Trump doled out big fat raises from his campaign, severance packages, new jobs, and a grant of shares and cash to nine witnesses in various criminal cases against Dementia Don.

Nine witnesses in the criminal cases against former President Donald Trump have received significant financial benefits, including large raises from his campaign, severance packages, new jobs, and a grant of shares and cash from Trump’s media company.

The benefits have flowed from Trump’s businesses and campaign committees, according to a ProPublica analysis of public disclosures, court records and securities filings. One campaign aide had his average monthly pay double, from $26,000 to $53,500. Another employee got a $2 million severance package barring him from voluntarily cooperating with law enforcement. And one of the campaign’s top officials had her daughter hired onto the campaign staff, where she is now the fourth-highest-paid employee.


No doubt it was entirely coincidental that some of the payola was paid after a witness was subpoenaed but before they testified.

Well, witness tampering is a tough crime to prosecute unless, of course, there's a pattern.

Are at least nine instances a pattern?

Just askin'.

Seems worth investigating. We may have a whole new set of charges to prosecute. I doubt this would warrant simple probation.

He can't seem to help himself. He just keeps digging a hole for himself.

It will be interesting to see where this goes.

Trump, the spoiled rich kid, has always thought he was above the law and should not be held to any norms of human decency.

If he wins the election, he will make sure that he IS above the law.

He'll try, but as usual, he'll fail. He won't be able to get any laws passed, and he can't get away from state charges. At most he might be able to self-pardon federal charges, though that would end up in scotus.

Don't you think this SCOTUS will allow it?

Maybe. That would open the door for liberal potuses to do the same, so they may think twice about setting that precedent.
