The Tale of Two Congressional Leaders. One Smart, One Dopey-Corker. Kasich Should Take Boehner’s Advice

John Boehner to Kasich: Don’t Bother with Primary Challenge to Trump. 24 Apr 2019

“No, I wouldn’t — I wouldn’t bother if I were him,” Boehner replied when asked about a possible challenge in a Wednesday interview

on NBC host Chuck Todd’s podcast Chuck Toddcast, according to Politico Playbook.

The former House Speaker noted the president still remains popular nationwide going into the 2020 election, putting him in prime position to fight off any potential primary challenger. “There’s this 38 percent of America that’s very big supporters of President Trump. And you know, they’re gonna show up and vote for him,” the ex-lawmaker said.

Kasich, who did not endorse President Trump after losing the nomination to him in 2016, is one of the Republican Party’s most outspoken critics of the president and his administration. Now a contributor for CNN, Kasich said “all of my options remain on the table” last week on the network while discussing a potential primary challenge. “I don’t wake up every day looking at polls or thinking about me and my political future. I just want to be a good voice,” he added.

The former Ohio governor made headlines over the weekend for criticizing President Trump over his conduct described in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on now-debunked collusion with Russia in the 2016 presidential election. “.@realDonaldTrump‘s behavior described in the #MuellerReport is more than disappointing. It’s unacceptable & not behavior we should expect from our president. It’s worse than I’ve seen in my career observing & working with presidents or public officials. America deserves better,” Kasich tweeted on Saturday.

Bob Corker: Primarying Trump Would Be a ‘Good Thing for Our Country’

24 Apr 2019

Corker said in an interview at the Time 100 Summit in New York:

You could look at it and say that it would be a good thing for our country should that occur. If you had a real primary, where you had someone that was really being listened to, and of substance, things that we were talking about — and I could go through a list of them — they would actually be debated in a real way.

The former Tennessee senator cautioned, however, that if Trump faced a less challenging opponent, he or she would recieve little media attention. Only former Massachusetts Gov. and 2016 Libertarian vice presidential candidate Bill Weld has declared his candidacy for the Republican nomination in 2020. The media has speculated over whether Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan or Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) would mount a challenge to Trump.

‘Nonpartisan’ Mueller Investigation-Focused Group Tied to Dem Dark Money 'Protect the Investigation' is a project of the Sixteen Thirty Fund

A "nonpartisan" group launched to "protect" Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into President Donald Trump that is now pushing for the release of the full, un-redacted Mueller Report is tied to a liberal dark money organization.

Protect the Investigation, which describes itself as a "nonpartisan" initiative formed to "educate the American people about the importance of the special counsel investigation and its findings," is a project of the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a Washington, D.C.-based 501(c)(4) "fiscal sponsor" that is used as a pass-through entity for big money Democratic donors.

Protect the Investigation is a registered trade name—or fictitious name—by the Sixteen Thirty Fund with the D.C. Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs, records show. The name was registered on June 28, 2018 and is scheduled to expire on June 27, 2020.

"The Special Counsel investigation was a probe into Russian interference during the 2016 election that charged 37 people and entities of criminal wrongdoing, including Trump's campaign chairman," the group writes. "The American people demand to know what the Special Counsel Robert Mueller found, and the Department of Justice must release the full, original report with all the underlying evidence."

Several of Protect the Investigation's "partner organizations" are tied to Arabella Advisors, a D.C.-based social venture firm that provides consulting to liberal philanthropy endeavors. The Sixteen Thirty Fund falls under the umbrella of Arabella Advisors. Arabella Advisors is managed by Eric Kessler, a former Bill Clinton appointee and member of the Clinton Global Initiative. Douglas Hattaway, owner of Hattaway Communications, a D.C.-based strategic communications firm that has represented the likes of George Soros's Open Society Foundations and the Center for American Progress, a left-wing group founded by former Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, directs the Sixteen Thirty Fund.

One such partner of Protect the Investigation that is also tied to Arabella is Demand Justice, which is also a project of the Sixteen Thirty Fund.

Demand Justice is led by Brian Fallon, Clinton's former campaign spokesman, and is geared towards fighting Trump's "takeover" of federal courts. The group was first pitched to the Democracy Alliance, the left's largest dark money donor network that was co-founded by Soros, at its Spring 2018 conference, according to documents previously obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Another partner, Tax March, is also a registered trade name of the Sixteen Thirty Fund, which has given at least $921,000 in grants to partners of Tax March.
