The Georgia Hour, episode 117: Did RNC Chair Whatley & McKoon Discuss the $140M Ponzi Scheme in Atlanta Meeting?

Ques­tions swirl around a meet­ing at Blue Ridge Grill between RNC Chair­man Michael What­ley, Geor­gia GOP Chair Josh McK­oon, attor­ney Alex Kauf­man, and oth­ers. Did they dis­cuss the $140M First Lib­er­ty Build­ing & Loan Ponzi scheme tied to the Frost fam­i­ly? With the Geor­gia GOP’s silence, spec­u­la­tion grows about the Frosts’ influ­ence, Alex Kaufman’s dual role as GAGOP and Frost fam­i­ly attor­ney, and the lack of trans­paren­cy on taint­ed dona­tions. Uncov­er the poten­tial cov­er-up rock­ing Georgia’s Repub­li­can Par­ty.

• Michael What­ley was in town yes­ter­day under the guise of the All Star game and had a meet­ing with Josh McK­oon and Alex Kauf­man at the Blue Ridge Grill. Jason Thomp­son, RNC com­mit­tee­man, Gin­ger Howard, RNC com­mit­tee­woman, and Den­nis Futch were in atten­dance. Spec­u­la­tion is that Den­nis Futch knows a lot of the donors that have invest­ed in First Lib­er­ty Build­ing & Loan. Michael What­ley is well aware of what is going on. Well aware of the entire rigged process of the 2025 State Con­ven­tion where the elec­tion of the offi­cers took place. Michael What­ley knows that Alex Kauf­man is the attor­ney of the GAGOP and Both Alex and Josh are deal­ing with a very touchy sit­u­a­tion with the col­lapse of the FLBL and the enter twin­ing of the Frost fam­i­ly in the GAGOP. WE don’t know if Michael What­ley became aware that Alex Kaufman’s firm is actu­al­ly rep­re­sent­ing Brant Frost IV. 
• If you have pulled off a $140M Ponzi scheme, what line would you not cross?  Is there a moral eth­i­cal line the fam­i­ly wouldn’t cross? Could we spec­u­late that the Frost fam­i­ly have “Hoover files” that they could tell all? Oth­er­wise what would have giv­en Brant Frost V the nerve to restate him­self as chair of the Cowe­ta Coun­ty GOP. 
• Could there be groups of investors that law­mak­ers used so their name would be pri­vate. 
• There is silence in repub­li­can cir­cles. No one is touch­ing it. Josh McK­oon needs to come out and say until the receiv­er and the fed­er­al court say that the inves­ti­ga­tion is com­plete that the first pri­or­i­ty of the repub­li­can par­ty is to ensure the vic­tims are made whole that the GAGOP is putting aside all funds that have been received from the Frost family…you hear rumor that the mon­ey is set aside. Where is the state­ment from the chair­man? With­out Brad Raf­fensperg­er prompt­ing it. 
• Did Kan­diss receive her actions at the con­ven­tion for attack­ing Kylie Kre­mer? Pos­si­bly the last polit­i­cal dona­tion was made 3 days after the con­ven­tion to Kan­diss Tay­lor from Krista Frost. We need to check some air­lines for June 10th. 
• We need to clean this up now as a repub­li­can par­ty as repub­li­cans and not allow it to fes­ter. 
• Tues­day was the fil­ing dead­line for can­di­dates to file fundrais­ing reports in fed­er­al races. As of yes­ter­day Kan­diss Tay­lor raised 8000 and only has 3000 on hand, she doesn’t have the 3500 that was giv­en to her from Krista Frost. Kan­diss is about to lose it. She has no mon­ey and doesn’t have the mon­ey to pay back and she doesn’t have the sup­port she thought she was going to have from the GAGOP. 
• Ques­tions for Greg Dolezal. Is there a shad­ow hid­ing state law­mak­ers? The Free­dom Cau­cus of GA has received a lot of mon­ey with the Frost fam­i­ly. They have to come out and put a clear divide on what is going on. 
• This is going to con­tin­ue to rock the polit­i­cal world in Geor­gia and nation­al­ly. 
• Tim Flem­ing is chair­ing the spe­cial com­mit­tee the GA House Blue-Rib­bon Study Com­mis­sion on Elec­tion Pro­ce­dures. Jon Burns put this com­mit­tee in place and appoint­ed Tim Flem­ing as chair. Tim Flem­ing is run­ning for Sec­re­tary of State. They talked about plans from new vot­ing machines to even more new vot­ing laws and plans are already under­way as a spe­cial leg­isla­tive com­mit­tee. The House com­mit­tee is look­ing at a new vot­ing sys­tem that could cost tax­pay­ers more than $200M. They also revis­it­ed pro­pos­als that failed last leg­isla­tive ses­sion like with­draw­ing from ERIC and exam­in­ing the pow­ers of the SEB. These study com­mit­tees are already set up and the deci­sions are already made. 
• A big thanks to all the patri­ots that attend­ed the com­mit­tee meet­ing yes­ter­day.
