Club for Growth Action, 2016 PAC Data

The Club For Growth is the one we're going to be keeping an eye on in this section.  These are the people who met with Donald Trump, identifying themselves to be a group that supports Republican candidates.  After they left this meeting they had with Trump they followed it up with a letter to his campaign manager asking for $1,000,000.00.  When they were denied, they went into attack mode, spending a lot of money against Trump, with bad press and made up facts.

Theory:  We're not sure.  We're not part of either side but at a glance, we theorize that they were probably denied because Club For Growth (CFG) has a history of spending funds to attack Republicans.  In this case, they attacked after they didn't get a "thing of value" ($1,000,000.00) and some are pointing to a federal law which goes to extortion and other crimes.

Open Secrets records show that they went after Mike Huckabee twice and Mitt Romney once but I don't know if they pulled the same act with those two.  We do know that they were caught making a website against Mike Huckabee called HuckabeeFacts.com.  After they turned on Donald Trump, they made another which isn't live yet called TrumpFacts.com.  Considering they spent over $1,000,000.00 so far against Trump, we're assuming this website is the bulk of where the money went and where the plot reported by Megyn Kelly and Britt Hume (how do they know?) is going to unfold.  TrumpFacts.com is hidden behind a proxy so that's a sign they aren't willing to put their signature on what they're doing, probably because what they put out on Youtube isn't even true and they already received a cease and desist letter from Trump's lawyers. 

In this section, we're going to list the money and who gave it to them, one by one and try to figure out who is involved in this scheme.  I have a lot of sent material by supporters to add and I'll do that as I figure it out myself.

Sorry to interrupt, but I suppose this is how Club For Growth knows Scott Walker.

https://www.heartland.org/sites/default/files/20140909_courtofappeals_214cv00139_plaintiffsbrief.pdf

Remember when Walker suspended his campaign, he did so promising that he would spend his time taking down the front runner, Donald Trump.  What I don't think the average person knew at the time was that Walker already had a history with Club For Growth.
