Trump is a scammer, so it makes sense most of his minions are scammers too.
This kid just looks like someone who wakes up thinking about white-collared crimes.
He almost got away with it.
The co-founder of Students for Trump pleaded guilty Tuesday to scamming consumers and businesses out of $46,000 by posing as a lawyer online and dispensing legal advice, federal prosecutors said.
John Lambert, 23, went by “Eric Pope” and pretended to be a New York-based attorney at a law firm called “Pope and Dunn,” the Justice Department said. He pleaded guilty in a New York federal court to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
Authorities said he created a fake website and claimed to have 15 years’ experience in corporate and patent law. They also allege Lambert pretended to be a graduate of New York University’s law school.
Lambert founded Students for Trump during the 2016 presidential election.
He ran the scheme from August 2016 to April 2018 and made several appearances on news shows, prosecutors said.
“Lambert’s de facto career was one of a grifter; he had never been to law school and certainly wasn’t an attorney.
He is facing up to 20 years in jail, but likely will get less than two if any.
The way our country is going he might end up being President in 30 years.
