  1. > What emerges is a picture far larger than a single election, a single billionaire, or a single political party.

    We have an election-equipment ecosystem that has existed within a far-right political network since the 1970s—one that election-security experts, computer scientists, statisticians, and cybersecurity professionals have been warning Congress and the American people about for decades. ...

    What we’ve uncovered is a decades-long transnational organized crime syndicate and a safety net established to protect the wealthy pedophiles in the Epstein files.

  2. Leonard Leo has spent decades building a well-funded network influencing the U.S. judiciary. As Senator Sheldon Whitehouse states @2:07, "a billionaire dumped on Leonard Leo a $1.6 billion slush fund." He outlines how this ecosystem operates--and why it matters for judicial independence and public trust.

    Worth understanding how these relationships shape the courts:

  3. "Military promotions were stymied by a former college football coach who could not consistently win the Egg Bowl. Texas, already racist and fascist and transphobic and misogynistic and corrupt, got even more so, thanks to its staggeringly corrupt attorney general. A hateful old billionaire bequeathed a billion and a half dollars to arguably the worst possible custodian."

  4. Seid’s $1.6 billion donation to Leonard Leo's Marble Freedom Trust is a landmark in the era of deregulated political spending ushered in by the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision

    The creators of the Marble Freedom Trust shrouded their project in secrecy for more than two years.

    The group’s name does not appear in any public database of business, tax or securities records. The Marble Freedom Trust is organized for legal purposes as a trust, rather than as a corporation. That means it did not have to publicly disclose basic details like its name, directors and address.

    The trust was formed in Utah. Its address is a house in North Salt Lake owned by Tyler Green, a lawyer who clerked for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Green is listed in the trust’s tax return as an administrative trustee. The donation does not appear to violate any laws.

    In an unusual maneuver, Leonard Leo was added as an officer to Barre Seid’s company. Seid left the company’s board, and his name was crossed out in state corporate disclosure filings. Source: Illinois Office of the Secretary of State.

    Do you have information about Barre Seid or Leonard Leo? You can reach Andy Kroll at [email protected], Justin Elliott at [email protected] and Andrew Perez at [email protected].

  6. #SenatorWhitehouse & others are calling for an IRS investigation.

    "Leonard Leo’s lavish lifestyle appears to be his reward fr helping anonymous rt-wing #billionaires capture #SCOTUS "

    People need to understand the level of elite donor manipulation is an operation, not a coincidence.

    ...the #BarreSeid bucket could blow another $30 million promoting lies about fossil fuels alone. And on & on & on."

  7. "the will of the people becomes secondary to the will of a radical Catholic weirdo from Central Jersey with a passion for enjoying fine wine and stripping away the rights of women and the LGBTQ community. As Burleigh puts it—and this is not hyperbole—'Medieval popes had less power.'”

    Greg Olear ends by encouraging readers to read Nina Burleigh's article — link below.

  8. "The horror of the 91-year-old reclusive billionaire Barre Seid—his name rhymes with 'parricide'—bequeathing $1.6 billion of his vast fortune to radical Catholic forced birth activist and Supreme Court fixer Leonard Leo did not hit home for me until this week, when I read Nina Burleigh’s article in the New Republic."

    I suspect a #BarreSeid #LeonardLeo LLC. It was chump change but done with the kind of sophistication you get from practice.

  10. @murshedz
    Harlan Crow is the bilionaire gifted to #clarencethomas, but his money is peanuts compared to what #BarreSeid gifted to #LeonardLeo and the #Federalistsociety. Crow's net worth is ~$2 billion. He chairs the family business with other siblings. Crow has three children. Barre Seid gave Leo his entire company $1.6 billion through a questionable tax dodge of $400 million. Seid has no heirs. The $1.6 billion is now in Leo's coffers and funneled exclusively through dark money.

  11. @Npars01 @flexghost
    Yes. She said #BarreSeid. Thank you. It would take 3,200 #ClarenceThomas junkets to equal what #LeonardLeo has on hand now. The #1.6Billion does not count the billion #BarreSeid has already given to the #FederalistSociety agenda.

    @BrennanCenter
    Carrying Thomas out on rails seems like a better approach. The man chortled when he and #LeonardLeo were talking about the most important man in the world #BarreSeid.

  13. @GottaLaff
    I purposely have not turned on television or listened to main stream media since Sunday. We all knew what was going to happen, and it happened. Tell us about #BarreSeid. He has given #LeonardLeo #1.6Billion. Let's see some FOIAs, leakers. Put a couple of #journalists on the story full time. Follow Leo around. Get tapes of private events. Tell us something we don't know. How hard is this?
