When we started the Lincoln Project, our goal was to defeat Donald Trump and Trumpism and Trump's

enablers. I don't care if you like my principles. I don't care if you like what I believe in.

You want to win or not. We don't have a client. We weren't here to move some legislative agenda.

We're here to kick the shit out of Donald Trump.

That's veteran political consultant Rick Wilson. Talking in a new five-part documentary about

the groundbreaking Super PAC, he and a handful of other Republican consultants founded,

called The Lincoln Project. The group raised nearly $90 million during the 2020 election.

Using the cash to craft devastating attack ads, hammering Donald Trump and his MAGA allies.

As election day approached two years ago, the Lincoln Project was getting tons of media attention,

and Wilson and his Confederates were congratulating themselves on their ability to use their

attack dog skills to stop the threat to democracy posed by the then president.

But how effective really was the Lincoln Project? And what to make of the internecine rivalries

among the principles and allegations of personal enrichment and a sexual harassment scandal?

The documentary now airing on Showtime takes an unblinking look at the controversy surrounding

the group and raises important questions about what they say about the state of modern politics.

We'll talk to the filmmakers, Karim Amair and Fisher Stevens on this episode of Skull Duggery.

I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States.

And will to the best of my building. Reserve, protect and defend. Constitution of the United States.

So help me God. So help me God. So help me God. So help me God.

So help me God.
