A federal judge ruled on Wednesday that #Trump broke the #law when he fired members of an independent #CivilLiberties #watchdog without cause in Jan, ordering the reinstatement of those challenging their removals in court.
In a 71-ph opinion, Judge Reggie B. Walton of the Federal District Court for #DC said that Trump’s dismissal of Democratic-selected members to the 5-person Privacy & Civil Liberties Oversight Board was illegal.

@AnthonyJK I know for certain, for example, that Prince Bonesaw is not donating to the RNC; that's illegal. But the Saudis COULD give that money to American organizations NOT covered under campaign finance law, at which point those orgs could donate to the RNC. That would probably still be illegal, but I doubt you'd ever prove it in court.
In the meantime tho, he doesn't have the cash on hand to either pay his bail bond, or hold a rally in Arizona.
