ary Clinton backer paid $500G to fund women accusing Trump of sexual misconduct
Fox News ^ | December 31, 2017 | Robert Gearty

Posted on 01/01/2018 3:38:41 AM PST by BradtotheBone

ne of Hillary Clinton’s wealthy pals paid $500,000 in an unsuccessful effort to fund women willing to accuse President Trump of sexual misconduct before the 2016 election, The New York Times reported Sunday.

Susie Tompkins Buell, the founder of Esprit Clothing and a major Clinton campaign donor for many years, gave the money to celebrity lawyer Lisa Bloom who was working with a number of Trump accusers at the time, according to the paper’s bombshell report.

Bloom solicited donors by saying she was working with women who might “find the courage to speak out” against Trump if the donors would provide funds for security, relocation and possibly a “safe house,” the paper reported.

Former Clinton nemesis turned Clinton operative David Brock also donated $200,000 to the effort through a nonprofit group he founded, the paper reported in an article entitled, “Partisans, Wielding Money, Begin Seeking to Exploit Harassment Claims.”

Bloom told the Times that the effort was unproductive. One woman requested $2 million then decided not to come forward. Nor did any other women.

Bloom said she refunded most of the cash, keeping only some funds for out-of-pocket expenses accrued while working to vet and prepare cases.

The lawyer told the paper she did not communicate with Clinton or her campaign “on any of this.”

And this is why nobody should believe anything that comes out of a Democrat’s mouth.

It sounds to me like the New York Times wants the Clintons off the stage.

Media Matters founder accuses gay ex-lover of blackmailing him for $850K after breakup

Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2107394/Media-Matters-founder-David-Brock-accuses-gay-ex-lover-blackmailing-850K.html#ixzz52vw3UDHh

David Brock, the founder of the liberal media watchdog organization Media Matters, was blackmailed for $850,000 by his gay ex-lover who threatened to reveal information about the nonprofit group’s finances to donors and the IRS, according to dueling lawsuits.

In order to pay the handsome sum, Brock sold a historic $1.5 million home he owned in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, the author claims.

In a lawsuit, Brock says his former lover of 10 years, William Grey, contacted him three times after their breakup and demanded payment or he would embarrass him to his donors and report him to the IRS.

In May 2010, Brock says his lover sent an e-mail to him and his new partner James Alefantis that read: ‘David, You and James pulled this same kind of sick nonsense in 2008 to try to hide your financial malfeasance. Next step is I contact all of your donors and the IRS. OK? Do you understand?

‘This is going to stink for you if you do not resolve this now, I assure you.’

There is no statute of limitations on Fraud. The IRS can still go after David Brock and has good grounds for doing so.

Besides, skunks still smell years later. I doubt Brock has changed his ways.

Brock Money Laundering Scheme Exposed: 14 Pro-Clinton Super PACs & Non-Profits Implicated
zerohedge.com ^ | Sep 20, 2016 / FR Posted by Helicondelta

David Brock has 7 non-profits, 3 Super PACs, one 527-committee, one LLC, one joint fundraising committee, and one unregistered solicitor crammed into his office in Washington DC. Uncovered records expose a constant flow of money between these organizations. The Bonner Group, his professional solicitor, works off a commission. Every time money gets passed around, Bonner receives a 12.5% cut.

Follow the money : Say, for example, you donate $1,062,857 to Media Matters for America. This is how David Brock would have used your charitable donation in 2014:

1- Media Matters would receive your $1,062,857 donation The Bonner Group would earn a $132,857 commission Media Matters would retain $930,000

2- Next, Media Matters would give what’s left of your entire donation, $930,000, to the Franklin Education Forum The Bonner Group would ‘earn’ a $116,250 commission The Franklin Education Forum would retain $813,750

3- The Franklin Education Forum would then forward the remaining $813,750 to The Franklin Forum The Bonner Group would ‘earn’ a $101,718 commission The Franklin Forum would retain $712,031

In the end, Brock’s solicitor would have pocketed $350,825, almost a third of your initial donation! That’s a far cry from the advertised 12.5% commission.

I am in favor of ending all non-profit status. People will still donate to their churches and to real charities. The phony line-their-own-pockets foundations will crumble.

Only the Democrat media would believe that Hillary was unaware of this plot, when her campaign had taken over the DNC’s funds during the campaign. If there is anything Hillary knows, it’s where the money is that will benefit her never-ending quest to be president.

We knew this is what they were doing. There are a lot of whores out there who will claim harassment for money, and a lot of dems who willingly pay them.

Jeff Session met many times with John Mccain and Lindsey Graham so he will recuse himself from the Brock gay lover investigation. Plus his wife has worn espirit clothing so will probably recuse himself from anything to do with that one too. Basically he’s sleeping so he’s recused from being AG.

It also wouldn’t be surprising to hear that Hillary funded the T-shirts that were worn by the Puerto Rico Mayor.

1) Is this collusion to throw the election to Hildebeast? Betting there is an incriminating trail of emails.
2) Does it amount to an ethics violation that could get Lisa Bloom disbarred?
3) Whose money REALLY was put up to pay off the liars?
