Actblue
- Thread starter iceheart08
- Start date
Looking forward to the investigation into Paypal next.
Any thoughts on several reports of people not knowing they had “donated” to actblue yet they’re on donor roles for large sums?
I know it happens at WINRED too.
Where are all these donations coming from? Hundreds of people have claimed donations are in there name and they claim they never made the donation.
Seems like dark money at play.

Now that Elon commented on it the Left is going to cape HARD for ActBlue. lol
Did you check the SSN? haha.

Man I'm open to people using ActBlue for corruption. But two people can have the same name right? Thats why I ask. There were at one point 10k dead people that voted in Georgia.Now that Elon commented on it the Left is going to cape HARD for ActBlue. lol

I'm just wary anytime something that seems like this easy of a slam dunk case that hasn't been prosecuted if its been out there a while. Don't think it was a ridiculous question. I have a pretty unique last name, but if you google me, you find old tennis results of mine, my LinkedIn, and lots and lots of photo credits for someone with my exact last name that is a somewhat well known hairdresser in the Seattle area. But guess there could be a third that is a clown. You do you.
It's hundreds of names.
One or two a coincidence? sure. But it's literally hundreds. One name donated 12,000 times. Lots of shady **** going on.
I don't deny it happens at WinRed too. Getting corruption out of politics should be a bi-partisan issue.
Agreed, and I would feel much better if they investigated both at the same time. Want claim you are eliminating cheating, don't blame only the other side.
100% agree. I do find it odd they don't investigate WINRED at the same time. When Okeefe or whomever looked into ActBlue, they then found the same thing at WINRED. So I don't understand why they are not included.
My example in georgia was 10k names. We have millions of people in the US, and obviously more when including foreign sources. I am not saying there wasn't corruption, identity theft, etc. I am saying there hasn't been a good track record recently with these sort of claims. But what I'm saying should be fairly easy to confirm if they subpoena records. Just like when it came down to lawsuits, those people weren't dead, there were just dead people with the same name.
I think you do understand, but you don't like it is what you mean. Which, respek
I was a day early here, but a lighter version of the EO that I saw drafted eventually went live, copied above.
Strange to highlight actblue's own data/attempts to mitigate the risk here, that line will certainly be used in court by actblue.
This thing is ultimately fine. Long ways from what I saw two days ago.

I just want to see them investigate both groups. I highly doubt one is doing it and not both.
I also doubt it's something nefarious, since it rarely ever does. How about those JFK and RFK Files?
true, but I believe that when you contribute you have to give address as well...I wouldn't swear to it, haven't made a contribution in years.
edit: dug a little deeper... If you make a donation of $200 or more to a federal candidate, then that candidate is required to disclose your name, occupation, employer, address, donation date, and donation amount to the Federal Election Commission. Anyone can search for the political contribution history of themselves or others on the FEC website.
Why oh why would they need to invoke the 5th amendment? I thought this was ALL on the up and up lol. Fraudsters.
Good question
Trump invokes Fifth Amendment nearly 450 times in N.Y. AG’s civil probe of his business practices
An attorney for Trump said the former president answered only one question, about his name, during the four-hour deposition.

lol, this thread was started to defend the “above board” actions of ActBlue. They’re fraudsters like just about any other liberal democrat institution. You think comparing that to Trump matters? People know two things about him - he’s loud and obnoxious, democrats will do anything to destroy him. This is something completely different. This isn’t one man, this is the one of the main fundraising components of the entire party. Well done libs.Good question

I couldn’t care less about Act Blue or their apparent fraud. I’m pointing out mocking them for invoking the 5th amendment doesn’t hold up considering Donnie T did it 400+ times and I’m sure you’d say he was innocent
Oh you’re doing the old “whataboutism” move. Cool. Let me try.
I couldn’t care less about Trump or his apparent fraud. I’m pointing out mocking him for invoking the 5th amendment doesn’t hold up considering ActBlue had 5 representatives did it and I’m sure you’d say was innocent.
How’s that?
No, I’m sure ActBlue is guilty, just like Trump was. I loathe fundraising organizations because I think they’re all corrupt and predatory.
Then I’m confused why you bring up Trump. I agree with this particular post. Trump pisses me off too btw, I don’t defend him, perhaps you have me confused. I’ve kinda boiled it down to this - I really liked the CANDIDATE Trump, I think if he would’ve done what he ran on we would be better off. I’m not as thrilled with what he’s done as president. I don’t think he should be in prison but I’m not overly thrilled with everything he does either. Specifically the war in Iran, I really don’t like that.
I think part of the issue was that most on the left brought up "why would trump use the 5th if he wasn't covering up something"?
Now act blue employees are doing the same thing. So you would think that everyone would be asking the same question that they asked previously.
The only reason the left blasted Trump for it, was because he was blasting others previously for taking the 5th and saying that meant they were guilty.
They all do it, and I'm sure that's what their lawyer wants for them to do, but the attacks and hypocrisy all around is funny.
