He Founded âStudents for Trump.â Now He Could Face Jail Time for Impersonating a Lawyer.
On the eve of the last presidential election, NBCâs âNightly Newsâ broadcast featured two skinny college students in jackets and ties, discussing the future of American politics. They were co-founders of Students for Trump, a grassroots group that had tapped the social media power of Donald Trumpâs populist movement â and of photos of bikini-clad women in MAGA hats â to become the real estate mogulâs standard-bearer on college campuses around the country.
âI see Donald Trump as reviving the Republican Party,â one of them, John Lambert, declared confidently.
Last month, Lambert, now 23, showed up in the news again. This time, he had been arrested in Tennessee on charges of wire fraud. According to the federal government, at the same time he was building a nationwide political network and serving as one of the most visible young faces of Trumpâs populist movement, Lambert was also posing online as a high-powered New York lawyer, eventually making off with tens of thousands of dollars in fees he stole from unwitting clients seeking legal services.
Lambertâs rise to prominence and recent indictment offer a cautionary tale of an ambitious young man caught up in Trumpâs allure â a get-rich-quick fantasy of the American dream â who allegedly managed to create his own reality on the internet, only to have the real world come barging in.
It also shines a spotlight on the chaos and confusion of Trumpâs ramshackle 2016 campaign, and the cast of characters who sought fame and fortune by riding in his slipstream. Trump ran as a âlaw and orderâ candidate. But time and again, the mogul has drawn outlaws and alleged outlaws into his fold, from former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and personal fixer Michael Cohen all the way down. Though he may be the youngest, Lambert is not the first prominent Trump partisan to spend 2016 taunting Hillary Clinton about her supposed criminality, only to end up facing prison time himself instead.

This is EPIC: Young, punk ass, snotty white kid actively campaigns for Trump, wants to put HRC behind bars, and is now facing 40 years in prison. LOFL
Karma .............
Trump will probably pardon him. LOFL ............
