When it was clear that candidate Donald Trump would win the republican presidential nomination in March/April 2016 the RNC, specifically Reince Priebus, salivated at getting their hands on the Trump campaign donor files. Politics is a big business. Historically the GOP was dependent on big major...

Excellent observations that track with my own. How many patriots have been duped by the avalanche of email solicitations for money starting the day after the sham election. If they had read the fine print they would have seen as I did that contrary to the name of the new “fund” seeking contributions (“election defense” etc.) and the Trump/Pence logo, the majority of any donation actually went to the RNC.
A few posts down the same person posted a link to the following:
Donations worth less than $8,000 to President Donald Trump's recount account are actually going to his super PAC and the Republican National Convention.

REPORT: Donations To Trump’s ‘Recount Account’ Worth Less Than $8,000 Are Going to ‘Save America’ PAC, RNC

Supporters giving money to the Trump campaign’s election legal battles might be surprised to find out where exactly their donations — especially those less than $8,000 — are reportedly going.
A report published Wednesday by Reuters alleges that donations, many solicited by the campaign’s expansive text message fundraising apparatus, are being split unevenly between the campaign’s “recount account,” the Republican National Convention itself, and “Save America,” a new super PAC launched by President Donald Trump after the election.
According to the “allocation formula” — the fine print at the bottom of the Trump campaign’s donation landing page — 60 percent of each new contribution will first go to Save America, while 40 percent goes to the RNC’s “operating account.” Only after the $5,000 donation limit to Save America is reached, are any funds directed into the “recount account.” Coupled with the 40 percent carved out for the RNC, donors must therefore give upwards of $8,000 to actually contribute to the recount account.
The fine print does specify donors “may designate a contribution for a specific participant or participants,” and Reuters noted that Federal Election Commission rules would allow both Save America and the RNC “broad leeway” on how they spend donations.
To date, the Trump campaign has filed lawsuits in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and a recount motion in Wisconsin. Several state Republican groups have also filed companion suits attempting to delay vote counting.
Neither the Trump campaign nor the RNC responded to Daily Caller’s requests for clarification on the Reuters report by press time.
