Less than three months after the liberal Lincoln Project publicly imploded over multiple scandals, the disgraced group is getting mainstream media love again.
Co-founder Rick Wilson appeared on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" for a friendly interview on Friday, and senior adviser Tara Setmayer scored appearances Sunday on CNN and Monday on MSNBC, with liberal anchors Jim Acosta and Ari Melber, respectively.
Ex-adviser Kurt Bardella, who confessed to tweeting out hacked messages between co-founder Jennifer Horn and a reporter, continues to be a frequent MSNBC guest.
Their appearances mainly featured blistering criticism of the Republican Party and its continued association with former President Donald Trump, who has continued to stoke false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him. Last week, Bardella suggested that the GOP has become so "radicalized" that it has become a threat to the nation equivalent to "Al Qaeda, Usama bin Laden," and "the Taliban" as House lawmakers prepare to remove Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., from leadership.
...
Steve Schmidt, who resigned from the board in February partly over his own stated concern that too many "White men" were involved in Lincoln Project leadership, has also re-emerged, speaking at a widely mocked "town hall fundraiser" for the group last week alongside Wilson, Stuart Stevens, and Reed Gallen. They are all White men.
The group's scandals were not brought up in any of the various media appearances.
...
Schmidt and other co-founders reportedly knew about allegations of Weaver's misconduct months before they let on. Weaver left the organization in January, and Wilson, Schmidt and others bitterly denounced him as a liar and a predator.
Stories then followed about shady finances and...

Email and call in mass. They think this is their own personal show... They need to be reminded that you do not approve and they represent YOU!

The election WAS STOLEN. Everyone involved who perpetuates the lie should hang along with every single person that took part, down to the truck drivers and dock workers.

Twenty-one young men accuse Lincoln Project co-founder John Weaver of sending them inappropriate messages offering political career advice in exchange for sex - including one who was just 14 This must become a criminal invest against Weaver and the Lincoln Project immediately, the trigger that the Xiden Admin will use against the Lincoln Project, Rick Wilson's FEC & IRS fraud, and as the Xiden test case to overturn CitizensUnited:
- FEC investigation (LinkinPrkoject's first FEC filing showed 86% spent on the principals personally, and Wilson admitted it on Colbert), then to a DC Grand Jury referral.
- Imagine a District of Columbia Grand Jury with majority non-whites shown several pictures of the Wilson's Confederate “THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN” cooler, and also Mrs. Wilson's Twitter feed: "need some Mexicans to work 3 days in my garden".
- Then envision this same DC GJ issuing a federal RICO/racketeering bill against Lincoln Project.
- RICO is good for 20 years imprisonment, but even better: treble damages.
- Which would not only wipe out Lincoln Project's 9-figure$ grift from 2020, but put ALL of them into debt that their great-grandchildren would never be able to pay off - and keep in mind every single one of these people were in a debt crisis before Wilson pulled them into this RICO.
- Before Linkin Projectile, Rick Wilson owed $400,000 for back taxes, so he was more than a blip on the IRS radar. All they have to do at 1111 is open his current file and put their hungriest on it, perhaps agents who just might take offense to the Confederate cooler LOFL.
- Fresh allegations about John "Chickenhawk" Weaver every day. Imagine a coordinated invest by either SDNY or FED DC or even DOJ that obtains all of Weaver's emails, establishes that Wilson knew on the same timeline as Karl Rove (1988!), and widens Weaver's pizza ring.
- These old RINO losers (and none of them were any good, that's why that ran this shitty criminal grift on the libtard nutroots) have forgotten that, Democrats in power discard people time and time again after their specific purpose has expired.
- The FEC and IRS are ready with newly-appointed marxists specifically chosen to utilize these Lincoln Project RINO flunkies as THE test case to overturn CitizensUnited on a newly-packed Supreme Court.

An excerpt from Ha’aretz follows. From July 12 2020 by Jonathan S. Tobin
“Republican Voters Against Trump is the creation of William Kristol”. end excerpt.
Start my comment: William Kristol is a “never Trumper” a “never ending war neocon” and a closet “Bolshevik”.
“Bill” Kristol can KMA.

I’d hate to be an elected, mainstream, Republican with this bunch running around. They think they’re only hurting Trump (as if Trump is running for office), but it spills over, everywhere.
