Will Trump's legal issues eat up most of his campaign cash?

[Quixote1818]

It sounds like he is able to use some campaign cash for legal stuff. Seems like this could be a big deal the last few weeks of the campaign if true.

I've Googled this but get different opinions. Thoughts on this?

1. Trump sponges off others.

He wants to be president so he can sponge off 350 million of us.

2. $5 million per month on lawyers

Is a lot of money, but presidential campaigns bring in like 10 times that during election years.

3. And his new cash cow::: the RNC.

4. Next thing, TFG will claim election interference because he wasn't able to use his campaign funds for campaining.

I know it WILL be bullshit, but that's what he's all about. HIM, HIM, HIM.

5. That is the hope

Break him financially, and also keep him tied up in courts so he can't campaign.

6. Trump could move into an '84 Econoline van and park it in a Wal-Mart parking lot...

…and the media would give him 24 hour coverage. He doesn’t need cash to campaign.

7. It already has.

8. Hopefully it will.

9. I'm not a donor to the RNC and I never will be

... but if I were a donor, I'd be royally pissed if my hard-earned money were to be taken and used for any candidate's personal expenses. When a candidate needs to pay lawyers to keep him/her out of prison, that is a personal expense not something the political party should have to reimburse.

This would never be allowed in the DNC, so why is the RNC doing it? The donors should revolt.
