I heard about this Saturday, and the question of "How does this even happen?" has been swirling in my head all day long. Yes, Rudy is obviously off the rails, yes the campaign has been run fairly incompetently so far, but there hasn't been any kind of official explanation/blame shift for this embarrassment. But it finally hit me tonight: after this election is put to bed and all the campaign paperwork filed, there will be a line item in the Trump campaign expense report that says something like "Four Seasons - press conference room rental: $10000". The campaign org is broke, and he is still soliciting donations for the legal fight (60% of which are going towards campaign debt payoff). This is either a way to hide money already grifted from the campaign coffers, or a fresh grab. Whoever gets to audit the books is going to have a maze of these shenanigans to cut through. I hope all the lawyers working to "stop the steal" got paid in advance...
