HOLY SMOKES. ActBlue just PLED THE 5TH and REFUSED to answer about getting foreign donations infiltrating US politics on behalf of Democrats She wouldn't even refute getting RUSSIAN money!
Ironic how these rodents now hide behind the very Constitution they actively worked to undermine and ultimately tried to destroy.
Charge them, prosecute them, and cut off all sources of their funding.(then stick them with the bill for their prosecution/convictions.![]()
The guilty never admit their guilt, but they prove it by refusing to defend their presumed innocence.
These hearings are so F'n stupid. It is never about getting to the truth.
It is all about the politicians getting their 30 second soundbites for the internet.
They are under investigation by the DOJ and Treasury Department.
I agree. I have just seen this garbage happen in Washington for so long and no politicians ever seem to be held accountable.The part where he said the DOJ was conducting a separate investigation was good information. The Democrats taking money from foreign countries to get Democrats elected was good too. From what I've seen from Democrats China, Russia, and Iran are probably on that list.
Like yelling and screaming at your kids and expecting them to listen cause mommy yelled and lectured.I agree. I have just seen this garbage happen in Washington for so long and no politicians ever seem to be held accountable.
Until consequences happen, it is all just theater.
HOLY SMOKES. ActBlue just PLED THE 5TH and REFUSED to answer about getting foreign donations infiltrating US politics on behalf of Democrats She wouldn't even refute getting RUSSIAN money!ActBlue is a FRAUD group. Shut it down! REP. JIM JORDAN: Your board chairman said ActBlue accepted up to 38 million contributions in 2024 that had the signs of foreign origin. How much fraud is too much fraud? ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution. JORDAN: How many foreign contributions did ActBlue accept? ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution. JORDAN: How much money did ActBlue accept from Russia? ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution. JORDAN: Why did your entire legal team quit? Your in-house legal team? ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution. JORDAN: Did your legal team quit because of reduced fraud standards? ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution. JORDAN: We won't keep you here all day, but let me just do one more. Did you weaken your fraud standards to help Democrats? ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution. Absolutely insane.![]()
There is an active DOJ investigation. Jordan knows this. He also knows they canāt answer, hence why heās asking the questions. Itās a soundbite and nothing more.
The DOJ has to indict and put their butts in trial. And it needs to happen yesterday. Accountability, Iāve yet to see a single ounce of it occur.
I agree. I have just seen this garbage happen in Washington for so long and no politicians ever seem to be held accountable.
Until consequences happen, it is all just theater.
I donāt believe thatās the case. I understand it that as soon as they answer one question, the 5th amendment is waived and the door is wide open. SOCO could confirm this or now. I donāt think the 5th is electable under questioning, itās all or none.Now everyone knows there's a DOJ investigation and yes they could have answered some questions. The one about taking money from Russia should have been easy.

The Southern Poverty Law Center says "hold my funding beer"The Democrats have been taking money from Countries not considered our allies to get their candidates elected. Taking money from Russia after what they put Trump through is next level hypocrisy.

All these Leftists are so full of hypocritical caca, I don't understand why they're all not summarily dismissed for intellectual irrelevance. Want to know what really motivates the Left?
Follow the money.![]()

Why would a witness invoke the 5th on simply confirming who they are? I heard a clip on Sirius Patriot Ch 125 where that Act Blue witness even refused to answer to her own identity! She sounded just like a pre-programmed chat bot (kinda like the Leftists who post on this forum)The Fifth Amendment right can be asserted on a question by question basis.
Ok.The Fifth Amendment right can be asserted on a question by question basis.
The Fifth Amendment only applies to questions that may result in answers that could lead to the jailable offenses for that witness.Why would a witness invoke the 5th on simply confirming who they are?

Unless I mis heard the clip, she was asked specifically to validate how she wished to be addressed? (by name) She was asked which of two possible pronunciations did she prefer? She refused to answer by invoking the 5th.The Fifth Amendment only applies to questions that may result in answers that could lead to the jailable offenses for that witness.
I would have to see the question. "What is your name?" obviously would have to be answered but if they are asking to identify a person on a video who is committing felony, that could be an issue.
Another way you know Democrats and a handful of Republicans are working with foreign countries to destroy us from within. Because the Democrats didn't have a problem with FISA when they abused it against Trump. After the reforms Trump conducted and knowing it could be used against them legally they all of a sudden are against it.
Now this man has a Grand Jury seated dealing with those that abused it and all of a sudden a certain group doesn't want it at all even though Trump says he needs it.
I support Dems on this one.
Iām good with the Govt not having that kind of power over the US populace. It took about 5 years before the power was abused domestically so grossly that I still donāt understand how zero people went to jail for it. It took 10 years before it was used against a political opponent. 15 years before it was being abused against journalists (arguably, it was happening much earlier as well) and against whole political apparatus of the opposition.The Democrats working with Russia or the ones working with Iran? There's also the ones working with the CCP. I get Americans don't want spied on and they shouldn't be without real probable cause they are doing illegal stuff with foreign countries. However if they are working with ISIS or a similar group it's important to get ahead of that.
That goes for cartels too. So It would be better to put those in jail that abuse the process.

