"... against an expected onslaught of oversight investigations into President Biden, his family and his administration," The NYT reports.
David Brock, the Democratic activist behind Facts First, said his group “intends to work with the White House where appropriate but will make our own judgments.”... People involved in that initiative... have previously worked with Mr. Brock’s team and have close connections to the White House and the Democratic Party....
The battles could be turbocharged by new outside groups like Facts First, which is funded by “dark money” from donors whose identities can be kept secret.
The ongoing law enforcement inquiries into two figures who loom largest in the oversight investigations — Hunter Biden, who is under investigation for tax-related violations and other issues, and former President Donald J. Trump — add another layer of intensity to the fight....
Many of the planned oversight investigations align closely with Mr. Trump’s grievances, including accusations of politically motivated Justice Department investigations into him, criticisms of the Biden administration’s handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan and border policies, and claims about the business dealings of Hunter Biden and other members of the president’s family....
Once a self-described “right-wing hit man,” Mr. Brock switched sides and became an ardent supporter of Hillary Clinton, setting up a political action committee that coordinated with her 2016 presidential campaign to defend her against media scrutiny and attacks from rivals. Over the last two decades, Mr. Brock built a network of nonprofit groups that are supported by some of the biggest donors on the left, and that play important roles in the Democratic Party’s ecosystem....

This will all work out perfectly.
Almost like they have something to hide.
How long until we are told to "move on" again....

Oh, NYT, stop being such bootlickers for the Democrats (yeah, right...)!
The corrected form of that sentence is the incredibly obvious "Once a self-described “right-wing hit man,” Mr. Brock switched sides and became a left-wing hit man.
To hide the profits from the non-profit "Facts First" Democrat propaganda machine, the non-profits to into the pockets of Mr. David Brooks.
And that's the fact...Jack!
This is gonna be fun isn't it? And it's all Donald Trump's fault.
Ugh! Stop headlining your investigations of each other and fix other things.
"Our own judgements" = plausible deniability for Pedo Pete.
With money from FXT???
"The battles could be turbocharged by new outside groups like Facts First, which is funded by “dark money” from donors whose identities can be kept secret."
Of course anonymous dark money is funding Biden's defense. How would it look if the Mexican cartels were identified?
Well...I guess they won't have SBF paying for this operation going forward.
Would this network of groups include people associated with FTX, BlackRock, Tiger Global, Amazon, and Meta?
"With Republicans in control of the House of Representatives, a loose network of groups allied with Democrats is planning a multimillion-dollar counteroffensive..."
"... against an expected onslaught of oversight investigations into President Biden, his family and his administration,"
Ukraine invested millions into FTX, FTX donated to the Uniparty, The Uniparty sent money to Ukraine, Ukraine invested money into FTX, FTX donated to the Uniparty...
But if you oppose sending US money and weapons to Ukraine you are a Putin puppet.
Don't investigate that.
It's easier for sleazebags and hitmen to change sides than it is for them to stop being sleazebags and hitmen.
Wait a minute, you mean there exists a loose network of groups conspiring together with Democrats to disrupt Congress from conducting its duties in oversight of the Executive Branch?
How much did they get from SBF ? A "loose network" of grifters.
but will make our own judgments.
Why I stopped reading the newspaper!!!
What's the catch?
The majority think gridlock is a feature. That's why the American people aren't giving the keys to the car to either party.
"With Republicans in control of the House of Representatives, a loose network of groups allied with Democrats is planning a multimillion-dollar counteroffensive against an expected onslaught of oversight investigations into President Biden, his family and his administration"
If he hasn't done anything wrong, he's got nothing to worry about.
Right?

