  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. Rhode Island Senator #SheldonWhitehouse tells a #GameOfThrones style tale of House of #Koch versus House of #Trump that explains the recent #TruthSocial ‘blow-up’ over “sleazebag #LeonardLeo ” and the #SCOTUS judges he helped #Trump ‘choose’! 😂 youtu.be/vHOZzjk_lAo?si=AcxAun

  4. Accountable.US found ties between Leonard Leo and the following groups or their lawyers that filed amicus briefs in the 14th amendment case:
    🔸Citizens United,
    🔸the Public Interest Legal Foundation,
    🔸the Claremont Institute,
    🔸Landmark Legal Foundation,
    🔸Judicial Watch,
    🔸Jones Day,
    🔸Wyoming’s secretary of state Chuck Gray and
    🔸America’s Future.

    “It’s no surprise that #Leonard #Leo is backing efforts to support Trump at the supreme court,” said Accountable.US president Caroline Ciccone.

    “Leo helped Trump draw up his supreme court nominee shortlist – many of whom are justices on the bench set to hear this critical case
    – and now, Leo’s deploying his rightwing network in support of Trump as he faces consequences for his violent insurrection. It couldn’t be clearer where Leo stands.”

    🔸Citizens United, a conservative group whose name is synonymous with the 2010 supreme court ruling that allows unlimited political spending by outside groups and corporations, filed a brief alongside Steven Calabresi, Leo’s fellow co-chair of the Federalist Society.
    Other lawyers tied to the society are signed on to the group’s brief as well.

    🔸The Public Interest Legal Foundation’s brief is co-filed with a man who has been featured in more than 100 Federalist Society events, and the group has received funding from groups tied to Leo.

    🔸The Claremont Institute has also received funds from groups tied to Leo’s funding network, and the brief’s author wrote a book that includes a quote from Leo on the back cover and featured in society events.

    Leo has complimented the chairman of the 🔸Landmark Legal Foundation as a “great patriot” and “our old Federalist Society stalwart”.

    The 🔸Judicial Watch president is also president of the 🔸Council for National Policy, which Leo has reportedly been involved with.

    🔸Jones Day, a conservative law firm whose attorneys authored an amicus brief for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, has given money to the 🔸Federalist Society, and the firm is where Leo, Trump and others met to come up with a list of supreme court candidates.

    The lawyers who filed 🔸Wyoming secretary of state Gray’s brief include a Federalist Society contributor who’s received a fellowship from the group.

    🔸America’s Future has gotten funding from a group that’s exchanged millions with Leo’s financial network.

  5. #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."
