Reminder: Trump's political operation paid more than $3.5 million to Jan. 6 organizers

[CousinIT]

. . .

OpenSecrets unearthed more than $3.5 million in direct payments from Trump’s 2020 campaign, along with its joint fundraising committees, to people and firms involved in the Washington, D.C. demonstration before a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol.

Recent FEC filings show at least three individuals listed on permit records for the Washington, D.C. demonstration were on the Trump campaign’s payroll through Nov. 30, 2020.

The Trump campaign paid Event Strategies Inc., a firm named in a permit for the rally that also employed two individuals involved in the demonstration, as recently as Dec. 15, just three weeks before the attacks on the U.S. Capitol. That’s according to the most recent FEC filings covering spending through the end of 2020. . .

1. Treason is expensive

But then maybe the Republicans got reimbursed by their darkside anti-American cronies in russia.

2. Seize Their Assets

Any person or corporation that directly or indirectly supported the insurrection should be named a domestic terrorist and have all assets seized, including facebook and billionaires - just my opinion.

3. Most of that money is paying TFG to speak ?

The rest of security ??

4. snip from the cite

' . . . The possibility that a failed presidential candidate’s campaign may have continued bankrolling operatives behind a rally that escalated to violent insurrection raises the question of how this could have been hidden from the American public — and raises the stakes for campaign finance transparency to a new level.'
