Exclusive: Data shows that half of 2019 donations to ActBlue came from untraceable 'unemployed' donors
[FoxNews] Less than two months ahead of the presidential election — with concerns of foreign interference again at the forefront — a conservative political group is raising "serious concerns" about millions of donations reported by a major Democratic fundraising platform.



"After downloading hundreds of millions of [dollars in] donations to the Take Back Action Fund servers, we were shocked to see that almost half of the donations to ActBlue in 2019 claimed to be unemployed individuals," he said. "The name of employers must be disclosed when making political donations, but more than 4.7 million donations came from people who claimed they did not have an employer. Those 4.7 million donations totaled $346 million ActBlue raised and sent to liberal causes."
$346.00/4.70 = $73.61 average per. Not likely unemployed folks are sending this kind of "ching", imo.

#1 Let me guess: no IP addresses? Or they were all done via VPN end point? Handy for those overseas donations to find their way into our elections.

Hey Georgie Soros, we see you. If only it was through a scope.

#2 Just like Obama's campaign. Whoops, somebody disabled tracking of where the donations originated. Donations with non-zero penny amounts were foreign currency converted to dollars.

#5 The history of many countries attacked by way of the soft underbelly of greed. China gives but you pay, you will always pay much more in return and forever. Reminds me of a story I would tell of Indians placing traps with bait but not setting them. Doing this a couple of times the little thief grows bold and snatches the free meal without hesitation. Then the trap is set and crack!!. An easy catch for nearly every trap set this way.

#6 Trump slams Democrat fundraising platform ActBlue after it was revealed $346M in donations came from untraceable 'unemployed' donors and asks 'money laundering anyone?'

#7 This "dark money" needs to be tracked down. Reads like laundered money going to Biden's campaign.

#8 This year, it'll be 95%.

As for Trump "slamming" these efforts -- if only there was a department of the government that could investigate these things and which answers to Trump.

Oh well.
