Daily Beast: “According to the 13 campaign finance experts interviewed for this article, WinRed has not disclosed possibly tens of millions of dollars in PAC expenses. In doing so, WinRed, which Republican leaders forced on campaigns in the 2020 election, has kept secret the identities of the people and firms who work for it and provide its services.”

“According to these experts, based on WinRed’s disclosures, the PAC appears to have potentially crossed the blurry lines of federal campaign finance laws.”

gives money to an antidemocratic pac knowing that his family will not know so he will not have to answer to his family for being anti-democratic or voting for racists and masogynist politicians who let people die. Then the pac can blackmail him. Kind of like how the nazis made 2/3 rds of Germans so complicit in killing jews or facing a death if they thought of leaving nazi-ism that they would fight to the death for Hitler cause there was no other existance. Very few fought off the nazis or had second thoughts they acted on. It doesn't have to be explicit blackmail. It could just be the use of pressure points like the Lincoln Project says Republicans use.
