Media Matters Employees Aid Watchdog Hitting Trump With Dozens of Lawsuits

[FREEBEACON] A "nonpartisan" government watchdog group that has generated a steady flow of litigation against President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
shares employees with the left-wing Media Matters for America, according to an independent audit.
David Brock - "Cocaine is a helluva drug" troll doll
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has filed lawsuits against Trump and government agencies nearly every month since he was sworn into office. These actions follow a plan that was laid out in a confidential memo from David Brock, the liberal operative who founded Media Matters, American Bridge, and Shareblue, that was handed out to deep-pocketed liberal donors as Trump was taking office.

Brock stepped away from CREW in 2016 because he did not want the group to appear overtly partisan as Trump was coming into power.

"Due to my stepped-up political activities in the American Bridge opposition research super PAC, I decided to step off CREW's board to ensure its public reputation for non-partisanship," Brock wrote in a statement post to CREW's website in December 2016. "I'm very proud of the work CREW has accomplished during my two years on board, and its work is more relevant now than ever."

At this time, Norm Eisen, a former ethics czar for President Obama, was announced as the group's new chair while Richard Painter, a self-identified Republican who served as an ethics lawyer under George W. Bush, would act as the group's vice chair. Eisen was tapped earlier this year by Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee to help its chair, Rep. Jerry Nadler, pursue congressional investigations into Trump and put pressure on Attorney General William Barr.

Despite distancing himself from CREW on paper, Brock never veered far from the group. Just one month after his resignation, the Clinton loyalist held a private retreat with more than 100 liberal donors at the posh Turnberry Isle Resort just outside of Miami where they discussed how they would "kick Donald Trump's ass."

#1 This is the same pattern that world class piece of shit David Bonoir (D - MI) did on Newt Gingrich; over the course of a few years Bonoir hit Gingrich with over 400 lawsuits and ethics complaints. 400. Four Fucking Hundred. For you young 'uns, let that sink in for a few minutes, and the level of scumbaggery of the Democrat Party ought to become self-evident.

You know what they say about the best defense. Why aren't Democrats being hit with similar suits?

#4 How fortunate that President Trump happens to be a billionaire with lawyers on retainer for exactly this kind of thing, and its another expense he can write off his taxes.

I continue to find it highly amusing that people are still pointing out that a real estate investor had huge losses on his tax returns. The main reason people with high incomes invest in real estate is that it creates paper losses (due to accelerated depreciation) they can use to protect real income.

#5 Arm of the deep state. I would have the IRS do a "surprise" audit on everyone involved.

#6 Brock, a lefty who carries foul-smelling, nasty swamp water for the Dems.

#7 I would have the IRS do a "surprise" audit on everyone involved.

You could do your part and send one of these in to the IRS. If it's plausible information, they'll do the audit. I sent one of these in back in the late '90's and wound up with a check for just under $25,000. I dropped a dime on a lawyer who was doing a lot of dirty shit so I sent in this form, attached what was essentially a four or five page audit guide telling them where to find everything, and I waited about seven years until they finished the audit(s) and they collected a ton of back taxes from him, which is the condition that must be met for anyone to receive an award through this program. I figure the IRS hit the bastard for $167K - $250K in back Federal taxes because of it, and then I got my cut (10% to 15%).
