Trump's MO with money is to have it go thru a couple of legit orgs, then end up where he can put his paws on it. That's how he paid Ivanka for consulting services at the same time she was being paid by taxpayers for being his "Assistant" in the WH. The money went to her consulting firm.

I hope his list of pardons is gonna be looked at..

So long as he's somehow Owning The Libs with these pardons, they're fine with the MAGA Nutballs.
