Politico newsletter mentioned ActBlue investigation
Inbox | May 27 | Politico

Reality check: Trump has singled out ActBlue, the Democratic fundraising platform, for federal scrutiny of possible illegal foreign contributions. ActBlue has admitted to more than 200 such questionable donations. Democrats fear that they’re being targeted for political retaliation, and that a probe could force ActBlue to shut down. But AP’s Brian Slodysko and Steve Peoples sifted through Trump’s records and found that he got 1,600 similarly maybe-problematic contributions since 2020 — many through WinRed, Republicans’ answer to ActBlue.

The response: The White House didn’t specifically address the AP’s findings, but said House Republicans had “uncovered specific evidence of potentially unlawful conduct” by ActBlue.

Politico is taking up for ActBlue like someone accused of murder saying, “Look! I think that person deserves a speeding ticket!”.

They are that they have only been accused of doing this 200 times.

You can search for investigation reported my MarcoRubio and Ken Paxton (Texas AG’s office). I recall one Texas elder alone whose card was used more times than that.

Quoting Rubo’s investigation: Rubio cited reports saying that “numerous individuals, including senior citizens, have purportedly donated to ActBlue thousands of times a year” but many “had no idea that their names and addresses were being used to give thousands of dollars in political donations, with most of these ‘donations’ going to ActBlue. It should come as no surprise that ActBlue serves as a vessel for fraud, considering the intentional lack of security engrained within their donation processes and systems.”

Two Factoids

-Bull#*&tico is still furious about losing their USAID funding stream. The Hussein/Biden Regime funneled beaucoup $$$ to Bull#*&tico by “purchasing” thousands of Bull#*&tico subscriptions.

-When Hussein and McClain were running for President, McCain announced that any campaign donations that might be tainted would not be accepted or used. Hussein stated that he would use any $$$ from anywhere. He further stated that IF it turned out, after the election, that there were any $$$ that should not have been used, those $$$ would be returned.

Since the Drive-By Media were fawning at the crease in Hussein’s pants, they, of course, could not be bothered to investigate.

“ActBlue has admitted to more than 200 such questionable donations. Democrats fear that they’re being targeted”

So they admit they broke the law.
And that means they are being targeted?

Wait a sec, let me take take few more bong hits and get my mind right on this one . . .
