MyPillow CEO comment to 9NEWS prompts state ethics investigation of Tina Peters

At that April 5 event, 9NEWS reporter Marshall Zelinger asked Lindell about his contributions to Peters and her legal defense against felony charges for tampering with election equipment.

Zelinger: "Mr. Lindell, how much have you raised for Tina Peters legal defense fund?"

Lindell: "I just put all the money in myself."

Zelinger: "How much is that?"

Lindell: "I don't know, I probably put in 3, 4, 5, maybe $800,000 of my own money."



********************************

2 x $800,000 is a lot of money.

PillowMan is almost certainly spending someone else's money. It's the same situation when it comes to him jet-setting all over the country, appearing at every Drumpf rally, etc. PillowMan is broke. He's on the hook for something like $2B for the voting machine company lawsuits (which he's certain to lose), and he just sold a crappy '80s business jet for a thousand times less ($2M) to "raise funds". That's a pretty desperate look. You don't do that if you're a big dough roller.
