President Donald Trump adversary Adam Schiff is panicking after the president signed a memorandum to crack down on illegal campaign donations, specifically targeting Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue, and called for him to be thrown behind bars.
ActBlue is under investigation in nineteen states for allegedly laundering money for Democrats from “straw donors,” including from illegal foreign sources.
Ongoing investigations have raised concerns about 22 alleged fraud instances linked to ActBlue, including from suspicious foreign donors. In 2024, roughly 237 donations from foreign IP addresses and prepaid gift cards were detected within 30 days, underscoring the potentially widespread nature of the operation.
However, Schiff attempted to spin the narrative and accuse Trump of exploiting the controversy to divert Americans’ attention from current economic issues. Democrats are stoking fears about the economy to rally Americans against Trump and potentially trigger an economic slowdown they could later exploit for campaigns.
“Donald Trump is back to attacking me today because the economy has been in a tailspin under his economic mismanagement. And so have his poll numbers. And the last thing he wants — is people holding him accountable. Attack me as you much as you like, Mr. President, I’m not backing down.”
ActBlue also criticized Trump’s investigation as a brazen attempt to undermine democracy and weaponize the federal government.
“The Trump Administration’s and GOP’s targeting of ActBlue is part of their brazen attack on democracy in America.”
“This Administration continues to weaponize the instruments of federal power in an unprecedented assault on our democracy.”
In a fiery Truth Social post, Trump had accused Democrats of using foreign funds to steal elections, claiming they couldn’t win in a fair contest.
“Hopefully ACTBLUE, the Democrats ILLEGAL SCAM used to raise money, including from not allowed “foreign contributions,” is being looked at by authorities. The Dems only know how to win by CHEATING, something which they do better than any group or party in history.”
He also noted that the ongoing investigations will undermine Democrats’ ability to achieve their financial goals, potentially undermining their ability to win the upcoming midterm elections.
“But now, with their terrible policies and candidates, and with people like Crooked Adam Schiff, who demanded a full Pardon from Sleepy Joe, leading the way, it is almost impossible to reach their money goals.
Trump also equated Schiff’s alleged Auto Pen pardon as proof of guilt. He also questioned whether someone other than “sleepy” Biden had approved the controversial pardons and recommended that all be thrown in jail.
“Also, why did the Auto Pen give Schiff a Pardon? Biden knew nothing about it. Who operated the Auto Pen? That is the biggest question being asked in D.C. They almost destroyed our Country. They should all be in jail!!!”
Meanwhile, Trump’s memo warned of “deeply troubling evidence” of money laundering schemes and prohibited contributions that undermine our electoral process.
“Press reports and congressional investigations have uncovered deeply troubling evidence that online fundraising platforms have enabled schemes to launder excessive and prohibited contributions.”
“These activities undermine the integrity of our electoral process… I direct the Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, to use all lawful authority to investigate these allegations and take appropriate actions to enforce the law.”
In 2024, ActBlue relaxed its fraud policy twice to allow foreign contributions, including some from suspicious sources, according to internal documents obtained by the New York Post.
“The ActBlue fraud-prevention standards changed in April 2024 and again that September, with the relaxed guidelines allowing between 14 and 28 more fraudulent contributions per month,” the Post reported.
“Under the updated policy, up to 6.4% of total ActBlue donations that should have been rejected for fraud were missed.”
What is Democracy?
Why it’s the Democrat Party you idiot.
Of course it’s crooked. The Demoncrats set up these scams all over the place. Crooked money, crooked voting scams. I heard a report that some one made I think it was 61 donations over a 2 month period. So they interviewed the couple. Both had never heard of Act Blue nor had they ever donated to any candidate even out side of Act Blue. It’s a scam only someone in on the scam would say it wasn’t when any idiot can see it is.
