So many tabs overnight. I sent
@katherinemiller a draft at 6:30a, then slept a few hours. Bravo to@JuddLegum, who musta skipped sleeping! -
Patriots for America got $50,000 in "business consulting" from Draper Sterling in 2015, according to FEC filings:https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/the-trump-campaign-paid-thousands-to-draper-sterling-which-i?utm_term=.mlVXJpDL2W#.wh1pXWOZG6 …

Patriots for America was started by Adam McLain. Paul Holzer, his brother, has (at the least) strong connections to Draper Sterling.
-
Holzer was paid by Trump campaign at the same address as Draper Sterling, which is the home of his business partner.https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/the-trump-campaign-paid-thousands-to-draper-sterling-which-i?utm_term=.mlVXJpDL2W#.wh1pXWOZG6 …
-
When Patriots for America began its attacks in Missouri, btw, Holzer was still working for one of the other gubernatorial candidates there.
-
That, to me, is one of the situations definitely worthy of more investigation here:https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/the-trump-campaign-paid-thousands-to-draper-sterling-which-i?utm_term=.mlVXJpDL2W#.wh1pXWOZG6 …

Um. No, alas. Didn't see you. Was chatting with folks all night about this, turned in my draft at 6:30a.

That is more money than two people working full-time minimum wage jobs would earn in a year.
