not supported by facts — to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 election by obstructing the count of electoral votes of certain states.
The office intends to seek Eastman’s disbarment.
Eastman, the former dean of Chapman University law school in Southern California, was one of Trump’s lawyers during the election. He wrote a memo that argued former Vice President Mike Pence could keep Trump in power by overturning the results of the election during a joint session of Congress convened to count electoral votes. Critics have likened that to instructions for staging a coup.
The State Bar said Eastman faces charges that he violated the business and professions code by making false and misleading statements that constitute acts of “moral turpitude, dishonesty, and corruption.”
Eastman disputes “every aspect” of the charges filed by the State Bar, which are based on his role as counsel to the former president after the election, his attorney, Randall A. Miller, said in a statement.
The State Bar's action “is part of a nationwide effort to use the bar discipline process to penalize attorneys who opposed the current administration in the last presidential election. Americans of both political parties should be troubled by this politicization of our nation’s state bars,” Miller's statement said.
In advising Trump, “Eastman’s assessments were the product of comprehensive research of the law and historical records — including the 12th Amendment and Electoral Count Act — supported by reasonable interpretation of legal and historical precedent, scholarly analysis, and legislative history,” Miller added.
“He was a lawyer, not Rasputin,” Miller said.
The bar disclosed in March that it was investigating Eastman for possible ethics violations.
As the State Bar’s chief trial counsel, Cardona investigates and prosecutes attorney disciplinary matters before the State Bar Court, which can recommend attorneys be either suspended or, in some cases, lose their licenses to practice law. The California Supreme Court ultimately decides what to do.
Eastman has been a member of the California Bar since 1997, according to its website. He was a law clerk for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and a founding director of the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence, a law firm affiliated with the Claremont Institute. He ran for California attorney general in 2010, finishing second in the Republican primary.
Eastman retired as dean of the Chapman University law school last year after more than 160 faculty members signed a letter calling for the university to take action against him.
In his statement, Cardona said the charges allege that Eastman “violated this duty in furtherance of an attempt to usurp the will of the American people and overturn election results for the highest office in the land — an egregious and unprecedented attack on our democracy."

Question: Is there an auditing process to determine whether ll of those "small dollar donors" are legit? I mean, could it be like what Saul said, that there's a Russian bot farm registering as small donors and making donations? Or MBS? Now with POOTWH back on Twatter and Faceturd, how would any auditor keep up? Where is the check and balance?
Trump’s return to Facebook, Instagram raises hopes of fundraising windfall
Meta’s decision to reinstate the former president clears the way to effectively reopen the financial partnership that proved crucial to his 2016 and 2020 campaigns
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Trump raised $378 million from donors who gave less than $200 in the 2020 election cycle, about 49 percent of his money. While it is not clear how much of that came from Instagram and Facebook, the platforms are generally seen as a primary conduit for soliciting smaller donors.
From the 1/6 Report, Appendix 3, Where Did the Money Go?, Pages 783-5:
WHERE DID THE MONEY GO?
The Trump Campaign and the RNC had three of their largest fundraising
days of the 2020 election cycle immediately after the election.156
Together,
the Trump Campaign and the RNC raised more than one hundred million
dollars in three days, telling people they were raising the money for the
“Official Election Defense Fund.” According to the TMAGAC fundraising
pitches, the Trump Campaign and RNC team had created a so-called “Official Election Defense Fund” to help pay for legal challenges to the election results.157
But there was no “Official Election Defense Fund”—it was simply
“a marketing tactic.”158 The TMAGAC fundraisers did not know where the
donated money was actually going.159 The TMAGAC copywriting team simply took the lies that President Trump told them about the need to raise
money to overturn the election results and put them into emails to his supporters.
The false claims of election fraud and the “Official Election Defense
Fund” were so successful President Trump and his allies raised more than
$250 million after the election.160 However, the Trump Campaign was raising too much money to spend solely on their legal efforts to overturn the
results of the 2020 election. The Trump Campaign continued to publicly
state the election had been stolen by “the Left,” while behind closed doors
they prepared a new plan to spend their supporters’ money.