It’s time for everyone to learn what a Suspicious Activity Report is.
Have you ever received one?
And start asking, why did Hunter Biden receive over 150 Suspicious Activity Reports?
"A Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) is a document that financial institutions, and those associated with their business, must file with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) whenever there is a suspected case of money laundering or fraud."
"Of course anonymous dark money is funding Biden's defense. How would it look if the Mexican cartels were identified?"
Yes, I consulted in Mexico for many years and had long dinners with many great businessmen. There are the "Clown" cartels that are all macho and unforgiving. These provide cover to the smart cartels who make an impossible amount of money on fentanyl. The Federales try to arrest the clowns, and you never know the smart guys are there. But I am sure Beiden's bank account does.
"What's the catch?"
In Tornado's Club in Madison, the walleye. And a sour manhattan.
GOP had 5M more votes than Democrats, just saying.
We have finally achieved true socialism. The Government and the Media tell lies. Members of the party know they are lies because they create them. Non-party members understand they are lies because the Media and Government are saying them.
new outside groups like Facts First, which is funded by “dark money” from donors whose identities can be kept secret.
They should tell Media Matters about these groups! Media Matters is TOTALLY APPOSED to "dark money"
aren't they?
... Mr. Trump’s grievances, including accusations of politically motivated Justice Department investigations into him ...

The FBI's Abuse of Michael Cohen -- Part 1
The battles could be turbocharged by new outside groups like Facts First, which is funded by “dark money” from donors whose identities can be kept secret.
This shady dark-money fueled organization looks like a good target for a thorough Congressional investigation. Subpoena every employee and every identified donor.
The media became a bunch of partisan Brown Shirts sometime during the G. W. Bush administration. "Selected not elected" they often said.
This era is so much like the English Civil War, the French Reign of Terror, the rise of Hitler, the Chinese Cultural Revolution, etc. that I don't know whether be confident knowing it will end shortly, or fear that it gets a lot worse before it gets better.
My source of 'comfort' is the infinitesimally short attention spans of today's 'Smartphone Revolutionaries' coupled with the inherent cognitive dissonance and self-contradictions of their goals. Women first! No, transgender first! Women, what are those?
Brock’s grift continues…
Wasn't just Hunter & Joe. Whitey Bolgers kin? Ding Ding Ding thealarms scream and John Heinz Kerry's boy and how many others? That is important. How many other congress critters had their kiddies shuffling funds from their six figure salaried ventures around the corners of Kiev?
"funded by “dark money”"
So, dark money, and money in politics, and rich people trying to sway Congress, are a good thing?
Anyway, what's the outside group going to say in defense of Hunter? That he had every right to pursue deals in Ukraine and China? That he was just a family man trying to take care of his family?
Will Brock enter the Capital to try to stop Congress from doing its job? 'Cause I hear that that is insurrection these days.
Once again I ask, probably in vain, where do I sign up to get on the payroll of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy?
I'm not getting paid to be Right Wing. But I suspect were I a leftist I could garner enough graft to at least keep me wearing nice new short pants.
Anyway, what's the outside group going to say in defense of Hunter?
Move On.
Off topic, but I remember reading David Brock's book on Anita Hill many years ago. Has he ever repudiated it? Has anything in his book been disproven? Because I found it very convincing. It's still hard for me to understand how the author of that book went the direction that he has.

Human rights. No, human rites.
Equitable and inclusive. No, diversity and political congruence ("=").
Follow the science. No, take a knee to the cargo cult, the twilight faith.
Liberalism: a philosophy of divergence, still.
Progress, yes: one step forward, two steps backward.
Religion: morality in a universal frame, ethics its relativistic sibling, and law their politically consensual cousin, maybe.
Women have dignity and agency? Perish the thought. Elective abortion for social, redistributive, clinical, political, and fair weather causes.

"... against an expected onslaught of oversight investigations into President Biden, his family and his administration,"
Not for nothing, but "oversight investigations" are part of Congress's job. Granted, they'll surely overstep, but all in all it seems like the narrative is forming that that's a bad thing. Now, if only Congress would investigate a president of the same party as the majority. They're supposed to zealously protect their imperatives, instead of begging the president to do by executive order what can't be done legislatively.
Steven: dark money is not illegal. These types of PACS and nonprofits are written into the tax and election codes and are used slightly more by Democrats than Republicans. Don't be naive: this is just the media pretending the Democrats are being virtuous by twisting facts.
Democracy dies in dark money.
Of course OUR dark money isn't as dark as their dark money. For our cause is just.
"Anyway, what's the outside group going to say in defense of Hunter?"
It's a lie.
Right wing conspiracy.
Unfounded, unproven.
But Trump.
Squirrel!
