Good day all. The other day I posted a blog entry on ActBlue<\/a> and how most of it\u2019s senior management and legal officers had suddenly bolted from the organization. For years there have been stories that ActBlue was basically nothing more then a money laundering system for the Democrat party.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Since the Republicans took the house in 2022, they have been digging into all the Democrat corruption, at least trying to do so. Of course, the Biden maladministration threw up roadblocks. In many cases flat out refusing to provide data to the oversight committees. (They obviously didn\u2019t really think that President Trump would get back in and get control, however tenuous of Congress)<\/p>\n

Now the oversight committees are getting buried with data that they couldn\u2019t get their hands on before. What they are finding, especially with regards to ActBlue, has led some to contact Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel and ask that they open an investigation. Here are the details on this from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., has sent a letter to the Federal Bu<\/a><\/b>*<\/b>reau of Investigation<\/b><\/a> (FBI) calling for an investigation into ActBlue, the main fundraising platform for the Democratic Party, over concerns the platform had “been used to skirt the integrity of federal campaign finance laws.” <\/b><\/p>\n

Skirting the law? How does flat out ignoring it strike you?<\/p>\n

“In 2024, President Biden\u2019s Treasury Department found hundreds of suspicious transactions with ActBlue reported by banks,” Biggs said in his letter to FBI Director Kash Patel on Thursday.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

These are what are known as Suspicious Activity Reports. Banks and other financial institutions have to file these if certain events occur. When they were looking into the Biden Crime Family\u2019s many shell companies and how money was moved around, it was the SAR\u2019s that allowed the to follow the bribe money to \u201cThe Big Guy.\u201d<\/p>\n

“The U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and the Committee on House Administration have been investigating these allegations of misconduct. But the previous Administration has stalled access to the necessary documents. This week, Oversight Chairman Comer and Administration Chairman Stiles have renewed their request with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.” <\/b><\/p>\n

The issue previously was Janet Yellen. Apparently, she was providing these reports on ActBlue, but when the Oversight Committee started to actually find things, she shut down any further cooperation.<\/p>\n

The letter cited\u00a0<\/b>Republican concerns<\/b><\/u><\/a> that ActBlue\u2019s verification policies could potentially allow foreign actors in countries like China, Venezuela and Russia to influence elections with straw donations.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

I can see China for sure since they already own a fair chunk of the Democrat Party. Russia? Not so much since they\u2019re rather hard up for cash at the moment. I can\u2019t see Venezuela spending money since they\u2019re broker than Russia. Not the Drug Cartels? They might have spent a few million to keep the border open.<\/p>\n

Biggs also pointed out in his letter that nineteen state attorneys general across the country have made inquiries into ActBlue over a variety of allegations, including fraud, money laundering, fraudulent and counterfeit use of credit and debit cards, and patterns of contributions that are suspicious. <\/b><\/p>\n

The State AG\u2019s have been doing what they could, but they were limited to looking into anything that affected their state elections. They could coordinate with each other to some extent, but the very nature of what ActBlue is alleged to have been doing needs to be looked into on the Federal level.<\/p>\n

“It must be emphasized that these allegations, were they to prove true, would indicate a serious threat to the integrity of our elections, besides the victimization of American citizens,” Biggs wrote to Patel. “The gravity of the allegations and their implications demand a thorough and vigorous investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. We strongly urge an inquiry into ActBlue.” <\/b><\/p>\n

I have little doubt that Kash Patel would be more then happy to initiate a preliminary investigation. This would be along the lines of \u201cIs there actually a fire behind all this smoke?\u201d type of investigation. This was exactly what the FBI was envisioned to do and actually used to do once upon a time. However, the main problem is who can you truest to actually do the work in the FBI?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“The allegations against ActBlue are alarming and, if true, threaten the integrity of our Republic,” Biggs told Fox News Digital. “I\u2019m thankful for the work Director Patel is doing to restore our justice system, and I look forward to working with him to uncover the truth about ActBlue.” <\/b><\/p>\n

