Are Democrats Operating a Money-Laundering Scheme?

With the 2024 Presidential campaign in its final hours, attention among many Capitol Hill insiders is shifting to the battle for control of Congress. And if House investigators are successful in their investigations, Democrat fundraising website ACT BLUE may turn out to have been functioning as an illegal money-laundering operation for foreign campaign contributions.

House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R-KY) has issued subpoenas for individuals who have knowledge of how ACT BLUE may have been funneling foreign money from places like Iran, China and North Korea into Democratic Party campaign coffers…by attaching names of unsuspecting Americans to “donations” about which they knew nothing.

On the Salem Media Group news program THIS WEEK ON THE HILL with Tony Perkins, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) was blunt in his assessment of Democratic Party fundraising: “Evidence is mounting,” Johnson contends, “that the Democrats are using this ill-gotten gain. They’re using ACT BLUE which is their online fundraising juggernaut they brag about…and they’ve raised $16-billion through allegedly small contributions since the site was created over a decade ago.”


Johnson says “allegedly” because House investigators believe ACT BLUE is channeling large, illegal foreign contributions into Democratic Congressional candidate coffers by taking names and addresses of actual American citizens and attaching them to Democrat campaigns as if they are small dollar donors when in actuality these folks have no idea their identities are being misused this way.

“This obviously looks to be a money-laundering operation involving foreign nationals and we don’t really know how big it is yet, and I think people will be going to jail eventually,” Johnson adds. Despite theavalanche of contributions funneled through ACT BLUE, he believes Republicans will still retain control of the House of Representatives because in his view the outcome is not dependent upon the quantity of cash but rather the quality of candidates the voters will elect.

The Speaker suggests that in these final hours of the campaign, men and women wo have any concerns that they might have be used without their consent by ACT BLUE or any other website they should take action by logging onto the website CheckMyDonation.org and type in their name and address to find out if they, too, have been named as “donors” without their consent. 

Insofar as the race for the Presidency between Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris, Mike Johnson was pretty upset this week when Democrat Harris took his words out of context and began whipping up crowds at her campaign rallies suggesting the Speaker plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act. 

“They know they’re lying,” Johnson charges. “They just made it up, and the Vice President then repeated it for distribution by her mainstream media allies. I was in New York, and I immediately told a gaggle of reporters that Kamala Harris is lying.”  Hard stop. 

Johnson believes that this is what desperate campaigns do, and that Harris has nothing substantive to run on. From the very beginning of her being anointed as the nominee of the Democratic Party without receiving a single vote, he contends, Kamala Harris has been a failure. He concludes by saying that in every area of public policy or hands-on governing,America sees disasters and she is the architect of them. 

From the crisis at the grocery store checkout lanes to the soaring cost of gasoline, not to mention foreign policy blunders like the Harris/Biden administration scurrying out of Afghanistan as American soldiers laid dead at Bagram Airfield, Americans see failure. And they don’t like it.

To quote Donald J. Trump’s slogan in the last week of campaigning: “Kamala Broke It…Trump Will Fix It.”

On Tuesday, November 5th, we shall see if American voters give Trump a mandate to once more roll up his sleeves and—repeat after me—Make America Great Again.
