Swiss billionaire behind Dem ‘dark money’ donations despite not being US citizen
NY Post ^ | May 26, 2022 | Isabel Vincent

Hansjörg Wyss, a Swiss citizen, has contributed millions to nonprofits that have benefited Democratic causes. Insiders say he will ramp it up leading to the November midterm elections..

A Swiss octogenarian billionaire has donated tens of millions of dollars to Democratic politicians and progressive causes in “dark money” contributions — and Hansjörg Wyss is likely funneling millions more to influence midterm elections in November,

One Virginia-based think tank estimates that, since 2016, nonprofits linked to Wyss have funneled more than $253 million to Democratic candidates and related causes, such as voter registration initiatives that benefit the party and ... through a dizzying array of related nonprofits.

...

Wyss, 86, is not a US citizen or permanent resident, and cannot directly or even indirectly make contributions to federal political candidates

....

Worth more than $5 billion, Wyss resides in the US under an E-2 investor visa...

...

By weaponizing charitable groups for political gain, he’s effectively bypassed campaign finance restrictions barring non-citizens from meddling in American elections.

....

Wyss and a host of other billionaires are also linked to Arabella Advisors, “a secretive liberal dark-money juggernaut” that spent more than a billion dollars to help Biden become president ... Founded in 2005 by Eric Kessler, a Clinton administration official, the fund manages a network of five nonprofits — the New Venture Fund, the Sixteen Thirty Fund, the Hopewell Fund, the Windward Fund and the North Fund — that dole out millions .

...

The complaint also notes that “the law prohibits foreign nationals from making contributions to political committees whether directly or indirectly.”

...

He is on the board of directors of the Center for American Progress, a Democratic think tank with close connections to the Biden administration. Other board members include Abrams, Podesta and billionaire liberal activist Tom Steyer.

From 2016 -.........Swiss billionaire and seven-figure Clinton Foundation donor is pouring millions of dollars into a nonprofit voter registration and turnout operation and appears to have shared information about the project with the Democratic Party, a leaked document reveals.

Hansjörg Wyss is accelerating a $100 million registration and get-out-the-vote plan in order to more quickly impact elections and the U.S. policy landscape, according to a document detailing the proposed work by his charitable group, the Wyss Foundation.

Yep.....The Swiss billionaire operates by funneling money through his nonprofits to other liberal groups, many of which work on election activities such as get out the vote efforts.

He also donated and affiliated with the Pelosi-aligned House Majority PAC. So he’s got his fingers everywhere within the Demorat Party candidates or their Pacs.

National Redistricting Action Fund, a partisan lobbying group helmed by former attorney general Eric Holder, goes after the power billionaires wield through anonymous “dark money” contributions…

The push from the redistricting group comes days after Illinois’s Democratic governor, J.B. Pritzker, reversed his support for nonpartisan redistricting and got behind a Democratic gerrymandering plan.

Boy am I glad some of my family didn’t have gold teeth in the first half of the 20th Century!

Clinton Foundation is tied to everything, including to everything Russia, China, Iran, and globalist.