ActBlue, what\u2019s left of the management anyway, is, of course, claiming it\u2019s all a political witch hunt and there is nothing to this. The problem is all of the little things that have been found so far. It\u2019s making a lot of people go \u201cHmmm, this is very interesting.\u201d The problem has been the Democrats doing what Democrats always do. Protecting the Party and their revenue streams.<\/p>\n

In a press release earlier this week when a letter to the Treasury Department was sent, the House Oversight Committee said the Biden administration “intentionally stonewalled” its work looking into ActBlue. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I saw something about this in the American Spectator<\/a> this morning:<\/p>\n

Before the recent election, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability asked then-Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to turn over all Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) relating to ActBlue \u2014 not much happened. An SAR is a document that banks file with the Treasury Department pursuant to potentially fraudulent or illicit financial activity. Yellen stalled, presumably in the hope that the Democrats would win the House back in November and halt the investigation. That obviously didn\u2019t happen and the new Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, is of course cooperating with the committee.<\/b><\/p>\n

As I recall, Yellen did not receive one of the Blanket pardons issued by Dementia Joe Biden\u2019s infamous Autopen. Depending on what is found, she might end up in front of a Congressional committee, or, potentially, a Federal Grand Jury. Some of the things that the State AG\u2019s and the Oversight committee found was that ActBlue did not have the CVV feature enabled to verify credit card transactions.<\/p>\n

“Until recently, ActBlue had not implemented standard procedures to guard against identity theft and fraud, such as by requiring a Card Verification Value (CVV) to process online transactions.\u00a0The organization is also the subject of several state-level investigations stemming from allegedly fraudulent contributions made via the platform without the reported contributors\u2019 awareness \u2014 serious allegations that, if proven true, would violate federal law.” <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That CVV check is the number on the back of the credit card. When you do an online transaction, it will ask you for the 3 digit, (Or more with some other cards), code. If it\u2019s entered wrong or not at all, the transaction fails out. If I recall correctly, the Obama campaigns were also dinged for not using the CVV checks. Besides validating the card, it also shows where the card is. Since it\u2019s illegal for foreign entities to donate to American elections, a CVV check, properly configured would have blocked them.<\/p>\n

During the last election, Kamala Harris raised, and basically set fire to almost $1 billion dollars. How she raised so much in so short an amount of time has been something a lot of people, have wondered including the New York Post<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

ActBlue helped contribute nearly $2 billion in the 2023-24 campaign to Democratic candidates and causes \u2014 with\u00a0$46.7 million<\/a>\u00a0channeled directly to Vice President Kamala Harris\u2019 campaign within hours of her succeeding Biden as the nominee. <\/b>In total, it\u2019s helped raise more than $16 billion since 2004. <\/b><\/p>\n

That is a lot of money, especially since ActBlue has claimed they came form millions of small donors. This is where the SAR Reports come into play. People went out to talk to some of these donors, some of whom had donated almost 6 figures. None of them had any idea about this and none of them could have afforded to make lavish donations like this in the first place.<\/p>\n

Until last year, the platform did not require CVVs for online transactions with debit cards, credit cards or prepaid gift cards \u2014 and some donors made contributions well beyond their means or to the opposite party from the one they usually back, the House GOP probe found. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The probe also showed that, in some instances, hundreds of $2.50 donations to ActBlue have come from the same individual. <\/b><\/p>\n

As I recall, a lot of those small donations happened within minutes of each other. It would have been physically impossible for the \u201cDonors\u201d to have done this even if they had the money to do so.<\/p>\n

A Wisconsin Republican strategist also alleged last year in an explosive racketeering lawsuit<\/a> against ActBlue that it stole his identity to make 385 fraudulent contributions to liberal groups \u2014 including Harris\u2019 super PAC. <\/b><\/p>\n

Mark Block, who served as chief of staff to 2012 GOP presidential hopeful Herman Cain, claimed in the suit that $884.38 was given in his name between May and October 2024, with the individual donations falling under $200 thus circumventing any filing with the Federal Election Commission. <\/b><\/p>\n

