Trump campaign disavows pro-Trump super PAC
Washington Post ^ | 4/22/16 | Jose A. DelReal

Donald Trump's presidential campaign last month warned a prominent pro-Trump super PAC — which has put at least $1 million into advertising for the billionaire — that it is not authorized to fundraise on the candidate's behalf in a formal letter sent by the campaign's legal counsel.

The letter to the Great America PAC, signed by attorney Donald McGahn of Jones Day, stressed that the campaign believes the organization's efforts run counter to the anti-big money message Trump has emphasized on the campaign trail. It said that the PAC is "using the name, image and slogan of Donald J. Trump in connection with your fundraising activity in a way that is likely to cause confusion."

"In other words, potential supporters could be easily confused that when they make a contribution to your organization, they are supporting Donald J. Trump for President's campaign," wrote McGahn.

They shouldn’t be taking donations from grandmothers using Trump or other populist names to give to pro amnesty pundits like Sal Russo.

That’s the biggest problem.

If club for growth wants to use tech donor money for pro amnesty that is not as bad.

Good. Tell ‘em to stop it and if they have money to burn, give it to veterans charities.

Is Trump also disavowing any advertising they are doing on Trump’s behalf?

Now that’s what I call integrity. Very little of it going ‘round these days.

But, but, that can’t be right. Trump has never accepted that Cruz disavowed anything that came from a Super Pac. What’s good for the goose, is good for the duck(Donald duck)

Makes sense. No control over what is done in their name and the million bucks could have gone straight to DT.
