Weird: ActBlue Employees Take The Fifth 146 Times

Two things: first, pleading the 5th does not say someone is guilty in a court of law. It is an important Constitutional basis to avoid self incrimination, for which prosecutors can ramrod a guilty verdict.

Second, we’re just talking about donations for political activity, right?

Report: ActBlue Employees Plead the Fifth over 100 Times During House Depositions

Current and former employees of the Democrat fundraising machine, ActBlue, reportedly pleaded the Fifth more than 100 times while testifying before several House committees.

In a press release, it was revealed that the House Judiciary Committee, House Administration Committee, and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee released a report titled, “Fraud on ActBlue, Part II: Illicit Foreign Donations and a Cover-up Sour Mass Resignations and Firings on ActBlue’s Legal and Compliance Team.”

The press release revealed that the “five current or former employees at ActBlue who appeared for depositions all invoked their Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination during questioning – for a total of 146 times.”

“The Committees conducted five depositions with key ActBlue fraud-prevention and legal personnel to obtain more information about the fraud-prevention failures detailed in the Committees’ first report and the cover-up detailed here,” the report says. “The employees invoked their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in response to every single one of the Committees’ substantive questions—146 times in total. Their unwillingness to testify only amplifies the Committees’ concerns.”

In reality land, they were taking donations they shouldn’t have been taking and doing things they shouldn’t have been doing and certainly knew about it and were probably enabling it willfully.

The 120-page report explains that the three House committees “are charged with ensuring the integrity of American elections,” adding that the committees “are examining allegations that ActBlue, a leading political fundraising organization, allowed bad actors, including foreign actors, to exploit its online platform to make fraudulent political donations.”

They should offer someone amnesty and see what kind of information they will get.
