Co-founder of Anti-Trump Lincoln Project registered as a foreign agent for Russia

A cabal of Never Trumpers formed the ‘Lincoln Project’ ostensibly to protect democracy but mostly to defeat President Trump in November.

The founders of the group include George Conway [Kellyanne’s husband, she is the chief counsel for President Trump], Rick Wilson, Steve Schmidt, John Weaver, and several other Trump haters.

Mike Cernovich pointed out this week that one of the group’s co-founders, John Weaver,  registered as a foreign agent for Russia.

John Weaver, the top strategist for John Kasich’s presidential campaign in 2016 and a former adviser to John McCain, registered as a foreign agent to lobby against potential sanctions on Russia. This was made known in May 2019 and was reported by Politico.

Weaver signed a contract in April 2019 to lobby on behalf of the Tenam Corporation, a subsidiary of Rosatom, the Russian state-owned nuclear energy company.

Weaver was paid to lobby Congress and the Trump administration on “sanctions or other restrictions in the area of atomic (nuclear) energy, trade or cooperation involving in any way the Russian Federation,” according to a disclosure filing.

The six-month contract was worth $350,000, plus expenses, with an option to extend if necessary. “Time is of the essence in the Agreement,” the contract reads, according to a copy filed with the Justice Department.

He ultimately backed out of the contract when he was accused of hypocrisy for calling President Trump a Russian pawn and then turning around to become a Russian pawn hmself.

Ironically, in an ad the Project released earlier this month, they slammed Trump as “Comrade Trump,” someone who has “once again” gotten Putin’s blessings in the run-up to the election.

I believe Rosatom, the Russian company Weaver is owes his loyalties to, is the same company that traitor Hillary Clinton while Secretary of State secured for them the control of 20% of our uranium resources in the Uranium 1 deal.

I just did a translation; In Chinese the message, 这个不错耶,我喜欢!means This is good yes, I like it! But the handle, 择偶网 means; Choose A Mate Network. Apparently that one loses something in the translation or being from China they are hiding their identity for which I don’t blame them.

Good Lord, these people have gotten rich playing this game of protecting Russian interests, then blaming Trump for collusion.
