In reply to the discussion: Remember the millions Jill Stein raised to pay for RECOUNTS? Here's where it REALLY went. [View all]pnwmom
(108,980 posts)First Stein said they needed a certain amount (I think it was 2 and a half million) to do the recounts in the three states. When they had successfully raised that amount, she suddenly decided they needed much more. And then much more AGAIN.
But very early on, a judge ruled that there would be no recount in PA. Which means that thousands of people were giving millions of dollars with ZERO chance that the election results could be overturned. She continued to raise money under false pretenses till she had about 7.5 million.
And then, instead of following through with her promise to donors that they could vote on what to do with any leftover funds, she spent them however she wanted, including on her personal legal liability as a result of her dinner with Putin.
Hillary got involved only to assert her right to be involved in decisions on any recount, in the remote possibility that Stein's efforts succeeded.
