One week after congressional investigators subpoenaed Jan. 6 organizer Ali Alexander, a dormant super PAC sent thousands of dollars to his old consulting firm.

The payout, earmarked for the admirably vague “PAC management services,” came Oct. 16 from “Stop The Steal PAC.” At $6,000, the payment accounted for more than half the money the group raised ahead of the riot, and Alexander’s firm, Vice and Victory, was one of only two vendors.

Interestingly enough, the campaign’s only other vendor was “A Political Firm, LLC,” the company belonging to the super PAC’s treasurer, a full-time compliance consultant named Patrick Krason. Krason denounced the Jan. 6 riot and emphasized to The Daily Beast that his role with the PAC, as with his other clients, didn’t go beyond filing paperwork.

That task, however, appears to have been difficult. And the confusion may impact the Jan. 6 investigation, because while the subpoena specifically requested information about Alexander’s “Stop the Steal” group, it might not have asked for the right information—or at least not all of the right information.
