The Republican National Committee paid over $160,000 to a law firm that is defending former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. The payment was made a month before his testimony in front of the House Judiciary Committee.

The RNC paid $166,390 to the office of Mintz Levin for “legal and compliance services,” according to the committee’s monthly financial disclosure filing. The payment was made to the “Mintz Levin Firm Account,” the document says. Lewandowski is being represented by Peter Chavkin, one of the firm’s top white collar defense attorneys.

The National Law Journal noted that Chavkin was present at Lewandowski’s Judiciary hearing last week. Lewandowski made headlines during his testimony by appearing to dodge many questions related to special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on the Russia probe.

If not, this would be phantom income

4. I hope Republican donors are aware of the grift.

Aren't they also funding Trump's former security guard to the tune of $15,000 a month?

Even the hedge fund jerks have a limit.
