@guypbenson I can distinguish between "The ideal rule is X" and "The ideal strategy when the rule isn't ideal may be inconsistent with the ideal rule until the rule becomes ideal." But nuance is dead these days, I guess. — PolitiTweet.org

@amuse You can do it, but it requires a lot of paperwork to comply with Schedule J, and then can cause an investigation over whether executive "compensation" is "excessive." https://t.co/Ir342FCjIQ Enough benefits, and you start to run into §4960 problems, though that's just a tax. — PolitiTweet.org

Hey, @greggutfeld @Gutfeldfox : @FoxNews is using Eventbrite to give away free tickets to your show, so left-wing vandals are making fake purchases so your audience will be empty and people like me will be harassed by the resulting emails. Don't use Eventbrite. — PolitiTweet.org

@Everylastgoat @Cernovich Not if PV has a pending lawsuit against O’Keefe to claw back the money. A lawsuit destroys PV, but board members won’t have a choice if he continues to refuse to talk to them. (Not clear why Cernovich thinks the board didn’t make an offer. The statement implies they did.) — PolitiTweet.org

Ammo for what? It’s plain to see that PV dies without O’Keefe. The Board isn’t made up of idiots. (In my experience with other nonprofit boards, the bias is towards non action.) Either they investigate or Letitia James investigates, and she won’t want to keep PV alive. — PolitiTweet.org

@Cernovich Board is in an impossible situation. If they investigate and demand O’Keefe return money, he quits—he quit even before they could make the offer. If they don’t investigate, Letitia James strips the organization of nonprofit status, and bars board members from ever serving. — PolitiTweet.org

@Cernovich It was not proposed because O’Keefe refused to speak to the Board. It’s probably still on the table (that’s certainly what the Board statement implies between the lines) but if he doesn’t speak with the board, they’re going to have to sue him (which is also clear from statement). — PolitiTweet.org

@Cernovich Perhaps. But it’s a bad look to fire him in violation of the bylaws: that triggers the investigation. He just had to play by the rules to show it was bad faith and get the CFO fired for complaining. You can’t risk messing with the IRS, especially if you’re right of center. — PolitiTweet.org

@Cernovich Of course, if the total illegal spending is more than he can reimburse, O’Keefe is in as much of a no-win situation as the Board. But you simply can’t ask a nonprofit to spend $14,000 on a charter flight. — PolitiTweet.org

@Cernovich Would have been very easy for O’Keefe to tell the board “I did this event for earned media and to solicit donations. Maybe it didn’t work, but it was good faith. The CFO’s complaint makes my working with him untenable. Either he goes, or I go.” He wins that easily. /x — PolitiTweet.org

@Cernovich If the CFO complained about it, and then was fired in violation of the bylaws, the board had to investigate. O’Keefe could have justified it, and chose to kamikaze instead without trying to defend it. Now it gets litigated? Deadly for PV, but also suboptimal for O’Keefe. /1 — PolitiTweet.org

@Cernovich I don’t think that’s a fair reading of events. They’re legally accountable to enforce the bylaws and tax law. Board has to investigate, they don’t know how much was spent inappropriately. By their accounts, they still don’t know. They know this kills the organization. — PolitiTweet.org

@Cernovich And that’s what would have happened if O’Keefe didn’t quit before they could negotiate that. I don’t understand what you think the Board should’ve done instead. O’Keefe acted unilaterally. — PolitiTweet.org

If I take a flight, I get reimbursed for a coach ticket. If it’s a cross-country red-eye, and I need to upgrade to first class for my health, that sucks for me, but it’s $500 out of my own pocket—the nonprofit can’t pay for the upgrade. A $14,000 charter flight? Unthinkable. — PolitiTweet.org
