MOST names on here are NOT a shocker...BUT Grassley, Stefanik, Jackson, Walker, Vance??? Did they know?? OR are they going to give it back, and Make the Rest look like Crooks, IF they keep the $...?
I am sure that most of those donations to individual Republicans do not amount to much. But we should still find out about these donations if for nothing else than to expose the extent of how money like this is spread around DC and State politics. In the efforts to raise the enormous amounts of money necessary to fund a viable campaign, I am sure not every donation is thoroughly vetted - especially if it is less than $5K-$10K. The huge amounts given specifically to McConnell and McCarthy are of greater concern.
Pay it back or risk losing your seat! Once the American people see the list they’ll never get another term in office. Pay it back & preserve your reputation!! Today!!
Theory: FTX had so much money they can cover all the bets
Fact: FTX had a stupidly large amount of money from everywhere, US-G w/ Ukraine funds, actual intentional investors, and stolen coins from absorbed exchanges
Rational 1 - They paid towards candidates that are AF/MAGA as to attempt to have some sway over them even if they are known AF/MAGA.
Rational 2 - They paid specific people in the staff of those candidates to be insider agents.
Rational 3 - They wanted to muddy the waters for people watching AF/MAGA candidates
While R1/R2 seem the most likely using an Occam's razor approach, the reality is FTX had so much money they could have been pushing all three points as a win-win-win.
From the direction of the candidates:
1 - They knew - don't care
2 - They knew and are compromised
3 - They don't know anything about those funds (likely due to a inside staffer thing, or just layers of funding being so over the top at times)
I mean there are other possible variables here but the overall framing of the inconsistency seems solid enough.
Certainly a way to know who at least cares about the appearance of impropriety will return the funds, or the very least apologize for taking them if they actually used their funds completely throughout the election.
Problem is they could be lying in multiple directions. Only time will tell based on what bills that support or push back on, and how they behave while on committee (that is publicly facing).
If I missed some logic there please fill in the blanks.
My only statement, this looked like a lot of work to gather this list. I wish it had more information as to how much was given each politician, some may not even know how much, or who donated to them (I, of course, seem to be giving some of them reasonable doubt--I am totally not sure how donations work, so I may be ignorant in this statement) we should give some of them a chance to make things right. The others probably know everything and don't care who donates, just give them money.

Agreed...Both McC's we already Knew about!
Answer these questions for me: How much each candidate got. How they got it. And who actually gave it. Did the money come through a Rino PAC.
Great Points!
I'd like to ask the one-eyed bandit that.

Most Americans will forget this list exist by wednesday.
No they’ll forget that the dude that put this together said he was going to make the Democrat list next.
Ummmm, more like who didn’t. What, Herchel— oh noooooooooo!!!
Big disappointment
Blake Masters
JD Vance
Chuck Grassley
Herchel Walker
Marco Rubio’s name is there. He voted to send money to Ukraine.
Keep this list, we will see similar groupings coming up -- guarantee it.
Maybe they gave money to some on the other side just to muddy the waters? Just a guess.

Ernst is often forgotten about but she is a big part of the dirty deals that go behind closed doors.
Here's a site than you can look at all political donations 200 and up.

I am sure digging around in FEC filings would bring amounts to light. Something I don't have time for today.
Democrat Katie Hobbs got 27 million. Why didn’t this dude dox the Democrats first? That’s where the BIG money is at! Penny ante rinos.
My representative does not appear on this list!! 🙏
My Rep and my Senator are on the list.
