Levin Report
Kimberly Guilfoyle’s Leaked Text Messages Are Not Doing the Trumps Any Favors
It’s been quite the week for Don Jr. and his new fiancée.

It’s been an eventful few days for right-wing royalty Kimberly Guilfoyle and Donald Trump Jr. On Friday, the couple seemingly revealed that they were engaged, and it was reported that, actually, the spawn of satan had gotten down on one knee a year ago but for some reason they decided to keep it a secret. On Monday, we learned that Don Jr. (along with his sister Ivanka) had been subpoenaed by the New York attorney general, and were reportedly refusing to comply with the order. And on Wednesday, ProPublica reported that text messages sent by Guilfoyle concerning the January 6 rally that preceded the deadly attack on the Capitol suggest Team Trump was even more intimately involved with the planning of the “Stop the Steal” rally than previously thought. Best wishes to the happy couple?

Here’s ProPublica:

Kimberly Guilfoyle, a top fundraiser for former president Donald Trump and the girlfriend of his son Donald Trump Jr., boasted to a GOP operative that she had raised $3 million for the rally that helped fuel the January 6 Capitol riot. In a series of text messages sent on January 4 to Katrina Pierson, the White House liaison to the event, Guilfoyle detailed her fundraising efforts and supported a push to get far-right speakers on the stage alongside Trump for the rally, which sought to overturn the election of President Joe Biden.

Guilfoyle’s texts, reviewed by ProPublica, represent the strongest indication yet that members of the Trump family circle were directly involved in the financing and organization of the rally. The attack on the Capitol that followed it left five dead and scores injured. A House select committee investigating the events of January 6 has subpoenaed more than 30 Trump allies for testimony and documents, including Pierson and Caroline Wren, a former deputy to Guilfoyle. But Guilfoyle herself has so far not received any official scrutiny from Congress.

Guilfoyle’s boasts of the millions she brought in reportedly came amid complaints that she wasn’t going to be allowed to speak on stage at the rally. According to ProPublica, Pierson says that the president personally set the speaker lineup and that there was nothing she could do about it. Guilfoyle reportedly responded that she just wanted to introduce Don Jr., noting that she had “raised so much money for this.… Literally one of my donors Julie at 3 million.” Guilfoyle was apparently referring to Julie Jenkins Fancelli, a Publix supermarket heir who Guilfoyle had cultivated a professional relationship with during the campaign, according to ProPublica.

Guilfoyle’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, denied to ProPublica that his client had anything to do with fundraising or approving rally speakers, claiming the text from Guilfoyle “did not relate to the Save America rally” and that the “content of the message itself” was “inaccurate” and “taken out of context.” (He did not respond to follow-up questions from the outlet about the accuracy and context of the message.)

Junior's taste is in his ass. He must have inherited Daddy Dearest's penchant for "working girls".

[Blue Owl]

2. Damn that's a lotta lap dances!

17. a.k.a - thunderthigh 's !!

[Retrograde]

3. Leak on, Kim, leak on!

And here's a shovel in case you want to make that hole any deeper!

[Walleye]

4. Garland said he was following the money.The best.Is yet.To come!

[sheshe2]

8. Lol

[choie]

6. Spouses don't have to testify

against each other, right?

[Walleye]

10. We won't need her testimony she's compulsive about it. She'll just blab

[tinrobot]

23. Only if they were married before the crime happened.

No get out of jail free card for her.

[choie]

63. Ah - I didn't know that!

Thanks tinrobot!

[electric_blue68]

9. Awww - "too bad" Keep on, keeping on Kimmie! 👍

[lame54]

11. Are they in all caps?

[czarjak]

13. No one told me that there'd be Tacopino squirming. Delightful!

[viva la]

14. Weird tidbit about money Guilfoyle supposedly raised:

According to ProPublica, Wren told another rally organizer that she had “parked” funds with dark money groups supporting the event, and she routed approximately $150,000 from Fancelli to the Republican Attorneys General Association’s Rule of Law Defense Fund, which later purchased a robocall telling Trump supporters to come to D.C. and march on the Capitol after the president’s speech.

So there were robocalls to encourage them to march on the Capitol? Who authorized that?

[SergeStorms]

36. "The republican Attorneys General....

Association's Rule of Law Defense Fund"?

So she's giving the RAGARLDF dark money, which they use to purchase robocalls to come to Washington so they can partake in the insurection.

You just can't make shit like this up. This is too freaking much.

[viva la]

43. Yeah... I just don't get it.

All these relatively normal (previously) if Republican groups just... dissolved into powder because of Trump. And he's SUCH a loser! And so awful-- why are they all willing to break laws and subvert democracy for HIM?

It's because he's so shameless, and glories in getting away with being shameless. I guess they envy that?

[msfiddlestix]

54. These funding groups are giving for their own benefit, via campaigning for Defeated Former President

replacing The Former Guy (TFG) to DFP : Defeated Former President.


They fund anything and anybody that will protect their ill gotten wealth and evade/avoid taxes.

That's all it's about for these groups.

[viva la]

61. And there are all those grifters pardoned by TFG-

Bannon and Stone and the rest-- who are setting up PACs and legal funds that they're going to steal from.

They can only keep the grift going if the fools have some goal like "auditing yet another state".

[msfiddlestix]

62. ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ n/t

[48656c6c6f20]

15. Might be why Quday is marrying his mom

She couldn't testify against him?

[jmowreader]

24. Turns out it doesn't

Spousal privilege only applies to the crimes you commit after you are married. Guilfoyle can be forced to testify about this.

