  1. 2 NYT: The anonymously sourced expenditures are so big that, in some instances, they are outstripping the #spending of #campaigns themselves, making #candidates seem like bystanders of their own #elections.

  5. A woman donates $1 million to Trump’s MAGA Inc.

    Weeks later, her son — convicted of federal tax crimes and ordered to repay more than $4 million — receives a presidential pardon from Donald Trump.

    Even more striking: the pardon request itself reportedly highlighted the family’s political donations.

    This is not necessarily corruption in the criminal sense.
    But it perfectly illustrates the growing perception of a “pay for access” system surrounding Trump’s political world — where money, influence and presidential power appear increasingly intertwined.

  7. On May 5, #MAGA Inc organized a “crypto & #AI innovators dinner” featuring #Trump at his golf club in Virginia. Among the attendees, acc/to 2 people…, was #JPRichardson, the chief exec of the #crypto company #Exodus, which donated $1 million to MAGA Inc. in Jan.

    “It is in the best interests of our company & its shareholders to support pro-crypto causes & candidates,” Richardson said in a text message. “We intend to continue backing similar efforts.”

  8. #Donors funnel their money thru #CPI [#MoneyLaundering; #DarkMoney] into a host of #conservative causes, from promoting “#Christian values” in #education to helping pay #legal fees incurred by what the grp calls “America First public servants.”
    …The org aims to be much more….One of the groups it has staffed & funded, the #AmericanAccountabilityFoundation (#AAF), says in its mission stmnt that it seeks to “advance #conservative messaging” by aggressively attacking appointees for the #Biden admin.

  9. A nonprofit that employs numerous Trump administration officials and is laying the groundwork for the former president’s potential second term raised more than 💰 $23 million 💰 last year
    – nearly a third of which came from 🔸a single anonymous donor, 🔸previously unreported tax documents show.

    The documents show that 🔸America First Policy Institute 🔸– a think tank that’s been described as a “White House-in-waiting” and has released a spate of conservative policy proposals
    – burned through most of the funds it raised, spending $22 million over the course of the year.
    That included the rental of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort for a fundraising gala that featured a keynote speech by Trump himself.

    Oh, agreed. #TFG is the front man. He's not fully controlled by the donors anymore.

    Besides, 👉large parts of the #GQP have been corrupted by #Russian (and probably #Saudi) #DarkMoney flows:👈

    In fact, I have called #TFG the most successful foreign asset in history, by now, I would include #Hitler's star spy, #Viereck. After all, he'd corrupted "only" 25 #Congressmen.
