No he can't unless it's campaign related, I'm not quite sure where you're actually getting your info.
The pac is being investigated as well.
All that doesn't matter because he won't pay his lawyers and yet he is collecting money specifically for legal fees. That's fraud.
Whether he should or shouldnt be allowed to spend the Leadership PAC funds this way comes down to:
The FEC says it's fine. If he took money from a Leadership PAC and used it to have a tremendous week at Disney World, it would be fine. Should it be? No. But The regulatory apparatus says it's fine.
If you think I have this all wrong, Google things and post proof. I've provided a link, used the key words a curious person could use to see how this is playing out... I've googled your perspective. I do not find what you say.
I believe topics are being conflated. I'm clear that NY isn't about PACs, he can use specific PAC funds for lawyers, and he does not have to pay every legal bill put forward.
NY trial is about a specific amount of money and related to his ability to do business in that state. The ruling will result in him losing money. He hopes to appeal.
He has other funding sources and the NY trial is (edit: NOT) locking up all of his money or money streams.
Negates your own argument with your own words which I find fun.
That was a typo, which is now fixed. My default means of engaging on lemmy doesn't like the depth of responses we have.
You can have the last word.
If you get around to investing half the time you poured into this, can you Google the topics and see where things actually are? Lemmy will leave you with impressions that are skewed.
It's not even remotely half the time, we're not exactly writing thesis here. I do research and it's not on lemmy, but sure anyone who disagrees with you is of course unread and biased.... Sure keep on truckin buddy.
