Went to another news article to find out what the “personal items” were that he spent donor money on:
“The scheme the Capitol Hill veteran orchestrated involved funneling charitable contributions between 2010 and 2014 from two megadonors who ran conservative nonprofits and using it to pay for a spy operation targeting a potential GOP rival at the statehouse in Austin, among other illegal and unrelated expenses including dolphin tours and hot air balloon rides.”
Ha Ha Ha says the Clinton Foundation folks who paid for Chelsea’s wedding.
Some hospitals and some colleges are set up as “non-profit” institutions.
In my opinion, from an ethical point of view, if you charge fees for your services, you should not be able to call yourself a “non-profit” outfit.
A lot of what the article is claiming is accepted and standard practice for many kinds of “non-profits”, to me the idea of forming a “non-profit” that also then pays you a salary is not ethical. An ethical non-profit that someone forms would hire someone else, not pay yourself.
Do not confuse nonprofit with not for profit.
What are the chances that this poor sucker would draw two of the three ClownBammy jesters on the Fifth Circuit for his appeal?
Jolly is an 82-year-old fossil.

That 82 year old “fossil” is a spring chicken compared to the 98 year old judge on your list! And I thought the Senate was bad. Ha ha.
