This part matches the article linked:
Republican Sen. Susan Collins has accepted millions in campaign cash from wealthy donors and powerful figures linked to Jeffrey Epstein—an awkward revelation as she fights to hold on to her Senate seat in the midterms.
Federal filings show that Collins and her political committees have spent years taking money from people with ties to the notorious child sex trafficker, including Jay Lefkowitz, the lawyer who helped secure Epstein’s controversial 2008 plea deal, and Trump ally Leon Black, who paid Epstein $158 million for “tax, estate planning, and other related services.”
In a story about a different one:
US House Rep. Ashley Hinson, now running in a tight US Senate race to represent Iowa, accepted donations from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Blackwater CEO Stephen Schwarzman, and private capital billionaire Marc Rowan, among others, all of whom were named in the Epstein files dozens—and some even hundreds—of times.
The Trump-endorsed candidate and her PACs accepted nearly $90,000 from these donors over three campaigns. This includes $30,500 during the period in which she helped delay the release of the files, according to campaign finance records from the Federal Election Commission reviewed by the Beast.
Nearly $22,000 was accepted by Hinson’s current Senate campaign, nearly $29,000 to her two congressional campaigns, and over $35,000 to two PACs sponsored by Hinson: Fight On PAC and the Ashley Hinson Victory Committee.
Okay, something fucky is going on. I posted it earlier, but then it somehow didn’t post the url so I grabbed what I thought was the article. This one is about Susan Collins. There are 2 of them. Sorry about that, since it might have been my fault on the first one. Now I can’t find the first one. Not sure of what’s going on at The Daily Beast.
Here is an article confirming that both are taking epstein money since I can’t find the OG article: https://www.thegazette.com/opinion/ashley-hinson-is-tapping-epstein-class-for-campaign-cash/article_4984f799-54d1-40e4-9ac7-705d292582c5.html
I’ve noticed something weird about dailybeast’s infinite scroll. A reader view messes it up every time, and sometimes I can never get to the article once it’s “scrolled” down.
That could be it, but I did a search too. Idk, maybe they removed it for whatever reason.
Not even enough for a new car but enough for bribing politicians to ignore a whole ring of child rapist. Literally average facebook users who voted for these politicians.
Why so little money?
Always important to remember that this is the public money. There’s no telling how many pacs they have funded, they may have funded downstream races with the understanding that the credit goes to her and therefore the political capital, there might be promises of future jobs as a lobbyist or board member, jobs for family members and relatives, etc… Tip of the iceberg.
Note that trump was mentioned thousands of times in the ones that were unredacted. Probably tens of thousands of times in the entire thing.
all of whom were named in the Epstein files dozens—and some even hundreds—of times
There were congressional representatives who saw the unredacted files. A simple search showed Trump’s name more than a million times.
And the vast majority of the files are videos.
Those two facts might be unrelated, but likely not.
Why is the picture of Susan Collins?
I explain it above and in the body of the link. There are 2 different people, one House and one Senate, but both are trying to get into the Senate.
For them is like throwing peanuts to the monkeys
