He could not report those donations as ‘his’ because they would have demanded them for security, and he didn’t know if he could use them like that. He needed a good or better lawyer advising him at that time.
I just finished reading the Washington Post update re: Shellie Zimmerman. Are you aware that they have Zimmerman on tape telling Shellie to pay off all their bills? Obviously, he didn’t have a problem using the money for his own financial gain. Do you think people donated to the account for him to pay off his personal debts?
