Like I always say, follow the money. So who is funding this?
The group has few major donors;[14] the top contributors are Silicon Valley investor Ron Conway, financier Andrew Redleaf, and Walmart heiress and philanthropist Christy Walton, who gave $50,000, $25,000, and $20,000, respectively (whose contributions collective make up just 4% of the Lincoln Project's total fundraising).[47 59% of the group's total fundraising comes from small donors ($200 or less).[14] The group's expenditures are mostly in producing, buying, and placing ads.[14]
The Center for Responsive Politics, a campaign-finance watchdog group, wrote that (like most PACs)[48] most of the Lincoln Project's money went to pay subcontractors, "making it difficult to follow the money" to vendors, and that "almost all" of the money raised went to firms run by the group's board members, specifically Galen's Summit Strategic Communications and Steslow's Tusk Digital.[14
They are playing chess while you ( the general public) are playing checkers. Read again " "almost all" of the money raised went to firms run by the group's board members," Can you say playing both sides to fill their bank account?
