"SNIP......
As co-founders of the Lincoln Project were making millions off of the super PAC they ran, one of them, Reed Galen, quietly launched a little known dark money organization that may have enriched him and his allies even further, CNBC reports.
Documents show that Galens Lincoln Project and Project Yellowstone were directly linked. Although this partnership is not illegal, the arrangement could have allowed behind the scenes payments to firms with ties to the super PACs leadership or other vendors that often did work with the Lincoln Project.

(16,646 posts)Not to be confrontational, but there are plenty of reasons for that, most coming from within his own circle of morons looking to be "the most trusted".

(10,052 posts)Which is about the same time that Bannon and the gang was getting to be the only voices left. Bannon, Flynn, Gullianini, and the My Pillow moron were inside trying to push the most ridiculous crap. Pence was the last "sane" person left.

(10,433 posts)They are doing the right thing with their ads. And they were solidly behind Biden.
As long as they continue that path, I support them and their work.
However, I do like Meidas Touch even more.

I'm blocked on Twitter by Rick Wilson and Tom Nichols for calling out their culpability in #Traitor's rise.
After that I stopped getting in their face and haven't been blocked by the rest of the LP gang, but no way would I trust any of them. It was clearly a grift operation off the backs of desperate Dems.
Had the same whiff as Jill Stein in her 2016 grift for "re-count" funds

(1,850 posts)Not that they don't have problems, and questionable behavior by some of their founders and principals. Going with the premise: the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
They've gone after a lot of dangerous people. Rethugs are good at smear campaigns, not just LP folks but the folks LP has gone after.
I think they did help to sway some rethugs to vote for Biden. I'm sorry they are getting bad press, and having some issues related to some of their founders. I hope they continue with their project, attacking cult 45 members and sycophants.

(118,659 posts)to go and believe instead of going to Democrats. I would not hold against them if I did not think they would split Democrats too and be a third party if it comes to that. They have already split Democrats as this thread demonstrates. It is a potential wedge and emotional connections they have made so far, emotional connections both for and against. Not an actual wedge.
