The article alleges that many people associated with Trump have been the beneficiaries of generous financial rewards on or around the times that they were likely to be called upon as witnesses in his court cases. And anyone straying from total fealty to the boss had better think twice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=61686\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Threatens that His Cult Followers \u2018Won\u2019t Stand for It\u2019 if He is Sentenced for His Crimes<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.propublica.org\/article\/donald-trump-criminal-cases-witnesses-financial-benefits\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ProPublica article<\/a><\/strong> digs deeply into the nefarious underworld endeavors of Trump, who has always run his operations like a two-bit Mafia family with little regard for the welfare of others or the law. The article began by saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Nine witnesses in the criminal cases against former President Donald Trump have received significant financial benefits, including large raises from his campaign, severance packages, new jobs, and a grant of shares and cash from Trump\u2019s media company.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The benefits have flowed from Trump\u2019s businesses and campaign committees, according to a ProPublica analysis of public disclosures, court records and securities filings. One campaign aide had his average monthly pay double, from $26,000 to $53,500. Another employee got a $2 million severance package barring him from voluntarily cooperating with law enforcement. And one of the campaign\u2019s top officials had her daughter hired onto the campaign staff, where she is now the fourth-highest-paid employee.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>These are the sort of crimes that experienced mobsters can disguise as legitimate business activities. However, ProPublica does a thorough job of putting the puzzle pieces together to prove that Trump might have been trying to improperly influence witness testimony. Which explains why Trump is so worried about the article that he has already threatened ProPublica with a lawsuit for publishing it&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Trump\u2019s attorney, David Warrington, sent ProPublica a cease-and-desist letter demanding this article not be published. The letter warned that if the outlet and its reporters &#8216;continue their reckless campaign of defamation, President Trump will evaluate all legal remedies.'&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Those types of threats are a hallmark of criminal operations that get what they want through intimidation. <em>&#8220;Nice little news site you have there. I&#8217;d hate to see something happen to it.&#8221;<\/em> And ProPublica named names with regard to the Trump flunkies that allegedly received financial incentives to lie for him, or to decline to testify, as well as what they received. They include&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Boris Epshteyn, Trump campaign adviser:<\/strong> Benefit: Pay more than doubled.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Susie Wiles, Head of Trump campaign:<\/strong> Benefit: Payments to firm spiked, campaign hired her daughter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dan Scavino, Trump aide:<\/strong> Benefit: Appointed to board of Trump Media.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Evan Corcoran, Trump lawyer:<\/strong> Benefit: Payments to his law firm dramatically increased.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Allen Weisselberg, Trump Organization executive:<\/strong> Benefit: Lucrative severance package.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s civil litigation threats are too numerous to enumerate. He has been described as the most litigious man in America. Although most of the time he never follows through or, when he does, the cases are dismissed by the court, or dropped by Trump, for lack of merit. That, however, doesn&#8217;t diminish the harm it causes by making innocent parties waste time and money on malicious lawsuits. And it isn&#8217;t a coincidence that so many of Trump&#8217;s lawsuits are aimed at the free press that he refers to in Stalinist terms as <em>&#8220;the enemy of the people.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This threat by Trump, like most of those before it, will likely evaporate into the legal ether. But what remains is the stench of Trump&#8217;s malevolence and purposeful hostility toward anyone that dares to tell the truth about him. And even though it never seems to work to deter his critics, he can be expected to try it again and again. Impotent threats are the last refuge of cretins like Trump who have no other means to evade the harsh reality that they fear.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=60634\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Sues ABC and Stephanopoulos for Accurately Reporting a Judicial Opinion that He\u2019s a Rapist<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=60072\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump is Running a Mob-Style Protection Racket Whose Victims Include NATO and Taylor Swift<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=57553\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s \u2018Big Lie\u2019 Lawsuit Against CNN Tossed By Court Because Truth is Not Defamation<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newscorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The legal tribulations of convicted felon Donald Trump continue to pile up even after he was found guilty of 34 felonies related to his &#8220;hush money&#8221; payoff to adult film actor\/producer, Stormy Daniels.