I have a vague memory of reading about this. If I recall correctly, this is about when the GOP in the House started to look into ActBlue\u2019s fundraising techniques. I can\u2019t be certain, but that may have been when ActBlue\u2019s interesting fundraising practices started gaining attention from conservative groups. Returning to the Fox News story<\/a>, Darell Issa is also asking for an investigation into ActBlue:<\/p>\n

In a letter sent<\/a> by GOP Rep. Darrell Issa of California to the Treasury Department this week, first reported by the Free Press, Issa asked the Trump administration to investigate “credible allegations” that ActBlue has violated federal law by allowing terror-linked groups to use its platform. <\/b><\/p>\n

Now this is something I hadn\u2019t heard about. If ActBlue was playing footsie with terrorists, they have crossed the line from potential \u201cWhite Coller\u201d crimes to flat out treason.<\/p>\n

“Despite the detailed reporting and the reasonable suspicion that our nation\u2019s laws had been violated, the Biden-Harris Treasury Department refused to substantively address these explosive revelations,” Issa wrote. <\/b><\/p>\n

Does this really surprise you Representative Issa? We are talking about the most corrupt administration in the last century and potentially in American history here.<\/p>\n

“The undeniable and continued collaboration between ActBlue Charities and terror-tied entities amounts to the enabling of terrorism and may also constitute money-laundering crimes,” Issa added. <\/b><\/p>\n

“In addition, the flagrant inability of progressive groups to address the appearance of skirting a full range of our laws \u2014 or call out the evils of Hamas and the BDS movement \u2014 raises critical questions if the activities and coalition building of ActBlue and ActBlue Charities are in reality part of a wider commitment to financing and facilitating attacks on Israel and Jewish people in America and around the globe.” <\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure if Israel was aware of ActBlue actively aiding and abetting Hamas, or if they were and hadn\u2019t yet decided how to deal with it yet. ActBlue is highly protected, or was, by the Democrat party and the Progressive elites. However, the Hamas attack into Israel on October 7th<\/sup> started causing fissures within the Democrats. A lot of the donors are Jewish and were horrified at what happened and enraged at the response by those they had supported. It\u2019s possible that Israel is doing things a bit more subtly and not swapping out cellphones and pagers belonging to ActBlue employees.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Recently there have been arson attacks against Tesla dealerships. One leftard moron has been caught when he managed to set himself on fire by accident. However, others haven\u2019t been caught yet. The new DoJ is looking into the arson attacks and is calling it domestic terrorism. (Normally I am opposed to using this, however, the attacks are politically motivated and thus, fit the definition) Elon Musk is blaming this on ActBlue.<\/p>\n

ActBlue also drew the ire<\/a> of Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk in a Sunday morning post on X, where he blamed ActBlue-funded groups for the recent protests at Tesla dealerships from activists opposed to his work with the Trump administration.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

“An investigation has found 5 ActBlue-funded groups responsible for Tesla \u2018protests\u2019: Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project and Democratic Socialists of America,” Musk wrote. <\/b><\/p>\n

Musk then named five ActBlue funders he believed were responsible for funding the protests, including liberal mega-donor George Soros.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

The left is actively pushing for civil war again and as usual, not comprehending what would happen. What is apparently happening, and I have little doubt that Elon Musk\u2019s sources are accurate regarding the funding sources for these thugs, is people are not putting up with it any longer. In the mean time, it looks like ActBlue is about to get a nice, deep anal exam with a barbed wire wrapped baseball bat.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If such a criminal investigation occurs, and the DoJ finds enough to not just prosecute, but get convictions of ActBlue workers, (Lower level and management, current and former), it will send shock waves through the Democrat Party. If they \u201cFollow the money\u201d and confirm that certain wealthy and well known in progressive liberal donors along with people in the Democrat Party proper were involved in all the activities, and get a few of them convicted as well, it\u2019s going to be the end of the Democrat Party as it currently exists.<\/p>\n
