For Trump Aides Caught in Russia Probe, Legal Bills and Paranoia

Four months as a communications adviser to Donald Trump’s campaign have turned Michael Caputo’s life upside down.

Since congressional investigators decided they wanted to interview Caputo as part of an investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, he’s drained his children’s college fund to pay more than $30,000 in legal fees. He bought guns for his home and office after receiving death threats. He worries about the stress on his wife and daughters.

The former Trump aide has had a colorful career as a media relations consultant; in past gigs, he spread U.S. propaganda in Latin America and hired a man in a chicken suit to taunt a campaign rival. He worked in Russia from 1994 to 2000, including as an adviser to the former president, Boris Yeltsin, and for Gazprom Media, which was favorable to Vladimir Putin.

Trumpworld is a band of traitorous criminals and con-artists.

May they all end up broke and in jail.

ETA: Let me add that I have no sympathy for anyone who goes to work for Trump. The man has demonstrated all of his awful personality traits throughout his miserable life. When evaluating his personal and professional history, I cannot understand why anyone would get involved with him in any way.

Caveat emptor, I guess.

time to get free college tuition for your kids -- at a state college. Bummer, I'm sure you're little ones are Ivy League material. Anyway, a little help from you and the wife would help. Vote DEM -- the ass you save may be your own.
