The far-left New York Times is seriously concerned about ActBlue’s leadership. The leadership is wittingly and blindly accepting money from foreign sources to fund Democrat candidates.
That could be interpreted as treasonous, certainly a mess of felonies. Foreigners buying our elections is very serious.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer sent a criminal referral on Act Blue months ago, but Pam Blondi didn’t act on it insofar as we know.
If the New York Times is discussing it, it must be bad. They must be very worried it will reflect back on their favorite Political candidates.
Eric Holder’s the Mover and Shaker
Eric Holder’s law firm, Covington & Burling, is the guilty party. The firm serves as the primary legal mechanism for the ActBlue/DNC machinery. Would Holder be that brazen? Yes.
He arranged for guns to be sold to cartels and not traced in the “gunwalking scandal.”
The sudden concern could be tied to the new DOJ attorney general coming in. No more Pam Blondi, who arrests no one. Nice lady, but no action.
The NY Times:
In early 2025, a law firm working for ActBlue, the Democratic fund-raising behemoth, delivered the organization a startling warning.
The firm concluded that ActBlue’s chief executive had given a potentially misleading response to congressional Republican investigators in a 2023 letter explaining how the organization vetted donations to ensure that they were not illegally coming from foreign citizens.
The letter from the chief executive, Regina Wallace-Jones, said ActBlue carried out “multilayered” screenings of contributions that helped “root out” those from overseas. In fact, the law firm found, some of the steps she had described were not always followed.
“This presents a substantial risk for ActBlue,” the law firm, Covington & Burling, wrote in one of two memos expressing legal concerns. One memo raised the specter of a criminal investigation if prosecutors believed that ActBlue had tried to conceal facts about its efforts to prevent foreign contributions.
Federal election law prohibits foreign citizens or people who are not permanent residents from donating directly to federal candidates or political action committees. Lying to or obstructing Congress is a crime.
The memos instigated a meltdown at the highest levels of ActBlue, one of the Democratic Party’s most vital financial organs.
Hopefully, we will see some competence from the DoJ before Democrats seize power and the corrupt escape accountability.
