Obama Campaigners Spent $468k Against Moore Through Shell Group in One Day, Now More Than $4M
Breitbart ^ | 12/10/17 | Michael Patrick Leahy

Posted on 12/11/2017 5:49:11 AM PST by x1stcav

Highway 31 is a shell independent expenditure group used by three secretive D.C.-based consulting firms run by former Obama campaign staffers as a vehicle to fund attacks on Roy Moore in the Alabama U.S. Senate special election. The group spent another $468,000 on credit extended by one of these firms Friday to buy a massive one-day media attack against the conservative Republican candidate.

The total spent by Highway 31 since its formation on November 6 to attack Roy Moore now exceeds $4 million, all of it funded either as an in-kind donation from these three firms founded by Obama campaign staffers or by unknown donors.

Wow...just seems that the Democrap party has money to blow. Guess all that money that got re-funneled into unions and other left-wing groups related to the “American Recovery and Investment Act” is still churning.

Perhaps it’s all OPM, the Democrats’ preferred funding source. In that case, we’re the stupid people.

You never do anything for campaigns on credit. You never get paid.

Wow! It truly is astonishing the extent of financial clout that the gay community is able to muster when they feel threatened. Judge Moore makes no secret that he feels that the gay lifestyle is sinful and unacceptable. God is really making Moore prove his faith.

Wasted money: they clearly don’t understand that Moore is probably the second most popular man in the state next to Nick Saban.

The Dems haven’t paid as much to beat Moore as McConnell and the RNC did. AL voters hopefully will vote for him in record numbers to show their offices are not going to be controled from Washington DC.

Greedy people who only see dollar signs and either blind or stupid to the facts of the past.

Granting credit to an organization with full knowledge you won’t be paid back has long been a preferred method of Backdoor Illegal Campaign Contributions.

You spend the creditors Money

The Creditor gets to claim the loss while illegally contributing to the campaign

The entity that guaranteed the loan now has that money to spend on the campaign, because they never intended to pay the creditor.

Nothing new frankly. I can’t get into the particulars, but I am privy to a DNC effort of throwing large cash into a race to pull out a squeaker win against an up shot tea-partier candidate back in the day. They have the cash, and it is frightening how well organized they can be when their bacon is in the fire.....

Wow, that should be a Roy Moore commercial but he probably can’t afford it.

During his victory speech tomorrow night, Judge Moore should thank those dems for spending so much $$$ to boost the Alabama economy, especially in the past couple weeks.

They know it’s war and costs much, and collect and spend it. They’re well networked, and put serious money where their mouths are. They like winning, owning, ruling.

We preach and argue with each other.

People donate to these groups. While the National Cemetery in Houston has sold only half enough wreaths to put on Veterans’ graves.

$4,000,000. Come Tuesday evening, I’ll be thinking about that as Judge Roy Moore wins election to the US Senate. Up in smoke.

America is slowly waking up to the RATS and their nefarious schemes. ‘bout time.
