'Following criminal sentence, Trump turns to supporters for money'

"NBC News noted: Trump sent out a fundraising email immediately after being sentenced, saying he wants to hear from his supporters. The email links to a page soliciting monetary donations and asking if they stand with him after his sentencing."

"MaddowBlog obtained a copy, and it’s a doozy. 'They’re trying to sabotage the Presidential Transition process,' the fundraising message reads, despite the fact that Trump’s criminal sentence will have literally no effect on the presidential transition process, and it’s not at all clear who 'they' might be."

"The same message added, 'They’re trying to END the presidency as we know it — just before I take office!'...Apparently hoping to encourage prospective donors, the appeal also included this line: 'I WANT TO READ EVERY RESPONSE TONIGHT — SUBMIT NOW.'"
