Wait a fucking minute here: is the New York Times burying the lead that an employee of the Trump campaign is in direct contact with the head of a PAC and giving her marching orders!?

Inside the Worst Three Weeks of Donald Trump’s 2024 Campaign

People around the former and would-be president see a candidate knocked off his bearings, disoriented by his new contest with Kamala Harris and unsure of how to take her on.

Yes, because the New York Times wants Trump to win the election.

the lede

Cheating stupid laws = expected.

As an Ohioan, this feels like a really really big buried lede

There's a failson named Harrison LeFrak - did we just enter a Thomas Pynchon novel?

Who'd be surprised? Cheating is their stock-in-trade. It's how they roll.

Rules and laws don’t apply to Republicans—-haven’t you heard?

That's illegal? I think so?

Doesn't the article say that Trump himself has been calling the head of the PAC and making demands? (I read it two hours ago, so perhaps I've got that wrong.)

She’s the money, not the PAC head, no?
