I fully agree. And,
$16 billion since 2004 gives a lot of 'wiggle' room for an organization committed to a lack of controls. They have
been under investigation for laundering foreign donations, credit card fraud, wire fraud, and funding terrorism, but I would not be surprised if the investigation has since expanded to additional topics (since this March) at the DoJ/FBI.
Quote:
"Terror financing is an extremely serious crime, and organizations cannot be given a free pass for failed due diligence, or worse, the enabling of terrorism."
In addition to enabling alleged terrorism, Issa claimed that collaboration between ActBlue and the two entities "may also constitute money-laundering crimes."
"In addition, the flagrant inability of progressive groups to address the appearance of skirting a full range of our laws or call out the evils of Hamas and the BDS movement raises critical questions if the activities and coalition building of ActBlue and ActBlue Charities are in reality part of a wider commitment to financing and facilitating attacks on Israel and Jewish people in America and around the globe," he said.
It's great to go after the organization, but there are leaders/officers/elected officials involved who should be facing criminal indictments, imho. All that being said, I am not sure if in fact it is true to any degree regarding the mortgage wire fraud discussed above.
Ultimately, I think Actblue
is a threat to the republic and should be shut down, period, but it will take some time to get there. .
