Both sides are now promising to investigate the other side's donors. Garcia says his committee will chase corporate corruption. Asked about it Sunday night, the President said: "Well, then we'll investigate their donors."
Here's where the serious version of that inquiry lives. Last month I coined a term, AstroNGO™️: an NGO with no organic need or demand, totally a creature of Progressive billionaires' lavish donations. I counted three of them on one amicus brief attacking DOJ's California election case. Days later I counted 10 lawyers on a single Norm Eisen filing. That isn't grassroots. It's a funded litigation apparatus.
The right tool for that is sunlight, not a criminal referral: who funds which litigation shops, and how the money moves. Whether conduct is a crime requires evidence and legal analysis. Funding networks require transparency. Don't confuse the two.
And a fair question for the incoming majority: if you're about to subpoena Republican donors, will you accept the same disclosure standard for the AstroNGOs™️ on your side?
