NYT broke the story that Act Blue possibly misled Congress in 2023, sounds like she misled Congress. What is it with this political party it seems like fraud/deception follows it everywhere.

ActBlue CEO pleads the Fifth as House probes illegal foreign donations to Dems

"House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil (R-Wis.) said in his opening remarks there was “significant concern that ActBlue may have allowed foreign donations on their platform, lied to Congress and withheld responsive documents from a congressional subpoena.”

From the NYTimes article:

“Invoking the Fifth Amendment is not an admission or even an insinuation of guilt,” (Ms. Wallace Jones) said. “It is the only reasonable response to a highly partisan proceeding that is about harassing its largest political opponent’s fund-raising platform.”

I remember Trump saying once that people that use the 5th Amendment were guilty as hell, but then

Donald Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination to decline answering questions during an August 2022 deposition for the New York Attorney General’s civil fraud investigation into the Trump Organization. He pleaded the fifth over 440 times during the four-hour proceeding.

Sure but putting the opening article headlines

In Bold enlarge letters like this

means it must be true.

You've waited since 2022 to be able to use that, lol.

Can't imagine the pain that consumes you

Add that to the fact that every member of their legal and compliance team left the company in 2025, and it's not looking good.

Don't forget the 5 employees that refused to answer questions a couple of months ago.

Five ActBlue Employees Plead the Fifth on 146 Questions During House Judiciary Depositions - EVERY Member of Legal & Compliance Was Fired, Quit, or on Extended Leave From Platform in 2025 The Gateway Pundit by Brian Lupo

MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

THE COUNSEL TO THE PRESIDENT

SUBJECT: Investigation into Unlawful “Straw Donor” and Foreign Contributions in American Elections

Further, there is evidence to suggest that foreign nationals are seeking to misuse online fundraising platforms to improperly influence American elections. A recent House of Representatives investigation revealed that a platform named ActBlue had in recent years detected at least 22 “significant fraud campaigns”, nearly half of which had a foreign nexus. During a 30-day window during the 2024 campaign, the platform detected 237 donations from foreign IP addresses using prepaid cards, indicating that this activity remains a pressing concern.

So 14 months later still in the SUGGEST mode.

NB to the above: When Mr. Trump issued his unusual direct order for the Justice Department to investigate ActBlue last spring, it came with a 180-day deadline to report back the results of the inquiry.

“He did not do $300,000 worth of anything in three years,” said Pam Fridrich when an OMG Citizen Journalist in Fernandina Beach, Florida, presented FEC data alleging the Fridrichs donated hundreds of thousands to ActBlue. 

In Las Vegas, Nevada, Elaina Bulow, a devout Democrat, was linked to 830 donations totaling $111,000. Outraged, she called the data “a lot of bullsh*t” and denied donating that amount.

In Salt Lake City, Utah, Marilyn Shearer, who donates daily, was stunned to find her name tied to nearly 3,600 donations totaling $133,000. Despite her frequent donations, Shearer shook her head in disbelief when asked if she had contributed over $100,000.

It's no wonder the rats jumped ship in 2025 when the DOJ was no longer looking the other way. This is a mess that's going to take years to untangle. But the evidence is there. Thousands of donor mules for $$ millions. In publicly available databases that the Blue DOJ's chose not to look into. Wonder why?

Atty Paxton did a investigation in Texas on ACT Blue.

The petition is heavily redacted in the sections describing the AG's civil investigation findings .Many individuals names were used for hundreds of unique contributions totaling many thousands of dollars per person per year.

Some names saw contributions multiple times per day, almost every day.

As there are rumblings of possible federal or state criminal charges, almost any lawyer would advise against answering questions at a House or Senate hearing that could possibly have impact on those charges.

Interesting that you sited the Blue DOJ walked away. How many times have we seen this play out. The Blue looking the other way when corruption is discovered.
