WE LOVE IT. Use all that money on lawyers and court costs.

All that money that SHOULD be going to Republicans running for office, won't.

So please, no one is bitching about anything.

So the unethical, criminal, and wholly despicable lawfare tactics are working? You sound like a little tingle went up your leg.

I didn't make the laws or enforce them.

But I don't understand how someone can be mad a Biden for 1.5 million when Trump spend 50 million last year. That's all.

Of course “that’s all.”

No one bother responding to this shill.
Check their profile.

You are a troll who the majority of the time responds to a thread once, sometimes twice but rarely. You go into a thread and say the most left leaning thing you can think of then never respond to anything.

I have already called you out once or twice on this but will continue to do so since you continue to troll. Also, everything you post is an opinion, never any facts. I have never seen you post a link or even bother to try and back up what you say troll.

Let’s see if you respond anymore in this thread…

They have quite a bit. You can hear a dog whistles from a mile away, but an incompetent naked sex trafficking crack head only holding on to his corrupt position because his dad abused his power passes the test huh, NPC? The problem with getting him is that the senate is full of people like you. In fact, that's what's wrong with the whole world. Congrats, tell your kids to grow up to be like litterally anyone else.
I say put anyone who breaks the law on trial. Trump is on trial. Biden is too stupid, apparently. That's your champ

I had to laugh reading this. Fifteen minutes ago I read an article where they explained the Gen Z slang.

So now I know that NPC = Non Player Character.

Yay me!!

You didn't read the article at the opening post link.
It states that Biden, and the Democrats, repeatedly have.
And it's easily googled.
Many news outlets carried that Biden and his team mocked Trump for doing the same thing.

DNC Paid Biden Legal Bills as Biden Camp Attacked Trump For Doing the Same Thing

What Had The Biden Campaign Said About Trump?

In recent weeks, Biden campaign officials had in recent weeks attacked Trump for using his campaign donations to pay for his legal fees, with campaign finance chairman Rufus Gifford telling MSNBC this week “every single dime” given to the Biden-Harris campaign goes to “talking to voters,” and “we are not spending money on legal bills.” Campaign co-chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg poked fun at a recent Trump fundraiser in an interview with the New York Times earlier this month, claiming Trump was “hosting a bunch of fat-cat billionaires hanging out at Mar-a-Lago, plotting how to pay his legal bills and buy political favor.”

The Guardian

President’s campaign has attacked Trump for using donations to pay his numerous legal bills – but Biden used funds similarly. The news opens the Biden campaign to charges of hypocrisy, given its own attacks on Donald Trump and his campaign for using donations to pay legal bills.

NY Times

The money spent paled in comparison to the amount Donald J. Trump has used in supporters’ donations to pay his own legal bills, but it was laid out even as aides for Mr. Biden attacked Mr. Trump for the practice.

AP News

For months, Biden aides and advisers have criticized Trump and Republicans for their spending on the former president’s legal issues, which has left the GOP campaign cash-strapped and diverted resources from battleground states.

“We are not spending money on legal bills or hawking gold sneakers,” Biden campaign finance chair Rufus Gifford told MSNBC last week

The Washington Post

Biden allies have criticized Donald Trump for using campaign funds to pay his own legal bills. In recent weeks, some Biden allies have noted derisively that a significant portion of the money raised by the campaign of Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, is going toward his legal fees rather than to his reelection effort. While Biden’s legal bills are dramatically lower than those Trump has paid from campaign donations, the president’s use of political funds, which was first reported by Axios on Friday morning, could undercut some recent assertions by Biden’s surrogates.

“Every single dime that you give to the Biden-Harris reelection campaign, we spend talking to voters,” Rufus Gifford, the campaign’s finance chairman, said over the weekend during an interview on MSNBC. He added later: “We are not spending money on legal bills.”

New York Post

The Democratic National Committee used campaign funds to cover more than $1.5 million in legal costs incurred by President Biden during the investigation into his mishandling of classified documents — while attacking Donald Trump for using the same mechanism to pay his attorney fees, Federal Election Commission records reviewed by The Post show.

