I'll venture a theory. Chatfield and Shirkey went to D.C. recently to talk to Trump. For the record, Walberg tagged along. They got a lot of heat for this and criticism related to political bribery (support of the kind that is happening right now). Proof of this could amount to felony treason and 20 years in prison.

Honestly, I think those two idiots took this serious enough to keep their shit clean and not get their hands dirty. You didn't see them sign their name to anything.

What's to stop them from having their associates do it for them. I think they just passed it off to their fellow republicans in return for the promise of a future favor.
