Great convo @PreetBharara & @Anandwrites. Late in interview, in context of #Epstein donations to MIT/Harvard/etc: What for ppl/institutions to do w tainted $$$ they received?

@PreetBharara @AnandWrites @RepBrianFitz In case U missed it --& many in #PA01 did, b/c the story was not reported out by our main area dailies @CourierTimes/@TheIntellNews -- this happened👇🏽🙄

@PreetBharara @AnandWrites @RepBrianFitz @CourierTimes @TheIntellNews @BrianFitzUSA This is not the 1st illicit campaign donation rodeo for @RepBrianFitz (who, btw, is x-FBI supervisor PoliticalCorruptionUnit)-- there were also previous eyebrow-raising donations he accepted from high-profile felons like #AdamKidan & #ElliottBroidy

@PreetBharara @AnandWrites @RepBrianFitz @CourierTimes @TheIntellNews @BrianFitzUSA And here's #ElliottBroidy, a key figure in the #MuellerReport, who also gave MAX campaign donations to Fitzpatrick + access to 100s of 1000s of $$$$ more thru RNC & various GOP #DarkMoney PACs💰💰💰💰
@PreetBharara @AnandWrites @RepBrianFitz @CourierTimes @TheIntellNews @BrianFitzUSA All on same date Sept 19, 2018: Women's HumaneSoc, Boy Scouts, NoDogLeftBehind, LenapeValleyFdn, ConwellEganCatholicHighSchool, BigBros/BigSis, Aldie Fdn, 9-11 Garden of Reflection, + these👇🏽➡️all adding up to exactly $5400 = Fitzpatrick's #Broidy 💰
@PreetBharara @AnandWrites @RepBrianFitz @CourierTimes @TheIntellNews @BrianFitzUSA So the #dirty money has been well divested right, donated thru to various worthy #PA01 charities, and the dirty money now has been laundered clean-- but does that introduce other ethical problems? 🤔
@PreetBharara @AnandWrites @RepBrianFitz @CourierTimes @TheIntellNews @BrianFitzUSA In the @AnandWrites interview on @PreetBharara's podcast, Anand talks (~1:10) about the problem of #Epstein's donations to charities. The question is, who has the ethical claim on the resources now enjoyed by these charities? Who was the party actually harmed by Epstein's conduct
@PreetBharara @AnandWrites @RepBrianFitz @CourierTimes @TheIntellNews @BrianFitzUSA A process needs to be formed, a guide to restoring the corrupted funds in a way that benefits the injured -- following the #ethics of making reparations.
Fitzpatrick's donations of illicit Broidy $$$ removes the cash from his balance, but does not restore justice to the harmed.

@PreetBharara @AnandWrites @RepBrianFitz @CourierTimes @TheIntellNews @BrianFitzUSA In fact, it creates other transparency problems: how did Fitzpatrick choose these #BucksCounty* charities? Do they know *why* they received these funds?
(And hey, #MontCo, it appears like they were all Bucks County charities chosen, even though part of MontCo is also in #PA01)

@PreetBharara @AnandWrites @RepBrianFitz @CourierTimes @TheIntellNews @BrianFitzUSA Do the boards/members of those charities recognize the donations as coming from *generous* @RepBrianFitzpatrick, just before the 2018 election? Isn't this in itself its own conflict of interest, rewarding the Fitzpatrick campaign with 100s of constituent members' good will?
@PreetBharara @AnandWrites @RepBrianFitz @CourierTimes @TheIntellNews @BrianFitzUSA When looking at the question, who was actually harmed by the #Broidy $$$ shovelled into the Fitzpatrick campaign, it was
🔹his Democratic opponent, Scott Wallace
🔹the constituents of #PA01, who were cheated of a fair process

@PreetBharara @AnandWrites @RepBrianFitz @CourierTimes @TheIntellNews @BrianFitzUSA Fitzpatrick is now in the process of choosing more #PA01 charities in order to spread the money around as he divests the Russian-tainted #Fruman #Parnas #Firtash funds that went into his campaign.
We have no idea how or for whom he is making his choices.

@PreetBharara @AnandWrites @RepBrianFitz @CourierTimes @TheIntellNews @BrianFitzUSA Probably the only way to restore justice to the injured parties in #PA01 is to carefully choose local charities that support Democracy for all, encourage/assist voting access & are truly bipartisan.
Local chapters of @LWVPA would be a great start. They even host our debates.

@PreetBharara @AnandWrites @RepBrianFitz @CourierTimes @TheIntellNews @BrianFitzUSA @LWVPA We are his #PA01 constituents, & we have a say in how he disburses these funds-- and not in a way where @RepBrianFitz continues to benefit from an unethical act.
By the way, did I mention that @RepBrianFitz is ex-FBI national supervisor Political Corruption Unit? 🙄
