Kevin Daley of the Daily Caller reports on the left-of-center campaign to block Judge Brett Kavanaugh from joining the U.S. Supreme Court.

A left-leaning advocacy group, which plans to spend millions opposing Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court, has obscured its funding sources through an opaque organizational structure.

Conservatives have dramatically outpaced liberal efforts on judicial confirmations in recent years, dominating the fundraising and communications space around Supreme Court nominations.

But a handful of Democratic operatives have formed a new progressive political outfit that hopes to close the right’s competitive advantage. Former Hillary Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon leads the operation, called Demand Justice, with support from alumni of the Clinton presidential campaign and former President Barack Obama’s administration.

The organization plans to spend millions opposing Kavanaugh’s nomination.

Demand Justice already emulates its conservative counterparts in at least one significant respect: The group’s organizational structure fully obscures the sources of its financial support, a Daily Caller News Foundation review has found. …

… The Sixteen Thirty Fund is bankrolled by a handful of supporters, one of which is George Soros’ Open Society Policy Center, TheDCNF previously reported. Between 2014 and 2016, less than five contributors accounted for 57 to 70 percent of its donations.

The Sixteen Thirty Fund is administered by a consultancy called Arabella Advisors, which provides “strategic guidance for effective philanthropy,” according to its website.

Sixteen Thirty’s most recent publicly available tax forms, indicate it outsources a significant portion of its management services and operational support to Arabella. In 2016, the consultancy claimed almost $800,000 in fees for work on behalf of Sixteen Thirty.

Both groups also have the same principal officer. Eric Kessler, a former White House aide to President Bill Clinton, serves as senior managing director of Arabella and as president of Sixteen Thirty. Both groups have the same Washington, D.C. address.
