David Brock May Be Illegally Funding An Effort To Impeach Trump
Daily Caller ^ | 10:43 PM 12/08/2017 | Robert Donachie

David Brock’s Media Matters for America appears to be granting hundreds of thousands of dollars in charitable funds to political groups that are trying to impeach the president and unseat Republicans across the nation.

Brock’s Media Matters for America is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization that has tax-exempt status. That tax-exempt status comes with an important caveat: the non-profit is barred from participating in political activity–funding or otherwise–that is in support or opposition to a candidate for office.

Media Matters for America granted $200,000 in 2016 to a Brock organization, though it is unclear if it was American Bridge 21st Century Foundation or a super PAC sharing its name, American Bridge 21st Century PAC, according to the non-profit’s 2016 financial statements and filings with the IRS obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Both organizations have a history of engaging in political behavior, as TheDCNF exclusively reported in October. Brock’s organizations face a Federal Election Commission complaint detailing an alleged scheme to hide donor identities involving both the foundation and super PAC that allowed for the funneling of untraceable millions that can not be publicly traced to their donors toward initiatives against conservative and GOP causes around the nation.

I’m beginning to think let everybody who wants pour in every dime they have cause it’s not gonna happen.

There’s nothing CLOSE to a case for impeachment and the senate is ours.

Spend the #### away.

They’ll just argue that he isn’t candidate Trump but president Trump. Leftists are notorious hair-splitters.

Considering how the TEA Party was harassed by the weaponized Federal Government, why the hell does the Congress allow this? After all Congres writes the laws.

Never mind! UniParty strikes again!

‘Leftists are notorious hair-splitters.’

Yes they are. And like Bill Clinton with the meaning of, ‘is,’ they imagine their hair-splitting is so very clever. In fact, it’s merely a petty way of avoiding larger, more important issues.

Sedition is easier to prove and document, like with their own words on the internet or videos of them actually committing acts of sedition on tv.

Why is David Brock sporting the Martha Washington look?

Is that a thing nowadays?
