Bloomberg News Admits $145M in ‘Dark Money’ Helped Pave Biden’s Path to WH
NewsBusters ^ | 1/25/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

Bloomberg News blew away the left’s hypocritical outrage about conservative “dark money” by tying President Joe Biden to precisely that kind of campaign funding — after the election, of course.

The liberal outlet admitted in a new report that Biden “benefited from a record-breaking amount of donations from anonymous donors to outside groups backing him.” Bloomberg News assessed that this meant the “public will never have a full accounting of who helped him win the White House.” But here’s the kicker: Biden’s campaign was backed by “$145 million in so-called dark money donations, a type of fundraising Democrats have decried for years.” By contrast, this amount dwarfed “the $28.4 million [in “dark money”] spent on behalf of his rival, former President Donald Trump.” In essence, Biden “dark money” beat Trump "dark money" by a whopping $116.6 million.

Americans can’t possibly follow what “dark money” means. Besides, they don’t care.

Money, blackmail, and death threats have led us to destruction. There will be no coming back once the DEMs are done with country.

I thought that campaign contributions had to be reported if they were over a certain dollar amount. I also thought there was a maximum amount that could be contributed by any person or entity (corporation, union, etc.).

Probably a good 75M of that was for staffing call centers in CA.
I know people who were working in one calling GA voters.

Even as Democrats say we have to force charities to name medium-to-large donors on IRS forms to fight “dark money”.

$145 Million?
Zuckerberg alone spent $500 Million in illegal money to help Dementia Joe steal the elections.

I bet if you follow that "dark money" from those "anonymous groups" back, a lot of it started out looking like this:

To ensure that Republicans do not break any campaign laws.

Probably at least 500 million more that they don’t know about.

These aren’t donations directly to a candidate. People donate to XYZ Foundation, which then donates cash or services to the campaign. That’s dark money and circumvent disclosure laws.

Oh so it wasn’t fake ballots - it was dark money that forced 80 million people to vote Biden?
