An 88-year-old widow living in a trailer in rural Michigan has been listed as funneling over $150,000 to Democrat causes through ActBlue.

Nearly 15,000 separate donations averaging eight per day, every single day, for five years, Michigan Enjoyer first reported.

The latest allegations come as ActBlue continues to face intense scrutiny from congressional investigators and federal authorities over its donor verification practices and allegations of potentially fraudulent contributions.

Why isn't this organization already shut down and it's directors and managers in prison?

[Dalberg-Acton]

It seems odd that the government won’t investigate Act Blue.

There’s only one conclusion to be drawn from that.

[fwdude]

It’s extremely discouraging.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

This is the old “bundle” system that used to happen in and before the 1980s. Big donors would spread hundreds of thousands of dollars of donations among their families and employees and so you’d get an 18 year old or a janitor donating tens of thousands of dollars to a candidate. It allegedly was cleaned up with one of the campaign reform bills (I know, I know, its a joke). I guess there were some loopholes. Either that or the Dems simply ignored the law (shock and surprise).

These types of ridiculously unlikely fraudulent donations have been happening for YEARS. Why is this allowed to continue?

[fwdude]

Are you inferring the Republicans use this system too?

[FlingWingFlyer]

She should demand all that money back. Sue the SOBs.

It’s a wonder the IRS didn’t visit and integrate her with their rubber hose wanting to know where she got the money ,LOL

“The latest allegations come as ActBlue continues to face intense scrutiny from congressional investigators and federal authorities over its donor verification practices and allegations of potentially fraudulent contributions.”

This “investigation” doesn’t seem to make a difference in what they’re doing.

Texas was on this, and then suddenly they dropped it. Not another word about it. The DOJ maybe going after Act Blue, but not for this. They dropped this too. Somehow Act Blue gets a free pass on these fraudulent donations. I wonder why ?

[not in the club]

She should be happy the IRS has not sued her for not paying taxes on all that money she “donated”

[Avoiding_Sulla]

Maybe you’re getting the sense that the fraudsters are enjoying the exposure. (This investigator hasn’t reported being threatened due to this exposé.)

Such revelations amounting to nothing would give them a super ego boast as they gloat getting away with it.

All they needed to do additionally was payoff whoever assigns the legal investigators, thus insuring they never face justice.

Additionally, it increases the submissiveness of citizens who feel discouraged by the seemingly inevitability the ruling class will get away with it again and solidify their positions in power. What can they not like about this video?

and yet, nothing from the do-nothing FBI Director Kash Patel.

How hard is it to learn who the real donors were? Banks need to keep financial records for five years IIRC. There must be a paper trail. Someone just needs to want to follow it.

I'm finding out that he is a real dud.

It seems that the only really decent appointment Trump has made is Tom Homan.

She could sue them for 150 million dollars for false reporting of her name as a donor which could expose her to election fund fraud charges. It would force a very interesting discovery in the lawsuit case.

As a matter of fact I should check to see if my name is being used fraudulently...I’d like a big payday courtesy of the democrats!

[fwdude]

Banks are now required to ask us the purpose for any significant cash withdrawals from our own bank accounts.

And yet, these corrupt “donation” organizations are able to operate under the radar. Doesn’t make sense.

[mdmathis6]

They think they would be secure until patience wears thin and militias start hunting these officials out side of legal means. That is what they are setting themselves up for.

[OldCountryBoy]

Funneling foreign money through actblue, via unsuspecting people that would never be able to donate a dime, and would never check their own donation records. Actblue just needs warm bodies. Who knows, maybe they don’t even need to be warm.
