For those asking, the public record on Mr. Wood's purported 501(c)4 is scant.
It was incorporated in Texas through a local subsidiary of a Dutch information company on Aug. 12 of this year, too soon for a Form 990 to become available.
I asked his attorney to provide his Form 1024-a, which must be made publicly available.
His attorney said Wood didn't file one, but instead filed a non-accessible Form 8976.
As one expert explained: “By filing form 8976, all they’ve done is announced they exist."
The company it was incorporated under was a registration service, which of course is common.
But it illustrates how little of a public record the purported charity currently has.

Hours after a federal judge in Michigan REJECTED their election-toppling request, Lin Wood and Sidney Powell go to another U.S. judge seeking to overturn Georgia's results.
I'll cover the hearing for @lawcrimenews in this thread.
Judge Batten recites the conspiracy theory behind the lawsuit and repeats Ga. officials' question:
"Why would Georgia's Republican governor and Republican Secretary of State," whom he notes are Trump supporters, "conspire to throw the election" to POTUS-elect Biden?
A federal judge in Michigan SLAPS DOWN the Kraken in that state, denying an election-overturning restraining order.
"The People have spoken," U.S. District Judge Linda Parker wrote in a ruling filed well after midnight.
"In fact, this lawsuit seems to be less about achieving the relief Plaintiffs seek—as much of that relief is beyond the power of this Court—and more about the impact of their allegations on People’s faith in the democratic 36 process and their trust in our government."
The ruling on the case being moot:
"This case represents well the phrase: 'this ship has sailed.'"
Bear in mind, these are only the campaign's spending.
Trump Victory has another long set of Trump disbursements, like $294,019.95 paid to Trump Hotel Collection on Nov. 12, after Trump was the declared the loser. docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/…
Trump Victory is a joint fundraising committee, meaning that other big GOP interests are benefiting—incentivizing their dragging this out.
"A billionaire San Francisco real estate developer, Sanford Diller, enlisted their help in securing clemency for a Berkeley psychologist, Hugh L. Baras" —
Whose name, let the record show, ends with an "s."
As for which S-ending name it was, it goes to show that internet guesswork tends to be wrong. It's better to pursue firsthand information or wait for the story to develop.
Their lawyer David Kallman, from the Great Lakes Legal Center, is up now.

Judge Kenny, who is questioning him now, is the same jurist who rejected his arguments in the other case.
