BUSTED: Trey Gowdy Caught Being Bankrolled By Anti-Hillary PAC

*Gowdy’s leadership PAC, Themis, shared the same treasurer as Stop Hillary PAC since 2013, an outspoken political operative and Clinton opponent named Dan Backer.
*Backer also served as treasurer on three other PACs that each donated $2,000 to Gowdy for Congress in April. *Only after being confronted with these facts by the Washington Post did Gowdy return these donations on Friday.
*Just last month, STOP Hillary PAC spent $10,000 on robocalls and other efforts in support of Gowdy.


................That’s not all, either. Dan Backer has handled quite a bit of money donated to Gowdy through organizations that support him. On April 2017, 2015 alone, three different pro- Gowdy organizations are on record receiving donations from Dan Backer. The Tea Party Leadership Fund, Special Operations Speaks PAC, and Conservative Action Fund PAC all received donations to Growdy on that day, and Dan Backer is treasurer for all of them.

As if that isn’t enough, Dan Backer reported $10,000 worth of spending by Stop Hillary PAC on September 2, 2015. On that required and publicly viewable Federal Elections Commission report, the reason for the money being spent is listed as “digital messaging delivery and robocalls.” Of course, the lawmaker these messages and calls were on behalf of is none other than Trey Gowdy.

are not suggesting that there is any link between his political actions and the wishes of the people who fund him?

Because that would never happen, I am sure
