In fairness, nothing is going to happen if they don't get it in on time, and all parties involved know that.

Why did he have to mention that whoever "fell for it" was "a woman of color??" Would it not have been a bad act if say..... a white cis christian male "fell for it" and said something that could be used against him on camera?
Of course not! And it happens every day all day on the 24/7 "News Entertainment" stations. Someone asks a question:
"What if a gay black muslim wandered over your property line, saw your daughter, and then charged at her with a knife? Do you think it would be okay to kill a gay black muslim?"
And the answer:
"Yes, of course I would shoot that guy without a second thought. Especially if he was going after my daughter. I have to protect my family first and foremost."
The news will run a "warm up" story about some gay bakery or something refusing to allow gays into the establishment. ( Priming the interpretation )
News will, immediately after the story about someone being kicked off a commercial property, then run the story on the politican "falling for it."
They will say something like:
"We asked X currently running for / holding Y office what he thought about gay black muslims on his property. His answer may astound you."
Then show some edited footage that chops up the full interview:
"I would shoot that guy without a second thought. Especially if he was going after my daughter."
And there it is. No law was broken, they did in fact quote him and didn't take half of one sentence and merge it without another, they got a slid phrase (albeit only taking the inner 80% of the answer)
They've primed the audience to be thinking about people's right to shop anywhere without discrimination vs a shop owners right to deny their customers based on their belief.
Then, they summarize their question, leaving out the critical parts (about charging at her with a knife), which changed the original Q/A about home and family defense into the MSM-spun narrative about politican is secret racist/homophobe.
Following that they will probably have a fluff piece about some candidate that the news org endorses (bought off by the right people) about how he loves everyone and all are wecome at his house, regardless of sexual prefrence, gender, religion or lack thereof, or color of skin.
So they would push a whole bullshit narrative about some shit that doesn't exist to get dumb sheeple mad. The madder they get, the more they watch the "news entertainment." The more they watch, the more your adspace is worth. $$$$
Shit like this is why so many people are fed up with the main stream news, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, "local news" highlights of those stations, whatever. Personally I think that's a good thing, as it probably gets them more active in the political process than they otherwise would be. But there are many folks who don't get how shit is twisted to push a narrative, they directly buy into everything, they are mad at who the news tells them to be mad at, they think they are getting the full story watching both CNN and Fox News (controlled opposition).
The thing is, Brianna only goes on camera is the most softball of situations where she has complete control over everything: no questions about the past/qualifications, no bringing up Gamergate in any way except basically was world war 3, etc. She's so full of shit that she's been "at risk" in any of their completely controlled media appearances.
So... this makes me wonder: has she been contacted about doing some sort of high-exposure thing, be it national news or whatever, BUT it's not through her normal backchannel friends? Like, is she worried about doing it and is setting up already the narrative that "when they said I went to college for 10 years but don't hold any degrees, and killed my dog by leaving him outside in the cold so I could whine on twitter, they were totally taking me out of context! See, [reference tweet] I knew this would happen."
Doing an interview/panel/debate prepped like that would mitigate the risk of losing anyone who "supports her" on twitter ( they buy into her bullshit like it's Filet Mignon. They think she is so unfairly harassed and such a great person ), but has a chance to actually impress folks who aren't already following her ( except she's not impressive, despite her thinking so of herself ).
So if you're reading this Brianna, and my suspicions are right, I say do it. Go do the national news debate or talk or whatever. We would all love to say it, you've already mitigated any loss from it "what have you got to lose?"
Show us how great you are. I'll be waiting.
Anyway, sorry for writing up so much. I don't remember what my original point was, but I'm sure it was important. Reminder to self: don't drink and shitpost.

FEC report is up - http://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/C00633669/1248901/
Wu raised $65K. Respectable. Amazingly, the Wu household dumped a $50K loan into the campaign. This thing is becoming a very expensive and very public act of masturbation.

Holy fuck, it's here.
She filed it a full 13 minutes ahead the deadline. A miracle!
It's a bumper one too, it's going to take some time to analyse. The headlines are she got more donations this quarter than in the entire of the rest of the campaign put together, and Frank put in 50K of his own money. This should be interesting!

The financials are in!!
https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00633669/?cycle=2018&tab=filings
Quick takes:
Frank loaned 50 grand to the campaign (!!)
Buying signatures cost $9550
New campaign workers: Roberto Garcia (paid $1000 this quarter), Kate Garvey ($9700 this quarter), Sage Quiamno ($1200), Chris Reardon ($5500)
@W person cow got paid a mere $5250 this quarter
John spent over $3000 on Twitter ads
EDIT: here's one bit that's either sketchy or sad. James Terman and Terry Terman both donated a ton last quarter and are either maxed out or close to it. Now comes a third Terman, Martin Terman. Either the other Termans are funneling extra contributions through him, or John is going begging to every single member of that sad, sad family.
EDIT2: So the campaign started with $3K on-hand, got about $15K of legit donations, and spent $45K. No wonder Frank had to cut that check.
Also, Frank probably screwed up the math and double-counted the loan on his balance sheet - unless anyone really believes his take from small (sub-$250) donors jumped from $5K last quarter to $65K this quarter. And if they're going begging to their whales for seconds, I doubt that.
EDIT3: Imran Cooper didn't last long, did he?
EDIT4: also, notice Frank's sophisticated anti-doxing strategy. He removed the house numbers for almost all of the itemized donors and recipients' addresses, including places like Facebook whose addresses are public knowledge. I wonder just where on Hacker Way Facebook HQ could be located?
No idea if that all is strictly legal.
Amusing side note: why did they order $500 worth of buttons twice from two different places? Did they misspell "WU" on the first batch?

