How did George Papandopolous get by financially, with so much of his work --

for Trump and before Trump -- having been done on a "volunteer" or "internship" basis?

His parents were Greek immigrants. Did he come from a very wealthy family? Or has he been getting help from some other source?

Manafort didn't get paid, neither did Bannon.

Trump told these fools that he'd let them pillage the treasury if they stole the election, and he told them if he wasn't able to steal it they'd make business contacts anyways that would be valuable.
