For the first time, a Wisconsin court has approved a subpoena to the massive Democrat fund-raising platform ActBlue, saying it owes an explanation to a Republican whose email identity was used to make liberal donations he did not authorize.
“Something is not right,” Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Brad D. Schimel declared as he approved a limited demand for documents and opened a new front into a widening fund-raising probe begun earlier this year by Congress and 19 attorneys general.
Schimel rejected ActBlue’s arguments that it was onerous to require it to comply a subpoena for third-party donations it processed on its platform. The judge permitted GOP consultant Mark Block and his lawyers from America First Policy Institute to conduct discovery to determine if fraud was involved in the use of his identity to make dozens of Democrat donations on his old email address.
“I get the argument that this is an assumption on plaintiff's part that the donations are fraudulent,” the judge stated in a hearing Nov. 21. “There may be an element of fraud or maybe it is innocent. Plaintiff has set forth enough in their complaint and in support of their subpoena to demonstrate that there may be something here.”

The judge also noted that Block’s lawyers had submitted evidence from investigators of other people who are listed as giving donations to ActBlue who claim they did not make such contributions and questioned why the fundraising platform wouldn’t want to get to the bottom of the concerns.
“I don't get why there is -- why that is causing such substantial resistance to sharing it,” Schimel said of the data being sought by Block.

My apologies for the screw-up.
Didn’t see your earlier one, so appreciate this posting. Interesting and encouraging.
THANK YOU FOR REPOSTING! This is an EXTREMELY important topic to cover!
I would love to see an analysis of ActBlue’s receipt of donations for the Black Lives matters scam.
“I don’t get why there is — why that is causing such substantial resistance to sharing it, . . .”
I checked the online database when this issue was posted awhile back. And I found that I gave money to liberal candidates three times THAT I DID NOT GIVE. They absolutely laundered money through my name. I would add my name to a joint lawsuit in a heartbeat!
Criminals are gonna criminal.
Turn Kash Patel loose to examine it.
BTTT
I think Americans are beginning to realize just how evil the left is and that warms my heart.
More pardons please, joe. Pardon all democrats past and future!
Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could sue political and tax-exempt organizations for our money back?
We wouldn’t need receipts since the database already acknowledges payment!
INB4 “Oh, it was a mistake. We’ve corrected our records and it won’t happen again” is good enough for the judge, and the case is dropped.
A rare honest judge. No wonder he was home schooled.
Democrats aka Demoncrats aka members of Satan’s Army
Thank you for posting. I look forward to the DOJ and FBI joining in on this state investigations shortly after January 26, 2025.
Please pass the popcorn. It should be fun to see who all the foreign individuals and foreign countries were that tried to fund Democratic Party election campaigns.
Yep!
