Bombshell report: Jared Kushner set up shell company that diverted campaign cash to Trump family members.
The company, which was incorporated as American Made Media Consultants Corporation and American Made Media Consultants LLC, spent $617 million of the campaign’s $1.26 billion war chest, according to campaign finance records.
Trump’s top advisers and campaign staff told Insider they were unaware of how the shell company operated, and campaign officials even conducted an internal audit of its operations under former campaign manager Brad Parscale but never reported those findings, and the next campaign manager Bill Stepien had little involvement with AMMC.
“Nothing was done without Jared’s approval,” said a former advisor to Trump’s 2016 campaign. “What Stepien doesn’t know is because Jared doesn’t want him to know.”
The nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center filed a civil complaint in July with the Federal Election Commission accusing the campaign of disguising” about $170 million in spending “by laundering the funds” through AMMC.
“[It’s a] scheme to evade telling voters even the basics on where its money is really going [and a] shield to disguise the ultimate recipients of its spending,” said Brendan Fischer, the center’s director of federal reform.
The Department of Justice may open a criminal investigation if the government suspects the payments were a “knowing and willful” violation of election law.
Several sources from the Justice Department and FEC told Insider that investigators may already be looking into the campaign’s activity.
I think that he’s far too poutful to bother putting up a wreath, even with that message. I ‘spect he’ll just spew-tweet some more BS (Bird Sh…) and try to get Rubio to sue someone else.

Except Scrooge actually learned something in the end. Putin’s personal pouter pigeon will argue with the Angel Of Death when it comes for him.

I thought that the actual quote from Melania was a little more colorful.

But inside the door there are “wonderful” decorations to admire and lots of maskless parties to attend.

That’s not quite the way the first lady articulated it.
Of course she’s not a doctor of stripology, so it’s bound to be a little different.

That’s the same wreath that hangs at the Supreme Court after Trump thought they’d give him the election. Rather odd. . . . . ./S

Last week I thought I saw a large red band hanging from the porch roof and my first thought was that it was one of tRump’s ties.
