People close to Donald Trump are facing new legal problems connected to the DOJ's investigation of the effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election, this time it's related to the "We Build the Wall" fundraising scheme. According to The Washington Post's Greg Sargent, "it couldn't be happening to a nicer bunch of grifters."
"There are approximately 40new subpoenas, according to the Times, and some are aimed at probing efforts to get fake presidential electors appointed to further Trump's plot to thwart certification of President Biden's victory," Sargent writes. "That's commanding much attention, as the Justice Department's investigation of that particular scheme appears to be seriously advancing."
According to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Trump and his allies raised up to $250 million with a fundraising effort that pushed conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.
"Some missives, which were sent out in the run-up to Jan. 6, 2021, called for donations to an 'Official Election Defense Fund," Sargent writes. "But that fund didn't exist, the committee demonstrated. Much of the money flowed to the newly created Save America PAC, not 'election-related litigation.' That PAC donated millions to groups connected to top Trump advisers, the committee claimed, such as former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows."
Sargent goes on to say that Trump's lies about 2020 didn't just spark a riot at the U.S. It also "raked in extraordinary sums from people who were likely despairing about Trump's loss and believed his lie that the election had been stolen from them."

bwah ha ha ha ha, suckers!
That big steaming pile of shit has been on a grifting campaign his entire life. He's a thug, thief, gangster, grifter. Anyone who contrubted(s) to that turd is a fucking moron.
All they say is that the Dems are using the system against them...
I can't believe even they believe their own bullshit anymore.
That's quite the Halloween Party guest list
looks like a shooting gallery at a carnival...
It appears that the DOJ is going full bore in its investigation into the criminality of TFG and his cronies. Things should get very interesting after the midterms.
I think the DOJ has the basic outline down. they're just gathering documentation and looking to flip a big magafish, ... er, sucker.
I agree. They are doing what is necessary to build their case.
my source in DC tells me just the pings off the cell phone towers on J6 kept several agencies busy. that big federal hammer doesn't need to swing fast to flatten anything. the trumpsters are expecting the DOJ to indict him, as evidenced by all the congressional investigation/impeachment threats they're directing towards the AG.
They are expecting him to be indicted because they are aware that the evidence of his criminal misconduct is overwhelming.
I heard 30 or more subpoenas were going out this morning to a bunch of the thugs involved in the top secret/classified documents.
Slowly but surely all the shit is hitting the fan
... if he's lucky. some OG GOPer is probably looking for a patsy now...
