How is this different than have a $50K a plate dinner with supporters of a candidate?

That happens all the time.

There is no point in anyone replying to you. That statement shows that you have no interest in having a discussion.

One goes to the campaign coffers to elect a person and there are laws that restrict how those funds can be used. Violations of those laws have resulted in criminal convictions. The other goes into their personal wallet. A massive difference.

Btw, the meme coin was up over 70% on the announcement.

In March 1979, Attorney General Griffin Bell appointed Paul J. Curran as special counsel to investigate whether loans from the National Bank of Georgia to Carter's business may have been illegally diverted to Carter's presidential campaign. (Curran was not appointed as an independent counsel under the Ethics in Government Act of 1978.) Curran deposed President Carter, who testified under oath for nearly four hours. In October 1979, the special counsel concluded his investigation. Curran found "no evidence whatsoever . . . that any monies were diverted from the warehouse [business] into the campaign." I contacted the Carter Library in Atlanta to obtain a copy of the Curran report, but was told it was still sealed. I were not able to find any records suggesting that the Carter businesses transacted with state or foreign governments.


In short, Carter's trust was messy. The Washington Post described the complex arrangement this way: Carter had "two fairly large businesses (particularly for the time), a cozy relationship with the guy put in charge of his business, and, at one point, the appointment of a special counsel to dig into loans one of his businesses receivedfrom a bank whose president ended up serving in Carter's administration." After Carter left office in 1981, the businesses were over $1 million in debt.

Billy Carter would create even more financial conflicts for his brother. In 1980, Billy became a registered agent of the Libyan government, and accepted a $200,000 loan from the Gaddafi regime. Billy defended himself from the scandal, which became known as Billygate. He said, "I considered myself to be a private individual who had not been elected to public office and resented the attention of different Government agencies that I began to hear from almost as soon as Jimmy was sworn in." A Senate investigation found that the President was negligent in not disassociating himself from his brother's foreign entanglements. Billy would only pay $1,000 of the loan.

Happy to have a discussion but usually anything that calls out Trump starts with those statements to try to dismiss the issue.
