The Trump family apparently can’t go for very long at all without doing something illegal. It must be in their DNA. Here’s what got the wire fraud ball rolling.

Former White House Counsel Norm Eisen made this analysis.
This is 18 USC 1343 wire fraud by Trump campaign
No way the other 99 really replied, so all elements are met
1)scheme to defraud 2)with intent to defraud & 3) foreseeable & actual use of interstate wire comms.
Barr won't investigate, but states can under analogous state crimes https://t.co/q9FUap2PIJ

Then George Conway threw in his two cents.
You’re totally right, Norm. Fraud involving money isn’t protected by the First Amendment, even when it’s practiced during a political campaign.

Also seems to be unsolicited & therefore a TCPA violation, no?
That would carry a $500 fine per instance…
…which could get really expensive for the campaign really quickly… I mean – if, hypothetically, everyone who got it filed an FCC complaint.https://t.co/qKAp0uYZsF— And ⇤ 6ft ⇥ rew (@andrew_ross) June 19, 2020

Odd; @JamesFallows and I both received exactly the same communication by mail. So now there's mail fraud as well as wire fraud.

I really need your help dad is a Pennsylvania Avenue ponce currently being held in a bunker. For this reason he cannot cash his check, what dad needs from you is your bank account information once dad takes what’s his you will receive the most beautiful of choc cake

And don’t forget, there will Dad’s lawyer fees after he’s out of office and all the legal furies descend on him at once. So with that in mind, be extra generous.
Trump refusing to leave the WH. I find that funny since he’s more likely to be escorted out and indicted while Biden is being inaugurated.
If the Supreme Court tells Trump he has to turn over his taxes. He may start negotiating a plea deal while still in office.
Well, somebody should look into this. As well as all the other illegel stuff th cabel is into.
There is no bottom to what these people will do. Just hoping Trump’s second term is a nice, long prison term.
Mail Fraud: What Does the Prosecution Have to Prove?
The prosecutor’s job in a mail fraud case is relatively straightforward, requiring only that the prosecutor prove that the defendant had a plan to defraud and used the mails (or other interstate means) to carry it out.
Did The Defendant Have a Scheme to Defraud?
First, the prosecutor must convince the jury that the defendant had a scheme or plan to defraud someone of money, property, or “honest services.” The courts have defined fraud as conduct that breaks a legal or moral duty to another person, causing damages. For example, substituting a lesser grade of merchandise than that ordered by a customer constitutes fraud. But because the forms of fraud are almost limitless, and the concept so obvious, courts haven’t given us more precise definitions. One has said, bluntly, “to defraud is, in less nice language, to cheat.” (United States v. Foshee, 578 F2d 629, 632 (1978).)
Violating accepted norms of public policy can also constitute fraud, as when the scheme violates the duty of honesty, fair play, and right dealing in business and general public life. Courts have held that all that’s necessary is a “scheme reasonably calculated to deceive persons of ordinary prudence and comprehension.” (Badders v. United States, 240 US 391(1916).)
In a mail fraud prosecution, the government need not prove that the scheme actually injured victims, or was even carried out completely. It’s not even necessary that the victim of the scheme had knowledge of its existence.
The above is a good link concerning mail fraud. I have been collecting the Republican begging propaganda they send my dad for several weeks. You can file a complaint on line and I plan to as soon as I get a chance. You can file a complaint
Another one to be Locked Up !
Fraud, clear and simple. Don Jr. must feel like a Nigerian prince. “Beautiful day to you my long lost father has died and left you a fortune in Amerikan monies send bank information immediately to this email address….”
OK, I got that email— repeatedly. Not only is there no way the other “99” replied, but there is no way this was sent to just 100 select people including this lifelong registered Democrat who actively worked on the Kerry, Obama and Clinton campaigns and made no secret of it. Everything about it is fake marketing, almost as fake as the Nigerian prince who needs you to help him spirit his fortune out of the country.
Liz Warren’s campaign just did the same thing. They only have “500 slots” for signatures to wish her a happy birthday and everyone has responded but me!
Really not seeing how this almost universal fundraiser lie constitutes fraud. What was promised and not delivered?
Same with those “300% matched!” letters and emails. Seriously, you don’t believe there’s a matching fund waiting, do you?
