...While giving short shrift to John Eastman's far right extremism, Haberman & Schmidt provide a useful timeline of how Eastman came to Trump's attention, beginning in mid-2019... nytimes.com/2021/10/02/us/…
...Post-election, Eastman was called on once by a Trump aide in connection w a challenge to PA's election results & once by Trump who asked him to assist w legal challenges to the election results...
...Curious which Trump aide reached out to John Eastman on Christmas Eve about a memo & who else was in the room when he met w Trump & Pence. My guess is Mark Meadows & Cleta Mitchell...
...John Eastman & Cleta Mitchell have served on the board of the Public Interest Legal Foundation fka ActRight Legal Foundation since its inception in 2012....
...In 2013, the Public Interest Legal Foundation focused on the IRS "scandal" which I have amply demonstrated was manufactured. In 2014, the focus changed to manufactured voter fraud scandals w the addition of J. Christian Adams, Hans von Spakovsky & William Davis to the board...
...The current Public Interest Legal Foundation board is comprised of the superstars of voter suppression. Contributions must have poured in after Election Day since PILF hired two new new staff members & jazzed up the website... publicinterestlegal.org/about/board-of…
...The one thing the folks over at the Public Interest Legal Foundation haven't bothered doing is filing the 2019 990 due Nov 15 2020. Another month & the 2020 990 will be due. The onus is on J. Christian Adams since PILF doesn't employ an outside accountant...
...In Aug 2020, @mjs_DC excoriated Eastman for his Newsweek op-ed questioning Kamala Harris' eligibility to serve as VP. Stern went on to skewer other notables at the Claremont Institute... slate.com/news-and-polit…
.. On Oct 6 2020, the Federalist Society, of which John Eastman is a member in good standing, sponsored a debate on the meaning of the constitution’s citizenship clauses bet Eastman & Eugene Volokh (no, I haven't read the transcript & won't)... fedsoc.org/events/born-in…
...In a Family Research Council presentation in June 2015, John Eastman gave a somewhat convoluted & misleading explanation as to why Uganda should reinstate a law mandating life imprisonment for homosexuals... joemygod.blogspot.com/2015/06/nom-ch…
...As noted above, John Eastman is chair of the National Organization For Marriage Educational Fund. I don't have much to say about NOM other than it peaked around 2012 when Neil Corkery was treasurer & Leonord Leo's CPA of choice prepared the 990...
...That's about it for this thread. Will follow up w one about the 990s filed by the Claremont Institute which changed CPAs & accounting policies a couple of years ago.

I want to walk thru what happened late last night re the secret Frum fundraiser for Trump, scheduled to be held at Trump Tower on Sept 5. At 1 pm yesterday, @TheBelaaz posted about the fundraiser...
At 8:30 last night, Sheya Landa tweeted that Team Trump told him to keep the fundraiser secret & was upset about the Belaaz News scoop. Landa is an advisor to Nassau County Exec Bruce Blakeman & his father, Ben, was slated to attend...
Three minutes later, Sheya Landa tweeted that the fundraiser was cancelled. At 11 pm, Belaaz News confirmed the event was cancelled...
Speaking of Chicago, who is Onisim "Nick" Dorfneau & why he is on the board of Trump Org?
Per LinkedIn, Onisim Dorneau has an educational background in computer forensics, criminal justice & policing, nuclear power technician & counterterrorism training...
Onisim Dorneau apparently is one of three founders of Moogle Pharma, a Romanian company registered in 2020 that aims "to become one of the main international distributors of medicines"... mooglepharma.com/#home
Congrats @DanFoganholi on yr appointment by Gov DeSantis to the State Board of Ed. Re yr position w New Generations Children’s Ministry - its IRS tax exempt status was revoked after filing a single 990-N in 2014....
The New Generations Children’s Ministry website is now inactive. Per the internet archive, it looks the website was reactivated in 2022 after being inactive for several years...
Per Gov DeSantis' press release, you also are the Director of Strategic Partnerships for the Brazilian American Coalition which, according to , hasn't existed since Sept 2023 & never filed for a FEIN.... sunbiz.org
Not enough attention has been paid to Santos campaign finance director Lianna Farnesi. After college, she was trained by the Heritage Foundation, worked for the Trump campaign & then Templar Baker where she was assigned to the Santos campaign....
Funny how Elise Stefanik knew right off the bat Farnesi wasn't involved in covering up Santos' malfeasance even though she was intimately involved in the Santos campaign inner workings. Same tel # for this RSVP...
Oh. Lianna Farnesi has been on the NRCC's payroll since Jan 2023. Which means the NRCC, not Elise Stefanik, is paying Farnesi to work on Stefanik's campaign. Also footing her legal bills? (ty @jgmac1106)....
Trump's elaborate plan to keep his romance w Melania secret & apply for the Einstein visa has to be seen in the context of his pre-nup & divorce from Marla Maples. Per NYS Supreme Court:
Per Gabriel Sherman for Vanity Fair, Trump would only have to pay Marla Maples $1M if they separated within five years of their marriage on Dec 20 1993... vanityfair.com/news/2019/06/m…
The whole stupid made up story about meeting Melania for the first time in Sept 1998 could have been avoided if Trump didn't have a giant inflated ego... vanityfair.com/news/2019/01/t…
In a blunt editorial yesterday, Newsday called for Gov Hochul to take over NUMC yesterday & for NUMC Chair Matthew Bruderman to step down. Bruderman, appointed by Bruce Blakeman, bought the chairmanship. (ty @BrockWolf6)...
Matthew Bruderman & his family only began making substantial state & federal donations in 2021, the year Bruce Blakeman ran for Nassau County Executive. Bet 2021 & 2022, those donations totaled $1.25M...
In Feb 2022, one month before Blakeman appointed him NUMC chair, Bruderman held a fundraiser for Lee Zeldinn at his Oyster Bay home that was attended by VP Mike Pence....
