Billionaire Who's Bankrolling Bogus Anti-Trump Lawfare Caught Gaslighting in Real Time

The billionaire who founded the censorious LinkedIn platform is shocked, shocked to learn that his money is being used to gamble at Ricks. His surprise came during an interview on the excellent Silicon Valley-based "All-In Podcast," which is hosted by four wealthy tech founders.

Reid Hoffman was the pod's guest over the weekend.

The Michael Moore lookalike bankrolls American Future Republic, whose main purpose appears to be to Get Trump.

After Trump's announcement in 2022 that he would stand for reelection, Hoffman brought back from the legal graveyard the E.J. Carroll case by accusing Trump of defamation. Hoffman's advisor told the Washington Post that resurrecting the dead case was necessary because "the court system was an important part of the battle to protect America from MAGA.”

Hoffman is also financing the lawsuits against Fox News and Newsmax by Smartmatic voting machines. He hopes that by pressuring the networks to stop questioning the veracity of voting machines, as Dominion did against Fox News, it will hurt Trump. 

Hoffman makes no secret of his desire to put Trump in jail, characterizing his Get Trump effort are really to stop the "corroding [of] the rule of law," if you can believe it. Indeed, he told host Jason Calacanis "that it's not really relevant if" he thinks there was an actual sexual battery of the woman back sometime in the 1990s (she can't remember). A New York jury said the former president was liable in the case. Surprise, surprise.

Hoffman's angle is to bleed dry the former president's bank account while simultaneously torpedoing his ability to win the 2024 election with his vast bankroll used to fund the biggest lawfare cases against Trump and his friends.

Co-host David Sacks asked Hoffman about what appears to be the abuse of the legal system and he replied, "I think if he broke the laws that say he should go to jail. I think the laws apply to powerful people as much as they apply to everyday people." The catch is that only Trump has been brought up on these bogus charges.

A majority of Americans understand and have accepted that all of the legal cases brought against Trump, are total political BS and they aren’t eating up the DemocRATS political sh*t sandwich... Democrats love it and much it down like candy... The rest of the world sees it for what it is... Political persecution.

Shouldn’t the FEC investigate this clown. All of his lawfare funding is a campaign contribution for Biden/Harris.

Reid Hoffman should take care that the REALLY big dogs among the billionaires do not use the same arguments against Hoffman that Hoffman uses against Trump - “I think if he broke the laws that say he should go to jail. I think the laws apply to powerful people as much as they apply to everyday people.”

Hoffman may discover he has broken some very real laws, with some very real consequences, even for billionaires.

Alpha males do not surrender their prerogatives easily.

Yes but only in the hypothetical sense.

That sure would be too bad, hypothetically.

I think Microsoft bought Linked In. Not sure if they went public first.