A. The Creation of the Save America PAC
On November 9, 2020, President Trump created a separate leadership PAC
called Save America that allowed him to keep millions of dollars raised after
the election and spend it with very few restrictions in the future. Jared
Kushner worked with Alex Cannon, Deputy General Counsel for the Trump
Campaign, in creating the entity.161 Prior to the formation of Save America,
any money raised by the Trump Campaign could effectively only be spent
on recount and election-contest related expenses, and to pay off campaign
debt.162 But now the money raised into Save America could allow President
Trump to pay for his personal expenses, such as travel or hotel stays. After
Save America was formed, it was added to the TMAGAC joint fundraising
agreement with the RNC, and the percentage of the proceeds allocated to
the Trump Campaign began to flow to Save America.163
Importantly, Save America, as a leadership PAC, was not even legally
permitted to pay for recount and election-contest related expenses in
excess of the Federal Election Campaign Act (“FECA”) limit of $5,000.164
Save America never hit that limit in 2020, as it spent no money on recount
and election-contest related expenses.165
Several reporters noticed the switch and contacted the Campaign asking
about the “bait and switch” and the “misleading” nature of the emails. One
reporter said directly: “it’s misleading to raise money for a committee
marked on the website as an ‘election defense fund’ if it’s going to a leadership PAC.”166 Another reporter asked, “Why is the campaign telling its
supporters they are contributing toward an ‘Election Defense Fund’ if only
a small percentage of those funds are actually going toward funding legal
efforts?” and “How can the campaign justify directing 75% of contributions
intended for a 2020 legal fund toward the President’s political action committee?”167
The Trump Campaign came up with a messaging plan about this tactic,
which President Trump personally approved.168 Tim Murtaugh, the Trump
Campaign’s communications director, repeatedly asked Justin Clark, the
deputy campaign manager, whether they should respond to the reporters.169 When Murtaugh flagged that the communications team was not
responding to the reporters, Justin Clark said, “Good. Don’t.”170
B. Outlays to Trump-Associated Individuals and Companies
The Trump Campaign spent the money on President Trump, giving donations to his associates, and keeping it for himself in Save America. Hundreds of millions of dollars that were raised to go towards “election
defense” and “fighting voter fraud” were not spent that way at all. To the
contrary, most of the funds remain unspent, and millions have been paid to
companies that are known affiliates of President Trump, or payments to
entities associated with former Trump administration officials. Since the
election, former Trump officials who are still working for President
Trump’s PACs, and are publicly receiving salaries as FEC-reported “payroll,” are also associated with these companies.
For example, from July 2021 to the present, Save America has been paying approximately $9,700 per month to Dan Scavino,171 a political adviser
who served in the Trump administration as White House Deputy Chief of
Staff.172 Save America was also paying $20,000 per month to an entity
called Hudson Digital LLC. Hudson Digital LLC was registered in Delaware
twenty days after the attack on the Capitol, on January 26, 2021,173 and
began receiving payments from Save America on the day it was registered.174Hudson Digital LLC has received payments totaling over $420,000,
all described as “Digital consulting.”175 No website or any other information or mention of Hudson Digital LLC could be found online.176 Though
Hudson Digital LLC is registered as a Delaware company, the FEC Schedule
B listing traces back to an address belonging to Dan and Catherine
Scavino.177
You can't make this shit up. From the 1/6 Report, Pages 785-7:
Nick Luna, President Trump’s former personal assistant and “body
man,” was being paid from April 2021 to December 2021 approximately
$12,000 per month by Save America for “payroll.”178 The Make America
Great Again PAC (MAGA PAC)—formerly the authorized committee of
President Trump’s reelection campaign, Donald J. Trump for President—
paid $20,000 per month to a limited liability corporation called Red State
Partners LLC from April 2021 through October 2021, and Save America paid
Red State Partners LLC $20,000 in February 2022.179 The company was registered in Delaware on March 11, 2021 180 and has received a total of
$170,000.181 Though it is registered in Delaware, disclosures filed with the Federal Election Committee (FEC) list Red State Partners at an address in
Miami, Florida, that is an address for Nick Luna and his wife, Cassidy
Dumbauld.182
Further, Vince Haley, Taylor Swindle, and Ross Worthington are corporate officers of a company known as Pericles LLC.183 Haley is a former
policy advisor to President Trump,184 Swindle is the Chief Financial Officer
for Gingrich 360,185 and Ross Worthington is the former White House
speechwriter 186 who wrote the speech President Trump delivered on the
Ellipse on January 6th.187 Pericles LLC was registered on January 27,
2021,188 the day after Scavino’s Hudson Digital LLC, and, since then, has
received payments from Save America totaling at least $352,700.189
From January 2021 to June 2022, Save America has also reported over
$2.1 million in “legal consulting.” Many firms perform different kinds of
practice, but more than 67% of those funds went to law firms that are representing witnesses involved in the Select Committee’s investigation who
were subpoenaed or invited to testify.
