Liberal Dark Money Group to Receive Private Briefing From House Dem Jerrold Nadler

Democracy Alliance holds private gathering at luxury Austin hotel, plots nearly $300 million in new political spending

AUSTIN—The largest donors on the left will be given a private briefing on investigations into President Donald Trump by House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerrold Nadler (N.Y.) during a secretive Texas gathering this week, according to documents obtained exclusively by the Washington Free Beacon. The Democracy Alliance, a group of millionaire and billionaire funders of the liberal movement, is holding its Spring Partner Retreat and Strategy Conference at the Four Seasons hotel in Austin, where security has been patrolling the meeting areas since Wednesday. As always at the group's secretive meetings, all programming is off the record and closed to members of the media.

Nadler, who has made headlines by leading the charge to investigate Trump in the House, was a late addition to the conference program, which was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon and can be viewed in full below. Nadler will join the donors via live video to lead a discussion titled, "After the Mueller Report: What's Next?" "Given the events of the last few days, we added a special discussion, After the Mueller Report: What's Next?" says a flyer distributed with programming updates for the donor retreat.

Center for American Progress president Neera Tanden will join Nadler for the discussion. They will bring donors "up to date on where we stand in the myriad investigations into Trump's corruption and abuses of power." A Thursday morning yoga class was also added to the program, the flyer says. This is not the first time Democracy Alliance partners, who each pledge to give at least $200,000 annually to liberal organizations, have been treated with closed-door briefings from powerful members of Congress. At the group's November 2018 conference, the Washington Free Beacon revealed a partners-only briefing from Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Calif.), who was set to become House Intelligence Committee chairman.

The Austin gathering is smaller than Democracy Alliance retreats in the past, with organizers deciding to hold a more "partner-centric" event, the agenda explains. "There are fewer faces around because many of you asked for the opportunity for more intimate strategic conversations with other donors, and we hope the format of this Partner-centric retreat will allow for a deeper dialogue and focused debate on the critical work that lies ahead," Democracy Alliance president Gara LaMarche and chair John Stocks explain in a welcome letter for the conference. The more critical work ahead for the donor group is defeating Trump in 2020, they explain, and also making investments to "build progressive political power and sustain it."

"Our conversation here in Austin will focus on understanding the critical role that the DA must play in the short term to lay a foundation for 2020 victories and make the long-term, multi-year investments to build progressive political power and sustain it," they write. "We know that the next election is of overriding importance, so we are dedicating Thursday morning to all things 2020 and welcome policy experts and political strategists to discuss with us what it takes to defeat Trump." Additional conference materials indicate the group plans to inject nearly $300 million into liberal infrastructure to prepare for the 2020 elections. The keynote speaker at the Democracy Alliance Partner Dinner on Thursday night will be failed Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum, described as "a long friend of the DA and one of the brightest progressive stars."

David Stringer Said ‘I Don’t Like to Demonize’ Child Sex Trafficking: Report

Arizona ethics investigators say two Prescott women allege former Arizona Rep. David Stringer made disturbing comments relating to the trafficking and abuse of children. Statements attributed to Stringer, who resigned last week over sex crimes allegations dating back to the 1980s, include reluctance to condemn child sex trafficking and the claim that sexual abuse of children is benign in its impact on victims. The Arizona Republic reported that Stringer’s alleged statements have been recorded in notes taken by members of the House Ethics Committee during conversations with the two women. The state House of Representatives released the notes on April 3.

‘Don’t Like to Demonize It’ One case relates to an alleged conversation between Stringer and Merissa Hamilton, a child sex trafficking victim and activist. Hamilton told House Ethics Committee investigators that she Stringer were sitting together at an event that she recorded on video, which has since been published on YouTube. In the video, Hamilton and a person alleged to be Stringer can be heard discussing what issue he should ask the speaker about, and she suggests raising the issue of child sex trafficking. The man responds by saying that he thinks concerns about child sex trafficking are “demagoguery” and “I don’t like to demonize it.” The male voice attributed to Stringer is also heard saying that while he doesn’t think there is much child sex trafficking, there are “a lot of 15-year-old prostitutes.”

Stringer in a comment on Facebook on April 4 responded to Hamilton’s claims by saying, “It has come to my attention that one of my former campaign supporters has jumped on the bandwagon denouncing me for things I have never said and don’t believe. “Merissa Hamilton, the former 2016 Libertarian candidate for the US Senate, claims to have left the Libertarian party because it was infiltrated by pedophiles. “At an RWOP luncheon last May she brought up the subject of child sex trafficking, claiming it was a crisis. Apparently, I wasn’t sufficiently enthusiastic to suit Ms. Hamilton. She now claims to be alarmed at my skepticism about finding child rape harnesses in the desert and pedophile rings under every rock.”

Hamilton also told House Ethics Committee investigators that after the event at which Stringer seemed to play down the problem of child sex trafficking, he allegedly defended child sex abuse during an exchange the two had outside the venue. The Arizona Republic reported Hamilton told investigators that Stringer said he didn’t think there was any “damage” from child sex trafficking. It is alleged Stringer said to Hamilton, “If an uncle takes his niece or nephew to a playground, and they go on the merry-go-round and have some ice cream, and then do their thing, that’s just part of the experience.” Stringer responded to Hamilton’s allegations in a statement, “I can’t account for the statements she has attributed to me. But for the record I have never minimized the problem of sex trafficking or specifically child sex trafficking across our southern border. As an attorney, I’ve handled child sex cases, representing both victims and the accused. They are serious cases.”

That is for certain…They are the what some would say as demon possessed. Make no mistake, it won't be their fault because of it. Don't think for one minute it will work, imho.
