Secret Service Is Paying Donald Trump to Fly on His Plane While Providing Campaign Protection

[longknife]

Oh my gosh! This is horrible. Taxpayer's $$$ for protesting a major political candidate. Uh, wait a minute. Isn't there a law or something about that? According to the author of this biased piece, “It's something murky” being done by Trump. Look at this! The law about it:



Title 18, Crimes and Criminal Procedures

Sec. 3056. Powers, authorities, and duties of United States Secret Service



(7) Major Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates and, within 120 days of the general Presidential election, the spouses of such candidates. As used in this paragraph, the term ''major Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates'' means those individuals identified as such by the Secretary of the Treasury after consultation with an advisory committee consisting of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the minority leader of the House of Representatives, the majority and minority leaders of the Senate, and one additional member selected by the other members of the committee. The protection authorized in paragraphs (2) through (7) may be declined.



So, it would seem to be something about the law that provides for the Secret Service to pay whomever for transporting their agents in the performance of their duties. Right?

It just ties in with what Trump has said, he's the first presidential candidate that will make money off of running for President...

Why else do you think he's using his own plane, and in many cases, holds rallies and campaign events in his own properties?

Campaign law says that the candidates have to pay for the things that they use in their campaign. Before Trump got the nomination, he was getting paid a certain amount for use of his venues. After he got the nomination? He increased the charges by three times the original amount.

Yeah.............Trump HAS figured out how to make money from a campaign run.

Wonder how much money he's going to be able to figure out how to fleece the American people out of if he's elected?
