GOP operative found guilty of funneling Russian money to Donald Trump​

Jesse Benton, 44, was pardoned by Trump in 2020 for a different campaign finance crime, months before he was indicted again on six counts related to facilitating an illegal foreign campaign donation. He was found guilty Thursday on all six counts.

A Republican strategist was sentenced Friday to 1.5 years in prison for facilitating an illegal contribution from a Russian businessman to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign in 2016.

Jessie Benton, who worked for the pro-Trump super PAC and was a longtime aide to former GOP Rep. Ron Paul, was convicted by a federal jury in November on several charges, including conspiring to solicit an illegal foreign campaign contribution.

Interesting but it has no direct connection with Trump.

yeah. It's just more dirty money going to his campaign from a player in an enemy state. Nothing to see here.

But it's not like he benefited from the money to his election campaign.

The pardon by Trump for the first crime that benefited Trump has a direct connection and that the second crime also benefited Trump also relates directly to him.

Trump had no control over the pac

Trump had no control over the pac

But the more interesting question is what control does the pac have over Trump.

anyone thinking that they have control over Trump is making a serious error, unlike Biden, Trump is not owned by anyone.

Trump is owned by his foreign creditors.

 

[disciple Clint]

Trump is owned by his foreign creditors.

Not at all, those are business relationships unlike accepting money through your family members for the influence you have in government. Trump would not hesitate to declare bankruptcy on any one of those business relationships, too bad that people who sell themselves cannot do that because they are truly owned.

GOP operative loses appeal of conviction for funneling Russian money to Trump campaign​

A federal appeals court has upheld the conviction of a Republican operative who had been pardoned [for a different incident in 2011 where he bribed a politician] by Donald Trump in the waning days of his presidency.

Russian businessman Roman Vasilenko wired the money under his own name to the consulting firm, but Benton kept $75,000 for himself and gave $25,000 under his name to the presidential campaign for Trump, who posed for a photo with Vasilenko. Benton then filed a false report with the Federal Election Commission to conceal the source of the funds, the court found.

[Benton was arguing that the jury should not have heard about the previous incident.]
