One of the most puzzling patterns uncovered was that these highly active donors were predominantly unemployed. Despite their lack of employment, they seemed to be engaged in what appeared to be full-time activities of making political donations to Democratic candidates and campaigns. Gleason posed a poignant question to these active donors: what would they think if he told them some voters were making thousands of campaign donations in a single election year? The consistent response was alarming: “Anyone making that amount of donations is laundering money and is part of a criminal enterprise.”
In May 2023, The Gateway Pundit collaborated with Tim Cramer, a prominent social media personality and producer, to investigate donation harvesters in Indiana. Tim Cramer, the owner and creative director of Mosaic, an advertising and marketing agency catering exclusively to conservative businesses and political interests, worked with TGP contributor Adam Sharp to delve into this issue.
Their investigation revealed that numerous individuals listed as ActBlue donors in the Democratic party denied making the vast number of donations attributed to their names. Several of these individuals asserted they did not make these substantial political contributions, leaving investigators questioning the true origin of these funds.
The revelations did not stop there. The Gateway Pundit released footage of further investigations into donation mules, this time focusing on the St. Louis, Missouri, region. Adam Sharp visited multiple homes that had been identified as hubs of alleged Democratic donation harvesting. Shockingly, many residents either disputed the number of donations linked to them or denied that the named individual even resided at the address.

The investigation has also extended into Michigan, where investigative researcher Parker Thayer from the Capital Research Center uncovered suspicious donation patterns. According to Thayer, there have been tens of thousands of contributions allegedly made by the same individuals in Michigan.
Thayer highlighted the activities of one donor from Monroe, who reportedly made over 20,000 donations since 2019, totaling more than $40,000. “They live in a 1,000 sqft house built in 1956,” Thayer noted, raising questions about the legitimacy of these donations. Another donor in Brighton reportedly made over 2,500 donations since October 2023, with their listed address being a retirement home. Thayer expressed concern about potential exploitation, asking, “Is @actblue scamming a retiree by convincing them to repeatedly sign up for recurring contributions?”
Further findings revealed another donor in Milan, Michigan, who allegedly made over 9,000 donations since 2019, with over 5,526 occurring after January 1st, 2023. This would suggest the donor has been making approximately ten donations per day for the last 575 days, prompting serious questions about the validity of these contributions.
The unfolding investigations into ActBlue’s alleged involvement in money laundering schemes have sparked national interest and concern. As authorities in Virginia, Missouri, and Wyoming delve deeper into these claims, the public awaits further revelations. The investigation’s implications could significantly impact the political landscape, with questions about the integrity of the donation process and the true nature of these alleged donation harvesting operations.
