Millions of dollars that Trump is using to support Republican candidates was donated to his PAC by wealthy fraudsters and their family members before they were pardoned for their crimes. Instead of crime victims getting restitution, Republicans got campaign cash from the felons.

Anyone accepting a $5,000 “GOP Dividend” from Trump for voting is looking at a $10,000 fine and 5 years in jail. It's illegal to offer, give, or accept money for voting. 52 U.S.C. §10307(c) Trump has already violated this law. But voters they will never be liable because they will never get paid.
