In potentially significant news for Republicans who supported President Trump with the expectation that his administration would address the fraud long suspected 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 prominent Democrats. These individuals are associated with ActBlue, a primary fundraising platform for the Democratic Party, which Rep. Comer claims has engaged in serious 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 numerous small donations from individual donors that remain within the legal limits for campaign contributions and demonstrate grassroots support. Rep. Comer and others assert that, in reality, these fraudulent transactions were utilized to launder funds from substantial and foreign donors.
Regardless, during his conversation with Benny Johnson on the podcast “The Benny Show” on Thursday, March 13, Rep. Comer contended that the “tons and tons and tons” of contributions to ActBlue in increments of $10 and $20 serve as a “red flag” that may suggest large-scale fraud of the type he and many other conservatives are alleging.
In response, Benny expressed his agreement with Comer’s assessment of the apparently fraudulent transactions, stating, “This thing is just rotten!” He further remarked, “I don’t know if we have the direct evidence just yet, but man, you sure can put the pieces together and say that ActBlue must be one of the largest money laundering organs this side of 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 way we’re going to investigate this, the same way we investigated the Bidens. We’re starting with the suspicious activities reports. These are the bank violations. If anyone commits a financial crime, the banks will catch it.” In line with this, Comer remarked during the interview, “We are proceeding with our investigation. Their lawyers are departing… This will mark the conclusion of the Democratic Party.
Benny then inquired of Rep. Comer whether he had discussed the issue of ActBlue and its purported fraudulent activities with FBI Director Kash Patel. He asked, “Have you consulted Kash? I know you’re quite close with Kash. Have you inquired if there’s an FBI investigation into this? Do you have any confirmation?”
Comer responded, “I assured Kash that I would not disclose our discussions during interviews. However, I will say this: I have complete confidence in Kash Patel. I feel invigorated whenever anyone mentions Kash Patel’s name! Because I’ve had to interact with Christopher Wray for the past two and a half years. Kash Patel is a breath of fresh air.”
In response to the interview and Comer’s disclosures on X (formerly Twitter), Benny described Rep. Comer’s statements by saying, “Rep. James Comer and the FBI are set to bring CRIMINAL CHARGES against those responsible for ActBlue, the largest money laundering scheme in U.S. history.” Watch the pertinent segment of the interview here:
