Today, in the interest of public access to information, The National Pulse is publishing a list of some of the Lincoln Project’s largest donors from 2020. The data was obtained from the Federal Election Commission website and is available for browsing by the general public. 

The information shows a dedicated group of major donors mostly from the political left or hard-left, destroying claims made by the scandal-embroiled Lincoln Project that their organization somehow represents Trump-disenfranchised Republicans.

The FBI is now investigating allegations related to the conduct of leading founder Jon Weaver, who stands accused of grooming young men.

The list includes Hollywood types, hedge fund managers, alleged fraudsters, and Mitt Romney’s life-long firm, Bain Capital.

The list also includes Michael Moritz, a Partner at the venture capital firm Sequoia, who donated a sizable sum in three donations in May, June, and July of 2020: one worth $50,000 and two worth $25,000.

In an interview with Slush, Mortiz was described as spearheading Sequoia’s expansion into China in the early 2000s spearheaded Sequoia’s expansion into China in the early 2000s.”.

“We obviously can’t make investment decisions regarding a company in China, Singapore, Indonesia from Menlo Park – we need to be close to the market in order to make intelligent judgements. Equally, close proximity is necessary for us to build the sort of relationship with the company that we want. It’s very hard to have long-distance affairs,” he reasoned.

Moritz also described the prospect of collaborating with communist China as “absolutely wonderful”:

Opportunities within China over the next 15-20 years are going to be absolutely wonderful. One of the things people in the West miss about China is approaching the opportunity with an appropriate degree of humility. The capabilities of people in China are tremendous, ambition is massive, devotion is intense. It is truly a fantastic concoction for durable, important companies.”

Moritz pushed a similar sentiment in a controversial Financial Times piece entitled “Silicon Valley would be wise to follow China’s lead.” In addition to praising China’s authoritarian work culture he also posits that “doing business in China is easier than doing business in California.”

Sequoia Capital’s China practice collaborates extensively with the Chinese Communist Party.

Founder Neil Shen has attended high-level Chinese Communist Party meetings while serving as a delegate for either the National People’s Congress or the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.

Given recent reporting into the Lincoln Project, the activities of Jon Weaver, and the cover-up narrative currently being teased out by reporters – donors must be asked questions as to their role in the Lincoln Project, and what they knew along the way.

Here is a list of the top donors:
