A series of filing anomalies point to a Donald Trump camp that is either unaware of campaign finance law, or is actively funneling donors' cash to insiders, according to several experts interviewed by CNBC.
These "red flags," as one expert deemed them, include a total lack of disclosure on which vendors staffers for the presumptive Republican nominee are paying, an "unusual" six-figure payout to campaign staff for nontaxable expenses and what appeared to be double reimbursements for some employees' expenses.
When asked about the apparently unusual filing practices, Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks said in an email that "the report speaks for itself."
But experts said that message was not entirely clear, and at the very least broke with long-established protocols — something that would be entirely keeping in character for one of the most surprising campaigns in the modern era.
"In my view, the situation is significant if (what) we are seeing is a pattern that reflects serious problems with the campaign," Larry Noble, general counsel of the Campaign Legal Center who also worked for 13 years as Federal Election Commission general counsel, told CNBC. "If the report is speaking for itself, it's not saying anything coherent."

What difference does it make? Just change the language of the campaign law and fugedabout it.
They DARE not refer this for prosecution. Not now.
There is no law, as Hillary proves.
was he handing top secret information to the enemy in a time of war?
no?
then it’s fairly irrelevant as even that seems to warrant no action
Yeah, but espionage and in your face crooked national government doesn’t raise red flags? FU
Don’t get discouraged. That’s what they want us to do!
I thnk this is the best advice I have heard all day.
GO TRUMP!
Hey dont give up!
NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t get discouraged. That’s what they want us to do!
Spread it!
Perhaps Trump negotiated fixed fee contracts with his staff where the staff was responsible for all their out of pocket expense. And perhaps other candidates used cost plus contracts where the candidate was responsible for whatever the staff incurred. The red flag could merely be Trump being more cost conscious and making his staff more accountable.
I’m sure that they took a break in their exhaustive coverage in Hillary’s complete immunity to US Law to bring us this story.
Right ?
Hill will delight in many paybacks....hell to pay.
CNBC suddenly on the lookout for impropriety. LOL!
+1
But there is no criminal intent.
Consider the source... CNBC.
It’s okay - Trump didn’t intend anything bad.
So it’s fine. :)
Whaddya got to say about that, CNBC?
Really.. They wouldn’t dare.
But no one worry. The Feds are not going to prosecute candidates for president. Not proper.
So?
Did it involve classified information or something really important?
No? Then who cares?
You’re right. The MSM has absolutely no credibility. Why do they even try?
