Last month, President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign paid $50,000 to the law firm that is now representing his son as Donald Trump Jr. faces questions about his meeting with a Russian lawyer on the premise of receiving incriminating information about Hillary Clinton from the Russian government.
According to a new filing with the Federal Election Commission, the $50,000 was paid to Alan Futerfas’ firm on June 27, which wasn’t long after White House adviser Jared Kushner updated a portion of his security clearance to reflect meetings with foreign officials, including the meeting between Trump Jr. and the Russian lawyer, CNN reported.
The payment was labeled as a “legal consulting” fee, according to CNN, and could be unrelated to the Trump Jr. Russia story. A campaign is allowed to pay the legal fees of someone associated with it, if the legal issue arises out of a campaign.

Last month. As in “last month before the Putin kissy-face at the G-20” they put the mob lawyer for Don-Don we were led to believe he had only just hired on retainer as a result of Jared finally coming clean about the meeting where the FSB sent surrogates to feel them out about their willingness to collude and made themselves susceptible to blackmail by taking a folder from them? Last month weeks before Tremendous Leader claims to have ever heard about that meeting.
That “last month?”
Yes, this is totally the way people serenely confident in their own freedom from legal jeopardy act.
Of course, they could have been paying a 50K retainer to a mob lawyer for some totally unrelated reason.
Nope, no evidence. None. None whatsoever.
One could hope for something even worse, but yet not public…
If nothing else, it completely blows outta the water Tramp’s claim that he’d heard about Dim Son’s June 2016 Russia meeting “just a few days ago”. Either Tramp is lying or he has absolutely no control over his own campaign and how funds are spent.
Both could be true but I’d wager that CheapTramp focuses on money every waking minute.
