At least two former associates of President Donald Trump’s campaign are struggling to pay hefty legal bills stemming from the congressional and federal probes into Russia’s interference in the U.S. election.

A person close to Michael Flynn told Bloomberg this week that the ousted national security adviser is establishing a fund to raise money for his defense. Covington & Burling attorney Robert Kelner is representing Flynn as investigators probe his lobbying work during the campaign on behalf of Turkey and his contacts with Russian officials.

Given that Flynn is the subject of an “open criminal investigation,” as former FBI director James Comey testified before Congress, his legal fees could easily amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to Bloomberg.

1. I thought Trump donors were footing the bill. They're paying Don, Jr.'s lawyer.

The underlings need to think like a Trump. They never pay for anything with their own money.

4. Whats really classic

if we are to take this one step further the Koch's, the Aldelson, the Popes, the Devos of this bunch are footing this bill in some way some form----------------they support traitors, they do give money to the RNC funds.

Just like there names plasters on there meet and greet every year in Aspen, of in Washington at the CPAC, American Enterprise Institute, they might as well have a hammer and sickle motifs has a background

9. Aawww...poor Caputo whining about his kids at community college

Welllll....that's nothing that his kids getting a full time summer job can't pay off.
I was a single mom, my ex- contributed nothing to our kids' schooling. My one daughter did 2 yrs at our community college before transferring to a university and it was really nice to "only" pay $500/semester to take a full load of 12 credit hours each semester. That was 2 yrs of NO student loans for her to worry about later. She also worked full time at the movie theater..sometimes from 5pm til 1am.
My oldest daughter went to a 4 yr state university and has 4 yrs worth of loans... still worked 2 summers jobs at one time (a daycare during the day and Sonic in the evening) and occasionally 2 part time jobs during the semester. BOTH girls went graduated into good jobs, currently are living middle to upper middle class lives in the suburbs. Similiar lifestyles now, just different college routes.

From the article:

“Lucky for them,” Caputo said of those whose legal fees were covered by the campaign. “And unlucky for me. And unlucky for my children who are now going to community college.”
