Probe into whether Democrats use ActBlue platform to cheat at fundraising expands to 19 states
just the news ^ | 10/8/24 | By Natalia Mittelstadt and John Solomon

A sprawling investigation into the online fundraising platform ActBlue has expanded into 19 states, as attorneys general across the country press the company on its security practices and whether Democrats might be using the platform to cheat on election donations.

An investigation that began with a few states and a House committee has now spread across nearly half the country as chief state investigators are endeavoring to determine whether Democrats have used the ActBlue to launder foreign money or craft donations in people’s names without their permission, a practice known as "straw donations."

In a letter sent last week to ActBlue CEO and President Regina Wallace-Jones, the state attorneys general highlighted potential security issues with the online fundraising platform that could be allowing donations made in people’s names who didn’t donate.

James O'Keefe exposed the ActBlue scam a couple years ago. State AGs are just NOW asking questions. I suspect that other than a couple strongly worded letters any investigations will quickly go nowhere.

Let’s be honest, there is probably no activity in which the dems are involved that is entirely legal.

Democrats cheat at everything. It is the only way they have managed to sustain themselves as an ongoing political party.

Well, on the brightside, the money they were able to snag illegally probably wasn’t actually spent on elections. It probably just went right into their pocket. So it’s OK.

Republican politicians have kids who would like to get into college you know. There are a lot of ways for the government mafia to mess up even an honest person’s life.

And if they did, will they be prosecuted? Don’t be silly you silly goose.

I’m not sure Democrats would cheat.

Especially at elections, they love and respect Democracy. It’s even in their name.

“”Whether democRATS cheat””??????

Next thing you know, they will form, fund a “study” about the relationship between wind and successful kite flying.

I remember Rush talking about a “study” funded by the government (taxpayers). The main research was to examine, determine the mating habits (sex, for those of y in Rio Linda) of college students. After Rush finished laughing, he announced that he would perform the study for half of the amount.

When was the Democrat pac “ActBlue” first accused of knowingly accepting illegal foreign contributions?

ChatGPT said:

ChatGPT

ActBlue was first accused of knowingly accepting illegal foreign contributions in 2019. Concerns were raised about the potential for foreign entities to influence U.S. elections through donations, leading to scrutiny of the platform’s practices and compliance with campaign finance laws.

I just finished listening to John Solomon, and he had Rep. Bryan Steil on, who is heading up the investigation. I don’t know him well, and what I have read is not completely encouraging, but he said a few things that reinforced what I already know:

One, Act Blue is not cooperating.

Second, up until just recently (days or weeks) Act Blue did not require the security code on the back of the credit card from people making donations, which is a red flag.

That I knew.

What I didn’t know is that Democrats opposed legislation to REQUIRE that code for political donations. You don’t have to be Einstein to interpret what that means.

The Democrat Party is being absolutely deluged with dark money. Laundered money.

How ActBlue Democrats put your tax dollars in politicians’ campaign pockets.


Reference: FEC data gathered by truthteller @OKeefeMedia linked one Democrat donor’s name to a conspicuous “830 donations” to “ActBlue.” The Democrat monitors her bank statements, so she knew what she had actually donated, and was outraged, seeing her name falsified by ActBlue on federal documents.


Democrat ActBlue pulls off massive fraudulent donations:
<><>they collude w/ politicians to setup money laundries
<><>then Biden Lends Billions in “Climate Funds” Before Election
<><>Biden DHS gives Millions of tax dollars to “Sanctuary Cities,”
<><>Haiti gets billions in USAID
<><>Biden hands billions of tax dollars to Zelensky
<><>Biden-Harris give well over $1 billion in federal benefits to Haitian migrants
<><>a percentage of all that “do-good” federal money is deposited offshore
<><>crooked legerdemain manipulates the federal money into the ActBlue data base,
<><>they then falsify federal documents,
<><>Actblue lists the money as having been “donated” by eligible donors,
<><>ActBlue does this without the knowledge or consent of the listed donors.

They’ll find there was “no intent” to commit a crime...like clear laundering of money.

Democrats cheat at everything.


Democrat politicians form criminal gangs - the Clinton crime family, the Grifting 0bamas, the Biden crime family, Pelosi crime family, etc.
