10/ My income from the @ProjectLincoln was less than what I made in preceding years ( I will talk more about this later in the story) 👇Here is @sppeoples e-mail. You judge if it’s on the level. I’ll get into facts next. Stand by. https://t.co/c82iR5sBdA — PolitiTweet.org

9/ published accused me of profiteering and buying a home with @ProjectLincoln money . That is untrue. I should not have to say this and I should not have to say the below because I spoke out against Trump. 1. I have NEVER had a tax lien against me. I have no unpaid debts. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

8/ Did @sppeoples investigate the matter? Of course not. Trust me when I say this. I’ve seen it all over the last 30’years and then some. It’s a hit piece that was spoon fed. Lastly, the story that @sppeoples and the @AP — PolitiTweet.org

7/ sources. They transact with them. They trade and swap information. That’s why @sppeoples gave an hours notice looking at an OPPO file paid for by the Trump campaign. Did the @ap invest investigative resources into this story? Is this story the result of careful reporting ? — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

6/ with a stench of impropriety and scandal? He does. Here is a question. Where are the stories that are comparable on the @LeaderMcConnell super pac, or a dozen others? There aren’t any because just like the FBI doesn’t arrest its snitches, access journalists don’t report on — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

5/the @ProjectLincoln operated and disclosed its financial information in exactly the same way every other major SUPER PAC did. When you read the story ask yourself if that point comes across or whether the author, @sppeoples sensationalizes standard procedures and imbues them — PolitiTweet.org

4/ of ethical Chernobyls including with a British Lord ( all true!) and paid for by a vengeful Trump organization. ( high degree of probability -Trump jr and Kushner-Pounder) I will respond to all of the details of the actual allegations but before I do I want to point out that — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

3/ file contained information that I was behind in alimony payments. I told him that was untrue and lost my temper at him. The alimony allegations were not included in the story. The opposition research file was given to @sppeoples by Joe Pounder, a dirt digger with a long list — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

2/ More importantly, it was a corrupt transaction. I called @sppeoples and told him the charges in the e-mail were untrue as it pertains to me. He said the following. 1. “ I’m looking at your OPP-O File. The Trump people hate you, but I guess you know that”. 2. Peoples said the — PolitiTweet.org

CASE STUDY IN ACCESS JOURNALISM. The first attachment below will show the e-mail that @sppeoples sent to @ProjectLincoln demanding an answer to the below questions within the hour. That alone demonstrates the bad faith. This had nothing to do with the truth. It was about clicks. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

@sppeoples Thank you. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Through it tomorrow in detail. It’s a classic in access journalism. I’ll take you behind the scenes. It’s a great story. Stay tuned ….. — PolitiTweet.org

The only people in America who were targeted for political revenge like this are the people on the fliers. I believe with near certainty the fliers were paid for by Trump jr and Kushner. They quote from an @ap story written by @sppeoples. The story was a hit piece and I’ll go — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Founders and donors. Millions of dollars were spent on the mailers and they were sent all over the country including to all of the zip codes close to our homes. I believed they were aimed at triggering a sick person to do violence because of our opposition to Donald Trump. https://t.co/FwCsYq570p — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Ok. Let’s begin with some reading. All stories have a beginning. Before this one ends we will talk about American political corruption from Washington to Kyiv. But before that, let’s start with an examination of four anonymous mailers that were targeted at @ProjectLincoln — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

I was really moved by what ⁦@russwest44 ⁦@Lakers⁩ said at a news conference. A man has to stand up for himself and his children. He inspired me to share my story. Hope you can watch. I’m wrapping some things up. More to come. Thanks for watching. https://t.co/YqQeTPoBLA — PolitiTweet.org

Wait until @ap finds out about John Adams and the Boston Massacre. Herman Goering had a lawyer at Nuremberg. This is fundamental to the concept of justice. Just more demagoguery and nonsense. Theater. — PolitiTweet.org

“The Lincoln Project's actual financial report just came out. Makes some reporters look kinda foolish”. This is from the 2020 effort- released in 21. It’s a pretty direct refutation of the grift smear. I’ll have more soon on this. It’s long but true https://t.co/3EciSUeESb — PolitiTweet.org

partners and made some new friendships. I’m very proud of that. Those friendships helped drive a coalition that focused on the things we had in common. We talked about what we agreed on. Together I think we made a difference. — PolitiTweet.org

this story to the best of my knowledge. The organization also gave hundreds of thousands of dollars of cash to @staceyabrams organization in the Georgia election. The point was never about telling stories like this. The point was about winning. We forged alliances with new — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

I asked him if he thought there were any gaps in the coverage from the @dnc and the Biden Campaign. The Clinton campaign had underperformed in Philadelphia in 2016 and I believed the election would be close. Mayor Nutter activated his team and connected us to Reverend Mark Tyler — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

I’d like to share a @ProjectLincoln story from the 2020 election. In the end I think we made a difference and I made a great friend. I reached out to the former mayor of Philadelphia @Michael_Nutter. He is a terrific guy and one of the best big city mayors of the last 25 years. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Will Smith. Great guy. True story. But sure, the pull to work with Corey Lewandowski and the chain gang was strong. It’s all complete nonsense. I wish you peace and good health @cherijacobus — PolitiTweet.org
