Dark-money groups fighting Biden’s Supreme Court pick also funded Trump's 'Big Lie' and the Capitol riot

Conservative dark money groups that are fighting President Joe Biden's nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court also helped fund conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and rallies leading to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, according to a new report from the watchdog group Accountable.US.

The Judicial Crisis Network (JCN), which played a key role in shaping Trump's Supreme Court nominations, last month launched a preemptive $2.5 million strike before Biden even named his nominee, accusing Biden of caving in to leftists by promising a "Supreme Court nominee who will be a liberal activist." The organization is one of many linked to a network of dark-money groups around conservative activist Leonard Leo, the co-chairman of the Federalist Society who was
dubbed Trump's "Supreme Court whisperer." Other groups affiliated with Leo, like the 85 Fund, have donated hundreds of thousands to the Independent Women's Forum, another group that has run ads attacking Democrats for picking judges to advance a "woke agenda."

JCN, the 85 Fund and other affiliates have spent tens of millions to shape the Supreme Court — but have also funded groups that played a role in the Capitol riot, according to Accountable.US.

"It should worry us all that the groups leading the fight against Biden's historic nomination of Judge Jackson to the Supreme Court are tied to the Jan. 6 insurrection and efforts to undermine confidence in the 2020 election," Kyle Herrig, president of Accountable.US, said in a statement to Salon. "With American institutions and our democracy itself under constant attack from every direction, the importance of Judge Jackson's swift and successful confirmation cannot be overstated."

5. And what exactly, are they gonna spend this money ON?

They gonna pay Tucker Carlson to point out that shes a black woman?

Cause, yaknow, I might not have known that otherwise


If these people have money to waste this way, they CAN afford a higher tax rate.

6. All of those tentacles lead back to one organization,

The Federalist Society. Sheldon Whitehouse lays it all out, you can watch his speeches.

Brett Kavanaugh is a member of the Federalist Society, he went to law school with Christopher Wray, there, they were acquaintances.

There were 4,500 complaints of Kavanaugh on the FBI tip line during his confirmation process, Wray investigated 10 selected ones.

These people just don't give a shit. I just read an article today about dark money and Clarence Thomas.

I sense that we are headed to being just like Russia.

9. I am begining to belive all the dark money is a result of affluenza

People with more money than they deserve think they have a privilege to use it as a way to get their way.
They will foolishly spend it on hopeless causes just to boost this sense of privilege whether or not it comes to any good.

10. Again, turn your eyes on Manchin and Sinema

Does Schumer truly have their votes?
