Too little, too late, and to whom will the money be returned? Nothing can reverse the harm done by that donations' effect on the results of our election.

Yeah, $500k is a lot more valuable to the DPO, Wyden et al. in October 2022 than in June 2023.

What would we do without people like you to speak the truth to fellow Oregonians? I appreciate your effort so much and I’m thankful for your shares.

I'm curious now that the US Attorney and the FBI are zeroing on Fagan and the La Mota bunch how long before Mitchell and Cazares or Fagan for that matter start cutting deals with the feds and throwing some of our "leaders" under the bus

Excellent question. Feds "flipped" Singh to testify against Sam Bankman-Fried in his campaign finance fraud case. Likely, he told DOJ that the $500k DPO donation came from SBF/FTX rather than Singh, which is why DOJ asked for it back. In fact, DPO/Sec State (rather hilariously) referred to same in their settlement agreement/stipulated final order.

As long as we can keep the votes!

You can, madam governor. BTW, why'd you fire Steve Marks?

Investigators still need to dig deep into the La Mota cash. I'm still hearing nothing from the ORP on this scandalous funding scheme, granted I do not partake of local media sources. Also notice the left is making noise on how damaging measure 110 has been. Nothing lake a few deaths and societal chaos to wake (a few) lefties up to how damaging their policies are.

The ORP is more concerned with its internal squabble du jour.

where does Tina Kotek get $100,000?

Expand full comment

Recent large contributions: Union Pacific Railroad ($20k), firefighters union ($25k), Boeing and UnitedHealthcare ($5k ea.).

Notably, the last two large expenditures by Kotek have been her donation to DPO ($100k) and her donation to Oregon Food Bank ($75k), in theory to flush the funds she had received from La Mota. These scandals are getting expensive for her.

No worries. The crooks have lots of ways to get their money back. Just think of the $500k a loan to get Kotek elected with Uncle Sam now getting the money. Worked out for everyone, heh?
