As reported by @PoliticoRyan, Ivanka's signature W-GDP program in connection w USAID was an unaccountable mess which is no surprise to anyone who followed the news about it from Day One.... politico.com/news/2021/03/3…
...Ivanka's W-GDP website was part of the WH site & never included any government official's name other Ivanka's. The only two major change since July '19 was the deletion of Trump's EO & the addition of an annual report..... web.archive.org/web/2019030108…
...Two excerpts from Trump's EO establishing Ivanka's W-GDP program & ordering other agencies to kick in funding. As far as I know, no one has ever accounted for how Ivanka spent that $300 million...
...Note that of the 20 or so photos in the W-GDP 2019-2020 Annual Report, 18 of them include Ivanka Trump. W-GDP was nothing more than an initiative to promote Ivanka Trump.....
...Feb '19 WH video w Trump announcing the establishment of the W-GDP under the guise of national security. How much of W-GDP's spending flew under the radar bc it was classified as "national security"?

@DerWouter@StacyJannis Missed the details of the Dec '20 sale of 4 Indian Creek Road, reportedly to Jared & Ivanka. Julio Iglesias sold it to Top Line Ventures Limited via Cabana Love L.L.C. but Top Line's address is in c/o MDR Mayfair in DUBAI....
...The Real Deal reported the terms of the sale of 4 Indian Creek Road in Dec '20. Since no one else apparently finds the arrangement odd. I guess the deal is legit.... therealdeal.com/miami/2020/12/…
If Cy Vance wants to, I'm sure he could put additional pressure on Trump Org employees to cooperate. Eg on her '17 OGE report, Lynne Patton declared a substantial portion of her income in '16 was derived from the use of Trump facilities which I doubt was taxed...
...Screenshot of Lynne Patton's OGE report. Part of her $106k income from Trump Org came from golf memberships etc. The fact that her income was only $106k including the employee bennies is a telltale sign of her real status in the company....
...Admittedly, I was angry that Lynne Patton, a self-acknowledged lifelong cocaine addict & chronic liar, held an important position at HUD overseeing billions of dollars of federal spending....
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... washingtonpost.com/local/md-polit…
...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....
WinRed, the GOP's answer to ActBlue, still hasn't filed a January '21 report w the FEC. Other campaign committees managed by treasurer, Ben Otthenhoff & his partner, Caleb Crosby, have though. List of committees they managed in the '19-'20 election cycle....
...Julie Dozier & Janna Rutland are friends/relatives of Caleb Crosby who all live in a Birmingham AL suburb. Neither Dozier or Rutland is a lawyer or a CPA. First came across Dozier's name in connection w Rick Scott's New Republican PAC....
...Odd. The Peachtree PAC, registered w the FEC on Nov 6 '20, hasn't filed a statement of organization yet although Julie Dozier, treasurer, filed a Filing Frequency Notice on Nov 9 '20. Peachtree PAC contributions totaled $38m in Dec '20, all from the Senate Leadership Fund....
Been awhile since I looked at 990s filed by Matt Schlapp's American Conservative Union. The most recent one available is for the year ended March 31 '19. Here's a few screenshots. First is the cover page....
...ACU Chairman Matt Schlapp doesn't take a salary but some of the other employees are handsomely paid. (I'm sure benefits in other ways)...
....Matt Schlapp's American Conservative Union shells out relatively big $$$ to independent contractors....
@DerWouter Per @SollenbergerRC for Salon, Cleta Mitchell replaced the Foley & Lardner PAC treasurer w Chris Marston, a regular on the 501c4/PAC treasurer circuit & whose work is generally substandard.... salon.com/2021/02/23/one…
...Chris Marston is currently the treasurer of 228 campaign committees per the FEC....
...I don't know if you remember but Chris Marston prepared the 990s for Shining City, a questionable 501c4 which at one point was led by Aryeh Lightstone who went on to Ambassador David Friedman's right hand man in Israel...
