In the wake of this week’s revelations that @Massgop is on the hook for a secret $53,000 investigation by private detectives into Gov. Maura Healey’s sex life, a majority of @Massgop members (38 of 74) last night sent a letter to crackpot chairman @JimLyonsMA...
...demanding that he release a list of the party’s unpaid bills within 48 hours.
Several other members who are not insane declined to sign prior to the vote for chairman Jan. 31. Lyons is running for another term, to finish the job – of finally destroying the MA GOP.
Now that it’s on the record that Jim Jones Lyons has been secretly using party funds to hire private eyes to settle scores, some Republicans fear Maura Healey may not have been the only political figure the increasingly desperate Lyons ordered “surveillance” on.
Sources estimate that Lyons has run up bills north of $300,000 – with no deep-pocketed new donors anywhere in sight as long as Jim Jones Lyons continues on his suicide mission to wreck the party.
Under state law, party must file a statement with Office of Campaign & Political Finance by next Friday, Jan. 20. Odds of Jim Jones Lyons filing anything on time : slim, fat and none. Ditto for respecting the wishes of a majority of his membership.
Among many other Republicans, Jim Jones Lyons is suing current treasurer Pat Crowley (one of the signatories). Actually tasked with handling the budget chores is another Kool-Aid drinker, Anthony Ventresca.
When not posing with local GOP losers, Ventresca’s day job is function hall manager/bookkeeper for the Solomon VFW Post 8819 in North Billerica.
Ventresca is also active on social media, taking the usual moderate Jim Jones-like line on issues of the day.
Anthony Ventresca WILL drink the Kool-Aid, or do whatever else Jim Jones Lyons tells him to do.
This is @Massgop committee member Deb Dugan, age 73, a loyal member of the Kool Aid Kult run by @JimLyonsMA. The crackpot chairman of state party is counting on Deb to vote for him Jan. 31 for a new term to complete his ongoing destruction of the MA GOP.
One potential problem for Deb: To be on the committee, you have to actually live in the district you represent. State Rep. Paul Frost, another member, is questioning her residency in Watertown.
This week Frost, who is in the committee’s not-insane caucus, has sent Dugan two letters inquiring about her current legal domicile, and now he seems to have come up with some new evidence.
Treasurer of @MassGOP Patrick Crowley just emailed all members of the state committee that he has reported apparent multiple violations of campaign finance laws by the current party leadership to the state agency, Office of Campaign & Political Finance (OCPF).
All involve a surreptitious $53,000 p.i. investigation into the sex life of Gov. Maura Healey that was authorized by @JimJonesMA in Oct. when Geoff Diehl was already hopelessly trailing the Democrat, by 30+ pts.
Evidence Crowley turned over to cops includes emails from Jim Jones Lyons telling p.i. to deal w/special PAC set up by Lyons' pro-life pals that got huge $$$ from Republican Governors Assn.
Welcome back to the Losers Club – an examination of supporters @JimLyonsMA, crackpot chairman of @Massgop and his aide de camp, or should I say clown de camp, Geoff “DoorDash” Diehl, both shown here at the State House in the Great Hall of Losers, or something…
Despite Lyons’ utter destruction of the party, these elderly cranks plan to vote for Jim Jones Lyons on Jan. 31 in his bid to get reelected to finish off MA GOP once & for all.
Rep. Paul Frost, member of @Massgop's not-insane caucus, asks one of Jim Jones Lyons' Kool Aid Kultists, Deb Dugan, if she still resides in district she represents...
...because if she doesn't, she may not be able to vote to reelect @jimlyonsMA as chairman Jan. 31 so that he can finish destroying MA GOP once & for all.
Letter went out to entire state committee, including the Kool-Aid Kult.
Surely you're jumping to conclusions here, @reppaulfrost. Just because Deb sold her house in Watertown & owns property in Plymouth does not mean that she is not still an "inhabitant" of the district, as bylaws require.
@MassGOP, under crackpot chairman @JimLyonsMA, has devolved into 2 factions, one that wants to win an occasional election. The other is Jim Jones Lyons’ sad collection of cranks, has-beens, and shut-ins.
The Losers’ Club is what they are. They’re desperate to be… somebody. But they can’t win an election – except to @MassGOP.
If you’ve ever wondered why they’re not upset about how Lyons has wrecked MA GOP, it’s because their own sad dreams have already been personally crushed by the voters.
@MassGOP treasurer Patrick Crowley moments ago emailed all state committee members a demand letter he received from a North Shore private investigator saying that his company is owed $53,217 by @MassGOP & @JimLyonsMA.
The bill is for an Oct. investigation “including rumors that candidate Healey was sleeping with female subordinates while serving as Massachusetts Attorney General.”
According to an invoice from the company, the probe ordered by Lyons included “surveillance” & contact with 211 former employees of the AG’s office.
