AP Photo/Alex Brandon Maybe Terry McAuliffe pulls off a victory in the blue state of Virginia on Tuesday, but the gubernatorial candidate has not had a good month. It’s been one self-inflicted wound after another. Yesterday, in what I believe was likely a coordinated smear , employees of the Virginia Democrat Party got caught posing as white supremacist supporters of Republican Glenn Youngkin.
Then there were the accusations of racism , the doubling down on trashing concerned parents , and McAuliffe’s attempt to kill a damaging story showing his campaign paid money to election conspiracy kook Marc Elias . I could keep going, but I won’t — while noting that there are several more examples of such strategic brilliance occurring in just the last week.
Now, another big story has broken. McAuliffe’s campaign appears to have possibly taken $350,000 from a foreign entity. Further, that company is linked to a money-laundering scheme. New today from @AlanaGoodman : Watchdog Hits @TerryMcAuliffe With Campaign Finance Complaint Over Foreign Contributions Campaign took $350k from foreign-owned company linked to money laundering https://t.co/SlYdtW5kap — Washington Free Beacon (@FreeBeacon) October 30, 2021 “Terry McAuliffe has a history of accepting foreign contributions. The FEC must fully investigate these serious charges that he accepted $350,000 in illegal foreign contributions for his current campaign,” said Washington, D.C. attorney, Paul Kamenar, counsel to NLPC, who drafted and filed the complaint with the FEC. LycaTel LLC, owned by Sri Lankan-British national Allirajah Subaskaran, gave McAuliffe $350,000 in July, the Free Beacon first reported in early October. The company is a New Jersey subsidiary of Subaskaran’s U.K.-based telecom conglomerate, which boasts a complicated web of offshore businesses and has been the subject of tax-fraud and money-laundering charges in France. Whether this is actually illegal or just extremely unethical would depend on what an actual investigation finds, and we all know there won’t be one, because this is a Democrat we are talking about. The donation could be legal if the American-based subsidiary gave the money without any direction from its foreign leadership. That’s a very gray area, though, and one ripe for abuse. […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
