A new legal defense fund designed to help defray the costs faced by aides to President Trump drawn into the various Russia investigations has yet to answer key questions regarding how it will vet donors and provide transparency about the contributors who finance the effort.
The Patriot Legal Expense Fund Trust filed paperwork Tuesday with the Internal Revenue Service and the Delaware secretary of state, declaring it will operate as a political committee and help defray the legal costs of “eligible persons” involved in the investigations.
The trust plans to allow both individuals and “entities” to make unlimited donations that will be pooled to defray the costs of multiple recipients, according to paperwork filed in January with the Office of Government Ethics.

i guess gofundme wasn't an option
i've lived through a number of presidencies and i can't remember one that was so corrupt it needed a slush fund to pay for the aides' defense counsel. i feel badly for most of them. they thought it was the chance of a lifetime to work at the white house.
i guess it goes without saying that the fund itself has some ethical issues.....
