We have been the primary to report on the DNC Voter Mules reporting utilizing ActBlue in 2022. On Thursday President Trump ordered an investigation into this corrupt DNC election exercise.
In early December 2022, after the 2022 election we have been the primary to report on what we labeled “voter mules”. These have been people who made typically 1000’s of donations to Democrat politicians throughout the nation completely as much as hundreds of thousands of fraudulent donations. “Preacher” Raphael Warnock obtained $24 million from lots of of unemployed donors giving over 358,000 donations.
(The Web Sleuth behind this effort was Chris Gleason.)
This was the tip of the iceberg. James O’Keefe visited a few of these so-called doners and came upon in quite a few situations they have been aged unemployed people who had no concept there have been donations to the DNC below their names.
What was discovered was the most important unlawful cash laundering election operation in historical past.
On Thursday, President Trump ordered an investigation into the illegal Voter Mule exercise.
Right here is President Trump’s Memorandum to the Secretary of the Treasury, Lawyer Common and Counsel to the President:
Investigation into Illegal “Straw Donor” and Overseas Contributions in American Elections
Federal regulation (52 U.S.C. 30121 and 30122) strictly prohibits making political contributions within the title of one other particular person, in addition to contributions by overseas nationals.
However these legal guidelines designed to guard American democracy, press studies and investigations by congressional committees have generated extraordinarily troubling proof that on-line fundraising platforms have been prepared members in schemes to launder extreme and prohibited contributions to political candidates and committees.
Particularly, these studies elevate considerations that malign actors are looking for to evade Federal supply and quantity limitations on political contributions by breaking down giant contributions from one supply into many smaller contributions, nominally attributed to quite a few different people, doubtlessly with out the consent and even information of the putative contributors. The studies additionally elevate considerations that such “straw donations” are being made by means of “dummy” accounts, doubtlessly utilizing reward playing cards or pay as you go bank cards to evade detection.
Additional, there may be proof to recommend that overseas nationals are looking for to misuse on-line fundraising platforms to improperly affect American elections. A current Home of Representatives investigation revealed {that a} platform named ActBlue had in recent times detected at the very least 22 “vital fraud campaigns”, almost half of which had a overseas nexus. Throughout a 30-day window in the course of the 2024 marketing campaign, the platform detected 237 donations from overseas IP addresses utilizing pay as you go playing cards, indicating that this exercise stays a urgent concern.
These actions undermine the integrity of our electoral course of. Due to this fact, I direct the Lawyer Common, in session with the Secretary of the Treasury, to make use of all lawful authority, as mandatory, to research allegations relating to the illegal use of on-line fundraising platforms to make “straw” or “dummy” contributions or overseas contributions to political candidates and committees, and to take all applicable actions to implement the regulation.
I additional direct the Lawyer Common to report again to me by means of the Counsel to the President inside 180 days of the date of this memorandum on the outcomes of the investigation.
This memorandum will not be meant to, and doesn’t, create any proper or profit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at regulation or in fairness by any social gathering towards the USA, its departments, companies, or entities, its officers, staff, or brokers, or another particular person.
