Questionable political money has been in the limelight locally, as $800,000 of questionable special interest dark money was used to buy our own state House district out from under conservative State Representative Keith Kidwell and replace him with someone more aligned with the special interests.   But it is not just local.  Funny money has been showing up at the Democrats major fundraising portal, actBlue.

ActBlue is the Democrats major cash machine for races across the country.  It is well know for the corrupt practice of "smurfing", taking money from one set of donors, and reporting them as contributions from unsuspecting citizens, instead.  In the last election they were caught accepting lots of Visa loaded Debit cards purchased overseas.  Since it is illegal for a foreign citizen to contribute in a US political race this was a big red flag that actBlue was funneling foreign money to Democrat politicians.

ActBlue was called before a Congressional committee over the foreign contributions and denied it.  Now, their own lawyers are saying they likely lied to Congress.
