Green Party candidate Jill Stein is coming under renewed scrutiny after a Daily Beast report details that millions donated to a 2016 presidential election recount have been squandered in the years since.

Funny how the msm can't be bothered to report this- guess they are too busy concoction fake conspiracy stories about Donald Trump

How much was Obama’s new house(s)?

[ClearCase_guy]

The money always sloshes around in interesting and unexpected ways. The graphic below has nothing to do with Jill Stein or the 2016 election, per se, but it's going down the same sort road:

for him it was free- paid for by taxpayers (the obamas had $1.4 BILLION DOLLARS spent on them every single year while in office- and you can bet some of that money got funneled out into accounts somewhere for personal use after he left office)

She’s a crook, Jim.

[Alberta's Child]

As I said at the time, the primary purpose of that recount was to get a bunch of stupid Democrats to donate millions of dollars that would be nothing more than a financial windfall for Jill Stein’s staffers and consultants.

[Bob434]

I would bet he has no idea what his own house cost. Ask Val

[SunkenCiv]

that's a graphic for my archive of graphics that I steal online, unrepentantly I might add. The Clinton gang of grifters make me sick, but that pic really brings it home.

That said, I suspect that these aspersions being cast on Jill Stein are part of the vindictive moves of Hitlery, and is also meant to try to change the subject, since it is getting more obvious that she's going to prison.

Hahahahahahaha...fools and their money.

History shows us: Put money into the hands of snake oil salesmen, you likely won’t even get any snake oil.

[MUDDOG]

She’s Jill Stein, there’s no tellin’ where the money went.

[GreyFriar]

Perhaps for the Chardonnay HRC has been drinking since election day.

[Chad N. Freud]

Thanks for finding and posting that “balance sheet.”

Not a criticism of you; but of them:

Not surprisingly, none of their numbers add up.

[Brian Griffin]

Better ‘rat money down the drain than in a campaign!

[PLMerite]

“She’s Jill Stein, there’s no tellin’ where the money went.”

I see what you did there. Very good.
