...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... Image
...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... Image
...John Eastman & Cleta Mitchell have served on the board of the Public Interest Legal Foundation fka ActRight Legal Foundation since its inception in 2012.... ImageImage
...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... ImageImageImage
...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...

...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... ImageImage
...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...

...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... ImageImage
...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.

Given that John Eastman & the Claremont Institute has been in the news lately, I took a look at the institute's 990s. Timely since Governor Ron DeSantis is the honoree at the annual gala tomorrow night in Huntington Beach CA...

...The Claremont Institute's influence is outsized, given its relatively small budget. Contributions did pick up in the year ended June 30 2020 & may have increased this year since Claremont opened a center in DC in Feb 2021...

...I highlighted non-cash contributions of publicly traded securities since the institute appears to have made a change to its stated policy beginning in 2018 of selling donated securities "as soon as prudent"... Image

Doing an early morning cruise around the Ginni Thomas archives. She seems so nice in this May 2010 video about her short lived not-for-profit, Liberty Central, Inc...
...Liberty Central's biggest haul was $951k in 2010. W Leonard Leo & Matt Schlapp on the board, no one should be surprised $389k of the $1.4M in expenses was lumped in "Other"....
...In 2010, Ginni Thomas & staff were featured on the Liberty Central website. In 2011, her bio was replaced by that of LC president, Gary Aldrich which recounted the Greatest Clinton Hits of the '90s including the pornographic Christmas tree in the Blue Room (new one on me)...

Let's take a closer look today at John Eastman & Christina Bobb, pictured here in a photo taken at the Willard Hotel "War Room" on Jan 6 2021 (h/t @sparrowmedia). First, Christina Bobb...
...On March 2 2021, Christina Bobb registered Voices & Votes, a not-for-profit, in Wyoming. Original team members included Bobb, Chanel Rion & her husband, Courtney "Bobby" Sykes...
...The Voices & Votes current team is comprised of Bobb & Rion. At some point, Sykes was deleted. Nothing on the site to indicate if V&V is a 501c3 or c4. For that matter, nothing on the site to indicate what the "team" does to accomplish its mission...

Not hard to understand why Caroline Wren was desperate to have the election results overturned. She'd never made so much money before...
Hang on. That $87k payment to Caroline Wren from the Save the US Senate PAC on Jan 26 2021 was funded by a single contribution of $150k made on Jan 4 2021 by a firm in Lakeland FL. More later.
...Losing track here. The Lakeland firm is LJ Management Inc owned by Publix heiress, Julia Fancelli. Is this a donation everyone already knows about or a different one?

If Ed Mullins did embezzle money from any of the union funds, it's a classic case of a lack of internal controls. I reviewed the NYC PBA & SBA Widows & Childrens Funds bc they were relatively small dollars w few transactions, making it easier for me to critique...
...As a retired CPA/auditor, I always look at the name of the person/firm who prepared & signed a not-for-profit's 990 tax return. I noticed the SBA switched firms in 2015 so I googled the name of the new CPA & the firm...
