House investigating whether foreign money flowing into Democrat coffers

The chairman of the powerful House Administration Committee says his investigation into one of the Democrats' most successful political action committees has pivoted to whether foreigners may be laundering money into the 2024 election.

Rep. Bryan Steil, W-Wis., said his committee has identified individuals who claim they did not make the donations attributed to them in Federal Election Commission (FEC) reports filed by ActBlue. His committee, which oversees election integrity issues, has “activated a full investigation.”

“My concern is that individuals are outside the jurisdiction in the United States who may be engaged in this,” Steil told the "Just the News, No Noise" television show.

“We need to make sure that we're avoiding, in particular, foreign interference in American elections in a period of time when the Biden administration and radical Democrats are happy to do the opposite,” he added.

What is still frustrating is that GOP voters largely refuse to hold the people they elect to any standards of accountability or results. The GOP pols know this and therefore have little incentive to be responsive to the voters.

Of course it is. Obama was taking in so many foreign credit card donations of $5-$10 it wasn’t funny. From all over the world - Never checked or audited by the FEC. Same thing likely happening here with Harris.

This article says it happened under Bill Clinton (money from China). It also mentions the reoccurring donations that people get roped into. WinRed is guilty of that too.

Late last week, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that his investigation into ActBlue has resulted in a change: the Democrat-affiliated PAC now requires CVV codes as a security measure when people make donations.

While that would help with credit card fraud, I’m not seeing how that helps with rapid donations being made in someone else’s name.

Didn’t O’Keefe put out video of this in 2021?

This has been going on since ‘93.
Even a sternly worded memo isn’t going to help.
