The DNC said that the money they’ve paid for Biden’s legal purposes isn’t coming from their grassroots donors.
“There is no comparison – the DNC does not spend a single penny of grassroots donors’ money on legal bills, unlike Donald Trump, who actively solicits legal fees from his supporters and has drawn down every bank account he can get his hands on like a personal piggy bank,” DNC spokesperson Alex Floyd said in a statement to ABC News.
So…
It’s billionaires, pacs, and corporations paying for Biden’s legal defense?
This is the danger of our only standard being “better than republicans”. Win or lose, as long as Republicans keep getting worse, so will Democrats.
I’m not even against public funds being used for this, but what a ridiculous point to make. Money is literally the best example of fungibility: using money from mega donors to pay for defense costs and the money from small donors to pay for rent for campaign offices is not at all different from vice versa.

Also, the scale doesn’t compare. Trump’s legal fees are insane, this is a large amount for you and me, but not in political spending
People don’t want to have the discussion on if any amount is ok, as long as it’s not as bad as republicans, that makes it ok.