Additionally, Save America has reported other expenditures, like:
• $1,000,000 donation to America First Policy Institute, home to several
former Trump officials and witnesses subpoenaed to testify before the
Committee.197
• $1,000,000 donation to Conservative Partnership Institute, a conservative nonprofit organization where Mark Meadows is a senior partner.198
• More than $10.6 million to Event Strategies, Inc., the preferred staging
company for President Trump that staged the January 6th rally.199
More than $327,000 in payments to the Trump Hotel Collection and
Mar-A-Lago Club since the 2020 election.200
• An “event sponsorship fee” of $165,937.50 to American Conservative
Union,201 the Chairman of which is Matt Schlapp. Schlapp and his wife
have offered to pay the legal fees of witnesses called to testify before
the January 6th Committee and have extensive ties with former President Trump.
• A little over $140,000 to National Public Affairs, LLC,202 a consulting
company started by former Trump Campaign Manager Bill Stepien and
Deputy Campaign Manager Justin Clark.203 Stepien testified that he
knew the claims of voter fraud were false, that he didn’t think what
was happening was necessarily honest, and that he was stepping away
from the Trump Campaign.204 However, he continues to work and
receive hundreds of thousands of dollars consulting for President
Trump and several other congressional candidates who continue to
spread false voter fraud claims related to the 2020 election.205
Overall, only a small amount of the contributions ever went to President
Trump’s recount account or were otherwise obviously used in connection
with post-election recounts or litigation. As President Trump used the Big
Lie as a weapon to attack the legitimacy of the 2020 election, his Campaign
used that same Big Lie to raise millions of dollars based on false claims and
unkept promises.
Not only did President Trump lie to his supporters about the election,
but he also ripped them off.
President Trump’s relentless propagation of the Big Lie damaged
American democracy from within and made it more vulnerable to attack
from abroad. His actions did not go unnoticed by America’s adversaries,
who seized on the opportunity to damage the United States. According to
the Intelligence Community’s March 2021 assessment, “[e]ven after the
election, Russian online influence actors continued to promote narratives
questioning the election results. . . .”29 What President Trump was saying
was, in sum, exactly what the Russian government wanted said—but he
was doing it on his own initiative and from the trappings of the Oval Office.
And how about this fruit from the poisonous tree? Sounds like a deliberate cover up or attempted obstruction to me. Notice the endnote? From Page 807:
For Russia, “[e]lections . . . often serve as an opportune target. But
attacks on elections are typically just one part of ongoing, multi-pronged
operations.”11 The U.S. Intelligence Community’s definitive post-election
assessment of foreign influence activities during the 2020 Presidential
election concluded that Russia was deeply engaged in disinformation
activities intended to influence the outcome by supporting President Trump
while disparaging then-candidate Biden; Iran also engaged in efforts to
influence the election’s outcome, but unlike Russia, did not actively promote any candidate; and that China considered opportunities to influence
the election’s outcome, but ultimately decided that potential costs outweighed any foreseeable benefits.12 Both Russia and Iran worked to undermine the American public’s confidence in U.S. democratic processes and to
deepen socio-political divisions in the United States.13
And the endnote, #12, to the second bolded sentence, Page 812:
National Intelligence Council, “Intelligence Community Assessment: Foreign Threats to the
2020 US Federal Elections,” ICA 2020–00078D, (Mar. 10, 2021), p. i, available at https://
www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/ICA-declass-16MAR21.pdf (archived). But see, John Ratcliffe, Director of National Intelligence, “Views on Intelligence Community
Election Security Analysis,” (Jan. 7, 2021), available at https://contextcdn.washingtonpost.com/notes/prod/default/documents/6d274110-a84b-4694-96cd6a902207d2bd/note/733364cf-0afb-412d-a5b4-ab797a8ba154 (archived). In this memorandum, DNI Ratcliffe, who had been in office seven months and lacked any prior
intelligence experience, said he felt the need to “lead by example and offer my analytic
assessment.” He argued that the ICA majority’s “high confidence” view that “China considered but did not deploy influence efforts intended to change the outcome of the US presidential election” did not “fully and accurately reflect[ ] the scope of the Chinese
government’s efforts to influence the 2020 U.S. federal elections.” Aside from the DNI’s
very willingness to conclude, in conformity with then-President Trump’s contention but
without reference to any supporting data, that the IC’s combined analytic judgment on
China was wrong, this seems a very odd document for the DNI to have chosen to issue the
day after the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Conservative attorney John Eastman, a lead architect of some of former President Donald Trump’s efforts to remain in power after the 2020 election, was slapped Thursday with a series of disciplinary charges in California that could lead to his disbarment.
