It's just evidence you don't know everything about their internal finances.
I'll say there's evidence that somebody doesn't know everything and that somebody is you.
Perhaps, but I am admitting that I don't know exactly how the Lincoln Project's money is being spent, while you seem very sure based on not much evidence.
No s*** that the founders of the group are former Republicans, which means they have certainly said and done things in the past that I, a fairly left-leaning guy, would not like. But that's exactly what they are claiming to be, so that's not evidence of grift. They have taken money to produce campaign attack ads against Trump and other Republicans, and that's what they have produced. That's not a grift, that's delivering the product you promised your donors.
Is it possible some of them are skimming off the top? Yes it is. But the proof is not in those videos you posted, just speculation and innuendo. Them donating to their own firms is unusual, but not in and of itself proof of wrongdoing. The firms are advertising/media firms. That's what they claim to be spending money on.
