REPORT: Donations To Trump’s ‘Recount Account’ Worth Less Than $8,000 Are Going to ‘Save America’ PAC, RNC

 

Supporters giving money to the Trump campaign’s election legal battles might be surprised to find out where exactly their donations — especially those less than $8,000 — are reportedly going.

 

A report published Wednesday by Reuters alleges that donations, many solicited by the campaign’s expansive text message fundraising apparatus, are being split unevenly between the campaign’s “recount account,” the Republican National Convention itself, and “Save America,” a new super PAC launched by President Donald Trump after the election.

 

According to the “allocation formula” — the fine print at the bottom of the Trump campaign’s donation landing page — 60 percent of each new contribution will first go to Save America, while 40 percent goes to the RNC’s “operating account.” Only after the $5,000 donation limit to Save America is reached, are any funds directed into the “recount account.” Coupled with the 40 percent carved out for the RNC, donors must therefore give upwards of $8,000 to actually contribute to the recount account.

 

The fine print does specify donors “may designate a contribution for a specific participant or participants,” and Reuters noted that Federal Election Commission rules would allow both Save America and the RNC “broad leeway” on how they spend donations.

 

To date, the Trump campaign has filed lawsuits in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and a recount motion in Wisconsin. Several state Republican groups have also filed companion suits attempting to delay vote counting.

 

Neither the Trump campaign nor the RNC responded to Daily Caller’s requests for clarification on theReuters reportby press time.

Why Twitter Won’t Let People Share Sworn Court Documents Alleging Voter Fraud

 

Social media does not get to determine the veracity of a sworn affidavit any more than corporate media gets to determine who won an election.

 

If you thought Twitter’s censorship of reported Joe Biden family corruption or frequent flagging of the U.S. president’s tweets were isolated incidents, think again. Big Tech’s efforts to shield favored political figures and positions from scrutiny have only increased.

 

You and I can find ourselves branded with censorious labels even for sharing court documents containing sworn testimony, should the offending share touch any of a growing number of third rails. Today, the integrity of the 2020 presidential election is the greatest third rail of them all.

 

I found that out this week when I tweeted screenshots of the summary of a sworn affidavit, and a link to that affidavit, delivered by Detroit poll challenger Zachary Larsen. In the affidavit, Larsen, a former Michigan assistant attorney general, claims to have witnessed several disturbing instances of fraud during the vote-counting he watched on and after Nov. 3, 2020.

 

The affidavit is part of a lawsuit pending before the Wayne County Circuit Court. Larsen is joined by several other individuals in the lawsuit, including an employee of the City of Detroit and other poll challengers, who likewise attest under penalty of perjury to a raft of alleged fraud and corruption during the vote processing and tabulating.

 

These people put their names and necks on the line in coming forward in our charged political environment. A court will now determine whether their claims are sufficient to merit adjudication.

 

Twitter, on the other hand, is in no position to do so. Yet after my tweet started circulating widely, suddenly the purported non-publisher stepped in and made its own ruling: “This claim about election fraud is disputed.”

 

It slapped this flag on the tweet. Retweets meet a warning. One can now only share the tweet by adding text responding to it.

 

Now, it is theoretically possible that my editorializing about the alleged corruption and criminality in the affidavit constituting “Third World stuff,” and that if it’s true, “every American should be outraged,” represent “disputed” claims to Twitter. Even setting aside that, by this standard, Twitter would be a sea of flags, I would not bet that was Twitter’s problem.

 

One can see Twitter’s real beef by clicking on its warning. This sends one to a page that begins with the note, “Voter fraud of any kind is exceedingly rare in the US, election experts confirm.” Twitter establishes this Official Narrative by citing press reports, tweets, and selective summaries of testimony from federal officials.

Hostile Takeover: Wall Street Assumes Command of Joe Biden Transition Team

 

Wall Street and the biggest U.S. banks, after spending a fortune to unseat President Trump, are getting key spots in Democrat Joe Biden’s transition team that he has devised before the presidential election is certified.

 

Detailed by the New York Times, Biden’s list of transition team members includes former Wall Street employees and those with close ties to Wall Street. Many of the big banks with links to Biden transition team members were major donors to the former vice president.

 

The Times reports:

 

Commerce Department: The review team is led by Geovette Washington of the University of Pittsburgh, who previously served as general counsel and senior policy adviser at the Office of Management and Budget. Other members include Anna Gomez, a partner at the law firm Wiley Rein; Arun Venkataraman, who works in government relations at Visa (and was director of policy at the Commerce Department under Mr. Obama); and Ellen Hughes-Cromwick of the think tank Third Way, who served as chief economist at Mr. Obama’s Commerce Department and held a similar role at Ford. [Emphasis added]

 

Treasury Department: The team is led by Don Graves, who heads corporate responsibility at KeyBank and previously worked as director of domestic and economic policy for Mr. Biden. Others include Nicole Isaac of LinkedIn and Marisa Lago, who works at the New York City Department of City Planning and previously oversaw global compliance at Citigroup. [Emphasis added]

 

Federal Reserve, Banking and Securities Regulators: The team is led by Gary Gensler, a top Wall Street regulator in the Obama administration who is now a professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management. The team also includes Dennis Kelleher of Better Markets, long a proponent of tougher rules for banks. [Emphasis added]

 

Gensler previously worked at Goldman Sachs and for failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. As Breitbart News reported, giant tech conglomerates are also getting representation on Biden’s transition team.

