It turns out Republicans who worried about foreign money making it’s way into Democrats’ election coffers during the 2024 election weren’t just being paranoid after all. Remember when you were a conspiracy theorist for simply being concerned that ActBlue was playing it a little too loose with the regulations? It turns out there was reason to worry. James O’Keefe has long been interested in the obvious discrepancies that FEC data seems to hint at. Check out his video from yesterday where he shows an example of how the “money laundering” process works in order to get around federal election laws. This isn’t news to us—we’ve been investigating ActBlue fraud for years. Illegal donations threaten election integrity. The work to expose the truth continues… https://t.co/slcpfROnUA pic.twitter.com/49gWup4Em0 — James O’Keefe (@JamesOKeefeIII) December 11, 2024 As O’Keefe showed, there is ample opportunity for abuse, and plenty of reasons to suspect that unscrupulous individuals are injecting corruption into our elections through organizations like ActBlue. But we don’t have to suspect; we know without a doubt it has been happening. ELECTION INTEGRITY: ActBlue admitted to Congress that prior to September 9th it did not reject contributions to Democrats that were made on foreign prepaid/gift cards. The question remains – how much was raised from foreign and nefarious sources and who did it go to. pic.twitter.com/kv1memHM1M — @amuse (@amuse) December 11, 2024 ActBlue is the primary method used by the Democratic party to take in donations. It has rightfully been under examination for alleged fraud and irregularities in the manner in which it accepts those donations — particularly from foreign sources. In October, the House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil issued subpoenas to ActBlue in order to investigate documents and to verify that the policies were being adhered to, according to the Washington Examiner: House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI) are seeking information from fraud detection company Sift over its work with ActBlue as the Democratic fundraising platform faces questions over possibly fraudulent donations. ActBlue, the main source used by Democrats and aligned groups for taking political donations, has been under scrutiny over alleged fraud and irregularities with donations made on the platform. In October, Steil issued a subpoena to ActBlue for documents related to their donor verification policies, and on Monday, the two committee chairmen sent a letter to the company, which provides ActBlue’s “fraud detection and prevention services,” for information and documents about its work with ActBlue. Jordan and Steil sent a letter to Sift CEO Kris Nagel with “urgent concerns regarding potential illicit election funding by foreign actors.” They alleged, based on reports, that ActBlue “maintained poor anti-fraud practices that have allowed bad actors to make fraudulent political donations, including from foreign sources.” “Fraudulent political donations corrupt American elections and could amount to interstate criminal conduct. Because Sift has provided ‘fraud detection and prevention services’ for ActBlue, we write to request your cooperation with our oversight,” said the letter. The committee chairmen request all documents and communications from Jan. 1, 2020, to present relating to “Sift’s efforts to deter fraudulent transactions on ActBlue,” “potentially fraudulent transactions on ActBlue,” along with the use of CVVs, debit cards, gift card, and prepaid cards on ActBlue. The letter also requests documents and communications between law enforcement over “potentially fraudulent transactions” on the platform, as well as communications and documents about the “potential use of ActBlue by foreign nationals, sanctioned individuals or entities, or sanctioned adjacent persons or entities to make illegal political contributions.” The pair said the alleged vulnerabilities in ActBlue’s fraud detection services may have been exploited by adversarial countries, including China, Russia, Iran, and Venezuela. “It appears that ActBlue’s ‘fraud detection and prevention services’ likely failed to stop fraudulent transactions from occurring on the platform. The potential that these bad actors may have exploited lax security measures provided to ActBlue by Sift forces the Committees to examine the potential criminal and national security ramifications,” the letter said. Their suspicions were correct. As the House Admin Committee and the House Judiciary Committee looked into the records, they found what had been suspected. Foreign money in the form of gift cards had been accepted by ActBlue until less than two months before Election Day. BREAKING: ActBlue was accepting foreign gift cards until September. This is ILLEGAL. The @HouseAdmin Committee will continue this important investigation into ActBlue next Congress. Our work here is just getting started. https://t.co/ffDc5I7j4H — Speaker Mike Johnson (@SpeakerJohnson) December 11, 2024 And now the question is how much money made its way into Democratic campaign funds from foreign players who have no