This is the ugly truth Democrats feared could surface.
Now it’s time for panic mode.
And Democrats are plotting to bury the mother of all election fraud allegations.
As Swamp Digest reports:
Every election cycle, Democrats enjoy a massive cash advantage over Republicans.
The fundraising platform ActBlue is the source of the money dominance.
Since its founding in 2004, ActBlue has funneled $19 billion in donations to Democratic candidates, groups, and causes.
But now ActBlue is on the verge of collapse, and the group’s lawyers at the firm of Covington & Burling want CEO Regina Wallace-Jones to admit that she may have lied to Congress when she claimed the platform followed strict policies to weed out foreign contributions.
“The letter from the chief executive, Regina Wallace-Jones, said ActBlue carried out ‘multilayered” screenings of contributions that helped “root out” those from overseas. In fact, the law firm found that some of the steps she had described were not always followed,” the New York Times reported.
“This presents a substantial risk for ActBlue,” the law firm, Covington & Burling, wrote in one of two memos expressing legal concerns. One memo raised the specter of a criminal investigation if prosecutors believed that ActBlue had tried to conceal facts about its efforts to prevent foreign contributions,” the Times reported of the Covington memo.
Federal law bans foreigners from donating to American political campaigns.
The staggering amount of money ActBlue raised invited questions about its compliance with the law and whether it allowed foreign donations to slip through.
The Covington memos told the group that ActBlue and Jones could face criminal investigations for her testimony about ActBlue’s vetting procedures.
“It can be alleged that ActBlue accepted and/or facilitated the acceptance of foreign-national contributions into American elections,” one of the memos read. “In addition, because ActBlue’s staff was aware that its system was not as robust as necessary, it could be alleged that these violations were ‘knowing and willful,’ a standard that both increases the penalties the F.E.C. might seek and gives the Justice Department jurisdiction for a potential criminal investigation.”
Wallace-Jones wrote in a letter to Congress that ActBlue only processed donations with a foreign mailing address if the donor provided a U.S. passport number.
Lawyers at Covington found that was not always true.
Wallace-Jones also claimed that ActBlue would reach out to donors to request a U.S. passport number and refund contributions from donors who couldn’t provide a passport number.
That also was not always the case.
Lawyers at Covington were so concerned that they wrote that Wallace-Jones should retain her own criminal defense attorney.
The Times reported that the firm “warned Ms. Wallace-Jones that she was at risk of having legal liability and needed her own personal lawyer, according to two people who were on the call.”
ActBlue and Covington soon parted ways.
Seven senior ActBlue officials also resigned.
If ActBlue or its leadership faces criminal charges in 2026, the biggest Democrat campaign weapon may get taken off the board in the middle of a heated election.