I expect her to “take the Fifth” so many times I’ll be taking a fifth of Jack Daniel’s about halfway through.

[jmowreader]

29. I know they're not done criming

I can just see it…
“Kimberly, let’s get married today.”
“But Don, I always dreamed of a June wedding!”
“Every day we aren’t married is a day they can make us testify against each other for.”
“How about a June reception?”

[malaise]

46. You nailed it

[LetMyPeopleVote]

60. This will be fun to watch

There was a spousal privilege question on the bar exam way back when I took the bar. I doubt that this will work as to communications made prior to marriage but it will be fun to watch

[monkeyman1]

18. Is donating to a insurrection legal ???? just wondering?

[SergeStorms]

37. Republicans don't care about laws.

They're not culpable. IOKIYAR.

[Pantagruel]

19. That witch

might be the reason Newsom will never be POTUS.

[maddiemom]

27. I KNOW! I can't wrap my head around the fact that Newsome is actually her ex.

It"s a major stumbling block for him.

[Ford_Prefect]

20. Do they have a family wing at Leavenworth?

[jmowreader]

30. They don't need to throw these awful people in Leavenworth

Sentencing them to life in a double wide and jobs at an Amazon warehouse close to San Francisco would be far more punitive.

[Ford_Prefect]

32. I'm anticipating a "rescue squad" since none of the true believers will accept the evidence,

or the court's findings and sentencing as legitimate.

Then again, it may also prove to be a case of protecting TFG and his brood as much as punishing them.

[SergeStorms]

42. Clean up crew in a slaughterhouse....

would be a wonderful job for the Trumps. Scraping chicken beaks off machinery, hosing everything down with bleach, and squeegeeing blood into a three inch uphill drain, now that might teach them some humility.

Nah, who am I trying to kid. They're incapable of normal human emotions, other than greed.

[jmowreader]

51. No. It's got to be an Amazon warehouse.

The reason it needs to be an Amazon warehouse is that the CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, is at the top of Trump’s shit list. Depending on Bezos to provide the money Trump needs for his hamberders and seven-foot-long ties would hurt him more than anything else I can think of.

[SergeStorms]

53. Oh, Trump hates Bezos....

of that there is no doubt, but I'm not overly fond of him myself. I'd hate to give Bezos the satisfaction of being able to do that to Trump though.

So cleaning a slaughterhouse was the worst punishment I could come up with, where neither of those egocentric bastards came out ahead in any way.

Six of one, half a dozen of another. In the end I'm positive we both want Trump and his progeny to pay dearly for what they've done. Hell is Trump's destination, we just have different paths we want him to travel on his journey there.

[jmowreader]

55. I can think of worse, if you want to go that path

Pumping grease traps at fast food joints, servicing septic tanks, handling phosgene at a plastics plant (it’s used to make several useful plastics like epoxy and polyurethane), fueling satellites with hydrazine, and moving bodies at a Chicago morgue. He might also do well as a night stocker at a Walmart, putting motor oil on the shelf.

[SergeStorms]

56. Now you're using your noggin!

All of those are good. How about combining them all into one big punishment-palooza?
Take care my friend.

[Ilsa]

50. Get them closer to their "base",

maybe in southern Mississippi? That would drive them nuts, even if everyone doted on them.

[monkeyman1]

40. ya , solitary confinement!!

[jmowreader]

52. Are you thinking...

…something like the “wiseguy cell” in Goodfellas? That might work.

[Hekate]

34. That's not nice. But I do bet my Guv wakes up every morning & thanks God that Kim is not in his life

…and has not been for many a year. She is scary-awful at this stage.

[Scrivener7]

59. You're better than that.

[TygrBright]

22. awwww, Screamy Kimmy not helping? I'm sure she's trying... n/t

[Historic NY]

26. Drip,drip,drip,drip.....

Leaks are becoming streams

[MiniMe]

31. I thought they got engaged a year ago on New year's eve 2020

Don't know and I don't care.

[calimary]

38. Didn't Guilfoyle used to date Gavin Newsom?

Glad he had the good sense and good taste to
Break it off. (I’m assuming he broke up with her and not the other way around.)

[Carlitos Brigante]

39. More like his first wife. nt

[Celerity]

47. Married, and people tried to call them the 'New Kennedys'

Thursday, August 5, 2004

At work or at play, seriously vertical or languidly horizontal -- fetchingly sprawled on Ann Getty's well-vacuumed rug -- Mayor Gavin Newsom and Kimberly Guilfoyle Newsom look polished as heck in "The New Kennedys," a spread in the September issue of Harper's Bazaar, mainly shot at the Gettys' house.

The headline was a surprise. "Oh, my God," said the Mrs., "we made no suggestion of any similarity. Public service, that's it. It's not a comparison we make."

[calimary]

57. OH YUCK!!!!!

What on earth was he thinking?????

[Celerity]

58. he was shagging his appointment secretary (his campaign manager's wife) around the time of that too

It started perhaps several months later.

He has a lot of baggage if he tries to run for POTUS.

Then again, the country elected rapist serial conman Trump, smdh.

41. The tribulations of being a future former first son's ex-wife!

And her lawyer denies that she had anything to do with the fundraising while her text messages say something different? She's practically a member of the family already!

[malaise]

45. So why do you think they are suddenly getting married?

[Kid Berwyn]

48. "Bread in the oven, baking."

Skanky.

[malaise]

49. Wife ca't testify against husband

Hehe