The abuses of the power havenāt stopped. The whole Patriot act should go away, but FISA? 100% should go. If youāre a US Citizen you have inherent rights. The Govt shouldnāt get to cut corners regardless of the level of evil youāre doing. Nothing should be hidden in secret courts. FISA can screw right off.
Working with Iran, the CCP, Russia? Maybe focus on that kind of stuff through normal channels in the Bureau instead of them being used to target Christians, Parents, and people opposed to lockdowns and forced vaccinations. The manpower is there. They donāt need FISA and they shouldnāt have that kind of power.
So you understand the tech companies are going to continue to do it right. But our Intelligence Agencies can't spy on foreigners that wish us serious harm? That's not reality. Like I said it would be best to charge those that abuse it. If you aren't communicating with those that are breaking the law overseas then you shouldn't have to be concerned. If you are then you deserve to have a closer look at. Being how the internet is how they communicate unless you plan on pulling the plug on that's how it needs to be. Americans have Constitutional rights. Our enemies don't. Not voting for Democrats assist in proper supervision. If we shut everything down because they broke the law we would have Anarchy.
JUST IN: President Trump nominates JAY CLAYTON for Director of National Intelligence after Bill Pulte was chosen as Acting DNI āI am pleased to announce the Nomination of very Highly Respected Jay Clayton, former Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the former Head of Sullivan & Cromwell, one of the most prominent and successful Law Firms anywhere in the World, and the current United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, to be the next Director of National Intelligence and, importantly, to serve in my Cabinet.ā āFew people anywhere in the Legal Community are respected at the level of Jay. I encourage the United States Senate to confirm Jay as soon as possible. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
FISA isnāt about spying on foreigners. The Agency, multiple of them, already do that. FISA isnāt used to surveil foreigners, it has absolutely nothing to do with foreigners.
FISA is about circumventing the constitution and standard due process to spy on US Citizens.
If it were legit, you wouldnāt have to lie the way you just did to try and make a case for it.
It has everything to do with foreign operations. If you are an American colluding with a foreign country doing something you shouldn't then you need unmasked and investigated. That takes probable cause and a Judge to make happen for a warrant. There needs to be strict oversight and anyone who abuses it by breaking the law should be held accountable.
If you are against being spied on you should be more concerned about some moron who has a website and administrative rights.
People like this getting unmasked get no sympathy. If you are trading food recipes with someone in Moscow and you get targeted that's a problem.
But FISA is about the US citizen component. You know this, as your carefully crafted response even slipped up and acknowledged. Hahaha
I donāt agree with what Tech companies are doing, but the USG is specifically prohibited from doing what theyāre doing and weāre protected from it.
I donāt listen to Bannon, no idea what heās saying or wanting.I understand how the process is suppose to work. I also understand why Steve Bannon wants it done away with and why he has been crying about on his podcast. Everyone can figure that out soon enough. It's the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. To unmask an American Citizen there needs to be probable cause that laws are being broken. Just like Law Enforcement needs to show a Judge to do Surveillance on anyone else. The problem when they did this with Trump back in 2016 and others the Judge was rubber stamping it and not demanding hard probable cause. Like I said numerous times it's an important tool but they must be made to follow the laws and not rubber stamp the warrant.
Trump was a victim. However as the man responsible for National Security he is asking for it to be renewed. There's a good reason for that.
I gave a couple of examples of the kind of people caught with it living here. There are plenty more examples and our Foreign Enemies and those working with them want it gone. I would rather hold those accountable that abuse it.
I donāt listen to Bannon, no idea what heās saying or wanting.
FISA is used against American citizens. Fact.
FBI to date, despite being mandated to do so, has not implemented a single reform to the process. Theyāre still able to abuse the process. Again, not a single person went to jail. Send some people to jail for violating the process and abusing the power. When they do that? We can talk about extending it. Until then, shut it down and work harder.

To target you for criminal investigation they have to get a warrant and they need probable cause of a crime to do that. So if you are working with an someone overseas planning to blow up a church or school here you gave up your Constitutional Rights to privacy at that point. If you want some of the legal part of it rewritten that's understandable. But you are going to get people killed by Terrorist Sympathizers getting rid of it completely.. When that happens you can thank the Democrats, Thomas Massie and the other Republicans that joined them. I will say one more time. It would be better to punish those that abuse it.
