ActBlue Fraud, Swalwell Spy Scandal, and Tipping Culture Backlash | 08-18-26

from Liberty Roundtable Podcast · host Sam Bushman

ActBlue has raised $19 billion for Democratic campaigns since 2004, yet Congressional investigations and fraud allegations have produced zero accountability. On this episode of Liberty Roundtable, hosts Sam and James break down the ActBlue fundraising scandal, the declassified FBI files on Eric Swalwell and Chinese spy Christine Fang Fang, and why neither political party will touch the corruption. The discussion covers how ActBlue and its Republican counterpart WinRed function as party-sanctioned payment processors that both sides protect from scrutiny. Sam and James also examine newly declassified FBI files detailing how suspected Chinese intelligence officer Christine Fang Fang used sex, campaign donations, and placed interns in Swalwell's office to influence American politics. The conversation then shifts to Tina Peters being hired as an election fraud consultant in Shasta County, California, before closing with a look at the growing backlash against tipping culture and rising grocery costs.
