[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does this matter? Honest question. [/quote]

It matters if it's part of bigger pattern of foreign (ie, Russian, Ukranian, Israeli, Saudi, etc., etc.) money coming into the Trump inaugural fund. And where that money went. You know, pay to play and all that.

[quote]Yet beyond just Russia, there have long been serious questions about the money behind Trump’s inauguration — and where, exactly, it went. [b]Trump’s inaugural committee raised a truly astonishing $106.7 million, double the previous record set by Barack Obama’s 2009 inaugural. But what they did with it isn’t so clear.[/b]

In a report for ProPublica and WNYC by Ilya Marritz earlier this year, the chair of George W. Bush’s second inauguration, Greg Jenkins, said he was baffled. “They had a third of the staff and a quarter of the events and they raise at least twice as much as we did,” he said. “So there’s the obvious question: Where did it go? I don’t know.”[/quote][/quote]
