Probably just lobbying for better lawn maintenance and more flowers at the cemetery he’s buried in. *sigh*

“It is illegal for individuals to make campaign donations under someone else’s name”

Not for the Democrat Party, apparently.

Well, being dead means he had no use for the money, and those left could take it and do as they wished.

Lying in Islam is an art form. The donation probably came from some terrorist org, put in his name, and the Islamic female goat used to it Islam’s good effect getting her into the US Government and US Secrets.

It is astonishing that with all the documented evidence against her for both immigration and election fraud that she has not been ejected from office and from the country.

I know. It tells us something we need to be prepared to accept by Americans as fact-that our laws no longer mean anything except to be used when advantageous by the government when it suits them-which mean they don’t exist as laws, but as tyranny.

But it is astonishing nonetheless.

It is illegal for individuals to make campaign donations under someone else's name, according to campaign finance law.

But it's not illegal to make a contribution when you're dead!
