        Trump's 2020 campaign also shelled out about 22 percent of it's total spending so far this year on legal consulting http://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/C00580100/1222729/sb/ALL …

        Interestingly, more than $230,000 of the "legal consulting" fees were paid out by the Trump campaign in the first week of January, strongly suggesting those payments were from 2017 legal work.

        Note that most of these firms include many lawyers, and we're not certain what lawyers are being paid for what work from these filings.

        Seriousl question for the layman. How does this compare to previous campaigns at this point? (Wanted to compare before I criticized).

        Since someone raised the issue: Obama for America spent a little more than 1/4 of that amount — around $275,000 — on legal fees, all to Perkins Coie, in the final quarter of 2009.

        Trump will have a lot of explaining to do when the #RussianMafia comes knocking on his door, expecting payment in full of all his debts. 😎 #MuellerInvestigation <<<--- #TrumpCrimeSyndicate --->>> #RussianMafia .....being in the middle of that, not so much fun for #DirtyDonny.😏

        That’s where GOP donor money is going. Not to candidates, which is great news for everyone.
