Stun and dismay follow political espionage revelations

By Nick Reynolds, WyoFile.com Wealthy conservative donor Susan Gore was a key financier of a years-long  effort to spy on Wyoming Democrats and Republicans, an article published Friday by the New York Times revealed, shining a light on the lengths to which the Gore-Tex heiress and Wyoming Liberty Group founder has gone to influence the state’s politics. The report alleges Gore helped finance the infiltration of numerous political organizations in the state by a pair of “spies” tied to the right-wing group Project Veritas. Their targets were varied, according to the investigation, ranging from liberal advocacy group Better Wyoming and advocates of medical marijuana. Democrats and moderate Republicans within the Wyoming Legislature were also singled out, as well as the executive leadership of the Wyoming Democratic Party.

A conservative political espionage case to dig up dirt on Democrats and moderate Republicans viewed as enemies of former President Donald Trump ran through Fort Collins, The New York Times reported in an investigation. Beau Maier and Sofia LaRocca used large campaign donations to infiltrate progressive groups and political campaigns, including a $1,250 donation to Secretary of State Jena Griswold, which allowed them to a Washington, D.C., fundraiser where they met Colorado s chief election official, the Times reported. Griswold s campaign declined to comment on the article on Monday. While the couple with extensive conservative ties sought first to infiltrate political circles in Wyoming, they also operated in Colorado and Arizona, while they lived in Fort Collins.
