re: #13 🌹UOJB!

I’m dying from laughter here!

A GOP donor gave $2.5 million for a voter fraud investigation. Now he wants his money back.

This is the asshole actually requesting a refund—Fred Eshelman.

KNOW YOUR ENEMY!

Eshelman has alleged in two lawsuits — one in federal court has been withdrawn and the other is ongoing in a Texas state court — that True the Vote did not spend his $2 million gift and a subsequent $500,000 donation as it said it would. Eshelman also alleges that True the Vote directed much of his money to people or businesses connected to the group’s president, Catherine Engelbrecht.

Asked about the shifting focus from allegation to allegation, Engelbrecht said, “A good thorough investigation takes the course it takes, and we were not going to expose whistleblowers to make a quick headline.” She said that the group’s investigation “is ongoing even now.” In court documents, True the Vote says Eshelman’s money was spent properly.

True the Vote’s lawyer, James Bopp, said that no conditions were attached to Eshelman’s donations and he is not entitled to the return of his money just because he didn’t like the outcome.

You were enough of an asshole to give them 2.5 million, Fred. You deserved to get stiffed!

Real translation of his complaint is pretty easy to read: “I paid to keep Trump in the White House and that didn’t happen! I want my money back!!!”
