Parscale Under Investigation for 'Stealing' Campaign Funds

“Donald Trump’s demoted campaign boss Brad Parscale is under investigation for ‘stealing’ between $25-$40 million from Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign,” the Daily Mail reports.

“The 44-year-old is also being investigated for ‘pocketing’ nearly another $10 million from the Republican National Committee.”

Meanwhile, Business Insider reports that “before Parscale’s meltdown on Sunday that landed him in police custody, his spending as a top Trump campaign official had been under scrutiny.”

“It’s unclear whether a campaign-spending audit and scrutiny over his luxurious purchases precipitated Parscale’s latest troubles.”

their own Florida Man.

I’m not saying it doesn’t happen elsewhere - but I think Florida perfected the art of coming out half naked to meet the cops while carrying your beer and taking the time to carefully place your beer down on your truck prior to getting tackled.




In all seriousness - I remember reading an article in National Geographic once about housing in the San Francisco area. It was unbelievable. The map of average income overlaid with average house price was insane. As well as the stories about what people with seemingly good incomes had to do to get by there.

Uday and Quesay, probably Princess Sparkle Pony and her hubby too. They all had their hands in the till, but Parscale will get blamed for all of it.

No sympathy for that guy - he KNEW who he was working for. Of course it could never end well.

so they can take it. They've been double and triple dealing from the very start. The entire 2016 campaign was simply another marketing scam from a snake-oil salesman with nothing but debts and a phony public persona.

Builder-developers always live off other people's money...Russian money, taxpayer money, whatever they can...
