Core Democratic groups are preparing to be targeted by the Trump administration

NEW YORK (AP) — As President Donald Trump pushes the historical boundaries of executive power, some of the Democratic Party’s core political institutions are preparing for the possibility that the federal government may soon launch criminal investigations against them.

The Democrats’ dominant national fundraising platform, ActBlue, and the party’s largest protest group, Indivisible, are working with their attorneys for just such a scenario, according to officials within both organizations. Trump’s top political allies have suggested both groups should face prosecution.

Other Democratic allies are planning for Trump-backed legal crackdowns as well. Wary of antagonizing the president, most prefer to stay anonymous for now.

This year alone, Indivisible groups have hosted more than 1,000 protests covering every state in the nation. The group was a key organizer in the recent Hands Off! protests that attracted hundreds of thousands of people across the country.

Trump top adviser and billionaire Elon Musk has publicly condemned Indivisible as “criminals.”

Musk has also called on the FBI to investigate ActBlue, alleging that the Democratic Party’s main fundraising platform has skirted campaign finance laws and allowed foreign nationals to make illegal contributions to Democratic candidates.

Meanwhile, Democratic candidates are relying on ActBlue to fund their campaigns as never before.

Donors have given more than $400 million to Democratic candidates through ActBlue over the first three months of the year, the organization told the AP. The fundraising haul represents the most money raised in any first quarter in ActBlue’s two-decade history.

Well, as the saying goes, they have nothing to fear if they haven’t done anything wrong. So I’m sure it will be just fine.

No mention of the small-doner smurfing scandal which is at the root of money laundering allegations and besides Congress is being investigated by more than a few state attorney generals.

“billionaire Elon Musk”

Example 4,096,724,979 just this year of preceding “Elon Musk” with “billionaire” by the MSM.

....”as Trump pushes the historical boundaries of executive power”...
Didn’t President Auto-pen say that if there was going to be trouble among the populace that he had the F-16’s and the nukes? Didn’t Brandon forgive student debt despite the fact that the Supreme court said that he didn’t have the authority to do?

The AP is not a fact gathering group. The verbage they spew should be automatically disbelieved. Should be ostracized.

After what those Bass Turds did during the St. George Floyd riots and after, d@mn right they should be targeted.

Lawlessness for the sake of lawlessness and overthrow of our Nation cannot be tolerated.

The sign reads...

“Unelected Bureaucrat”
“Illegal Immigrant”

The government is staffed with millions of unelected bureaucrats. Many of them need to be fired.

Now all of a sudden liberals are opposed to illegal immigration. I agree...all illegal immigrants should be deported.

IMO, this article is further proof of the criminal collusion between the Democrat Party and the corrupt MSM.

Reading that, you’d have no idea that these groups are laundering money from billionaires and diverted tax-payer funds.

Core Democrat Groups. Would they perchance be those at the receiving end of the USAID money laundering pipeline? The multi-millionaires paying taxes on the basis of their five and low six figure salaries? The ones forming mobs to burn down businesses and neighborhoods, protecting the guilty and attacking the innocent? Those core groups?

I don't want them targeted. I want them destroyed.

As President Donald Trump pushes the historical boundaries of executive power

We're seeing a lot of this lately. It's not finally uprooting and bringing an end to the multi-trillion a year grift machine exercised by the globalist usurpers justified by a cynical moral mission. It's pushing boundaries.

Act blue is an international money laundering operation.
It needs to be exposed and destroyed.

We need to start regularly referring to the AP as the Associated Propagandists. We should never legitimize them or act like they are a neutral news organization instead of a manipulative partisan organization.
