@JohnJLindsley I didn't say it undermines her account. But it documents additional contacts with the group. — PolitiTweet.org

5. Thanks to @EgSophie who has stayed on top of this story. I'll continue to dig into and will have updates in my newsletter. https://t.co/TfpCIsWktO — PolitiTweet.org

4. Second, Doles told People Magazine that when he met Loeffler in December he was "was wearing a hoodie with a 'huge shield on the front of it that said American Patriots USA.'" https://t.co/bj3FsDCBwZ — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

3. Doles tells me he was also at that event. He was outside holding a banner for American Patriots USA. Doles said he and his group provided security for Loeffler, who Doles claims was being targeted by Black Lives Matter activists. — PolitiTweet.org

2. First, Loeffler also posed for a photo with the VP of Doles' group, American Patriots USA, Josh Mote. The photo was taken September 3 at an event in Gilmer County. https://t.co/Of0NZfhoMm — PolitiTweet.org

1. Remember this picture of Kelly Loeffler with Chester Doles "a longtime white supremacist who spent decades in the Ku Klux Klan and the neo-Nazi National Alliance." Loeffler says she had no idea who he was. There are two new pieces of info that raise doubts about that claim. https://t.co/iAZzIfDwuW — PolitiTweet.org

8. McConnell's Super PAC (and almost certainly McConnell himself) know who is funding the Peachtree PAC but they are refusing to reveal it. They are purposely hiding this information from voters The entire scheme is a middle finger to disclosure laws https://t.co/1hlHqiWzvS — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

7. Peachtree PAC also misled the FEC. The Senate Leadership Fund, Mitch McConnell's Super PAC, admitted that it is OPERATING Peachtree PAC. But when Peachtree PAC filed its Statement of Organization it reported no affiliated committees. https://t.co/1hlHqiWzvS https://t.co/bTz9rWFOTL — PolitiTweet.org

6. I'll be continuing to dig into the activities of Peachtree PAC and others who are dumping millions into this race, which is the most expensive Senate race in history -- by a large margin. Sign up for my newsletter for the latest: https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

5. This was intentional. Peachtree PAC opted to report monthly rather than quarterly. FEC regs would require Peachtree PAC to reveal its donors on December 24. By opting to report monthly, it can wait until the end of January. Voters are left in the dark. https://t.co/1hlHqiWzvS — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

4. Then on 12/9, Peachtree PAC started reporting MILLIONS in spending against Warnock and Ossoff. It has spent over $15 million so far. It's reserved $40 million of ads through 1/5/21. THE SOURCE OF THIS MONEY WON'T BE DISCLOSED UNTIL JANUARY 31 https://t.co/1hlHqiWzvS — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

3. The initial filing contained no useful info on who was behind the PAC. Then Peachtree PAC filed its first financial report on December 3. It reported ZERO raised and ZERO spent. The entire five-page report is a series of zeros. https://t.co/1hlHqiWzvS https://t.co/Qf614YiU63 — PolitiTweet.org

2. Peachtree PAC, which has emerged as one of the largest spenders in Georgia's runoffs, filed its "Statement of Organization" with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on November 6, shortly after the general election. https://t.co/1hlHqiWzvS https://t.co/a1TspJiwdW — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

1. The Georgia runoff elections are revealing the massive gaps in our campaign finance disclosure system. We have no idea who is spending $40 million+ to support Loeffler and Perdue And that's not an accident. Let's dig in. https://t.co/1hlHqiWzvS — PolitiTweet.org

@kevinroose Do you think this is why Shapiro is appearing in the Top Ten a lot again — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

McConnell slow-rolled and obstructed additional stimulus for MONTHS. Why is he interested in a deal now? Because the lack of action is hurting Loeffler and Perdue. It's about POWER not PEOPLE. https://t.co/o2I5fAMDfe https://t.co/p1k7C6A5h3 — PolitiTweet.org

6. At some point, the challenge will be convincing people to take the vaccine. But right now demand vastly exceeds supply. So there needs to be oversight and accountability. I'll be following the story closely. Sign up for updates: https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

5. Antibody treatments are in extremely limited supply -- and seem to work pretty well. Trump and all his friends were able to secure access. https://t.co/C1w70u8jED — PolitiTweet.org

4. If you don't think this will happen, consider that it has already happened. In the spring, WWE wrestlers were deemed "essential" by Florida so they could still perform. The WWE is owned by the McMahons, who have donated millions to GOP causes. https://t.co/C1w70u8jED — PolitiTweet.org

3. The next phase, 1C, is more ripe for abuse. That's when people who are "high risk" get vaccinated. People who pay 100K to join a concierge medical practice, for example, could have their doctor upgrade their asthma from "mild" to "moderate" to qualify https://t.co/C1w70u8jED — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

2. In Phase 1B, the vaccine will be made available for "essential" workers. Some categories aren't controversial. Teachers, firefighters, grocery workers. But the finance industry is lobbying to get deemed "essential" In some states they've succeeded https://t.co/C1w70u8jED — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

1. The current phase of vaccine distribution, Phase 1A, is pretty straightforward. Vaccines are sent to hospitals & used for health care workers and long term care residents. Phase 1B is where the wealthy and connected can start to pull strings. https://t.co/C1w70u8jED — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump campaign purposely pursued a strategy to INCREASE COVID infections. As a result, many people died who otherwise would not have died — PolitiTweet.org

Loeffler is still mulling over whether to object to the basic process of democracy and seek to invalidate the votes of millions of voters. — PolitiTweet.org
