Could Jack Smith seize millions of Trump's fraudulent campaign donations?

BREAKING: Donald Trump gets the worst news to date about Jack Smith's investigation as legal experts announce that the Special Counsel might seize millions of dollars from his presidential campaign — a death knell for his White House run.

This one is just too perfect...

According to NBC News national security analyst Frank Figliuzzi — who was a former top FBI official — the Justice Department might seize huge amounts of money from Trump's campaign because much of it was raised off of fraudulent claims after the 2020 election.

The January 6th Committee revealed that the Trump campaign raked in $250 million in donations after the Capitol insurrection, claiming that the money would go to a legal fund to overturn the 2020 election. That fund was never created and instead the money was funneled to the Save America PAC.

"This isn’t over yet," said Figliuzzi. "When you raise millions based on a fraudulent claim, you’ve committed a crime. And, you just might have to give those millions back."

His remarks come in the wake of a new report from Politico which revealed that at least one of the interviews the Special Counsel conducted recently was "focused on fundraising and spending by Trump’s political action committee."

Bernard Kerk, the former NYPD commissioner who has been a longtime associate of Rudy Giuliani, was interviewed by investigators and "asked multiple questions about the Save America PAC’s enormous fundraising haul in the weeks between Election Day and the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol."

NYU Law School professor Andrew Weissmann appears to agree with Figliuzzi. He said that there could be a "criminal case about the Trump PAC and forfeiture allegations/seizures." Better still, the case would not even have to reach all the way up to Trump before Smith would be able to seize assets.

What do you think? Should the Justice Department seize Donald Trump's ill-gotten cash?

May be a meme of 2 people, beard and text

Sounds reasonable to me since Trump raised millions of dollars under false pretenses - based on the BIG LIE. What do you think?
I think Progressive is another word for Fascist
 
Without a complainant it would be difficult for Jack Smith to claim that he read the mind of every donor. How many donors would testify that the donation was not based on the 2020 election but on Trump's reelection? Smith just wants to delay the use of that money until after the election. This is all about stopping the 2024 election.
 
The four essential elements of the crime of wire fraud are:
(1) that the defendant voluntarily and intentionally devised or participated in a scheme to defraud another out of money.
(2) that the defendant did so with the intent to defraud.
(3) that it was reasonably foreseeable that interstate wire communications would be used.
(4) that interstate wire communications were in fact used.

Trump and his aides violated federal wire fraud statutes as they raised as much as $250 million through a political action committee by saying they needed the money to fight to reverse election fraud even though they had been told repeatedly that there was no evidence to back up those fraud claims.

^ What deranged Democrat desperation & lunacy look like.

Having said that, Jack Smith IS the most dangerous Democrat psychopath since Hillary, so his criminal antics should be taken seriously.

Once the sane folks looking on stop laughing.

Yeah; this is an insane stretch even for Smith.

Assuming this isn’t just another deranged Democrat wet dream.
 
Trump is under criminal indictments. He is out on bail; therefore, he does not have the same rights as people not under criminal indictments and not out on bail. Thus, he should be much more careful about what he says and does.
Which Constitutional rights has been stripped from Trump?
 
It was based on a LIE. It was obtained FRAUDULENTLY. Jack Smith reportedly has PROOF that Trump knew it was a LIE.

You’ve been told to believe the government can seize political donations of a politician that lied.
Do I need to to go any further here?

You leftards really need a new hobby. Maybe go back to saving trees.
 
Trump has a massive Web of Lies, and a massive Web of crime

They are all interconnect and related. Admitting there was no election fraud then means he incited a riot based on lies and made millions off of these lies.

Who's worse, Trump or the people dumb enough to give him money.

Of course they can.
The money would be returned to the donors and they're free to do what they will with it.

So your theory here is democrat politicians are going to seize money and give it back to people who don’t vote for them?
Uhhhhhh …..OK.
