1973: A tiny and fragile Roger Stone pays operatives to infiltrate the Democratic Party for Richard Nixon. Yes that's Paul Manafort on the right, back when he spun commie war lords as freedom fighters. dks.library.kent.edu/?a=d&d=dks1973… 
America was consumed with the idea that a President would use dirty tricks during an election. Some of the insiders threatened to talk unless they were pardoned. newyorker.com/news/daily-com…
Stone was outed as a bagman, who would take cash from wealthy people and make things happen politically. worked for Nixon, then Reagan, then Trump. Remember. Stone is infamous for moving money. A Serial Bagman as he is described. here:propertyofthepeople.org/2018/09/07/fbi…
What would Stone talk about that required not only Billy Barr intercepting his sentence, but Donny Trump making sure he didn't end up as a prison bitch? (Bubba notices Nixon Tattoo on back) Oh look Roy Cohn. We will never know. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
A bagman is "an agent who collects or distributes the proceeds of illicit activities." Who could be a bagman for Trump? Who was sent to foreign nations on Quid Pro Quo junkets? Ukraine?, Israel?, UAE?, KSA?, Russia? The list is long. But it's layered. newyorker.com/news/our-colum…
Being the bagman's bagman has it's own dilemmas. In the Trump era it seems to start with people like Rohrabacher and Behrends who suddenly start campaigning for Putin against the Magnitsky Act. thedailybeast.com/paul-behrends-…
George Nader moved money to Elliott Broidy from the UAE. Nader went on the Seychelles junket with Prince. Nader has worked with Erik Prince since the late 2000's. A lot of the ideas Nader was promoting in the White House got done lickety split style.insidearabia.com/whos-protectin…
We knew Donny needed dough. But he was mob enough to send Jr to meetings. Don had a lot of Jrs and a lot of meetings with a lot of bagmen about a lot of money things. It was like a bad Oceans 11 remake. Badda Bing Badda Boom. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/styl…
Jr number one was Jared Kushner. In 2015, a guy from a criminal family who was willing to work for cash harder than a methed up lot lizard The guy who Daddy in Law Donny let singlehandedly ran our foreign policy. Quid to the Pro.. Bitches. nytimes.com/2018/05/19/us/…
I have yet to see a chart of Donny's bagmen. In fact you can't even swing a bulging Samsonite with hitting a Trump bagman. How much money did Donald make from bagmen? And where did he put all that greasy cash? nytimes.com/2021/07/20/us/…
Oh never mind. I figured it out. businessinsider.com/kushner-invest…
For the TV version: tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.…
Scratch that...Trump already had the TV version It was called The Apprentice - Bagman Edition. Every week Donald assigns a desperate person to find money and say stupid things to keep his twitter mojo working. Fun, hilarity and reputational damage ensue slate.com/news-and-polit…
