Via #Maddow:

so… have they set this up so he can take unlimited money from anyone and just pocket it without declaring anything?

do they bother putting the word “transition” on the office door? or just cut a slot in it that says “insert bribes here”?

fact that Mr. Trump's transition team blew past the Sept. 1 deadline to sign the agreement with the General Services Administration. That document provides for a variety of services to be made available to the president-elect, including $7.2 million in funding for the costs of transition. But it also puts a $5,000 cap on individual donations to the transition and requires the public disclosure of all its donors. By refusing to sign that agreement, Mr. Trump effectively faces no limit on contributions and does not need to name his donors publicly. Money raised by the transition is not regulated by any other government agency.

I seem to recall they never accounted for the donations and expenditures for Trump's inauguration in 2017, as required by law, meaning he pocketed millions because no one ever enforces the law against him. This is the same thing all over again, only worse. Everything is a grift and all legal safeguards have been removed.

Exponentially worse indeed. Remember, this is the moron who during his national security briefing as a candidate in 2016 asked the generals there, "Why can't we use nukes?"...THREE TIMES.

Republican billionaires prefer dumb presidents...they make better crooks.

GOP voters are indifferent to Trump's graft or the Russian oligarchs involved in his inaugural.

Why Trump’s inauguration money is a major part of Mueller’s Russia investigation

Russia-tied donations and oligarch connections have drawn Mueller’s interest.
