this is cr. the dems should not have started down this road.

in a different context, biden fired the GC of the NLRB the second he took office. that shocked a lot of us in the labor community bc it had never been done before. so obviously trump followed suit after he got back into office. it'll happen every time there's an admin change now.

same with the lawfare bullshit.

Speculation about crimes at ActBlue. but i did learn that Yellen had been stiffing Republicans about production of SARs about ActBlue. presumably Bessent is turning everything over.

the rapid exit of top people seems suspicious.

ActBlue Probes May Shut Down DNC Money Laundry

The fundraising platform is suspected of identity theft, credit card fraud, and various other financial crimes.

by David Catron

March 9, 2025, 10:20 PM

efore the recent election, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability asked then-Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to turn over all Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) relating to ActBlue — not much happened. An SAR is a document that banks file with the Treasury Department pursuant to potentially fraudulent or illicit financial activity. Yellen stalled, presumably in the hope that the Democrats would win the House back in November and halt the investigation. That obviously didn’t happen and the new Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, is of course cooperating with the committee.

ActBlue will not survive the light that the House committee and nineteen state attorneys general are determined to shine on it.

This may well be what precipitated the sudden departure of seven senior officials from ActBlue in February. The New York Times reports that the exodus included “the associate general counsel — who was the highest-ranking legal officer at ActBlue — the assistant research director, a human resources official, the chief revenue officer and an engineer who had spent 16 years building and maintaining the electronic pipes through which the group’s donations flow.” These “electronic pipes” are clearly of particular interest to the Chairman of the Oversight and Accountability Committee, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), who included the following forewarning in his letter to erstwhile Treasury Secretary Yellen:

Recent reports have raised the specter of fraud and evasion of campaign finance law by individuals exploiting online contribution platforms, especially ActBlue. For example, ActBlue had not implemented standard procedures to guard against identity theft and fraud such as requiring a Card Verification Value (CVV) to process online transactions until it received criticism for not doing so. ActBlue is also being investigated by several states’ officials in relation to contributions allegedly made via the platform fraudulently without the reported contributor’s awareness.

This practice is known as “smurfing.” It is a type of identity theft whereby the names of small dollar donors are repeatedly used without their knowledge to mask large dollar political contributions that by law must be reported to the Federal Election Commission (FEC). The website, Election Watch, features a “Smurf Search” tool that allows users to search FEC data for implausibly large numbers of political contributions attributed to individual donors. An examination of the data, for example, indicates that a single Colorado resident allegedly made 57,138 contributions — one transaction every 1.3 days — totaling no less than $234,441.

And this is by no means an outlier. The FEC data shows a Florida resident whose individual contributions purportedly come to 52,591— an average of one transaction every 1.8 days — totaling $387,720. One California resident listed has supposedly made 52,501 separate contributions — an average of one transaction every 2.9 days — totaling $884,152. The list goes on and on. There are quite literally thousands of examples with similarly implausible contribution patterns. Thus, 19 states have opened investigations into ActBlue. The following is an excerpt of a letter the state attorneys general sent to its President and CEO, Regina Wallace-Jones.

Recent reporting suggests that that there may be donors across the country who are identified in filings with the Federal Election Commission as having donated to candidates through ActBlue (and other affiliated entities), but who did not actually make those donations. That raises a host of concerns about whether ActBlue’s platform is being used to facilitate “smurfing” — a type of money laundering in which donors break up large donations and submit them under different names to disguise who the money comes from and thereby skirt contribution limits.

None of this should surprise any student of Democratic fundraising tactics. As far back as March of 2023, independent journalist James O’Keefe looked into ActBlue and interviewed a number of the people this fundraising organization reported to the FEC as high volume, low dollar contributors. He subsequently posted this X video substantiating the results. He knocks on doors, speaks directly to alleged donors and receives responses ranging from doors slamming in his face to curious citizens simply answering his questions. The latter emphatically deny donating money in the amounts or with the frequency reported by ActBlue to the FEC in their names.

ActBlue’s Source of Money

All of which inevitably brings us to the following question: What is the source of the large contributions that ActBlue is suspected of laundering by means of identity theft and credit card fraud? We aren’t talking chump change here. ActBlue has raised about $16 billion for the Democratic Party and other far left organizations since it was founded in 2004. According to Open Secrets, it raised more than $3.8 billion during the recent election cycle, well over $3.7 billion of which allegedly arrived in the form of “small dollar” donations. Is it plausible that ActBlue received that kind of money from people worried about the price of eggs?

The most likely source of its funding is, and always was, a combination of far left billionaires such as George Soros, Reid Hoffman, Herbert Sandler, Patricia Bauman, et al. ActBlue will not survive the light that the House committee and nineteen state attorneys general are determined to shine on it. That’s why its senior officials bailed, leaving the rank-and-file activists holding all that dirty money. If ActBlue goes belly up, who will do the laundry for the Democratic Party?

Here are the five radical leftist groups protesting Elon Musk – one of which received $7.6M from George Soros

George Soros gave $7.6 million to one of five groups accused of targeting Elon Musk’s Tesla company, The Post has learned.

Tesla cars, Cybertrucks, dealerships and charging stations have been set on fire, shot at and sprayed with graffiti across the nation in acts of politically charged vandalism since Musk’s new Department of Government Efficiency started making government cuts.

While the motives behind individual attacks vary, Musk has identified certain groups who organized protests against him and his company.

“An investigation has found 5 ActBlue-funded groups responsible for Tesla ‘protests’: Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project and Democratic Socialists of America,” he said in a recent X post.

“We do not direct, coordinate, or dictate the strategies or activities of the organizations we support,” said a statement from the Open Society Foundations. “The Open Society Foundations support a broad range of nonprofit organizations that work to strengthen democracy and promote nonviolent civic engagement. Our grantees operate independently and are expected to do so in full adherence to U.S. law.”

