After reading this WP article re two companies, Arsenal Media Group & Olympic Media, gouging first time political candidates, I compiled a list of all of the payments made to both firms in this election cycle per FEC records...

...Olympic Media took in $11.8m, $3.8m of which came from the We Are Great Again PAC. When I saw Chris Marston was the treasurer, I suspected it wasn't on the up & up & I was right. Not one dime of the $4.5m raised in the '19-'20 cycle went to support or oppose a candidate...
...The We Are Great Again PAC website is no longer accessible but the latest version in the archives shows GOP operative, @EdBrookover, as chairman. I'd really like to hear Mr. Brookover justify raking in $4.5m in small donations & spending the entire amount on admin costs....
...Assuming EB II LLC is Ed Brookover's firm, he raked in $341k in '20 for doing almost nothing other than maybe setting up this ripoff scam. (Election CFO II LLC is PAC treasurer, Chris Marston's firm)....
...The way I see it, this is legalized fraud but Ed Brookover's been around the block & knows full well, he's unlikely to be subject to any complaints from small $$$ donors.
...Jeez. I googled Ed Brookover & learned he was Ben Carson's campaign manager & was fired by Donald Trump in Aug '16. Now that I think of it, I remember something about the Carson campaign spending a lot of money to raise money...
...That's it for me on the topic of Ed Brookover, the We Are Great Again PAC & Olympic Media. Not much else to say about this scam.
