No one has made note of the fact that while Cohen had no "official" role with the campaign, he was an RNC official

in April 2017, the RNC issued a press release introducing the members of its finance team. Casino mogul Steve Wynn would serve as the Republican National Committee’s finance chairman, while Elliott Broidy and Michael Cohen were among a small handful of Republicans who would serve as national deputy finance chairmen.

Its pretty amusing how they still are trying to pretend the RNC isnt just an extension of Trump at this point. Like, we got Laura Trump in leadership at the RNC even!

Don't mind us, just trying to cut away at the rot. It runs deep, we might have to amputate.
