Summary

A House Judiciary report reveals ActBlue's internal Slack messages showing staff approved foreign donations using inadequate verification methods, including checking Twitter profiles and LinkedIn accounts instead of actual identity verification. When legal counsel tried to report the violations, their messages were deleted, and the company fired outside counsel and its entire legal team.

    NEW: A House Judiciary report just dropped screenshots of ActBlue's internal Slack messages. They show staff knowingly waved through foreign donations—using "verification" methods you won't believe. Thread 🧵👇

    ActBlue told Congress its "passport verification" stops foreign donors. Their own policy says otherwise: it only checks that the number has the right number of characters. No database check. No real verification. Ever.

    So what actually gets a foreign donation approved at ActBlue? A supervisor's own words: "The donor is foreign, but correctly entered their billing address." Approved.

  4. #4

    Another one: "Donor sometimes has an IP in Hong Kong but none of their other signals raise any eyebrows." Approved.

    Here's the one that should end the debate. A donor's information pointed entirely to Canada. ActBlue approved it anyway because — and this is a real quote — "Twitter seems to confirm that they are a real person."

  6. #6

    It happened more than once. Another foreign-flagged donor got waved through because they "had a LinkedIn." Social media profiles as campaign finance law compliance.

  7. #7

    When ActBlue's own legal counsel Zain Ahmad tried to report this, IT deleted his messages in real time. This one says "Please stop deleting my requests. You are violating the laws and policies of our company." Deleted 5 seconds later.

  8. #8

    It happened 6 times that night. He even sent ActBlue's own Whistleblower Protection Policy. Deleted. Then the Non-Retaliation Policy. Deleted too.

    Outside counsel told ActBlue's CEO this looked "knowing and willful" and warned her to get a personal lawyer. She fired the law firm instead. Every lawyer on ActBlue's legal team was gone within 4 months of the 2024 election. Full report from @RantyAmyCurtis: townhall.com/news/amy-curti…
