https://thesternfacts.com/trump-donors-funding-gop-rep-whos-leading-attacks-on-mueller-and-fbi-report-22f4aa595719A new report details how one Republican Congressman benefitted from a surge in national donations from a group of 15 of the Presidents largest donors over the last eighteen months, before turning into Trumps very public attack dog, seeking delegitimize the FBI and become a Fox News darling.
Representative Ron DeSantis is a member of the Republican Tea Partys Freedom Caucus, but his donor list is missing the kinds of Koch Brothers cash one might expect, instead filled with cash from major Trump donors which Politico calls his billionaire kingmakers.
However, concluding that Trumps tweet caused top GOP donors to fill DeSantis coffers inverts the relationship between the two events and omits whats being shown to the President on Fox News.
I assisted Democratic Coalition co-founder Scott Dworkin in preparing his first of his Follow the Money series of reports entitled, Congressman DeSantis Funded By Trumps Largest Donors, upon which this story is based.
Trump and DeSantis rely on the same people to fill their campaign coffers. We know what they want from Trump the full-scale turnover of America to corporate interests, says Dworkin ...............

OP
Follow the Money is a big picture, and we need to say "corruption" more often.

Also, "Bought and paid for" ... etc. The Rs actually recruit corrupt candidates.
Tying these so-called "representatives" to they billionaire kingmakers is important, the more so after the tax bill gave away the US Treasury.
