He couldn't continue to pull this stuff without being funded. You can't hold a steady job when your job is running around pulling stunts and committing crimes. That is a full time job.

4. We Never Will...
The right wing welfare machine is vast and very experienced. Scumbags like Breitbart get "grants" and "fees" through all sorts of underground channels. Books are a great example...he is given a nice six figure gig, the "publisher" then gets a bulk order from a right wing group or "benefactor"...the payoff is made. Then there are "speaking fees" and "consultant" work. My bets are this shitstain is well compensated for his sliming and business has been very good the past year.
