Fine by me. IMHO fighting this Democrat lawfare is part of why I am voting for Trump.

An early priority of the next R Congress and Trump WH should be legislation requiring the DoJ to repay funds from its current budget to those whose trials resulted in innocence or whose convictions are reversed upon appeal. ALL defense costs will be repaid by the DoJ and each eventually illegally prosecuted individual will receive damages of $500 per day of detention and incarceration. This would apply of course to the J6 political prisoners.

It was not clear whether those legal fees were associated with complying with federal campaign finance law or with investigations into Trump's effort to overturn the 2020 election.

It is clear that the multiple lawsuits are a lawfare effort timed to interfere with the Trump 2024 election effort. A small fortune is being spent waging lawfare efforts.

Well, the legal cases have pushed Trump into the lead for the Republican nomination and also for the general election in November so maybe the legal fees are campaign fund money well spent.

Rona Mcdaniels spending millions of fine dining, hotels and limos does not seem to have helped Haley or Desantis. One can argue Trumps legal spending is the most effective political campaign spending in recent times.

The money being spent on these attack suits should be considered in kind political contributions and regulated as such.

The same with corporate money being used to “fortify democracy” or whatever other Orwellian phrase they are using to cover the fact that they are interfering with a government process.

This is the main reason for the lawfare.

And the answer is for Trump to respond in kind after being re-elected in November and Bankrupt every last one of them using THEIR RULES. Why Red State Governors have not done this yet is beyond me.

>>>It bothers me a great deal as well.

I gather the RNC has a meager $7 million cash on hand for perhaps a half billion dollar GE campaign.

This is wholly inadequate to mount a presidential run for PDJT and basically leaves all down ballot candidates high and dry to fend for themselves.

The board nevertrumpers are now working on killing Trumps support in the general election, since he appears he will be the republican presidential nominee....

Many of them would rather have biden or who ever the left runs for president, than have Trump re-elected.

Considering how many lies and mis-leading things they have said, don’t believe them, when they claim they are still going to vote for Trump, as they keep attacking him.

“So they attack him legally (lawfare)...and then complain about him spending $$ on legal costs.”

And fail to mention these are all Democrat attacks. If the GOP ever attacked Democrats they would scream and seethe constantly about ethics and attacking political opponents.

Trump has spent over 50 million in his defense. I just wonder how many hundreds of millions have been spent by authorities in persecuting him.

I think Trump got $27 million in positive publicity as he fought his way through these obviously kangaroo courts.
