Never-Trumpers fleecing the sheep [Breitbart] The majority of the money spent in the first four months of operations by The Lincoln Project, a Super PAC founded by George Conway and other "Never Trumpers," has been paid to consultants affiliated with the project.

At least $135,274 of these expenditures were paid to firms owned or affiliated with individuals listed as advisers to the group, or directly to the advisers themselves.

A super PAC led by a group of "Never Trump" conservatives has raised over $400,000 since it launched Tuesday.
The committee, known as the Lincoln Project, raised the sum from over 5,000 individual donors, with an average contribution of of $77, according to the group’s treasurer, Reed Galen. The top donation was for $10,000.
"We are truly honored by the outpouring of grassroots financial support that The Lincoln Project has received in just its first two days. It is a testament to the untapped reservoir of Americans ‐ Republicans, Democrats and Independents ‐ who believe our country deserves better than the leadership we have today," Galen said. "We will work as hard as we can to ensure that next November, Donald Trump is a one-term president."
Galen noted that the organization had a strong day of fundraising Wednesday while President Donald Trump was being impeached in the House of Representatives.
The PAC’s list of advisors include several conservative critics of Republican Trump, including Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway’s husband, George Conway, as well as two former strategists for the late Sen. John McCain, Steve Schmidt and John Weaver.
According to its website, the mission of The Lincoln Project is to "Defeat President Trump and Trumpism at the ballot box."
