Is this guy one their "fundraisers"?

EXCLUSIVE - The embattled national Black Lives Matter group used its charitable resources to solicit funds for its affiliated political action committee Tuesday, a move one expert called a "clear violation" of IRS charity rules.
The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, the charity that represents the national BLM movement, voluntarily shut down its ability to raise money Feb. 2 following a Washington Examiner investigation into its lack of financial transparency that prompted multiple states to issue demands to the group to cease its fundraising activities.
Since then, BLM had refrained from using its email list to solicit contributions - until Tuesday, when it sent a message to its supporters that was signed "Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation" and contained what appeared at first glance to be a donation button to support the charity.
When clicked, however, the donation button sends supporters to a fundraising page for Black Lives Matter PAC, BLM's affiliated political group that has worked to elect Democrats across the country since its launch in October 2020.
"BLM PAC is preparing for the most critical midterm election yet. Every single race is an opportunity to build Black political power," the fundraising page linked in BLM's charitable email states. "If you're ready to continue the electoral fight for Black lives, chip in to our efforts and start building for the 2022 midterms."
**SNIP**
The managing partner and CEO of Fireside Campaigns, a liberal communications consulting firm that sent the email on BLM's behalf, said the BLM PAC donation button was inadvertently included in the message.
“During a recent email send, Fireside Campaigns inadvertently included a fundraising link to a non-fundraising email. We take full responsibility for this error," Brad Bauman told the Washington Examiner.

Everybody who holds a position with BLM needs to be investigated and put in jail if guilty of fraud etc.
It’s OK.
Laws only apply to deplorables.
At risk because the Dem controlled IRS will revoke their tax rxempt status?
Lois Lerner, pick up the courtesy phone for a consult.
Donations to BLM go through ActBlue , obviously the donations just go to Dems . It’s the only reason why BLM exists and everyone knew this years ago but looked the other way.
Laws and rules are for little people.
Is this guy one their "fundraisers"?
It’s a terrorist organization.

At risk?! They should be under investigation for RICO violations. I guess some animals are more equal than other animals.
I’ll take “Things That Will Never Happen” For $1000, Alex...
Its charity status should be revoked because IT DOESN’T DO ANYTHING CHARITABLE!