business or legal right to inject their interference into American elections. Rep. James Comer, who sits as Chair of the House Oversight Committee, went on Just The News explaining just how damaging this information is for those who engaged in illegal laundering of foreign money in the recent American elections. You can read the 3 page letter sent by Bryan Steil and Jim Jordan and their respective Committees, here. ActBlue has admitted to Congress that it didn’t block the foreign donations until recently, leaving open the possibility that any number of American adversaries could have injected funds into the 2024 election as late as September, according to a report in Just The News. ActBlue, the massive online fund-raising platform for liberal causes, has informed Congress it did not automatically block donations made with foreign-bought gift cards until recently, a potentially significant revelation in an ongoing investigation into whether China, Russia, Iran or Venezuela routed illicit money to Democrat candidates. House Administratrion Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., whose panel oversees election integrity, told Just the News on Tuesday that ActBlue turned over documents under subpoena showing a major change in September to its donor verification policies designed to protect against illicit money flowing into political campaigns. Steil disclosed earlier this fall that his committee is investigating whether four foreign powers — China, Russia, Venezuela and Iran — used ActBlue to route illicit foreign money into Democrat coffers. In addition, a Wisconsin Republican strategist filed a lawsuit in October alleging his email identity was misused to make Democrat and liberal donations he did not authorize or pay for. The judge in the case recently approved a subpoena compelling ActBlue to disclose certain evidence in the case. Steil said while getting to the bottom of any foreign funds that flowed through ActBlue is imperative, he also is focused on enduring new legislation closes any potential loopholes that allowed bad actors to cheat on political fund-raising. There is also the possibility that ActBlue didn’t shut down the loophole in its automatic denial function when it comes to accepting foreign funds. Check out this post by Parker Thayer where he highlights that he actually donated using a prepaid gift card in November — a month after ActBlue stated it shut down the loophole! In response to a subpoena, ActBlue apparently told Congress that they stopped accepting donations made by prepaid gift-cards in September 2024. That CAN’T be true! You’ll see below that I donated using a pre-paid gift card bought with cash in November Did @actblue lie? https://t.co/DGl4Qfppet pic.twitter.com/sdlJVGYXfC — Parker Thayer (@ParkerThayer) December 11, 2024 Step 2: Donate ActBlue requires an email, address, name, occupation, and employer. Sounds secure? Nope. All of this data (minus the email) is easily accessible for millions of people on the public FEC database. It’s trivially easy to copy it manually or with a bot. — Parker Thayer (@ParkerThayer) October 24, 2024 Though there are calls for accountability — even arrests, as there should be — it remains to be seen what, if any, true repercussions come of these revelations. I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for the current Congress to get anything done besides a few more enraged posts and maybe another letter or two sent. But I also wouldn’t expect accountability to go completely unfulfilled once President Trump’s new team gets into place after the inauguration. There are two primary pillars that won President Trump re-election; a return to the rule of law, and an end of corruption — particularly in the realm of financial corruption. I don’t expect President Trump to disappoint us on either point.

President Biden commuted 1,500 jail sentences and pardoned 39 others Thursday, the biggest single-day act of clemency in modern American history. US President Joe Biden has commuted the sentences of nearly 1,500 people and pardoned dozens of others, in the largest single-day act of clemency in American history. pic.twitter.com/uDeSVi7KX1— Channel 4 News (@Channel4News) December 12, 2024 From Fox News: President Biden has commuted jail sentences for nearly 1,500 people and granted 39 pardons, marking the largest single-day act of clemency in modern history, the White House announced Thursday morning. Sentences were commuted for inmates placed on home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic and who “have successfully reintegrated into their families and communities,” according to the announcement. The 39 individuals pardoned were convicted of non-violent crimes, the White House said. The White House did not, however, immediately release specific names of those receiving pardons and sentence commutations. “The President has issued more sentence commutations at this point in his presidency than any of his recent predecessors at the same point in their first terms,” White House officials said in a statement. Biden hinted that he plans to make more pardons and clemencies before he leaves office.