 

Likewise, the Wall Street Journal noted a number of Wall Street-types who are seriously being considered for cabinet positions in a potential Biden administration:

 

Roger Ferguson, chief executive of retirement manager TIAA-CREF, is in the mix for a cabinet post, according to people familiar with the matter. And financial executives like Morgan Stanley executive Tom Nides and former hedge-fund manager and presidential candidate Tom Steyer publicly backed Mr. Biden and could emerge with influence, or jobs, in his administration. [Emphasis added]

 

Some who are active in the party or who held positions in past Democratic administrations— such as finance veteran Jeffrey Zients, co-chairman of Mr. Biden’s transition team, and Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s Jake Siewert, who served as press secretary in the Clinton White House and in the Treasury Department under President Obama — could join the new administration, Democratic fundraisers say. [Emphasis added]

 

Another Goldman executive who could head to Washington is Margaret Anadu, the 39-year-old head of Goldman Sachs’s urban-investment initiatives, whose name is said to have been floated for an economic policy position.

[Emphasis added]

 

On the campaign trail, President Trump warned that Biden was “the one that takes all the money from Wall Street” while his donors tended to be police officers, business owners, homemakers, truckers, construction workers, and drivers.

 

The progressive wing of the Democrat Party has attempted to push back against Biden’s potential for stacking an administration with Wall Street executives and those with deep ties to multinational corporations.

Cindy McCain: ‘There Is a Role for Republicans’ in a Biden Administration

 

Cindy McCain, an advisory board member on former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential transition team, said “there is a role for Republicans” in a Biden administration when asked in an interview on The View on Monday if she would consider a Biden cabinet position.

 

Guest host Ana Navarro asked McCain, “Do you think there’s still room in the Republican Party for people like you, for people like me? And I also want to know if you would consider a role in the Biden administration because Secretary McCain sounds pretty damn good to me.”

 

McCain, wife of the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), did not directly respond to the latter half of Navarro’s question but did say she believes Republicans could be included in Biden’s administration should the former vice president be formally elected president:

 

McCain said in her response, “I do sit on the transition team, and I’m very proud and honored to do so. And my job is to help recruit Republicans into places within the administration. This is an administration that is going to be all-inclusive, and there is a role for Republicans in the administration.”

 

McCain joined Biden’s advisory board in September a week after endorsing the Democrat candidate, saying at the time of her endorsement, “There’s only one candidate in this race who stands up for our values as a nation, and that is Joe Biden.”

 

McCain has also cited her late husband’s friendship with Biden as one reason she has supported his candidacy.

 

President Donald Trump, a longtime critic of John McCain, said when Cindy McCain announced her endorsement that he hardly knew Cindy McCain but that her husband had been responsible for poor decisions on “endless wars” and Veterans Affairs. Trump has also chided the late senator for killing the repeal of the Affordable Care Act after John McCain unexpectedly joined two other Republican senators in voting against the healthcare legislation in 2017, and for contributing to the spread of the Steele dossier.

 

Cindy McCain in her response to Navarro also lamented that the Republican Party has lost its “core values,” saying, “Our party, on the other hand, I think that what we will see now is probably a bit of a change. Our party was always the party that was the party of inclusion. … We’ve gone so far awry on what our values are as Republicans.”

 

She concluded with a subtle jab at the president, “I do think there’s room in the party for everybody. There should be room in the party. We just have to stick it out, I think, until we get better leadership.”

Biden to Make Combatting Climate Change an ‘All-of-Government Agenda’

 

 

Former Vice President Joe Biden is preparing to make combatting climate change a centerpiece of his administration, with top aides signaling the topic is likely to consume all levels of the federal government.

 

Biden, who promised a New Deal-style approach to addressing climate issues on the campaign trail this year, has begun formulating a governing strategy to curb carbon emissions “even without congressional action, by maximizing executive authority,” according to the Washington Post.

 

“From the very beginning of the campaign, when President-elect Biden rolled out his climate plan, he made it clear he sees this as an all-of-government agenda – domestic, economic, foreign policy,” the Biden campaign’s policy director, Stef Feldman, told the outlet.

 

Although it remains unclear just how such an approach will look in execution, Biden’s promises on the campaign trail shed some light on the extent of his commitment to “environmental justice.” From promising to rejoin the Paris Climate Accord on his first day at the White House to pledging the creation of a new division within the Department of Justice to combat pollution, the former vice president has laid out an ambitious agenda on the climate.

 

Biden’s plan, heavily influenced by the recommendations of a unity task force set up earlier this year by the presumptive nominee and his vanquished primary rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), proposes spending $2 trillion over four years to combat climate change.

 

A major portion of the money will be used to create one million new jobs in the auto industry by boosting the production of energy-efficient vehicles. In order to achieve the goal, Biden is backing legislation, introduced by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), to incentivize individuals to trade in their gas-powered vehicles for ones running on either electricity or hydrogen.

 

Biden has also proposed to adopt a 100 percent clean-electricity standard by 2035. A similar idea was initially raised by Gov. Jay Inslee (D-WA) during his own ill-fated run for the Democrat nomination in 2019. If implemented, it would ensure that all electricity produced in the United States would be “carbon-free.”

 

This would likely have a massive impact on the coal and natural gas industries that, according to the Energy Information Association, produce around 63 percent of all electricity in the country.
