Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) appears never to have paid Lin Wood for his legal work. Thats a potential campaign finance violation.Two MAGA world luminaries who have spent the better part of a year promoting some of the same election conspiracy theoriesRep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and QAnon-aligned lawyer Lin Woodare now pitted against each other in a dispute that could put Greene on the wrong side of a campaign finance violation.
Wood, the Georgia defamation lawyer who has floated some of the fringiest of fringe theories about ex-President Donald Trumps 2020 election loss, posted a note on the Telegram messaging app over the weekend blasting Greene and claiming she still owed him for previous legal work.
But it turns out that Wood was not representing his former ally in her personal capacity. Instead, his services went to Greenes campaign committee as it fought two defamation disputes. Worse still for Greene is Woods claim that the Greene campaign has never paid him, raising a number of questions about the legality of their arrangement.
A spokesperson for Greene, who handles communications for her congressional office and her campaign, did not offer comment.
Four campaign finance experts consulted for this article said Greenes candidate committeeGreene for Congressappears at minimum to have violated federal financial reporting laws. They also raised concerns about illegal corporate and in-kind contributions, with some experts pointing to two possibilities in other legal realms: breach of contract, and, in a word, theft, if Wood were to take an austere line in state court.

(50,557 posts)We may not be looking at a Democratic pickup; Marcus Flowers seems like a good person and hes a veteran so thatll help, but the district is awash in Republicans. However, a slightly more sane Republican would have a real shot in the primary election against Mrs. Do Nothing But Tweet.
