Trump team setting up legal defense fund for Russia probe: report
By John Bowden - 02/02/18 02:58 PM EST

President Trump's campaign has reportedly hired a law firm to set up a legal defense fund for costs incurred by staffers ensnared by the special counsel investigation or other legal fees.

A document from the Wiley Rein LLP law firm posted on the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) website describes the "Patriot Legal Expense Fund," which would provide financial support to any individual who "was an employee, consultant, fundraiser or volunteer" of Trump's 2016 campaign.

It's unclear how much money is currently in the fund or who runs it, but the Trump campaign made a payment of $10,000 to the Wiley Rein firm last year for “legal consulting,” according to ABC News.

Good.  The poor SOBs that had insane legal fees due to Obama’s lawbreaking should be recouped.  The O admin has practically destroyed the lives of these people to cover his, Hillary’s, and his Admin’s collective asses.

Sounds like a fine idea to me. Mueller's only stick in this farce is threatening to ruin people financially defending themselves. This will put a stop to that in short order.
