Apparently, This is a list of every Republican that took money from Sam Bankman Fried [FTX Cryto] during this election cycle...more sauce is needed...
(media.greatawakening.win)
🧐 Research Wanted 🤔
I agree more sauce is needed, but to start, is there any sauce for this particular info graphic?
Try opensecrets.

Here's the 2.5 mill to the senate leadership fund. #20 Ftx Digital Markets

Agree. Names without dollar $ doesn't tell much
Not believing this list. No sauce given. None.
Then do some research, like at opensecrets as I pointed to above.
Allegations with absolutely no sauce should not be posted, imho. At least one source for the allegations should be given, imho. Talk about baseless claims.
I agree with you, as I have when people post that "I don't need to supply a source because I've done so much research" Homer Simpsons meme.
There should be some modicum of effort put into finding out whether a random screenshot with a bunch of names is legitimate.
My favorite is "look it up yourself"
Like at least be honest if you aren't sourcing your claims when you make them. Don't lash out at the other people for asking for sauce.
Just did. Remove Debbie Lesko from the list until proven with sauce. I just reviewed her 3009 donors for 2021-2022.

Good stuff, to me that's enough to disqualify the image until a source is provided.
However there are some pieces that fit, like 2.5 mill to McConnell's senate leadership fund. But that is a separate conversation that shouldn't drag in uninvolved people.
And very sloppy with redundancies.
After looking over this list, IMO, I believe that candidates put people in charge of their fund raising and are likely not always aware of "who" donates. They may not actually "know" about most doners until the election is over and the campaign does a detail overview of everything. My point being that not every name on this list HAS to be part of the "evil" we are hoping to take down.
Greg Pence? Related to Mike?
Brother.
I believe it is his son
So does taking the money implicate them as corrupt? Just wondering bc Ted Budd is on that list and he was a Trump endorsed candidate here in NC.
A) It's not really well sourced
B) No, but it exposes the smoke and where there's smoke, something is on fire.
Same w/ Vance and Herschel Walker... Def need more sauce and more context. There's a chance that a couple hundred or couple thousand dollars were spread far and wide to everyone they could possibly convince just to muddy the waters in case shit hit the fan...
Who tf is greg pence
Mike's older brother.
so...ALL of them

No surprise McConnell and McCarthy would be top donors here. I have a feeling they spread out some of the donations that McConnell and McCarthy were going to direct money to but didn't have to after the FTX donation as another indirect donation.
Crenshaw on there of course...
Every scumbag I suspected and a few I didn’t
Hang them all
Damnit. Guy rescehnthaler is my rep, but I've met him and my impressions are he is not corrupt. As far as I know he's a subscriber to the same source that I fiercly trust, as well as being interviewed on that program. He's alright in my book.
You can maybe find corroborating donations on Littlesis.org. It's a take on Big Brother.
It's a great resource I use all the time.
Very pleased not to see Devin Nunes on this list among others
Democrats=Endorsed. Rinos=Paid off.
I would distrust this list, I see it as a way to spread some of the guilt around and tarnish people who had no involvement. I see Hershel Walkers name on there, he is in a senate runoff vote here in a few days.
I see several RINO's on this list which seems reasonable however, Chuck Grassley is on that list, I do not think Grassley would take money from FTX.
Grassley is suspicious. I don't believe that is a quid pro quo. Imagine if you sprinkle a little on everybody to reduce the desire to investigate and prosecute the deep donations
Is "took money" really the correct term for most of these donations? I can see if you give $2 million to some PAC you may have had conversations with them about it, but if you're donating a couple thousand to a candidate, I doubt they even read that list. I donated to Ron Paul in his final re-election run via a website. I doubt he had any idea who I was.
Dan newhouse 2x. Which is probably true, the snake.
Which part of "Apparently" and "more sauce is needed" did you not understand??
Some people have reading comprehension issues Purkiss, give them time...
