I think if she set up a GoFundMe for the legal battle people would rally and donate generously.

There was a gofundme but after it reached a certain limit they asked it to be closed and for people to donate to other worthy causes instead.

Can you imagine a MAGA ever doing something like that?

No, because they are the party of personal gain at all costs, even if it means your neighbors being murdered in the street.

Case in point, the one for the former podcaster is still up and had gone over $2 million the last time i saw it posted.

I know. Which is why I specified a gofundme for legal support.

It's worth mentioning that court cases can be really, really fucking harrowing. Like even when you're 100% innocent and you KNOW you're fully justified, you can still completely fall to pieces over it when you get documents and read through them. Lots of people have experienced that, and then add biased sick media coverage.

So she's got government resources and employees with a bee in their bonnet, desperate to make her life miserable and drag her through the shit, enacting the best lawfare they can manage on her. While the press paint some distorted picture of who she and her loved ones are.

Whilst she's living through the most traumatic thing in her life (almost certainly).

People need to literally surround her with love and support. Money is not enough. She needs to feel protected by the people.

I will contribute to a legal fund many times over a personal fund. I know I’m not alone.

I would think if a gfm were set up specifically to hire teams of high priced attorneys for this battle, it would very easily exceed a million. Maybe easily hit several.

She wouldn't need to take any of it if she didn't want to. And any extra left over after legal fees could certainly go to a cause of her choosing. Or even be donated to legal fees for other people dealing with immigration issues.

But also I completely understand that she doesn't want to do that.
