Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) despatched off a letter to the Federal Election Fee (FEC) demanding an investigation into the tons of of 1000’s of small donations including as much as hundreds of thousands of {dollars} given to Democratic fundraising large ActBlue prior to now two elections.
As The Gateway Pundit first reported late final yr on the 1000’s of donation mules donating to Democrat Raphael Warnock from throughout the nation.
Joe Hoft revealed a outstanding report on the hundreds of thousands of {dollars} going to ActBlue by ‘donation mules’ in a latest article.
In 2020 hundreds of thousands have been reportedly donated to BLM after George Floyd was killed. On the similar time, 20+ police have been killed and American cities suffered practically $2 billion in document damages following the George Floyd riots.
The Gateway Pundit was the primary to report that ActBlue was elevating cash utilizing BLM as its entrance group. ActBlue is the Democrats’ funding equipment. We all know this from our early reporting and from the truth that BLM later admitted this. In 2022 Black Lives Matter introduced in February 2022 that the group was deactivating its fundraising pages on ActBlue. This was after the Washington Examiner uncovered that BLM was nonetheless accepting donations on the Democratic platform regardless of claiming it had stopped amid questions on its funds.
The Each day Caller confirmed that ActBlue was utilizing BLM to lift cash. BLM is just not a acknowledged non-profit group and nonprofit group (Thousand Currents) mentioned it offers ‘fiduciary oversight, monetary administration, and different administrative companies’ to BLM.
Candice Owen reported on the BLM – ActBlue relationship and was focused by a bogus fact-checker. Tom Fitton from Judicial Watch jumped in and acknowledged that their findings confirmed what TGP and Candice Owen reported:
Transparency? So if you wish to make a tax-deductible charitable donation on to Black Lives Matter, you possibly can’t. You donate to Act Blue Charities. Act Blue Charities sends this cash, allegedly, to a different charity, Thousand Currents, which runs BLM as a “fiscal sponsorship.”

‘Thousand Currents’ was allegedly a non-profit group and Susan Rosenberg served on its Board. Susan Rosenberg was a member of the Climate Underground terrorist group, which included Obama buddy Invoice Ayers. President Invoice Clinton gave her a pardon on his final day in workplace.
So in abstract contributions to BLM have been funneled by way of ActBlue, the most important useful resource for Democrat donations, after which funneled to not less than one group run by a member of a home terrorist group.
In early 2020 FOX Information reported that half of all donations to ActBlue in 2019 got here from “untraceable, unemployed donors.”

These 4.7 million donations totaled $346 million ActBlue raised and despatched to liberal causes.”
Motion Fund’s President John Pudner had this to say relating to the discovering:
“It’s laborious to imagine that at a time when the U.S. unemployment charge was lower than 4 p.c, that unemployed individuals had $346 million {dollars} to ship to ActBlue for liberal causes,” Pudner mentioned, including that “4.7 million donations from individuals with out a job … raised severe issues.”
Shortly after the report in FOX Information, TGP reported that in keeping with Actual Clear Politics, ActBlue can’t verify if donations to its web site are US or international donations:

“It took distributors just a few hours to alter their setup to permit the banks to confirm if donations have been actually from People,” Pudner added. “Sadly, as issues turned harshly partisan after Trump’s election, ActBlue doubled down and moved increasingly candidates onto an unverified system at a time when intelligence officers are warning that international pursuits need to affect who wins our elections. TBAF asks ActBlue to affix the tons of who’ve stopped utilizing this technique.”
TGP additionally reported that ActBlue Texas was caught paying out small sums to tons of of people for unknown functions.
Per a evaluation of ActBlue Texas disbursements by way of the web site TransparencyUSA.org, there are tons of of people being paid by ActBlue Texas for comparable small quantities (e.g. $300 or $250) who aren’t candidates working for workplace. In complete, ActBlue Texas has paid out $9.6 million in disbursements. We don’t know who most these individuals are.
