That kind of backside-covering secrecy and conflict of interest cover-up are government failings that American Oversight senior advisor Melanie Sloan might have once protested. But the ethics watchdog who formerly helmed Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington abandoned nonpartisanship eons ago. Under her leadership, CREW occasionally targeted corrupt Democrats, including Maxine Waters and William "Cold Cash" Jefferson. But in the end, her radical funders -- George Soros, the Tides Foundation and the Democracy Alliance -- traded her in for rabid attack dog David Brock. Sloan then got mired in her own apparent pay-for-play scandal. After forming a consulting business, she reportedly solicited a $40,000 donation from one of her clients, Herbalife, to CREW, which published a website attacking an investor who called the company a pyramid scheme. Sloan now heads a crisis management outfit called Triumph Strategy with Michael Huttner, a far-left operative and founder of ProgressNow. That's the Democrat group of nonprofit satellites funded with startup money from billionaire George Soros and the Democracy Alliance, whose board members include former SEIU International Secretary-Treasurer Anna Burger and ACORN embezzlement cover-upper Drummond Pike. American Oversight ain't about cleaning up corruption. It's about disruption for the sake of disruption. ------ The Dirty Dem Dogs of Disruption, Townhall.com ^ | March 15, 2017 | Michelle Malkin Posted on 3/15/2017, 8:18:50 AM by Kaslin
