AP: Where Did The Lincoln Project’s Money Go, Anyway?https://hotair.com/archives/ed-morrissey/2021/02/11/ap-lincoln-projects-money-go-anyway/The Lincoln Project has a lot to explain about what it knew of co-founder John Weaver’s sexual harassment and when it knew of it. The Associated Press reports this morning that they may need to explain where their money went, too. According to their sources and data, more than half of the group’s $90 million fundraising went to firms controlled by its founding members:
Despite the early warning, the group took no action against Weaver and pressed forward with its high-profile work. For the collection of GOP consultants and former officials, being anti-Trump was becoming very good for business. Of the $90 million Lincoln Project has raised, more than $50 million has gone to firms controlled by the group’s leaders. …
Since its creation, the Lincoln Project has raised $90 million. But only about a third of the money, roughly $27 million, directly paid for advertisements that aired on broadcast and cable, or appeared online, during the 2020 campaign, according to an analysis of campaign finance disclosures and data from the ad tracking firm Kantar/CMAG.
To some degree, this has been a topic bouncing around conservative NewMedia sites for a week or two, but it may be breaking into the MSM, finally, belatedly. I guess it's safe to expose it, now that Biden's been inaugurated ... and
Shampeachment 2.0 is sucking up most of the MSM's "oxygen".
