People get into politics because of the money. Washington DC is an expensive and brutal town. Lives and fortunes can be made and ruined here. No organization is immune, including PACs or Political Action Committees. The slang for PACs that only existed for themselves was scamPACs. All kinds of dirty work is done in the name of moving money around. The most recent comes from the latest Iowa fiasco.
Tara McGowan has pilfered in the past too. This time she channeled $2.4 million from her super PAC to her private firm Lockwood Strategy Lab. Her non profit ACRONYM is the shady group behind the app used at the Iowa caucus.
The money in McGowan’s PAC has been active in an effort to criticize President Trump’s response to the coronavirus The same liberal donors are helping this as well as other efforts dear to Democrats, including Soros himself who gave $1.75 million.
There’s a lot of money in the swamp
McGowan worked for President Obama’s reelection campaign and formed ACRONYM in 2016 to oppose Trump. ACRONYM didn’t disclose its donors while PACRONYM has to.
The Washington Free Beacon uncovered the ACRONYM donors. The Beacon found Pelosi and Tom Steyer’s NexGen Climate Action Committee contributed. Soros and Donald Sussman, billionaire hedge fund investor, provided $1 million.
ACRONYM is an umbrella. Under it are PACRONYM, Lockwood Strategy, Courier Newsroom and the technology firm Shadow, Inc. Shadow developed the app that failed so spectacularly at the Iowa caucus The Nevada Democratic Party that followed Iowa avoided the embarrassment of that app.
Kyle Tharp is a spokesman for ACRONYM. He said Lockwood is “owned 100% by the non profit”. McGowan does not have an ownership stake in the company nor does she profit from it.
Lots of money isn’t going to stop Trump
That’s the beauty of President Trump. Washington doesn’t understand that he won on his own. That’s why he was hired. He works on a completely different level. It makes people spending this kind of money and failing miserably look like fools.
In their minds, it’s all about them. Those who work in Washington, DC are in their own bubble where ridiculous amounts of money are flushed down the drain. It was never meant to be this way.
So, has this chick been arrested or not. If not, I guess the pilfering done by her or her buddies at her orders isn’t illegal enough to bring charges against her. People have pilfered a lot less and got charged and landed in jail. It is called fraud, illegally moving money around for the benefit of covering up the trail of where the money landed up. I think that is illegal in all our states unless it is a democrat state.
You have to understand all Demorats are Crooked POS. If you are a Democrat and vote for them it sure shows your mentality not good
Dems are Crooked POS ? Surely that can’t be true . Let’s see there’s …….. , and err ….. And then there is ….. Hmm loo kg s you are right , the only good think I can think of in their entire party that is of any use at all is , that by product from the southend of their northbound mascot makes good fertilizer .Unlike the stuff they try to shovel on us daily .
Too many republicans in leadership positions do not have the balls necessary to even complain about this, let alone try to make a crime out of it. If it were the other way , the democrats would go wild with accusations and charges.
The term “Democrat” is an off shoot of the communist party. It doesn’t sound as bad nor bring to mind the horrors the communists preformed on people and countries.
