Turns out, Oprah Winfrey’s buy-in on failed Democratic nominee Kamala Harris wasn’t as cheap as originally advertised.
When it was first revealed that the Harris campaign, which spent $1.6 billion on her failed bid and is reportedly $20 million in debt, paid millions of dollars to essentially buy the support of a number of top-tier entertainers, Oprah was quick to deny reports that she was paid $1 million — the billionaire media proprietor held a September town hall with Harris and appeared at Harris’ final campaign rally in Philadelphia.
While Winfrey acknowledged that her Harpo Productions staff was paid by the Harris campaign, she did not set the record straight on how much that amounted to. Thanks to the New York Times, we now learn that according to two people familiar with the matter, the full payout for the town hall was closer to $2.5 million.

It's too late liars. That said, thanks for the information. I'm guessing YOU NYT's press butt boys would NOT have told the truth if Harris had won but it's still nice to know Oprah is on your level...

Jon Corzine had a couple billion disappear from his brokerage firm either while, or soon after, he was Governor of New Jersey.
Also, NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio had $800 million disappear in the direction of his wife while he was in office. No one seemed to care about it.

The purpose is always skimming.
This could be a great case for Gaetz. If KHarris receipts show millions went thataways and the recipient says “no”, then someone committed fraud. Someone skimmed and laundered on a grand scale.
Winfrey will rat out anyone if $$ are involved.

“A lot of it probably came out of The Treasury laundered back to the campaign.”
Elon and Vivek need to remove the non-profit social justice groups and charities allied with the Democrat party from the taxpayer dole. Also the highly paid consulting firms, outside attorneys, and others non-government workers hired by the federal government.

The way they do this was exposed by O’Keefe Media Group.
They run multiple small donations using the donor list from ActBlue.
The individuals whose name are used don’t even know they contributed.
It’s going to be interesting now that this is openly known and there’s a new sheriff in town.

If an entity receives government grant money that entity cannot make political donations.

Pissing away huge sum of money isn’t a problem for that party it’s what they specialize note history.
It’s only someone’s else money.

Kamala believed she had a purse that would never be emptied and allowed everyone to take a little bit, after all with so much money it wouldn't even be noticeable.
