Lincoln Project’s fundraising page shut down as scandals mount

The Lincoln Project’s fundraising page has been shut down, following a wave of scandals which continue to engulf the organization.

The donation page on the Lincoln Project website has listed as inactive since Saturday after a number of its founders resigned amid reports of sexual misconduct and misappropriation of funds.

The anti-Trump PAC consisted of a group of Republican strategists working to unseat former President Donald Trump, after criticizing him in media appearances throughout his term.

But the group imploded last month when multiple young men went public with allegations of sexual harassment against co-founder John Weaver which other members of the group reportedly ignored.

Last week, two former Lincoln Project interns also came forward with lurid text messages from Weaver who has since resigned from the organization. –– ADVERTISEMENT ––

According to the Associated Press, Lincoln Project leaders were informed in writing and phone calls of at least 10 specific allegations of harassment against Weaver as early as last June.

The group raised more than $90 million, but more than half of that was spent on consulting companies owned by the group’s founders.

The Lincoln Project needs to be investigated by the FEC, IRS, and DOJhttps://t.co/wKyiJfsOIQ— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) July 20, 2020

AP reported Lincoln Project leaders were informed in writing and phone calls of
at least 10 specific allegations of harassment against Weaver as early as last June.

But they were srill raising money hand over fist.

The group raised more than $90 million, and more than half of that
was spent on consulting companies owned by the group’s founders
.

The greatest effects of the ‘Lincoln Project’ won’t be to damage Trump - rather, they will simply confirm everything the average conservative suspects and hates about perverted, political, DC-insider grifters.

I think that was what finally sent the NY Times on the warpath. They did their job (while being protected by the media)...helping to drive out Trump, but the NY Times wanted to send a message to other people thinking of trying the same stunt - you will pay for it.

The Predator Project was not really about Politics.
It was about Grift. Weaver Preyed on young men.
They all Preyed on Rich AntiTrump donors, raking
in tens of millions of dollars. With most of that money
going to enrich themselves. Trump was just their fund
raising tool. There is blood in the water with this bunch
of grifters. I hope sharks tear them apart limb by limb.

The pineapple is apparently a sign that you are a swinger. I never knew that.

Sadly they were all too effective in spreading lies to hurt Trump, Loeffler, Purdue and others. But now they will all be collectively and indivudually picked clean by contingency lawyers, and you love to see it.

Nonsense. Political action primarily for personal enrichment is a cornerstone of the leftie establishment.
