Trump's campaign channeled nearly $400,000 to his private business in 2 days


Cohen said before that they committed massive campaign financial violations....
Wonder which porn star he is paying off now?

WTF are you talking about? Nobody is being paid off and there was not "massive campaign financial violations" seeing how the information was taken from the campaign's own FEC filings. Did you even bother to read the article?

I read the article. It said Trump is funneling money into his own businesses at the public's expense. He does not need to keep frequenting Mar-a-Lago. He can go to another hotel owned by someone else, eliminating blurred lines between government business and his personal business.

That was just a wee bit of sarcasm...I posted the link because once again it shows just how shady he is, and not to be trusted.

Cohen was prosecuted and found guilty of campaign violations involving $280,000, and received a two month prison sentence.
Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign was guilty of violations involving nearly $2 million.
The Obama Justice Department decided not to prosecute, so the Federal Election Commission fined Obama $375,000.

Yeah, he's so shady he hid it from public view by publicly disclosing it to the FEC.

NEVER TRUMPERS: "Any business that has anything to do with Trump should be boycotted and face recriminations and driven out of business! Down with pinto beans!"

ALSO NEVER TRUMPERS: "Why can't his campaign use some other business for campaign purposes?"

It's not at the public's expense and it's not the government, it's his campaign -- a private entity -- and it's at his campaign donors' expense. If they don't like it they don't have to donate to his campaign. You may not like it, it may make you mad, you may think it's unethical, but he is perfectly within his legal rights to use his own businesses to provide goods and services to his own campaign as long as they're not charging higher than market value for the goods and services supplied.

Justice may not be blind but sometimes it turns a blind eye.

Cohen had a co-conspirator. THAT guy could wind up in jail too.

If people want to give their money to this grifter, they get what they deserve.