The State Bar of California’s chief trial counsel, George Cardona, said in a statement that the 11 charges stem from allegations that Eastman assisted Trump with a strategy — not supported by facts — to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 election by obstructing the count of electoral votes of certain states.
The office intends to seek Eastman’s disbarment.
Eastman, the former dean of Chapman University law school in Southern California, was one of Trump’s lawyers during the election. He wrote a memo that argued former Vice President Mike Pence could keep Trump in power by overturning the results of the election during a joint session of Congress convened to count electoral votes. Critics have likened that to instructions for staging a coup.
The State Bar said Eastman faces charges that he violated the business and professions code by making false and misleading statements that constitute acts of “moral turpitude, dishonesty, and corruption.”

Eastman disputes “every aspect” of the charges filed by the State Bar, which are based on his role as counsel to the former president after the election, his attorney, Randall A. Miller, said in a statement.
The State Bar's action “is part of a nationwide effort to use the bar discipline process to penalize attorneys who opposed the current administration in the last presidential election. Americans of both political parties should be troubled by this politicization of our nation’s state bars,” Miller's statement said.
In advising Trump, “Eastman’s assessments were the product of comprehensive research of the law and historical records — including the 12th Amendment and Electoral Count Act — supported by reasonable interpretation of legal and historical precedent, scholarly analysis, and legislative history,” Miller added.
“He was a lawyer, not Rasputin,” Miller said.
The bar disclosed in March that it was investigating Eastman for possible ethics violations.
As the State Bar’s chief trial counsel, Cardona investigates and prosecutes attorney disciplinary matters before the State Bar Court, which can recommend attorneys be either suspended or, in some cases, lose their licenses to practice law. The California Supreme Court ultimately decides what to do.
Eastman has been a member of the California Bar since 1997, according to its website. He was a law clerk for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and a founding director of the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence, a law firm affiliated with the Claremont Institute. He ran for California attorney general in 2010, finishing second in the Republican primary.
Eastman retired as dean of the Chapman University law school last year after more than 160 faculty members signed a letter calling for the university to take action against him.
In his statement, Cardona said the charges allege that Eastman “violated this duty in furtherance of an attempt to usurp the will of the American people and overturn election results for the highest office in the land — an egregious and unprecedented attack on our democracy."

Trump’s return to Facebook, Instagram raises hopes of fundraising windfall
Meta’s decision to reinstate the former president clears the way to effectively reopen the financial partnership that proved crucial to his 2016 and 2020 campaigns
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Trump raised $378 million from donors who gave less than $200 in the 2020 election cycle, about 49 percent of his money. While it is not clear how much of that came from Instagram and Facebook, the platforms are generally seen as a primary conduit for soliciting smaller donors.
How Trump’s return to Facebook, Instagram could help him raise more money - The Washington Post
From the 1/6 Report, Appendix 3, Where Did the Money Go?, Pages 783-5:
WHERE DID THE MONEY GO? The Trump Campaign and the RNC had three of their largest fundraising days of the 2020 election cycle immediately after the election.156
Together, the Trump Campaign and the RNC raised more than one hundred million dollars in three days, telling people they were raising the money for the “Official Election Defense Fund.” According to the TMAGAC fundraising pitches, the Trump Campaign and RNC team had created a so-called “Official Election Defense Fund” to help pay for legal challenges to the election results.157
But there was no “Official Election Defense Fund”—it was simply “a marketing tactic.”158 The TMAGAC fundraisers did not know where the donated money was actually going.159 The TMAGAC copywriting team simply took the lies that President Trump told them about the need to raise money to overturn the election results and put them into emails to his supporters.
The false claims of election fraud and the “Official Election Defense Fund” were so successful President Trump and his allies raised more than $250 million after the election.160 However, the Trump Campaign was raising too much money to spend solely on their legal efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The Trump Campaign continued to publicly state the election had been stolen by “the Left,” while behind closed doors they prepared a new plan to spend their supporters’ money.
