Follow GOP dark money and you'll find most paths lead you back to one guy: Leonard Leo.
New names, new organizations pop up here and there but if there's GOP dark money moving around, Leo is there.
Long thread from 2018 where I connected nearly every Trump scandal to-date back to Mr. Leo:
@SenWhitehouse once said in a hearing on the topic of dark money being used to buy a Supreme Court:
‘…it’s like we’re on the football field and the other team brought baseball bats.’
He’s right. It’s time @TheDemocrats started playing hardball.

It is going to take a multi-pronged Herculean effort to undo the stain that was left behind by the former administration. Time is running out and McConnell is lurking like a vulture to pick at the carcass of our democracy if @TheDemocrats are not up to the task at hand.
If @SenSchumer won’t act to protect women, or votes, or act as a check on the Judiciary, or ensure oversight of DOJ in the Executive Branch, or get his caucus to see the gravity of the moment, then he is tacitly relinquishing the powers of Congress & the seat he holds. Change him
If the Democrats in Washington want to actually, you know, DO something to fight back against the dark money forces that have subverted SCOTUS & approved the #TexasAbortionBan, figure out #WhoOwnsKavanaugh.
It's both popular w/Dem voters AND the right thing to do.

The only politician who seems remotely interested in this is @SenWhitehouse, who is patiently explaining how dark money works. He needs help.

Since he's been in the news this week, let's talk about Brett Kavanaugh. There's lots to say. @LincolnsBible and I covered it extensively in our five-part series, which I'm highlighting here.

2/ We outline the strange circumstances that created an opening on the Supreme Court for Brett Kavanaugh.
Characters: Anthony Kennedy pere et fils; Justin Kennedy; Judge Alex Kosinski; Leonard Leo/Federalist Society.

Regarding Brett Kavanaugh’s association with the Federalist Society:
During his April 2004 confirmation for the DC Circuit, he told Senator Durbin that FedSoc “does not take position on issues. It does not have a platform.”
I think he lied.

Kavanaugh’s response seems disingenuous, as ten months before he made that statement to Durbin under oath, he’d received an email—at his White House account—from FedSoc’s Joel Pardue. The subject was “Tasks.”

The tasking was directed by the Federalist Society, and was part of the organization’s campaign to confirm one of George W. Bush’s judicial nominees.
FedSoc’s Pardue and C. Boyden Gray had tasks—as did Brett Kavanaugh.

No mention of where Kavanaugh stayed, who paid for his stay, or if he stayed with a friend. No mention of who paid for food/BEER.

Given @gregolear @LincolnsBible @SpicyFiles and my financial analysis of Kavanaugh's family finances, he didn't have a spare $500 laying around in 2015.

One of the questions I’d want to ask Kavanaugh is whether he has direct knowledge of who are the individuals behind the group who committed $10M to getting him nominated,spent $7M to ensure Garland was blocked & spent $10M making sure Gorsuch was seated👇 huffingtonpost.com/entry/opinion-…
I would also ask Kavanaugh if a case came up that gave the Supreme Court the ability to make sure that its completely transparent to the public WHO is donating & how much is being donated would he support that transparency or continue to hide behind the #CitizensUnited case law
Between these questions 👇 & questions about his $200k debt disappearing maybe we can figure out
