A Democrat operative has decided to shut down his fact-checking "army" just before President-Elect Donald Trump is about to re-enter the Oval Office. 

Do you think this is a coincidence? We don't.

The news that David Brock is ending his fact-checking operation comes from the Washington Examiner, via a report, titled, David Brock’s House GOP fact-checking army dissolves ahead of Trump 2.0. 

For those unfamiliar with Brock, he is the man who started the Facts First USA nonprofit. He also is the founder of Media Matters, and he has ties to the Clintons, among others.

Facts First?

This group bills itself as "a bipartisan organization focused on ensuring that our national discourse is grounded in facts and honest debate."

It claims:

Through research, media, digital, and paid advertising, Facts First USA will act as a Truth SWAT-team, ensuring that facts are front and center to counter bad-faith lies and misinformation. We will work to limit the reach of the right-wing rage machine – to keep it within their own echo chamber rather than allowing it to become part of the mainstream media coverage . . .

Brock formed the group back in 2022 with Democratic consultants who have ties to the Clintons.

The Examiner reports:

Over the last two years, the group worked to counter “the lies of the MAGA-Majority” in Congress, blasting out fundraising emails and a reliable stream of press releases criticizing House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) for spreading alleged “conspiracies” through their inquiries into President Joe Biden’s family.

Now, however, the group is "dissolved."

The latest: it's been "dissolved"

The Examiner reports that Facts First USA "is now listed as 'dissolved' in corporate records filed in Washington, D.C." The question, of course, is "why now?"

A Facts First USA official told the Examiner that it "was planned as a temporary project dealing with investigation pushback whose work has been completed."

However, there may be more to the story - as there often is with these type of groups.

The Examiner notes:

The news comes as Trump and his allies vow to take on fact-checkers and some large corporations roll back programs to target purported misinformation online. To Republicans, the industry has demonstrated itself to be partisan in favor of the Left.

In other words, it is looking as though Brock is getting out of dodge before he lands himself in hot water with the incoming Trump administration.
