Who paid for and organized the "Save America" rally that Trump spoke at on Wednesday?


Also: How was Trump's appearance at the rally arranged? Whom did Trump speak to? Who spoke to the organizers on his behalf?

1. I read somewhere that Alex Jones gave $500,000 towards it.

So he essentially is funding terrorists.

9. Just Wow...

Funding domestic terrorism has to run afoul of many federal statutes. Maybe he should get a Medal of Freedom...

4. I suspect at least one of the names we'll find is Vladimir Putin, if only through a shell company.

Mr. Miller and Mr Bannon likewise had something to do with the planning, direction, and tactical advice. I am sure they deserve Co-producer credit for it.

6. I concur.

The success of this event - from a Vlad and his Russian Mob viewpoint was quite glorious. Getting Americans to turn on their country has been their mission since the birth of social media.

No doubt, there is Russian money funding the insurrection. If so, that's an act of war.

According to reporting by the Alabama Political Reporter, RLDF is listed as a participating organization for the March to Save America on the march’s now defunct, though archived, website, along with Stop the Steal, Tea Party Patriots, and Turning Point Action.

But it gets worse. As reported by Documented, RLDF did more than just lend their name to a laundry list of participating organizations. They paid for robocalls to encourage folks to march to the Capitol building to “stop the steal.” We all know what happened next.

“I’m calling for the Rule of Law Defense Fund with an important message,” the robocall stated, according to Documented. “The march to save America is tomorrow in Washington D.C. at the Ellipse in President’s Park between E St. and Constitution Avenue on the south side of the White House, with doors opening at 7:00 a.m. At 1:00 p.m., we will march to the Capitol building and call on Congress to stop the steal. We are hoping patriots like you will join us to continue to fight to protect the integrity of our elections. For more information, visit MarchtoSaveAmerica.com. This call is paid for and authorized by the Rule of Law Defense Fund, 202-796-5838.”

11. You can bet Orange Julius Caesar didn't kick in a dime.

His only contribution was inciting the riot.

12. If you dig deep enough, you might find

Funds provided by Vladimir's all-American Borscht and Shashlik Emporium, in St. Petersburg, Florida, although it looks like someplace else was first listed after "St. Petersburg," scratched out, and Florida filled in over it. Anyone have an idea where Российская Федерация might be?
