Putting together a thread & compiling a list of media outlets Grant Lally, owner of the North Shore Leader, lied to about publishing his big $11M George Santos expose in September 2022...
Grant Lally thought so little of his big Santos scoop, he didn't list it on the front page of his paper & it was on the next to last page of the issue. The digital version of the issue is the only one missing on the NSL site... theleaderonline.com/social-media
What I call a bald faced lie, Grant Lally calls an "error", one he has yet to correct publicly. In mid Feb 2023, Lally sent a text to a reporter acknowledging he told another reporter about his "error"...
Even then, Grant Lally likely lied again. The meta data for the online Santos $11M story & his endorsement of Robert Zimmerman w his criticism of Santos show they were both posted online the same day the print issues were dated...
Grant Lally's Oct 20 2022 endorsement of Santos' opponent, Robert Zimmerman, didn't stand out from the other endorsements on page 4. Nothing on the cover...
List of media outlets that erroneously reported Grant Lally published his $11M in Santos expose in September 2022. First, the Independent UK on Jan 23 2023... independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
PBS News Hour on Jan 9 2023...
As late as May 10 2023 prominent Twitter accounts like @emptywheel were touting Grant Lally's big scoop & linking to the PBS interview....
Funny thing is Robert Zimmerman's campaign manager did take note of both NSL's Santos stories & tweeted links to them. His account is now locked & his boss is raking in $15k/mo from the Las Vegas Sands to promote a casino in Nassau County...

Reviewing the 990s filed by Veterans For Economic Freedom, CEO Pete Hegseth. The preparer, Michael J. Engle, is the Koch's go-to CPA for all their not-for-profits including the one formerly headed by Mike Roman...
More later. Wanted to point out to interested parties how to find the 990s for Veterans For Economic Freedom dba Concerned Veterans For America. The address is a UPS store box despite paying rent & hiring numerous employees.
Veterans For Economic Freedom dba Concerned Veterans For America was registered in Delaware in Oct 2012 & the year end is Sept 30. Looks like Wade Zirkle may have helped Hegseth land the CEO position...
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…
