Lol apparently there are emails from the committee to Ivanka saying the committee was being overcharged for space at Trump properties and asking what happens if they get audited.
The facts are continuing to reveal themselves with this.
First, they were able to raise $107 million for the inauguration "committee," or more than twice the amounts for earlier inaugurations. Lest someone try to argue that this just proves Trump's great popularity, they continue to look at the sources of the contributions -- whether they come from foreign entities and so forth.
Apparently, Ivanka was involved in hyping the charges for hotel suites, so the non-profit entity was feeding the Trump organization massive amounts based on the excessive charges that would become apparent in an audit. But the plot thickens -- they discover that $40 million of the total has simply disappeared.
I don't think this is different than the situation where a candidate takes money from his committee or PAC for personal use. If the money flowed into the "Trump Organization," that's really the same phenomenon.
The degree to which the Trump family's greed is exposed by this and myriad other episodes since January 2017 makes the entire saga seem like a continuous run of the Keystone Cops.
They all need to serve hard time. 99 years in the electric chair!
