Democrat Criminal Fundraising Organization ActBlue Allowed Foreigners to Donate To Biden and Kamala Throughout the Past Election Cycle

They deliberately allowed foreigners to donate to American leftwing politicians through foreign gift cards -- basically just a debit card containing an amount of money loaded on to it.

You'd think that the fact that these are foreign gift cards would be enough that ActBlue would ban donations made via these cards, but you'd be wrong.

They allowed foreigners to illegally donate until the near the end of the election.

ActBlue Bombshell: Dem money platform tells Congress it didn't block foreign gift cards until fall

ActBlue disclosed that it updated its policies on Sept. 9 to "automatically reject donations that use foreign prepaid/gift cards."

ActBlue, the massive online fund-raising platform for liberal causes, has informed Congress it did not automatically block donations made with foreign-bought gift cards until recently, a potentially significant revelation in an ongoing investigation into whether China, Russia, Iran or Venezuela routed illicit money to Democrat candidates.

House Administratrion Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., whose panel oversees election integrity, told Just the News on Tuesday that ActBlue turned over documents under subpoena showing a major change in September to its donor verification policies designed to protect against illicit money flowing into political campaigns.

ActBlue disclosed that it updated its policies on Sept. 9 to "automatically reject donations that use foreign prepaid/gift cards, domestic gift cards, are from high-risk/sanctioned countries, and have the highest level of risk as determined," by its solution provider, Sift.

The change occurred just three days after Steil introduced the Secure Handling of Internet Electronic Donations (SHIELD) Act on Sept. 6 to ensure foreign money stayed out of online political fundraising. Before the change, Steil said, donations made with foreign gift cards were not automatically rejected by ActBlue before the change.

...

Steil disclosed earlier this fall that his committee is investigating whether four foreign powers -- China, Russia, Venezuela and Iran -- used ActBlue to route illicit foreign money into Democrat coffers.

His committee referred thousands of suspicious donations to state attorneys general in five state, prompting an investigation that has now expanded to 19 states.

There is another investigation into ActBlue for allowing "smurfing" -- which is allowing illegal donors to donate through someone else's name. ActBlue deliberately does not attempt to verify these names, because they want illegal donors to donate money through "smurfs."

These "smurfs" are often unwitting -- normal American people are learning that their names were used for illegal straw-donations to the anti-American Democrat Cult.

In addition, a Wisconsin Republican strategist filed a lawsuit in October alleging his email identity was misused to make Democrat and liberal donations he did not authorize or pay for. The judge in the case recently approved a subpoena compelling ActBlue to disclose certain evidence in the case.

Meanwhile, Steil and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer have requested to see suspicious activity reports filed by banks flagging certain monies flowing through Act Blue. Comer recently alerted lawmakers there could be hundreds such reports to review.

ActBlue has broadly denied wrongdoing but says it is cooperating with the various investigations. It claims to have raised more than $2 billion in small online fund-raising donations for Democrat and liberal causes since its inception in 2004.

In a recent statement on its site to users, ActBlue said it was the victim of "disinformation" and was committed to complying with the law and protecting donors' privacy.

Of course.
