SuperPAC money is unregulated enough to pay court-ordered fines. Drain all the accounts.
Then drain the RNC to pay the 8-figure legal fees.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So, someone please take this idea and do it. Make one of these campaigns, but be very careful to make it neutral language. E.g., pay legal fees related to the case of state of NY against trump enterprises LLC or etc. And for the reason that it was an unfair that all these funds had to be expended on this outrageous lawsuit.
All sounds legit, right?
Except the sponsor writes a check to state of NY general fund.
I honestly thought about this. "Help trump get the justice he deserves"

ETA to "It was all a scam, the money was stolen by 3rd parties..."
See: https://www.npr.org/2022/09/07/1121447226/steve-bannon-fraud-charges
If you look up Grant Cardone, Aventura FL - you'll see that he's already got a "business consultancy" where the reviews are all about how shitty and scammy he is.
The one who started the GoFundMe page was his wife.

It's already been canceled. You can't use GFM to pay off civil or criminal fines.
It's still up on the site, I'm not going to link it because that seems like a bad idea. There were donations as of a few minutes ago.
You're right, my wife told me it was a ToS violation & I thought she read it online.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The wife of an investor has launched a GoFundMe to help fund former President Trump’s mounting legal expenses in the wake of Friday’s verdict in the New York fraud case.
The GoFundMe has a goal of $355 million — the amount that Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump to pay nearly in penalties in a civil fraud case.
With interest, Trump and his business could pay more than $450 million, according to the New York attorney general’s office.
“I stand unwaveringly with President Donald Trump in the face of what I see as unprecedented and unfair treatment by certain judicial elements in New York,” Elena Cardone wrote on the GoFundMe page.
Trump was previously ordered to pay Carroll $5 million last year.
Trump’s attorneys slammed the Friday verdict, calling it a “politically fueled witch hunt,” and said the former president will appeal the ruling.
The original article contains 232 words, the summary contains 141 words. Saved 39%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
