Billionaire to Spend $30 Million on 2018 Elections. His Aim: Impeach Trump
New York Times ^ | Jan. 8, 2018 | CORAL DAVENPORT

WASHINGTON — Tom Steyer, the billionaire environmentalist and Democratic political donor, announced Monday that his advocacy group, NextGen America, will spend $30 million to help Democrats retake the House in 2018, with the aim of eventually impeaching President Trump.

Mr. Steyer also announced that he would not run for Senate or governor in California, as had been speculated. Mr. Steyer, who was a major donor to President Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign, emerged as the largest single political donor of the 2014 midterm election. His group spent $74 million to back Democrats that year, and $87 million in the 2016 elections.

But most of the candidates he backed in those elections lost. This time, he said, his strategy will shift.

Rather than focusing on climate change as an issue to rally young voters, as he had tried since 2010, he will focus on whatever issues will help Democrats win a majority in the House — in order to impeach Mr. Trump.

“We are really focused on removing this president,” Mr. Steyer said.

$30 million dollars should buy some pretty nice Russian dossiers.

Is Steyer a pedo?

I only ask as he seems genuinely panicked, on a very personal level...

"...(Tom is in Podesta’s emails)...."

Tom Steyer rapes young boys.

That's why.

This is simply damage control to stay out of prison.

George Webb says that:
Pizza = Drugs
Dominos = Arms
Not related to this email but I always thought Pizza meant under age girls. I remember the police arrested someone for pedophilia over an email exchange with Pizza in the email.

Maybe it means different things depending what circle they're in.

If one person is willing to spend 30 million.
I would imagine they could get enough for an assassination team.
