What Happened to Jill Stein's Recount Millions?

[DonViejo]

The Green Party candidate last filed a form with the FEC since September 2017. And it looks likely that there won’t be a vote on how to use the unspent recount funds.

Shortly after the 2016 election, Jill Stein raised more than $7 million from shell-shocked liberals eager to pursue a swing-state recount. Two years later, the U.S. Green Party’s last candidate for president is still spending that money.

Ongoing litigation, travel costs, and staff salaries are also likely to eat up whatever is left, meaning those who donated to Stein are unlikely to receive a once-promised chance to vote on how the post-recount money would be spent. Nor have donors been given much of a window into how Stein is actually spending their donations.

The last FEC filing from the Stein campaign was for the month of September 2017. And the last update from the campaign itself came in a post on April 20, in which it said it was down to $932,178 in recount funds.

“It is strange that they would just stop filing reports given they were a legitimate, professional campaign, and despite still having more than a million dollars in cash on hand,” Andrew Mayersohn, a researcher at the Center for Responsive Politics, told The Daily Beast.

19. Pocketing 7 million dollars meant for the "recount".

Stein should be confronted about this at every event she is asked to appear.

Thanks Cha for getting on her case.

Jill Stein says she won’t fully comply with Senate Russia investigation

After months of silence, Stein says she will withhold information from Congress.

While Stein handed over all communications with Russian media organizations, as well as information about her 2015 travel to Moscow, she refused to comply with a request for “communications with Russian persons, or representatives of Russian government, media, or business interests.”

The Liberal Case Against Donating to Jill Stein's Hail Mary Recount

It wasn't a very popular position.

In fact, one poster accused me of "having a personal vendetta against Stein".

26. Among other expenses unrelated to the recount,

it will be a nice headstart for her usual role to attack the Dems in 2020.
