    Again I guess I haven’t explained properly.

    I am not accusing him of a specific crime.

    I am saying: look, he’s selling bibles, which will allow terrible churches to support his cause without falling foul of campaign finance law.

    There’s no evidence because technically there’s no crime. He’s just found a new way to rip the system off.

    Also: I don’t have access to Trump’s Bible sale records. Never will. Nor will you Does that mean we shouldn’t say anything about the fact that he’s cheating the electoral system? That right-wing churches can advance their power grabs without fear of prosecution? Even if it’s not illegal it’s unjust and dangerous.

        Trying to pretend this is money laundering

        Ugghhhh. “It’s a form of money laundering” does not mean “We can accuse Trump of formal criminal money laundering as defined by the law.” We’re saying the cunt is making it easy for bad churches to funnel him money. That is still bad, criminal or not.

        Wild criminal accusations based on nothing but vibes

        Do you read my replies? Again, we are not making criminal accusations. And it’s not “vibes”: We can see the man hawking bibles to free up his own money for campaign funds. It’s so obvious what he’s doing, that he’s put out a phoney disclaimer not-quite saying he isn’t.
