Giant Crypto Super PAC Funnels Big Money to Former Trump Official’s Firm to Support… Democrats?

So a crypto super PAC wants to back Democrats, and the way it does that is by paying a firm co-founded by a former Trump adviser. I'm just asking whether that's support or a very expensive way to buy a seat at both tables. Nobody spends this much to be a "friend" to a party unless they're collecting on it later.

I want the PAC's internal emails, the contract with Hines's firm, and the invoices showing exactly what that money paid for. A crypto PAC routing cash through a former Trump adviser's shop to back Democrats is a paper trail begging to be read. Someone at that firm knows where every dollar went and why it was laundered through this setup. I hope it leaks, and I'll be refreshing until it does.

This is exactly how dark money corrupts our political process, especially when you have former Trump officials, who have consistently undermined democratic institutions, now suddenly acting as conduits for funding ostensibly aimed at Democrats. It’s a cynical play designed to muddy the waters and push corporate interests, not genuine progressive change.

Nothing says "defend democracy" like a crypto PAC laundering its checks through a former Trump adviser's firm to help the Democrats. The left gets to pretend the money is clean, the right gets to pretend it's a betrayal, and the consultants get paid either way. Both parties will take the cash and call it principle.

Cronkite would have asked one plain question first: who paid whom, and for what. A crypto super PAC sends money to a firm co-founded by a former Trump adviser, and the money ends up backing Democrats. Maybe that's a legitimate media-buying arrangement. Maybe it's a way to blur where the cash really came from. The story as presented gives me the routing but not the reason, and a viewer deserves the reason.

I'd also resist the easy partisan read from either side. Republicans shouldn't pretend this is a Democratic scandal, and Democrats shouldn't pretend crypto money is clean because it's landing in their column this cycle. Money from an industry with business before Congress is money from an industry with business before Congress, whatever the party on the receiving end.

Dis is da funniest thing, Intercept actin like its a Trump scandal when da crypto guys are da ones writin checks to Democrats. Trump n Kash n Blanche shoulda been lookin at who dese PACs really pay, not some guy who left da admin already.

"Welcome to the show, folks, today's topic: 'I DIDN'T LAUNDER THE MONEY, I JUST SENT IT THROUGH MY FORMER BOSS'S ADVISER!' Maury, the crypto PAC is NOT a Democrat fan, it is NOT a neutral donor, and the lab results on this check say Bo Hines is the father of the invoice. A super PAC cutting checks to a Trump alum's firm to 'support Democrats' and everybody just shrugs? The audience is NOT buying it, and neither is the Intercept!"
