yes, I dislike Trump as much as the next person, but this is a red herring

  Only if we're willing to assume that Trump's lawyer was doing things entirely on his own behalf. Which seems like an unreasonable leap to make given the copious evidence that he's acted to provide plausible deniability for Trump in the past.

    it's a relatively tiny amount as part of a mutual fund (chosen by someone else) Now a real president would have liquidated his investments and put them into a blind trust, but Trump doesn't have that sort of integrity. But it's a tiny amount in the scheme of things, I suspect he's grasping at straws and wants to dangerously rush opening the economy because he's more worried about no one going to his hotels or using his golf courses, not because of this tiny investment.

      The mutual fund isn't what I was referring to. Trump's lawyer has already been paid at least 1.2 million (likely much more) for pharma access to Trump. Which they "never received" but still paid the full amount over time. It's a childish attempt to be able to say, nuh uh we didn't do it. Turns out that's all you really need.
