In what could be significant news for Republicans who supported President Trump with the expectation that his administration would address the fraud long believed to be perpetrated by the left, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, informed conservative podcaster Benny Johnson that he and the FBI are pursuing criminal charges against several key Democrats. These individuals are responsible for ActBlue, a primary fundraising platform for the Democratic Party, as Rep. Comer claims it engaged in substantial fraudulent activities.
To provide context, the primary accusation against ActBlue is that it allegedly collaborated with various banks to execute fraudulent credit card transactions, creating the illusion of receiving a significant number of small donations from minor contributors that remain within the permissible limits for campaign contributions and demonstrate grassroots backing. Representative Comer and others assert that, in truth, ActBlue was merely utilizing these fraudulent credit card transactions to launder funds from substantial and foreign donors.
In any event, during a conversation with Benny Johnson on his podcast, “The Benny Show,” on Thursday, March 13, Rep. Comer contended that the “numerous and numerous and numerous” contributions to ActBlue, made in increments of $10 and $20, represent a “red flag” that may suggest extensive fraud of the type he and many other conservatives are claiming.
In his response, Benny expressed his concurrence with Comer’s assessment regarding the apparently fraudulent transactions, stating, “This situation is utterly corrupt!” He further elaborated, “I am uncertain if we possess the direct evidence at this moment, but it is evident that one can certainly connect the dots and conclude that ActBlue is likely one of the most significant money laundering entities associated with the Biden family.”
Rep. Comer subsequently stated that the banks and the suspicious activity reports from them will be examined to determine the circumstances, asserting, “And that’s the same approach we will take in this investigation, as we did with the Bidens. We are beginning with the suspicious activity reports. These represent the violations by the banks. If anyone engages in financial misconduct, the banks will identify it.” In line with this, Comer remarked during the interview, “We are proceeding with our investigation. Their attorneys are departing… This will mark the conclusion of the Democratic Party.
Benny subsequently inquired of Rep. Comer whether he had discussed the issue of ActBlue and its purported fraudulent activities with FBI Director Kash Patel. He posed the question, “Have you consulted Kash? I am aware of your close relationship with him. Have you inquired if there is an FBI investigation regarding this matter? Do you possess any confirmation?”
Comer stated, “I assured Kash that I would refrain from discussing our conversations during interviews. However, I can share this: I have complete confidence in Kash Patel. I feel a surge of enthusiasm whenever Kash Patel’s name is brought up! This is particularly true given my experiences with Christopher Wray over the past two and a half years. Kash Patel represents a refreshing change.”
In reference to the interview and Comer’s disclosures on X (previously known as Twitter), Benny described Rep. Comer’s statements by asserting, “Rep. James Comer and the FBI are pursuing CRIMINAL CHARGES against the individuals responsible for ActBlue, the largest money laundering operation in U.S. history.” You can view the pertinent segment of the interview here:
