Last summer I posted on the political rats at the Lincoln Project. This is an update on how the rats are scurrying now as one of their own has been outed as a sexual predator.
You have probably seen the news (a well-kept secret among deep staters), but I am posting it because I had been so outraged that this bunch of Republican traitors, never-Trumpers, was filling the airwaves with trash about President Trump and doing it using Lincoln’s name.
Here is Breitbart with news on how this all went down…
Ryan Girdusky: Lincoln Project Is Part Grift, Part Grooming Operation for John Weaver
“The Lincoln Project has always been just two things: a grift for people to make money and a grooming organization for John Weaver to meet young men to try to get them in bed,” said Ryan Girdusky, journalist and author of They’re Not Listening: How The Elites Created the National Populist Revolution, on Tuesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.
Girdusky broke the news that John Weaver, a co-founder of the Lincoln Project, allegedly sought sexual contact with young men in exchange for jobs in politics.
Girdusky began investigating accusations of Weaver’s sexual solicitations from young men after being followed by Weaver on Twitter.
“Within a day [of Weaver following me on Twitter], young men started coming forward and saying to me that I should be on the lookout,” Girdusky stated.
“They said, ‘This is what John Weaver does. He reached out to young men like me and he says I can give you a job opportunity if you promise me sex in the end.’ It’s three young guys who reached out to me very early on.”
Girdusky added, “I was trying to find out how many people possibly know about John Weaver, and it became very abundantly clear very early on that everyone knew. If you worked politics, there was no way you did not know about John Weaver and his actions towards young men, preying on young men.”
Republican strategist and political pundit Karl Rove saidon Monday that he knew of Weaver’s “pattern of behavior” since 1988.
So Karl Rove knew in 1988 that a top Republican strategist was using his position to seduce young men and never outed him?
The Lincoln Project raised over $87 million since its launch at the end of 2019.
One person enjoying a little schadenfreude today is Sarah Palin who knew all the rats surrounding RepublicanJohn McCain.
Endnote: I got my first appeal for money from the Republican Party yesterday and I am happily returning a note to them in their prepaid envelope, sans money of course!

While on the subject of political rats, see yesterday’s postabout Elizabeth Neumann, I thought you might like to hear about another rat—Steve Schmidt,former Bush and McCain aide who has come out of the closet to announce Surprise! he is a Democrat.
Actually Itold you about him here as he was one of the founders of the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump pac that spent millions inundating the airwaves with vile anti-Trump ads as they pretended to be Republicans who wanted Trump gone.
That post was the inspiration for my category ‘political rats.‘
Early last week, Schmidt went public validating Sarah Palin’s claims that Schmidt was a traitor who undermined the Republican Presidential campaign of Senator John McCain.
Here (below) is the news of Schmidt’s outing.
By the way,wikipedia reports that his anger at Trump was first about moving the capital of Israel to Jerusalem (he did not want it moved, said Trump would have blood on his hands) and secondly he opposed Trump’s policies involving the southern border. Anti-Israel, pro-Open borders: Sounds to me that he was a Dem all along.
Longtime GOP strategist Steve Schmidt announces he’s registering Democrat
Schmidt made the announcement during an episode of the “Battleground” podcast published Monday, as he and co-host David Plouffewere discussing the Republican House members and state attorneys general that backed Texas’s ill-fated election lawsuit before the Supreme Court.
Weasels united! Isn’t it interesting that David Plouffe, who ran Obama’s 2008 campaign against McCain, and Schmidt who was running McCain’s campaign, were pals.
“I spent 29 years as a Republican, I’ve spent two and a half as an independent, and later this afternoon I will register as a member of the Democratic Party,” Schmidt told Plouffe. “Because in America today, it’s only the Democratic Party—which is the oldest political party in the world—that stands for the ideas and ideals of American liberty.”
Schmidt worked on the the presidential campaign of late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in 2008, and on former President George W. Bush’s campaign in 2004.
The former Republican renounced the party in 2018 and identified as an independent. He’s been one of the president’s fiercest critics, and is a co-founder of The Lincoln Project, a prominent anti-Trump PAC.
