“I knew he was being paid by some dem. He lied when he said it was “pro bono.” “
Here’s how it is done: Someone (I’m assuming here that it is some 3rd level Soros functionary) with a private foundation, or who is representing a large business, comes to this guy and says, “Hey, I like your politics and the image you project. I’d love to give you $8 million so that you’re out from all of your debts. Oh, and btw, I have this acquaintance who’s an ex-pornstar (not hard on the eyes, either) who apparently needs some representation related to some contract that she had with Donald Trump. So, how should I make out the check?”
Not one bit of that would have been in writing (except for a very carefully-worded engagement agreement for that $8 million), none of it would have been recorded, and it was worded carefully enough that even if it HAD been recorded, a quid pro quo could never be proven...yet EVERYONE knows that it exists. I do believe that he’s a scumbag, but he’s not that stupid of a scumbag as to mess this kind of thing up.
BTW, apparently this guy owes the IRS about $5 million. The entire $8 million (if that’s the real figure) would be subject to income tax at 37%, which would leave him with less than the $5 needed to pay off the IRS. Of course, the details matter, but that wouldn’t get him completely out of hot water, just mostly. See how the evil rich control you...they give you enough to live decently, for a while, and not one penny more.
