The Center Square) – House Republicans have launched an inquiry into whether foreign actors are funneling money through nonprofit groups to influence America’s elections.
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-MO., and Oversight Subcommittee Chairman David Schweikert, R-Ariz., released an open letter soliciting input on the matter, suggesting that some nonprofit groups may be violating the law to help political parties and candidates.
“Public reporting has raised questions about whether tax-exempt sectors are operating in a manner consistent with the laws and regulations that govern such organizations and whether foreign funds are flowing through these organizations to influence American politics,” the letter said.
The lawmakers argue that Democrats have leveraged these kinds of groups, though both sides of the aisle could take advantage of loopholes of this kind. They point to one Swiss billionaire, Hansjörg Wyss, who has reportedly poured millions of dollars into the U.S. political system through dark money groups.
“For example, the Committee has learned that a Super Political Action Committee (PAC) recommended donations to 501(c)(3) organizations as ‘the single most effective tactic for ensuring Democratic victories’ and that large donations from a wealthy donor to state election offices in 2020 may have been done in a manner that helps one political party over another,” the letter said. “Additionally, the Committee has also found that significant amounts of foreign money is flowing through 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) organizations to influence elections.”
The lawmakers requested information on whether the Internal Revenue Service adequately tracks how foreign money could flow through these groups.
“According to a U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) report, IRS examiners ‘do not review the national origin of sources of donations reported’ by tax-exempt organizations on the Form 990, “and do not assess an organization’s compliance with FECA provisions during audits,” the letter said. “Given concerns over foreign influence in our elections, should IRS examiners review the national origin of sources of donations reported by a tax-exempt organization on the agency’s IRS Form 990-series?”
If you’re a taxpayer in New York, or anywhere in the U.S., you’re getting scammed by groups like United Way, Catholic Charities and the Central American Refugee Center. You may think they’re charities. Truth is, these groups are hauling in millions in taxpayer dollars — your money — under government contracts to facilitate illegal immigration.
It’s money laundering. Democratic politicians want to maximize illegal immigration, but they don’t want their fingerprints on it. The remedy: pay so-called charities that will do the work for them. Who’s in on this scam? President Joe Biden, and Democrats across the country including New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser and New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
Even before crossing the border, migrants still in Mexico are being handed payment cards loaded with $800 a month to enable them to pay for necessities. The cards are distributed by the nonprofit International Organization for Migration, thanks to money provided by the Joe Biden’s State Department.
WE need to go back to where only AMERICAN CITIZENS could donate to politicians. GET RID OF ALL PACS!
Receiving foreign money to place the interests of foreign entities over that of the American people while in the salary and employment of THE PEOPE is by definition TREASON, worthy of a wall, a blindfold, and a 20 gun salute. George Washington had them shot, why not our current Commander-in-chief?????…..because it is Biden and his party leaders whose hands are full of the filthy foreign lucre.
BECAUSE the ones who’d be responsible for CHARGING Treason, investigating it, arresting over it etc, ARE CONTROLLED BY THE BIDENS AND company..
investigate and do NOTHING!!!!
Which is why i keep asking, WHAT THE HELL IS The bloody point in all of these investigations, when all they do, is WASTE TIME AND OUR TAX DOLLARS>!?!?!?!
