ActBlue is to the Democrat party fundraising machine as WinRed is to the Republican side of the equation.
In a rather stunning outline by the New York Times [SEE HERE] the progressive outlet is reporting of serious concerns within the leadership of ActBlue related to their willfully blind reception of foreign sources of money to fund Democrat candidates.
The remarkable aspect is not just that ActBlue takes foreign funds, but rather the New York Times revealing internal legal discussions about it. According to the Times reporting, the Eric Holder law firm Covington & Burling, the primary legal mechanism for the ActBlue/DNC machinery, lies at the heart of the matter.
(NYT) […] 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. (source)
To really appreciate the scheme that seems to be outlined by the internal documents, it is worth remembering that James O’Keefe previously did some boots on the ground research into ActBlue [SEE HERE – 2023] and found that multiple, perhaps thousands, of “donor” names and addresses were assigned to contributions the donors said they never made.
Put the two issues together and it appears that ActBlue may have been laundering foreign money into the DNC by using donor identities to cover the funding mechanism. Foreign funds, broken up into separate, smaller components and then attributed to Smurf donor identities.
As many surmised at the time, the donor IDs would be useful – only to launder the funds. That would explain why thousands of donors denied making contributions, yet FEC reports filed by ActBlue officials assign, falsely, their identity to donations.
Shortly before the 2024 federal election, on October 24th, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton also submitted a criminal referral to the DOJ following his own investigation of this activity [SEE HERE].
TEXAS – Attorney General Ken Paxton made a criminal referral to the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) detailing the results of an investigation that revealed how suspicious actors seemingly use ActBlue’s political fundraising platform to make illegal straw donations. – SOURCE
Put the New York Times story together with the James O’Keefe investigation, and then overlay the Texas AG investigation and criminal referral, and there’s not just smoke -or fire- there’s an inferno ablaze.
[…] ActBlue is now all but declaring war on its own past lawyers, an extraordinary turn of events at a moment when President Trump has already ordered a Justice Department investigation into the organization. Democrats are nervous that any additional upheaval at ActBlue could destabilize the party’s critical fund-raising apparatus ahead of the midterm elections.
All levels of Democratic candidates, from incumbent presidents to school board aspirants, use ActBlue to raise campaign money from online donors. The platform has processed nearly $19 billion in contributions since its founding in 2004, building a donor database with millions of credit card numbers that is unmatched in American politics. Nearly 23,000 candidates and groups used the site in 2025, ActBlue has said, raising almost $1.8 billion from 52 million contributions, some of which recur every month.
[…] “It can be alleged that ActBlue accepted and/or facilitated the acceptance of foreign-national contributions into American elections,” one memo states. “In addition, because ActBlue’s staff was aware that its system was not as robust as necessary, it could be alleged that these violations were ‘knowing and willful,’ a standard that both increases the penalties the F.E.C. might seek and gives the Justice Department jurisdiction for a potential criminal investigation.” (more)
It’s called, Money Laundering.
Eric Holder. Is anyone surprised?
No more than we were when James Riady Bundled chinese money for Hitlery.
Well, President Bill gave the Riadys a lot for their bucks, back in the day.
Clinton VASTLY paid the Riady family back by making the largest, most pure and cleanest coal in the US illegal to mine by calling it a national monument and forbidding any coal mining there FOREVER.
This made the Riady family richer because they own vast tracts of very clean coal deposits that the US now has to mine sin̈ce Clinton temoved the huge tracts in Utah from con̈sideration.
Right around this time (1996-1998) China someĥow gained the w88 nuclear design for miniature nuclear weapons (and gave the design to North Korea) so its no wonder there is a famous newspaper quote that “China really liked Pres. Clinton” and that was why China (and tĥe Riady’s) gave so much $$$$$ to Clintons 1996 reelection
His Law Firm, which he is a part of, he may have had nothing to do with this case, plus, the law firm warned them they were in peril for doing this, no law firm is going to rat out a client per se, unless its a murder or somthing, then maybe…..

democRats ARE Bolsheviks, “THIS” is a NWO-Cia COLOR REVOLUTION in Progre$$ … zzzzzzzzz Keep sleeping
“This article is based on internal legal memos, emails, resignation letters, Slack messages and interviews with current and former ActBlue employees.”
C’mon we’ve seen this movie before, ad nauseum. Create chaos, finger-point amongst all the parties that were knowingly and wilfully involved in the corruption until the issue is so muddy the appearance of corruption fades; the right will scream “nothings happening” and the left will scream whatever; R-politicians will preach ‘bad democrats’ and L-politicians will rage ‘Trump stealing muh democracy’; and the wrong-doing gets drowned out by the drama until the minds of the public are so saturated that they eagerly latch onto the next thing which is purposely injected into the news cycle to conclude the operation.
NYT is doing their part in this misdirection, while appearing to be unbiased and relentless in their pursuit of truth, being the champions that they are of righteousness and all that is good in America.
If the clever professionals at the DOJ can’t see thru the BS and find a way, any way, to prosecute obvious fraud, then this clown show will remain the pinnacle of American civics.
Obama and Holder are throwing the ActBlue Team under the bus to stay out of prison themselves.

Bingo.
Oh Bam Ah and his Wing Man started this voter fraud with his under $ 200 each donations from the ME using credit cards with no back card reference numbers attached to prevent tracking. Remember? Of course the GOPe played their part and did Nothing abut it.
So true, the very fact it’s published means they knew and also nothing will be done to correct it.
We see this everywhere and people ask “how can we be in so much debt”?
Trump is one man against an entrenched army of demons who have proliferated to the extent of being multi millionaires. Not just Congress but anyone who wishes to hang on the teet of government. Is there justice here on this earth, this season? Bible says yes, I’ll leave that one lie where it fell.
I cannot judge a man’s heart, (God alone) I can only verify his actions and weigh them against the truth. I have very little use for people. I long for my first love.
I often meditate on what mankind would be like if they could live for 900 years as written. Would circumstances dictate a wise life that found peace in humanity and not ego? Or would ego engulf him and evil prevail even more? The adversity being so small for most people who have no contact with the Holy Spirit allows a seared heart, incapable of understanding or true compassion. Mindless automatons, digging and filling for what?
Our cargo is without use except to shine our uselessness. Can you see humility from afar? Charity? It’s in the heart from God, not a shining idol of ego. A smile is worth more than a days wages to a distraught person, yet we horde respect like it’s ours we are loosing. Not so it’s ours we gain by giving. Ego of self is a liar, in God it verifies our life’s love, to all.
It is easy to see why the USA has so much debt. Imposition of the Federal Income tax convinced Congress they have an endless Pot o’ Gold; and the States to think of Federal grants as their Pot o’ Gold. This led to the expansion of the Federal government and in turn, State governments. Each House congresscritter “represents” 750,000 constituents, so effectively you and I are not represented.
We The Taxpayers need to demand repeal of the Federal Income tax and dismantling of the entire system of redistributing our coerced tax payments. Thomas Sowell assessed the “War on Poverty” as having benefited the poor very little, while creating thousands of middle-class government jobs. And since Congress has no “balanced budget” regulation, they spend whatever they please on social programs and of course to their own benefit.
States should tax their citizens and run their own social programs. Many do have balanced budget requirements; and they are small enough that Citizens can actually get in the faces of their State representatives and Governor.
Maybe a Federal legal action is looming and the friendliest at NYT are trying to get ahead of it?
Act Blue chief executive, Regina Wallace-Jones will appropriately “fall on the party sword” as any “good commie” would. The Repub Do”Just Us” will giver her an appropriate hand slap and Everyone will go to have a nice DC dinner & drinks.

And yet once again…..No arrests, No convictions, No jail time for the actors on stage. The show must go on!!!!!
Are you not entertained?!
No. Hopefully the next AG will be

My understanding is that WinRed has some similar problems and that is why there is no effort to go after ActBlue. The info that ActBlue is corrupt has been out there for over a year and yet no prosecutions….Why?
If you peel back far enough you’ll see that have the exact same core.
Your statement is directionallly correct. Kristi Noem, Ted Cruz, and others have drank from the same cup. If you want to know more, go to x and look up Peter Bernegger. He and his cohorts have mapped out the whole ‘Smurfing’ operation using fractal technology (i.e. doge) and can tell you down to the dime who is dirty. It is now just up to a AG that will prosecute.
I looked at his X account and it blew my mind. Our government has been nothing but corrupt for a long time. There’s no fixing it.
I remember when ACORN was found out to be corrupt and then split off into other entities to hide its crimes. If I see an Act Blue poster in my city again…..!$#&%***@##!!. I have read what they were doing and it stinks to high heaven. The only way the Dems can survive is doing treasonous money laundering and getting away with with it.
I wish ActRedWin was gone. It’s a data gathering scam as much as it is a fundraiser. Once your number is in their hands the proliferation of spamming your account never ends.
I no longer make donations or sign petitions as my data is immediately sold to anyone, including Democrat candidates. It’s taken me years to cut down the beggars to just a few now.
Doubt it
Last year I remember distinctly saying on the CTH that the fraud of Actblue was all teed up for Blondi to prosecute. Instead, we got “influencers” waving binders in the air of Epstein BS
My very first thought was: which D’s does the party want to throw under the bus? If the NYT is outing the malfeasance, there’s a strong motive behind it.
Mayor of New York
Which foreign natins are implecated in this scheme. I wouldn’t be suprised that Ukraine was one. All those taxpayer moneies for the war the Democrats promoted, very like was then being laundered back to the Democratic Party.
Heard an accusation of Israel funding at a Democrat town meeting last night
The Democrats replied she, “Speaks to lotsa different people.”