A. The Creation of the Save America PAC
On November 9, 2020, President Trump created a separate leadership PAC called Save America that allowed him to keep millions of dollars raised after the election and spend it with very few restrictions in the future. Jared Kushner worked with Alex Cannon, Deputy General Counsel for the Trump Campaign, in creating the entity.161 Prior to the formation of Save America, any money raised by the Trump Campaign could effectively only be spent on recount and election-contest related expenses, and to pay off campaign debt.162 But now the money raised into Save America could allow President Trump to pay for his personal expenses, such as travel or hotel stays. After Save America was formed, it was added to the TMAGAC joint fundraising agreement with the RNC, and the percentage of the proceeds allocated to the Trump Campaign began to flow to Save America.163
Importantly, Save America, as a leadership PAC, was not even legally permitted to pay for recount and election-contest related expenses in excess of the Federal Election Campaign Act (“FECA”) limit of $5,000.164 Save America never hit that limit in 2020, as it spent no money on recount and election-contest related expenses.165
Several reporters noticed the switch and contacted the Campaign asking about the “bait and switch” and the “misleading” nature of the emails. One reporter said directly: “it’s misleading to raise money for a committee marked on the website as an ‘election defense fund’ if it’s going to a leadership PAC.”166 Another reporter asked, “Why is the campaign telling its supporters they are contributing toward an ‘Election Defense Fund’ if only a small percentage of those funds are actually going toward funding legal efforts?” and “How can the campaign justify directing 75% of contributions intended for a 2020 legal fund toward the President’s political action committee?”167
The Trump Campaign came up with a messaging plan about this tactic, which President Trump personally approved.168 Tim Murtaugh, the Trump Campaign’s communications director, repeatedly asked Justin Clark, the deputy campaign manager, whether they should respond to the reporters.169 When Murtaugh flagged that the communications team was not responding to the reporters, Justin Clark said, “Good. Don’t.”170
B. Outlays to Trump-Associated Individuals and Companies
The Trump Campaign spent the money on President Trump, giving donations to his associates, and keeping it for himself in Save America. Hundreds of millions of dollars that were raised to go towards “election defense” and “fighting voter fraud” were not spent that way at all. To the contrary, most of the funds remain unspent, and millions have been paid to companies that are known affiliates of President Trump, or payments to entities associated with former Trump administration officials. Since the election, former Trump officials who are still working for President Trump’s PACs, and are publicly receiving salaries as FEC-reported “payroll,” are also associated with these companies.
For example, from July 2021 to the present, Save America has been paying approximately $9,700 per month to Dan Scavino,171 a political adviser who served in the Trump administration as White House Deputy Chief of Staff.172 Save America was also paying $20,000 per month to an entity called Hudson Digital LLC. Hudson Digital LLC was registered in Delaware twenty days after the attack on the Capitol, on January 26, 2021,173 and began receiving payments from Save America on the day it was registered.174 Hudson Digital LLC has received payments totaling over $420,000, all described as “Digital consulting.”175 No website or any other information or mention of Hudson Digital LLC could be found online.176 Though Hudson Digital LLC is registered as a Delaware company, the FEC Schedule B listing traces back to an address belonging to Dan and Catherine Scavino.177

Nick Luna, President Trump’s former personal assistant and “body man,” was being paid from April 2021 to December 2021 approximately $12,000 per month by Save America for “payroll.”178 The Make America Great Again PAC (MAGA PAC)—formerly the authorized committee of President Trump’s reelection campaign, Donald J. Trump for President— paid $20,000 per month to a limited liability corporation called Red State Partners LLC from April 2021 through October 2021, and Save America paid Red State Partners LLC $20,000 in February 2022.179 The company was registered in Delaware on March 11, 2021 180 and has received a total of $170,000.181 Though it is registered in Delaware, disclosures filed with the Federal Election Committee (FEC) list Red State Partners at an address in Miami, Florida, that is an address for Nick Luna and his wife, Cassidy Dumbauld.182
Further, Vince Haley, Taylor Swindle, and Ross Worthington are corporate officers of a company known as Pericles LLC.183 Haley is a former policy advisor to President Trump,184 Swindle is the Chief Financial Officer for Gingrich 360,185 and Ross Worthington is the former White House speechwriter 186 who wrote the speech President Trump delivered on the Ellipse on January 6th.187 Pericles LLC was registered on January 27, 2021,188 the day after Scavino’s Hudson Digital LLC, and, since then, has received payments from Save America totaling at least $352,700.189
From January 2021 to June 2022, Save America has also reported over $2.1 million in “legal consulting.” Many firms perform different kinds of practice, but more than 67% of those funds went to law firms that are representing witnesses involved in the Select Committee’s investigation who were subpoenaed or invited to testify.
