During a recent segment on Newsmax, Carl Higbie exposed a troubling pattern of suspicious donations to Democratic campaigns, suggesting a potential large-scale operation funneling untraceable money. Higbie’s investigation, fueled by data from Election Watch and the Federal Election Commission (FEC), uncovered thousands of small donations that raise serious questions about their legitimacy.
“The measure in politics, unfortunately, is how much money you have raised,” Higbie began. “Ironically, it’s also the easiest thing to track. So we did, and holy rusted metal Batman, did a bunch of people find a bunch of stuff that appears to not add up on where and how that money is getting into Democrat coffers.”

According to Higbie, over $200 million in political donations have been funneled through ActBlue, the Democrats’ fundraising platform, from a small group of individuals, predominantly over the age of 65, retired, and of lower to middle income. “From our research, it appears that these people, most of them, don’t even know these donations are being made in their name. It’s not their money,” he said.
Higbie detailed the process, explaining how these individuals, referred to as “Smurfs” or “money mules,” have their identities cloned or stolen to make multiple donations from an unknown source. “This is all publicly available information from state and federal websites that are very easy to verify. Should you want to look them up.”
He shared specific examples, including a 74-year-old woman from Louisiana who allegedly donated $573,447 through 1,400 transactions, averaging $76 per donation. “On certain days like October 16 in 2018, she or someone using her identity made 71 individual transactions totaling $3,145. Folks, that would mean she would have to have made more than five donations an hour if she were to sleep for eight hours a night.”
Higbie continued with another case from California, where a 72-year-old woman supposedly made 52,501 donations totaling $884,152 over 700 days. “Every day since 2017, and you can see the data right there, she has made at least one donation ranging from $10 to $100 a day. On one day, making 1,080 donations totaling $20,879 in one day. That’s 68 donations per hour, more than one per minute if it’s true,” he remarked.
He also highlighted a 75-year-old woman from Louisiana who reportedly made 5,670 donations totaling $127,375 in 358 days. “In one day on October 4 in 2022, she made 555 donations totaling over $13,000. Some of those transactions are for just a few bucks, and hundreds of these were returned, which raises even more suspicion.”
Higbie emphasized the broader implications, stating, “These are only three of 1000s of these types of transactions going on to Democrats on the press release from elections. Watch they note the top 10 of these money mules in Michigan made $125,122 in contributions. Sorry, not dollars total contributions, individual contributions from just 10 people, 120,000 in Arizona, one person, one person made. 18,672 individual contributions. One person in Louisiana gave you some greater than the value of their home. In Maryland, the top 32 money mules gave $5.5 million combined over the last five years. Folks, if 32 people gave that volume money, they would be known in every political circle as cash cows to hit up for every single campaign, but they’re not. In fact, there’s almost no information about them anywhere other than town tax records that we dug up.”
He called for a thorough investigation, asserting, “Whoever is choreographing this volume is doing it in such small donations because they thought those wouldn’t get flagged by watchdogs and FEC officials. The way this was brought to our attention was not by the dollar amount, but rather by the number of donations per person. That’s where they messed up. But my question is, if these people whose names are on the FBC report are not making these donations, who is where’s the money coming from?”
Higbie concluded by highlighting the potential national security risk, stating, “We can have all the voter ID laws we want, but if hundreds of millions of dollars are flowing in to influence our elections, and we don’t know from who, not only is it a gross violation of election laws, it’s a huge national security risk.”
As Higbie pointed out, 52 complaints have been filed in Wisconsin alone, yet Democrats have refused to add these complaints to the agenda items for the appropriate meetings. “Democrats should be super okay with an investigation into this, but their silence is deafening. When I tell you Democrats are a machine, this is the kind of stuff I’m talking about.”

It would be helpful if people could verify their alleged contributions. I visited their website yesterday to determine if any contributions have been made in my name. I was not able to verify this information on their website. I left an e-mail message but if there is another way to verify this, I would appreciate knowing.
There is nothing democratic about the Democrat party.
It’s not about the will of the voters with the dems. It’s all about control of the people and the resources.
