The nation’s largest lender, JPMorgan Chase & Co., is set to resume political donations after pausing them in the wake of the Capitol incursion — but will maintain a freeze on donations to lawmakers who objected to the certification of the 2020 election.
Of course, like much of the narrative surrounding the Jan. 6 riot, this move is reliant upon the notion that objecting to the election is the same as barging into the Capitol in the middle of official proceedings with a motley crew of disgruntled voters and a far-left activist or two.
According to an internal memo obtained by Reuters, JPMorgan’s PAC will not donate to a “handful” of the 147 Republican lawmakers who voted to overturn the results of the 2020 election in January.
The pause will last through the 2022 midterm elections.
I have no memory of JPMorgan or anyone else ending donations to the many vocal and prominent lawmakers who told us for years that the 2016 election was illegitimate, do you?

did I read somewhere that JPM is THE central bank for some ME country like syria or lebannon??
Discrimination suit should be filed.
Sounds like election tampering.
more threats based on what one believes or thinks
I don’t remember anyone objecting to the electors, although some said they would.
“Discrimination suit should be filed.”
Since donations are, by definition, donations, a discrimination suit is a stretch. I think the issue is, banks require all sorts of government approvals to operate. Bank of America, was, when I researched them during the Obama presidency, below the “stress” point where the government had closed other banks and divided up their assets to more stable banks. But, BOA was and is the Democratic party’s piggy bank. BOA will finance any Democratic venture. Also, BOA has blackballed all the Democratic party bugaboo’s, like arms manufacturers, dealers and anyone in the industry. That’s because, due to the many approvals required, the government owns the banks. Since Republicans never played this game, we never noticed the reverse being true, or BOA and other banks would have made a big show of banning loans to anything connected to the alphabet people or abortions. (Back in the day when the Republicans had a policy on those things.)
Oops the truth just came out about how our political system and the Republican Party works.
The undies are down and the truth is on full display.
These people are hooked on leashes to big financial business interests like JP Morgan.
The ones losing donations will have to get their money from the little people now instead of the insider outfits or submit to their “Masters”.
so now their donations are Bribes
So true.
Well, my wife and I are determined to give to politicians who primary members who supported impeachment.
Correct, you can’t force someone to make a donation. However, a state (let’s say Florida and Texas) can sell all holdings of discriminatory banks (for example BoA and JP Morgan) and prohibit investment in these institutions by the state. If that doesn’t do the trick, strip them of their right to do business in the state.
Good. Any politician that is accepted donations from liberal New York mage-corporations is suspect.
I’d rather vote for a politician that wasn’t a puppet of JP Morgan anyway.
Just so we all know who holds the leash
Last I heard CORPORATIONS are not permitted to donate to political candidates.
Might it be that J.P.Morgan Stanley Pierce Fenner and Finch is BREAKING THE LAW?
“PAC Summary Data, 2019-2020
Total Raised $1,130,590
Total Spent $998,780”
Shiver me timbers!
this is actually good. it will show us who is in the banks’ pocket and who is not. cut-off away, jp morgan. the people don’t want your puppets in office anyways. A rep in office not beholden to you is exactly what we need.
I freaking HATE JPM!
I believe I’ll return the favor and freeze my donations to Chase.