I accidentally found my name on one of those lists of donors, back during the “Vote for Change” election. They had my name, address, employer. And on the same page was a nurse who lived in my area, and she donated exactly the same amount as me. I think it was around $328.00 or something close. It was so blatant. The money went to a group called Act for America or something like that.
I knew I didn’t donate anything to anyone. Now I wonder if my name is still on the list.
You really shouldn’t give money to those people!
Ask for a refund.

Remember Cynthia McKinney (D-GA)?
Following the 9/11 attacks in 2001, former U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney wrote to Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal supporting his pledged $10 million donation to New York City, which Mayor Rudy Giuliani had rejected. McKinney criticized the rejection, later using the incident to highlight tensions in U.S. foreign policy.
The Context: After the September 11 attacks, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal offered a $10 million donation to New York City for relief efforts.
The Rejection: NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani rejected the donation after the prince suggested that the U.S. should re-examine its policies in the Middle East and its support for Israel.
McKinney’s Letter: McKinney, then a Democratic representative from Georgia, wrote to the prince, thanking him for the gesture and suggesting the funds could be used to support “black America” (i.e., Democrats).
Controversy: Her actions were heavily criticized, particularly by Jewish leaders and political opponents, who viewed it as a criticism of U.S. foreign policy and a violation of the bipartisan stance following the attacks.
McKinney has maintained a critical stance on U.S. Middle East policy, contributing to a strong, yet controversial, relationship with Arab and Muslim communities. She also had a hunger for foreign money, which seems to be common among Democrats. At this point, it isn’t surprising Democrats take foreign money–like from Qatar and CCP sovereign funds–what’s surprising is how little money it takes to buy their Democrat votes.
Not related, I swear!
Meet Regina Wallace-Jones.
Oh gawd! Well, she can’t be prosecuted, of course, because she’s…
Vacationing in Monaco???…
or wherever the Dem junkets are for their “BREAK”!
This had to be boiling up. Now does the Bondi firing make sense with the timing?
People exposed the corrupt the money raising during Obama’s run for president. The dems had the credit card verification turned off so a person could donate as much as they wanted using multiple names. To check it out one of the fellows at the Powerline blog made a small donation via credit card using a riduculous name. Others tried using their dogs name etc. They all went thru.
Well Duh.
As if we didn’t know this was going on?

Hitlery pulled the strings in those terms.

Big Brown! 🤣
YouTube Big Brown funny story from Ali Saddiq.
ActBlue might be under suspicion, but not to worry – the uniparty just voted to continue funding National Endowment for Democracy.
Need to start dragging those little high brow twits that were working in that ACTBlue operation and drag them in front of a judge. Their little online fundraisers that were really not getting a fraction of their boasting and damn well knew it. It was amusing to watch their twitter feeds. Bunch of over educated idiots. Could not competently run a Slurpee Heaven.
Going to be hysterical when reality hits and they realize all those over priced degrees are worthless and they might get to restock at Publics. lol
The rats are trying to get ahead of this colossal scandal of foreign donations by jumping ship.
Money probably trickles right back to the NYT for carrying the water for the DNC.
The real money flow to this media dumpster fire of reporting the so called news, is so anemic they probably can’t keep out of the red.
Buy, BYE, when justice is served to all the takers.
So what’s the actual play here? Whatever it is, you can bet the Dems haven’t suddenly found Jesus.
My question is am I being used as a smurf?
Judging by the constant daily solicitation by the GOP nationwide I highly suspect after today ….
that my name and personal info (being on WinRed databases which took small percentages of my modest donations to President Trump 2024 and gave it to others)
…that my name and info is being used as a smurf account by WinRed/GOP.
I am researching now. Have any other treepers ran into this and have they already done the leg work?
Disclaimer: I am America First. In general I do not support the RNC nor GOP only selective candidates based on actions not words.
Anyone?
Seems to be a valid way to check according to TGP:

Thank you
What I am wondering though is if WinRed is smurfing my info, not Act Blue
The site above will show both.
“The remarkable aspect is not just that ActBlue takes foreign funds, but rather the New York Times revealing internal legal discussions about it.”
I dunno. In my opinion, the left has come up with the most plausible excuses they think they can get away with, and ActBlue will quietly go away.
ActBlue was widely investigated for smurfing by many long before James O’Keefe started knocking on doors. Not taking anything away from him because he certainly gave it visibility, but there were many that were screaming about the blatant money laundering going on for many months prior to his first video, but nobody in authority seemed to care. Shortly after, there were reports of the same going on with WinRed on a much smaller scale.
Still, nobody cared.
Around the time James started asking questions and people started saying they never donated, I recall there were several top level flunkies running ActBlue leaving. I thought at the time, someone must be surely investigating by now, and they are fleeing the sinking ship before it’s too late.
Then nothing.
Now this?
Did the Uniparty get their stories straight on ActBlue/WinRed and clean up whatever embarrassing tidbits that might be found? Did they agree on excuses and low level fall-guys if needed?
Another serious disappointment with Bondi in not hammering ActBlue when even Ray Charles could see the massive fraud. Unless she agreed to ignore it because of those benefitting from WinRed might get their own Ox gored.
…but now that she is out of the way…
Nothing will happen though.

“…………..the Eric Holder law firm Covington & Burling, the primary legal mechanism for the ActBlue/DNC machinery, lies at the heart of the matter.”
Lie. Exactly which definition of the word is applicable here?
A): To be or to stay at rest in a horizontal position.
B): An assertion of something known or believed by the speaker or writer to be untrue with intent to deceive.
What about Islamic donations? Qatar? UAE?
White House aide: Hey Donald did you catch that piece on Act Blue in the NYT? Donald: Yep. Call Bondi and check the status of the investigation I ordered her to do in April 2025 and the report she was to send to me within 6 months. Aid. I already spoke to her and she told me it slipped her mind and she is in the beauty parlor having highlights and will look into it if she has time later on after she gets her nails done. Oh and she said to let you know the DOW is up 300 points today
They’re getting this out now so that in two weeks they can start calling this “old” news.
Isn’t Act Blue the same organization that funneled Black Lives Matter donations to the DNC after the George Floyd riots?
Those Blue Democrat Smurfs laundered a lot of shady money.
He’s not Acting!
Why now for the NY Slimes to come out with this story? Everything thing they do is to help protect the commieDems. So, why now?
It is far enough out front of the midterms to pivot to another scheme and say ActBlue didn’t help them this time. See? We are honest
The answer we are supposed to think is, “So what?”
Because there will not be any accountability.
I’m almost there…
Mail in Donations – Mail in Votes – Mail in Congress

The scumbags used my name.
Transparency in political fundraising is extremely important in any democracy.
The NYT only published this because they know this is about to come out anyway, the libs use the NYT as a dampener of sorts, on an vent that is about to start quaking, they can then say, this is OLD NEWS, LOL.
AAANNNDDDD…nothing will happen…
Maybe a Federal legal action is looming and the friendliest at NYT are trying to get ahead of it?
I recall reading about foreign contributions to Obama’s campaign.
The tell is when a foreign donor makes a donation using their credit card
for a $100.00 for example – when converted to US dollars the amount is
odd – could be $97.23 or $101.46, etc.
I suppose nothing was done about then or now.
Just more evidence of lawlessness and TREASON….
ANYONE who accepted foreign money knowingly is a TRAITOR….
We should go back to hanging TRAITORS…..
NO MERCY!
Round up the usual suspects.
Did Bondi get fired because of the NYT article?
Reminds me of that old ragtime song, Everybody’s doing it a doing it a doing it.
One day over the rainbow, someone will be prosecuted for this crime.
I got some issues with the NYTimes report on Act Blue.
1) The statements made to congress weren’t “potentially misleading” they were outright lies.
2) The claim that “some of the steps to root out foreign donors weren’t always carried out” fails to note that there were no steps taken and thus were never “carried out.”
Yesterday’s news tomorrow. But I guess for the liberal rag NYT, I guess it’s better late than never.
I re-read the piece and still can’t find the part where it tells about the arrests, perp-walks, arraignments etc.
Blondi is gone but will Jeanine Pirro pick up the pieces?
The thing is, this isn’t just Foreign-national money, it’s American taxpayer money they are laundering through ActBlue, they process it through NGO’s and then through ActBlue.
I have told people, if you find your name on one of these lists as donated and you didn’t donated, you need to contact them and tell them you changed your mind and want a REFUND, by law, if name is listed as donated the money, they have to RETURN IT TO YOU!
That’s how you screw these A-holes, and gain some extra cash while you’re at it, it is TOTALLY LEGAL!
Democrats really don’t even like the United States, so why is anyone surprised they would take foreign money to work against it?
Mandatory reporting, within 24 hours, of all contributions. Including name, address, and if electronic then the detected location of the contributor. Prohibition on contributions 72 hours before election day. Penalties include full disgorgement of the improper contributions and 25% of these improper contributions as punitive damages.
