”Some White House advisers are unhappy with Thomas J. Barrack Jr., Trump’s longtime friend and chair of his inauguration, whom they hold responsible for keeping Gates in the Trump orbit long after Manafort resigned as campaign chairman in August 2016, according to people familiar with the situation. Barrack has been Gates’s patron of late, steering political work to him and, until Monday, employing him as director of the Washington office of his real estate investment company.”

Campaign funds donated by his stupid supporters?

I would be furious as a campaign donor to be paying hush money. All those goobers who pay to attend his rallies are paying hush money and for seat fillers. Wow.

Gates was there during the transition, lots of crap happened before any of them became public employees.
