Trump inaugural committee received foreign money per Sam Patten (Manafort associate) plea deal

[iluvtennis]

An uplifting reminder on this really crappy day: Manafort associate Sam Patten, who pleaded guilty on Aug 31, admitted to Mueller that a pro-Putin, Russian mafia-linked Ukranian oligarch funneled money into Trump's inaugural fund – which is a violation of federal campaign laws.

Trump inaugural committee received foreign money, plea deal shows. Former Manafort associate Sam Patten admits he helped a Ukrainian oligarch funnel money into Trump’s inaugural committee, chaired by Tom Barrack [whose deputy chair was Rick Gates].

3. And the Fed. Election Commission won't do a thing about it either. But we will when ...

we take the houses back in Congress and put some more teeth into these election laws, put more power into allowing more voting (more easier to get voting rights etc.). Better written laws will have less of a chance of being contested via the Supreme Court, now that BK has been put onto the court. We'll just have to keep chugging away (get the drift on 'chugging'? A sarcastic hit on BK). We'll prevail. First round starts in Nov. 2018 and will continue until we wipe this filth away.

5. Which then ended up in Rump's pocket,

did it not? They didn't spend all or even most of it, and supposedly it was going to be donated to charity...but of course that didn't happen.
