Maybe this is better for another thread, but who was paying for the kraken? I assume Powell is about to be stiffed as well.

He’s telling his campaign staff not to pay him. Rudy was doing work on behalf of the campaign organization. This is not White House business.

She was working for herself, raising money from Trump supporters to fund the Kraken.

If you read the entire lawsuit Dominion filed against her, they lay out the entities she was using to fundraise and their relationships to each other.

And someone needs to comb through these grifters financial and professional lives looking for connections to voting machine companies - I wonder if someone was paying them to reputationally destroy Dominion.
