GOP Operative, Previously Pardoned By Trump, Convicted of 'Funneling Russian Money' to Trump Campaign

GOP political strategist Jesse Benton was convicted Thursday of illegally working to funnel campaign contributions from a Russian businessman to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

The Department of Justice released a statement on Thursday boasting of the jury conviction, saying Benton “acted as a straw donor and contributed $25,000 of the Russian foreign national’s money to the campaign, falsely identified himself as the contributor and pocketed the remaining $75,000.”

I've been assured by some of the best and brightest minds of SW conservashits that the guy only committed a crime and had ZERO to do with the Twice-Impeached Traitorous Orange Moron or his campaign.

Assured.

@daisymay Twice impeached, and twice exonerated!

@fanuc2013 You should look up the definitions for 'acquitted' and 'exonerated'. They are definitely not the same thing. And he was only one of those.

You're welcome!

@daisymay sounds very believable. I’ve always thought the Trumpster was 100% honest 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@daisymay he was neither .

Republicans refused to do their jobs. Didn’t even allow witnesses.

Let’s see how he does in a court of law under oath.
