It wasn't a credit card. It was an American Express charge card secured under my personal credit in conjunction with the party. I would go through the bills, would be mailed to me at home. Every month I would go through it. If there was a personal expense I paid it, if it was a party expense, the party paid it. Now, I recognize in the hindsight, I would do it different to avoid all this confusion, but the Republican Party never paid a single expense of mine, personal expense.
