Yeah, who indeed? Most of the money is already redirected before the lawsuit is even brought forward, much less dismissed

The Trump campaign has relentlessly barraged supporters for campaign money, sending more than 149 fundraising emails since 11 p.m. on Election Night.
One solicitation sent Tuesday morning calls on "every single Patriot ... to help DEFEND the integrity" of the election.
Save America, however, gets an early cut of the funds raised. The fine print shows that 60% of the funds go first to Save America -- up to the $5,000 legal donation limit -- and then to the Trump campaign's recount account. Forty percent will go to the Republican National Committee's operating account.
Campaign finance experts say Trump is engaging in a bait-and-switch tactic with his supporters.
"He's saying that he needs donors' money for election-challenge litigation, but he's putting the money into an account to be used for his political future," said Paul Ryan, the vice president for policy and litigation at Common Cause

*Apparently is is up from 60 to 75 percent