The DNC and the Biden 2024 campaign have vehemently attacked the presumptive GOP nominee for using campaign funds to cover his mounting legal expenses — and tapping grassroots donors to do so.

The Biden campaign has accused Trump of using a mega-fundraiser held in Palm Beach on April 6 to defray his attorney costs rather than focus on electioneering, claiming the former president is using “billionaire-reliant funds it has to pay off his various legal fees.”

“We are not spending money on legal bills. We are not hawking gold sneakers or any of that stuff. The money that we are raising, we are going straight to talking to voters,” Rufus Gifford, the Biden campaign’s finance chair, told MSNBC last week.

MSN Politics

A person familiar with the matter told Axios that Biden’s team debated the DNC covering legal fees after Hur was appointed special counsel — which came after the DNC criticized the Republican National Committee (RNC) for paying for Trump’s legal fees.

You don't get it. Biden and his team whined about Trump using donation money to cover legal expenses. Even though its LEGAL to do so. And then Biden goes and does the same damn thing. It's IRRELEVANT that one used more donation money than the other. The fact is that Biden and his team complained about it, pretended to be better than that, and then they go and do it just the same anyways.

Claiming 'my guy did it less than the other guy' is a cop out. It's childish.
They BOTH did the same exact thing.
Difference is ... one of them (Biden) complained about the other (Trump) doing it even though it's legal, and then Biden went and did the same exact thing after complaining. It's HYPOCRISY.

No paying off legal fees that are not campaign associated.

Honestly these legal fees Trump is paying with campsign funds is 100% appropiate because these legal cases are "election interference". Bogus cases where the prosecutors have been coordinating whith the biden administration. Of all campaign monies every used by any candidate Trump has the best argument to justify using them.

It's perfectly legal for Trump and Biden to use campaign funds to pay their legal expenses. The problem is that the people donating the money don't know that is what their donation money is being used for. Many probably don't care. But some do. The campaigns have to be open about where the money is being spent.

Right, I got that but my point was more than any other instance of candidates past and present using campaign funds for legal bills Trump's use of such funds are more so campaign fees because the cases and indictments are so absurd and ill founded and the prosecutors are working with Biden administration in a number of ways. The msm does not cover this as they are also part of the charade as well but having said thst the only way to keep Trump for winning the presidential election would be suspending the elections just like Zelensky did in Ukraine....to preserve democracy of course. What a joke
Georgia RICO case, really?
I guess Trump was right all along. The Georgia votes had many illegal and invalid biden votes counted and Trump actually won Georgia.

For those here who can’t see the difference between Trump using campaign funds for legal and Biden using donor money for legal is this…..

Last weekend, the Biden campaign's finance chair said on MSNBC that "every single time you give to the campaign, we're going straight to talk to voters…We are not spending money on legal bills or hawking gold sneakers," a reference to Trump.

Can Biden NOT be a freaking lying hypocrite about anything?
The people see it.
This is another reason Biden is shedding voters.

Asked about Biden's use of the DNC to pay his legal bills, DNC spokesperson Alex Floyd told Axios: "There is no comparison — the DNC does not spend a single penny of grassroots donors' money on legal bills.

Lol, nobody is "mad" about this as it is legal as FlyersFan has pointed out. The point was how the treasonous Biden team has villified Trump for using campaign funds for his legal expenses.
Did you see where the Georgia State Election Board has admitted that Trump did win Georgia in the 2020 Presidential Election? How long before the msm reports this? The RICO case in Georgia just got a whole lot more interesting wouldn't you say.

Oh please. If it was Biden you'd be screaming it was not appropriate.

Ahhh..no. Nobody cares, democrats have done this in the past, it is irrelevant however biden's team made a point to call out Trump for using campaign donations for legal fees and then did the same. How pathetic, he and his team should have said nothing but instead they said what they said and now they look stupid. No spin zone.
