Jill Stein got to keep over $4 million from the funds she scammed for her recounts.
How many people gave money they couldn't really afford in the hope that they'd get fair recounts of all three states -- and possibly overturn the election?
She knew from the beginning that she'd already missed the deadline for an automatic Pennsylvania recount, so that recount court petition was a Hail Mary pass.
So, between the money she never had to spend in Pennsylvania, and the $2 million in funds returned to her from WI and MI, she had quite a sum left over at the end of it all. She went from about $58K cash on hand at the end of the campaign, to more than $4 million cash on hand after the partial recounts of two of the states.
But she kept pleading for more donations till the bitter end.
And now Jill Stein, the only candidate who had dinner with Putin in Russia last winter, has a big pile of cash to use to disrupt the next Presidential election. And desperate Democrats helped her get it.

Not a lot of DUmmies chiming in. Unlike when the fundraiser was first posted and they were tripping over themselves to give their last couple of EBT nickels to the recount effort. They were sure that the recount would swing in Clinton's favor. Instead they found fraud in Democratic strongholds, Stein banked their money and their depression only gets worse.

1. No Surprise here
No difference between Stein and the Orange Monster.
larry sees no difference between his opponents, they're all the same.

2. Unfortunate
Maybe a Democrat should have filed for recounts.
hasslhoff recognizes that hillary had the only true standing.

3. PA had too big a margin to qualify in the normal way, no matter who filed it.
And the other two states wouldn't have been enough votes by themselves.
mom knows it's hard to find 50,000 votes when they're digital. Hm... recount, push the buttons. OK looks good.

4. Screwed and used HRC, then made her getaway with the loot.

7. Russians using far left parties to divide moderates in Europe
Jill Stein has received support from Russia(online trolls) possible links of dark money. Sanders campaign has ties to Russian interests in Tad Devine(Worked with Manafort in the Ukraine)
chevy chase very deftly finds the Putin link between Stein and the Russkies. A new twist for me. Stein as an agent of Putin siphoning off votes from Madame Hillary. Only 340 posts but this on discerns truth quickly.

8. she is dumb
She is so clueless, got played by putin. She has no understanding of the world, propaganda, disinformation, gaslighting, etc. She even helped get trump elected by posting a few days before election that Hillary would be more dangerous for the world. This is no doubt because putin told her that. She thinks Russia is more to the left (socialism leftover) whereas it is truly far right nationalist oligarchy.
alex concurs with the Putin angle. I never got that deep myself but I can see the connection.

9. She isn't dumb if she LET herself get played.
I'd say it's pretty clever to go, in one month, from $58K cash-in-hand to $4 million.
More clever than many of the people who donated to her cause.
mom follows the money and discovers it's well worth it.

Gee, 2 1/2 months after conservatives were calling out Stein as a fraudster, DU-folk have acknowledged it. Brilliant! And even now they're only asking just one of the two questions they should be asking (screaming!) of Jill Stein:
1.) Where'd that unused $$ go?
2.) How much $$ did The CHILL pay Jill Stein to be her surrogate?

Remember the Jill Stein appreciation thread on the DUmp? I do. :rofl:

Do y'all remember a time when the lefties mercilessly mocked conservatives about imagining Russians under every bed? :tinfoil2:
I do.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go reinforce my zipper, as my Schadenboner's making another attempt to break free into orbit again.
