How many people can go to jail and be thrown under the bus doing trump's dirty work? Eventually it's going to come back to him.
With a personnel management track record like Trump's, how does he get anybody at all to work for him?

The Trumptards give their cult leader a pass on everything while inventing fake news to attack the other team.

This morning we learned that 2 associates of Guiliani were arrested and charged by the Justice Department for violating campaign finance laws. What does this mean?
Two associates working closely with Giuliani were arrested and charged by the Justice Department as they tried to influence American politics.[1]

Lev Parnas, Igor Fruman, David Correia, and Andrey Kukushkin, the defendants, conspired to circumvent the federal laws against foreign influence by engaging in a scheme to funnel foreign money to candidates for federal and state office so that the defendants could buy potential influence with candidates, campaigns, and the candidates' governments. The defendants concealed the scheme from candidates, campaigns, federal regulators, and the public by entering into secret agreements, laundering foreign money through bank accounts in the names of limited liability corporations, and through the use of straw donors (also known as "conduits" or "straw contributors") who purported to make legal campaign contributions in their own names, rather than in the name of the true source of the funds.

Months before the now infamous phone call between President Trump and newly elected President Zelenksy, Guiliani was in Ukraine trying to find dirt on Biden. He was working with his business associates Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman.[2] During the same period in which they were helping Giuliani in Ukraine, Parnas and Fruman were pursuing a lucrative deal with a Ukrainian state owned oil company known as Naftogaz. They were part of a group trying to install new management at the top of Ukraine's massive oil company.[3]
