    Trump’s biggest lie was always that he was so rich that he’d never have to take money from anyone for his campaigns.

      Claiming anything is trumps biggest lie is a bold claim. It’s like someone could always make the case for a bigger lie.

        It is a bit like reading every Superman comic since 1939 and trying to come up with the single greatest feat.

        A lot of people will go with taking the oath of office in 2016, but he also swore on a Bible to love and honor all three of the wives he cheated on.

    The one and only reason the legal bills are very high, is because these douche bags are pleading not guilty for a crime they obviously committed, so no sympathy here.

      Not really. ANY legal defense is expensive as f*ck, which is why public defenders even exist: to give the poors the impression that they might be as protected as the rich under the law. Spoilers: they aren’t. Not the least of which, SLAPP suits.

    How the fuck do you even consider working for Donald Trump at this point?

    He almost never pays his employees. Virtually every member of his inner circle, and many of their associates have ended up facing some form of federal charges or are under some kind of investigation. Multiple attorneys have ended up sanctioned and in a couple of cases I believe disbarred. Extremely well-off people like Rudy Giuliani have ended up penniless and facing a mountain of legal debt. Many have ended up in jail. Others have reported having their careers completely ruined because reputable employers won’t go near them. Nobody has worked with Trump and walked away better for it. They’ve almost all had their lives irreparably ruined.

    How the fuck do you possibly look at what happens to anyone associated with Trump and say “Yeah, I think I wanna hitch my wagon to that.”

      He is charming to a very particular demographic. He is also, without a doubt, the most successful conman in history.

      The first skill a conman learns is building confidence in his target that his way is the right way – perhaps the only way – to get something done.

      That’s right, and I hope it keeps happening to them seeing as they are such nice and freedom-loving patriots. They really deserve the love and attention by law enforcement. And here’s hoping that they continue to enjoy the love and attention they deserve in prison.

    “He has no legal obligation to pay anybody’s fees. Moral? Perhaps,” said Tim Parlatore

    And we all know how high Trump scores on “Moral” issues.
