John, I'm excited to share the latest from CRC with you:

Read my takedown of Arabella Advisors in Friday's Wall Street Journal
In his lecture to Judge Amy Coney Barrett about the evils of conservative "dark money," Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) conveniently ignored the ocean of "dark money" on the Left. I expose this hypocrisy by describing how the Arabella Advisors empire obscures the sources and movements of billions of dollars of "dark money" on the left, especially in the fights over judicial nominations. Read my op-ed here.

CRC research changed the SCOTUS hearings
That Wall Street Journal op-ed was just the high point among so many times CRC changed the narrative during the Amy Coney Barrett battle. Even before her Senate hearing began, CRC's research was front and center at a House Judiciary Committee hearing a few weeks earlier. There Sen. Whitehouse first tried out his "conservative dark money has captured the courts" scam, but Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and others used our research to expose Whitehouse's hypocrisy. That research includes Jon Rodeback's catalogue of the many groups opposing all Trump's judicial nominees, and also Hayden Ludwig's exposé of the so-called religious organization Faithful America and its backing by left-wingers and atheists. Above all, Ludwig's special report on Arabella's network has been used by lawmakers and by the Wall Street Journal in multiple editorials (e.g., here and here) to show the Left has as much or more "dark money" than conservatives.

I exposed Twitter's hypocrisy on "hacked" emails
Twitter excused its censorship of the New York Post's story on Hunter Biden by claiming they don't let anyone share info received from a hack. Yet when Sen. Whitehouse attacked conservatives' work with the courts, he used documents that, unlike the Post's story, actually were obtained from a hack; in this case, a hack of the Bradley Foundation, probably made by Russian intelligence, but tweets repeating his claims weren't censored.

How did Russiagate happen?
Speaking of Russia, Americans have been inundated by so many Trump-Russia "bombshells" hyping so many meaningless and often inaccurate details that it's hard to see the big picture through the smoke screens. Guest researcher J.D. Gordon cuts through the haze and explains how a cabal of activists and their conspirators--witting and unwitting--manufactured the Russia collusion hoax here. For profiles of more than 200 of the conspirators in what may be the political crime of the century, see CRC's Russia collusion archive.

Abolish the U.S. Postal Service!

Is the U.S. Postal Service worth saving?

USPS takes taxpayer money to subsidize operations that could be handled much better by the private sector. It’s time to abolish USPS.

InfluenceWatch Podcast 140: The Russia Collusion Archive

In this episode: For two years former FBI Director Robert Mueller, acting as a Justice Department special counsel, conducted an investigation to see if “individuals related to the Trump campaign are witting of and/or coordinating activities with the government of Russia related to the 2016 presidential election.” Despite breathless media speculation about the inevitable forthcoming proof of “Russian collusion,” none arrived.

Joining us today is CRC’s Ken Braun, to discuss his work collecting and digging through the many key figures, breathless speculators, and clueless G-men for CRC’s Trump-Russia hoax archive. We will discuss background to the archive, some of the highlights of it, and takeaways about the Russia investigation and what it tells us about federal law enforcement.
