Circular Funding Analysis: Cleta Mitchell Network

Objective: Trace financial flows between organizations to identify circular funding schemes, common paymasters, and self-dealing.

1. Validated Flows

1.1. 1792 Exchange -> United Charitable

• Amount: $7,190
• Source: 1792 Exchange 2023 Form 990 (Line 1, Part IX)
• Context: Grant to domestic organization.
• Analysis: This is a small amount, possibly a fee for a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) account. If 1792 Exchange has a DAF at United Charitable, it could be a conduit for anonymous funding.
• Next Steps: Check United Charitable 990s for incoming grants from 1792 Exchange or outgoing grants to network entities.

1.2. The $244,944 Question (CPI <-> SFOF/SFCN?)

• Internal Note: A previous report (Mitchell Financial Network Red Flags.md) mentioned a $244,944 intercompany balance.
• Status: UNVERIFIED.
• Investigation:
  • Searched 1792 Exchange 2023 990: No mention of $244k.
  • Searched SFCN (State Freedom Caucus Network) 2023 990: No mention of $244k.
  • Hypothesis: The figure might be in the SFOF (State Financial Officers Foundation) 990 or the CPI (Conservative Partnership Institute) 990.
  • Action: Locating SFOF and CPI 990 files in 14DocsandFiles.

2. Potential Schemes

2.1. Common Paymaster / Leased Employees (The "Compass" Hub)

• Evidence:
  • CPI Summary Findings: CPI provides shared resources including "discounted real estate, accounting (Compass Professional Group Inc.), legal representation (Compass Legal Group)."
  • Key Personnel Overlap: Ed Corrigan (CPI, SFCN), Mark Meadows (CPI, SFCN), Paul Fitzpatrick (1792 Exchange).
• Hypothesis: CPI uses the "Compass" entities to centralize expenses and staff, billing back independent 501(c)(3)s. This allows "independent" groups to operate with minimal dedicated staff while relying on CPI's infrastructure.
• Risk: If these services are provided at below-market rates, it could be an impermissible private benefit or contribution. If above market, it's self-dealing.
• Next Step: Search for payments to "Compass Professional Group" or "Compass Legal Group" in the expenses of 1792 Exchange, SFCN, and SFOF.