Additionally, Save America has reported other expenditures, like:
• $1,000,000 donation to America First Policy Institute, home to several former Trump officials and witnesses subpoenaed to testify before the Committee.197
• $1,000,000 donation to Conservative Partnership Institute, a conservative nonprofit organization where Mark Meadows is a senior partner.198
• More than $10.6 million to Event Strategies, Inc., the preferred staging company for President Trump that staged the January 6th rally.199
More than $327,000 in payments to the Trump Hotel Collection and Mar-A-Lago Club since the 2020 election.200
• An “event sponsorship fee” of $165,937.50 to American Conservative Union,201 the Chairman of which is Matt Schlapp. Schlapp and his wife have offered to pay the legal fees of witnesses called to testify before the January 6th Committee and have extensive ties with former President Trump.
• A little over $140,000 to National Public Affairs, LLC,202 a consulting company started by former Trump Campaign Manager Bill Stepien and Deputy Campaign Manager Justin Clark.203 Stepien testified that he knew the claims of voter fraud were false, that he didn’t think what was happening was necessarily honest, and that he was stepping away from the Trump Campaign.204 However, he continues to work and receive hundreds of thousands of dollars consulting for President Trump and several other congressional candidates who continue to spread false voter fraud claims related to the 2020 election.205

Overall, only a small amount of the contributions ever went to President Trump’s recount account or were otherwise obviously used in connection with post-election recounts or litigation. As President Trump used the Big Lie as a weapon to attack the legitimacy of the 2020 election, his Campaign used that same Big Lie to raise millions of dollars based on false claims and unkept promises.
Not only did President Trump lie to his supporters about the election, but he also ripped them off.

President Trump’s relentless propagation of the Big Lie damaged American democracy from within and made it more vulnerable to attack from abroad. His actions did not go unnoticed by America’s adversaries, who seized on the opportunity to damage the United States. According to the Intelligence Community’s March 2021 assessment, “[e]ven after the election, Russian online influence actors continued to promote narratives questioning the election results. . . .”29 What President Trump was saying was, in sum, exactly what the Russian government wanted said—but he was doing it on his own initiative and from the trappings of the Oval Office.
And how about this fruit from the poisonous tree? Sounds like a deliberate cover up or attempted obstruction to me. Notice the endnote? From Page 807:
For Russia, “[e]lections . . . often serve as an opportune target. But attacks on elections are typically just one part of ongoing, multi-pronged operations.”11 The U.S. Intelligence Community’s definitive post-election assessment of foreign influence activities during the 2020 Presidential election concluded that Russia was deeply engaged in disinformation activities intended to influence the outcome by supporting President Trump while disparaging then-candidate Biden; Iran also engaged in efforts to influence the election’s outcome, but unlike Russia, did not actively promote any candidate; and that China considered opportunities to influence the election’s outcome, but ultimately decided that potential costs outweighed any foreseeable benefits.12 Both Russia and Iran worked to undermine the American public’s confidence in U.S. democratic processes and to deepen socio-political divisions in the United States.13
And the endnote, #12, to the second bolded sentence, Page 812:
National Intelligence Council, “Intelligence Community Assessment: Foreign Threats to the 2020 US Federal Elections,” ICA 2020–00078D, (Mar. 10, 2021), p. i, available at https:// www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/ICA-declass-16MAR21.pdf (archived). But see, John Ratcliffe, Director of National Intelligence, “Views on Intelligence Community Election Security Analysis,” (Jan. 7, 2021), available at https://contextcdn.washingtonpost.com/notes/prod/default/documents/6d274110-a84b-4694-96cd6a902207d2bd/note/733364cf-0afb-412d-a5b4-ab797a8ba154 (archived). In this memorandum, DNI Ratcliffe, who had been in office seven months and lacked any prior intelligence experience, said he felt the need to “lead by example and offer my analytic assessment.” He argued that the ICA majority’s “high confidence” view that “China considered but did not deploy influence efforts intended to change the outcome of the US presidential election” did not “fully and accurately reflect[ ] the scope of the Chinese government’s efforts to influence the 2020 U.S. federal elections.” Aside from the DNI’s very willingness to conclude, in conformity with then-President Trump’s contention but without reference to any supporting data, that the IC’s combined analytic judgment on China was wrong, this seems a very odd document for the DNI to have chosen to issue the day after the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. 13.
Very fucking odd indeed.