Going off of the money spent on buttons they should have almost 5,000 misprinted* buttons laying around somewhere.
* It seems to be a "design it yourself / proof it yourself" type of deal, it's the perfect trap for someone like Wu.

It may have been just promoting his account/tweets like what @Kenneth Erwin Engelhardt bought, I remember there was a Frank with an Infinity Gauntlet toy tweet that was capped because it was promoted.
Based off the people complaining about seeing Wu's promoted tweets, they have been paying for it since at least November or December 2017 and it is still going on as of this week.

These are promoted Tweets, right? She promotes the most random nonsense in an effort to gain followers. It works, but it also results in a bunch of people replying “why is this garbage on my feed?”
Promoted Tweets make sense for Brianna. It’s just another pay 2 win experience.

By the way, the next FEC report should be coming on or around August 23, the 12-day pre-primary report.
After that we're back on the quarterly schedule (October 15, January 31, and so on) until they file a termination report to wind down their activities. Assuming they don't try to set up a Hillary-esque perpetual campaign slush fund or mount a write-in/third-party campaign in the general election, they'll presumably file for termination soon after the primary.

Ugh oh. @AnOminous what are your thoughts about the likelyhood of getting a ding on the Wu Scampaign here over inappropriate use of campaign funds? She spent campaign funds on this shit... I can't imagine a world where a judge would consider "I drove my friends car and it went vroom vrooooom" campaign-related...

So, things we already knew:
Other things:
He's an accountant apparently, though maybe that's in the same way that Warren is a film maker. Perhaps Wu should consult him on how scammy her payroll is. There's also Sage Quiamno who lives in Seattle and is apparently some sort of women's pay equality campaigner. Christ knows what she did for Wu's campaign. Something pointless no doubt.
Anyway, the chief takeaway here is that Wu has spent an astonishing amount of money this quarter on fucking nothing. Chiefly she has been spending on minions to do her bidding. She doesn't have the money or support to operate a successful campaign, and it's now even more certain than before that she's going to lose. I guess she's just milking the attention for whatever it's worth until it's time for the next scam.
- Ballot Access Management did the signature collection. She spent almost 10K on their services, more than Voehl did, presumably because she left it until the last minute.
- Kate Garvey, the friend of Warren is working for the campaign. She's the highest paid worker with almost 10K for the quarter.
Other things:
- She's paid a bunch of people for work on the scampaign this quarter, but she hasn't paid a penny in payroll taxes. It's absolutely indefensible that all these people are contract workers, considering they're paid as full time staff. The IRS would probably be pissed if they found out.
- Chiefly the focus of the campaign appears to be making money, which it is doing poorly. They employed Grassroots Analytics as fundraising consultants (misspelled as "Grassroots Analytica" in the report, Wu must have been thirsting after that Cambridge Analytica notoriety) to get more donors.
- She paid for her flight to Altconf with campaign funds, as is now scampaign tradition.
- Also as is tradition, the itemised expenditures total doesn't tally with the total expenditures. Over 2000 bucks is completely unaccounted for. Who knows where that went.
- Wu's a fucking cheapskate, Lynch is a man of the people. Lynch gave over a thousand bucks towards the Braintree 4th of July celebrations fund, Wu gave nothing.
- Wu finally got some campaign shit printed, but she's spent a fraction on printing that the Lynch campaign has.
- As mentioned above, Wu spent an astonishing amount of money promoting her every tweet.
- The other full time member of staff is Chris Reardon, this guy:

At least Warren did some things that were tangible for the campaign in the form of going door to door and showing up at events. The other salaried campaign "staff" practically did not exist to us until today.

At this point I don't trust any of these numbers at all. That $60K of unitemized donations is complete nonsense.
Let's compare this to Q3 2017, the last time Frank dropped full dox on his donors.
In that quarter, there were $4556.89 of "small donor" donations - the kind that would be showing up as an unitemized total now.
These donations average about $33 apiece, and came from 100 distinct individuals.
Now, the unitemized donations increased about $56K over Q1. That would be about 1707 average donations - if we assume they're all subscribers (unlikely) that's still about 570 new individual paypigs on top of the original 100. That seems fanciful given that there hasn't been any discernible campaign activity going on.
