Wow. I know he likes to claim credit for things he hasn’t done, but, wow, this is beyond the orange pale. This would be like the Lions saying the 34 points the 49ers got were points for the Lions because Detroit was projected to win the conference championship.*
By the numbers: Trump’s Save America PAC spent roughly $47 million on legal consulting last year, according to the group’s latest financial report.
That includes $25 million in the last six months of the year, the Federal Election Commission data shows.
The PAC listed payments to an array of lawyers and firms, including Alina Habba, who has represented him in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case and New York civil fraud trial.
Well he did manage to go bankrupt running a casino. I suspest his understanding of statistics is every bit as comprehensive as his knowledge of health care.
Hey, from Trump’s point of view, it’s perfectly appropriate! After all, he’s been racking up all those legal fees to defend himself against all those evil Biden election interference sham court assaults!
I can’t say this pisses me off today, as such, nor is it a surprise, this is who he’s been telling us he is for a decade, but the petty childishness of it is worth a mention.
“And then you could kind of see the wheel spinning in his brain. You could really almost see it,” Kaplan recounted, to the hosts of “George Conway Explains it All (to Sarah Longwell). “And [Trump] said, ‘Well, you’re here in Mar-a-Lago. What do you think you’re going to do for lunch? Where are you going to get lunch?’”
Kaplan said she explained to Trump that his lawyers had offered to provide Kaplan’s team with lunch, prompting an explosion from Trump.
Well now at least he’s got a good reason not to pay them. Or at least withhold what the lunch cost (which he will estimate is in the five figure range). Stuff is expensive at Mar-a-Largo, gawddammit!!
Even more petty, at the end of the day he apparently waited until the recording was shut off then told Kaplan “See you next Tuesday”. She says she didn’t react at the time because she didn’t get it and her only thought was that the next meeting was supposed to be on Wednesday. Someone had to explain it to her.
