"Follow The Money"

For their legal defense? For their repatriation into society after serving their sentences? For cigarette money in the "Big House"?

Where does the money go?  Answer came there none.  And this was scarcely odd because:

The event is to take place on Sept. 5 at his country club in Bedminster, New Jersey, and is being staged by The America Project, a pro-Trump nonprofit based in Florida that is calling the reception and dinner “the J6 Awards Gala.”

...

Trump’s campaign did not respond to HuffPost’s queries about the fundraiser. A receptionist at Bedminster, however, confirmed that the event was scheduled but would not provide any further details to HuffPost.

It is also unclear what “awards” are be handed out at the affair. The America Project did not respond to a query about the dinner. General admission tickets are listed at $1,500 on the group’s website, with “VIP” tickets for sale at $2,500, while $50,000 buys a “VIP Platinum table of 12,” which includes hors d’oeuvres and a photo opportunity with actual “J6ers.”

Also unknown is whether Trump is donating the use of his golf club to the group or if America Project is paying rent and catering costs, which can run into the tens of thousands of dollars. When Trump’s “Save America” political committee, which he uses to pay his legal bills, staged an event at Bedminster in May, for example, it paid $80,533.74 to the country club — the profits from which go directly into Trump’s pocket.

He'll have eaten every one.