ActBlue is a Democratic Party-affiliated fundraising platform, currently under fire for raising funds for anti-Israel terrorists.

Here’s how each of those groups have been involved in protesting against Tesla:

Indivisible Project

Indivisible Project, a Washington-based non-profit, has been almost entirely financed by Soros’s Open Society. It is coordinating a cross-country protest against Musk, empowering “grassroots” affiliates to “stop the Trump-Musk coup,” according to its website.

The group took in more than $7.6 million from Open Society between 2017 and 2023. It was originally set up in 2016 to protest the election of Donald Trump.

Indivisible Action, a related Political Action Committee, has raised more than $9 million, public records show.

Indivisible Action’s anti-Musk activities include posting a toolkit on its website for a “Musk or US March Recess” demonstration planned for next week during the government’s spring break.

The toolkit includes graphics for signs reading: “GTFO Musk” and “Fire Elon Musk.”

In addition to Soros, the group has received $2 million from the Sandler Foundation, which funds groups such as the progressive news platform ProPublica.

Herbert Sandler, a New York-born banker, set up the foundation with his wife Marion in 1991, and has given out more than $1.2 billion in grants to progressive nonprofits, according to its website.

After Sandler’s death in 2019, the married Congressional staffers who set up Indivisible Project thanked him for his support.

“For the last two years, we’ve counted ourselves as deeply fortunate to know Herb, and to benefit from his advice and guidance,” said Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg in a 2019 press release.

“He was always thinking about the next stage for Indivisible, asking hard questions that pushed us forward. We will miss him deeply.”

Married couple Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin are the co-founders of Indivisible, which is linked to a PAC that has raised more than $9 million to support progressive candidates.

Herbert Sandler (November 16, 1931 – June 5, 2019)[1] was a co-CEO (with his wife, Marion Sandler) of Golden West Financial Corporation and World Savings Bank. He died on June 4, 2019, at the age of 87.[2] Golden West Financial's lending practices had Time magazine include Sandler and his wife Marion in their list of the "25 People to Blame for the Financial Crisis".[3]

Early life

Herbert Sandler was born on November 16, 1931, in New York City. He grew up in a Jewish family in the Bronx.[4]

Education

Sandler graduated from Stuyvesant High School in New York City and the City College of New York in 1951. He graduated from Columbia Law School in 1954.[5][6]

Career

In 1963, the Sandlers created Golden West Financial Corporation, a savings and loan holding company, to acquire Golden West Savings and Loan Association, the predecessor to World Savings Bank. Since that time, Golden West grew into one of the largest thrifts in the U.S. with assets of approximately $125 billion, deposits of $60 billion, and 12,000 employees. Under the Sandlers' management, Golden West generated a 19 percent average annual compound growth in earnings per share over a 39-year period. The company was described as "one of the most efficient and productive money machines on the planet",[7] and was included 10 times in Fortune magazine's annual list of the United States' most admired companies.[8] The Sandlers were also named "2004 CEOs of the Year" by Morningstar, Inc.

In an article on the death of Marion Sandler, Ryan Mac of Forbes notes that Golden West "instituted borrowing practices that were largely blamed for the housing market collapse".[9]

Golden West was sold in 2006 for $24 billion to Wachovia Bank and the acquisition was completed in October 2006.[10] The Sandlers owned about 10% of the company at the time of the sale, making their share of the sale price worth about $2.4 billion. Of this the Sandlers gave $1.3 billion to the Sandler Foundation.[11]

Role in subprime mortgage crisis

Sandler and his wife have throughout their public life denounced predatory lenders and the poor underwriting practices of other lenders. However, the actual practices of their firm especially in the 2000s, undermined their conservative lending principles and reputations, especially in the wake of the housing crash in 2008.[12]

The Sandlers are credited with the invention of the "Pick-A-Pay" mortgage that allowed borrowers to pay less than the interest due on their loan each month—which increased the total amount owed by the borrower. Analysts place the blame on the near failure of Wachovia in the fall of 2008 on the "Pick-A-Pay" mortgage portfolio they acquired from the Sandler's firm.[13]

Martin Eakes, the director of the Center for Responsible Lending, said that prepayment penalties would make it hard for cash-poor borrowers to refinance a loan for one with more manageable terms, and helped to get a law passed in North Carolina prohibiting such charges. The Sandlers supported prepayment penalties, acknowledging that lenders used the penalties to lock borrowers into “absolutely awful” loans, but saying that his firm used the penalties to fend off unethical brokers who enticed borrowers with low-interest-rate loans that often had hidden fees. Sandler described independent brokers as "the whores of the world”, nonetheless by 2006 independent brokers generated 60 percent of World Savings' loan business, and he claimed that he was compelled to do so because of brokers were a dominant force in the mortgage industry. World Savings was supposed to telephone applicants to ensure that they understood the terms of their loan, as a check on the representations that brokers made to borrowers, but these calls reached only about half of the borrowers.[14]

Philanthropy

The Sandlers helped found and were among the largest benefactors of the Center for Responsible Lending, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization fighting predatory mortgage lending, payday loans, and other products that prey on consumers;[15] the Center for American Progress, a progressive think tank; ProPublica, an investigative reporting newsroom; and the American Asthma Foundation.[citation needed]

The Sandlers established the Sandler Foundation in 1991, which has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to various causes, primarily focusing on scientific research, civil liberties, and social justice. In 2006, the Sandlers made a contribution of $1.3 billion to the foundation, which was the second largest American charitable contribution of that year.[16]

Will the “act blue” arrests come BEFORE or AFTER the arrests of Biden for treason, Obama for spygate, and various Dem operators for 2020 election fraud and decades of pedophilia?
