Fox News says this information came to light thanks to another whistleblower whose identity is being kept secret.

“The complaint, which was filed last week and obtained by Fox News, alleged the donations from roughly 6,000 individuals ‘clearly constitute’ gifts to a current intelligence official that may be restricted because of the employee’s official position pursuant to 5 CFR 2635.203 and other statutes,” Fox News reported.
“To date, the GoFundMe has raised over $227,000,” the report noted. The goal is set at $300,000.
A new complaint says the Ukraine “whistleblower” violated federal law by soliciting illegal donations.
Roughly 6,000 mostly anonymous individuals donated over $227,000 to his GoFundMe account.
In other words, he’s being paid off by the Deep State exactly how Christine Ford was.

“The complaint also raised the possibility that some of the donations may have come from prohibited sources, and asked the ICIG to look into whether any ‘foreign citizen or agent of a foreign government’ contributed,” Fox News added.
Fox News reported these new allegations by the second whistleblower on Tuesday night and host Sean Hannity also discussed these new revelations on his syndicated radio program.
President Donald Trump’s campaign did not hesitate to seize on this news.
“BREAKING NEWS: New ICIG complaint alleges the partisan “whistleblower” is soliciting illicit donations from a GoFundMe page,” Team Trump tweeted. “Donations may have come from prohibited sources, such as foreign citizens or foreign governments!”
“STOP THE COUP!” the tweet ended

Law firm Tully Rinckey PLLC represents the second whistleblower and is closely guarding the identity of their client.
“I have not seen anything on this scale,” managing partner of Tully Rinckey PLLC, Anthony Gallo said to Fox News regarding the fundraising. “It’s not about politics for my client — it’s whistleblower-on-whistleblower, and [my client’s] only interest is to see the government ethics rules are being complied with government-wide.”

Indeed. But will Democrats care as much about potential lawbreaking regarding these new allegations as they do pursuing impeachment? We already know the answer to that question.
The GoFundMe is suspect at the very least. The Federalist’s Sean Davis raised a good point on Twitter Tuesday.
“Seems like this would be an easy way for foreign agents to buy off shady U.S. intelligence officials: who needs risky bribes, handoffs, and peer-to-peer paper trails when you can just hire lawyers to set up a GoFundMe to anonymize your cash flows?” Davis tweeted.

The first, reportedly anti-Trump, whistleblower’s attorneys called the GoFundMe a way to “help support the Intelligence Community Whistleblower [to] raise funds,” and the GoFundMe page itself states that “A U.S. intelligence officer… needs your help” in the form of a “crowdfunding effort to support the whistleblower’s lawyers.”
Yeah, we aren’t buying it either.

Heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from another
The moronic socialist should be arrested ASAP, placed into chains and all assists should be frozen and sentenced to 50 years in prison at hard labor.
It’s like cracker-jacks, a mystery prize in every box
It’s high time this Democrat circus rolled out of Town. Mystery whistleblower, What next?
Of course. And a book deal! Another shipload of books shipped to Venezuela to use as TP. Written off taxes as humanitarian aid.
well well well, looks like The Sainted Fake Whistle Blower has a quid pre quo.
There is always a reward for a corrupt Dem and this is why they can always find a fall guy or woman to do their dirty work.
So Clinton failed too, big deal. I’m not saying other people’s illegal crap makes up for someone else’s illegal crap. That’s just distraction to make someone else not look so bad. In my book, “two wrongs don’t make a right.” Send them both to jail, preferably the same cell with a camera in it so we can watch and listen to what they have to say to each other. They’ll probably both talk about all the fun and sex they had with Epstein’s girls. Probably be better than any “reality TV” show ever!…LOL
What happened in President Trump business past is not up for discussion.. Oh and I noticed you failed to mention CLINTON FAILED UNIVERSITY .. AND BY THE WAY.. does all Universities milk ordinary people out of their hard earned money when 1/2 their graduates CANNOT FIND JOBS AFTER THE HAVE LEFT SAID UNIVERSITIES? NO OF COURSE NOT.. AND BY THE WAY.. THE CASE OF TRUMP UNIVERSITY.. THE student who filed the suit dropped out.. but the CORRUPT JUDGE APPOINTED BY OBAMA went on with the case.. and EVERYONE AND THEIR UNCLE KNEW THE JUDGE WOULD FIND TRUMP GUILTY.. BECAUSE THE JUDGE WAS CORRUPTED BY OBAMA.
We here in the USA have things called “contracts” Boris, and these help determine people’s varying responsibilities in the event a company fails. People afraid of losing money are not required to invest; businesses providing services for which they are afraid they will not be paid can buy something called “insurance.”
I know, is very different from how you are simply told by fearless leader to do thinks in old country.
Is also true Republicans cannot seem to find backside with both hands. Had I, while flying supersonic jets, done just once accidentally what Comrade Clinton did daily as a matter of policy, I would have been in prison for ten years. That she remains free with neck still attached shows much corruption in both parties.
Well, I know one of my responses was deleted, but no matter. Using your logic, I guess you think it’s okay for a businessman to have 6 bankruptcies and keep all their money, while others suffer? You can play the “statistics” game all you want want, but they involve human beings that are not just numbers. In business, if you do enough dealings with someone, they become your close friend, albeit a business friend . I’ve heard Trump has even dealt with the Mafia in his real-estate transactions. I’m also not a big fan of Hillary, as you suggest, but sometimes a choice is “the lesser of two evils.” As far as “indictments are coming,” I’ll have to see it to believe it. So far, the Republicans are just a bunch of “blow-hards” that can’t seem to formulate any proper or successful investigations.
No, I still see the comment you posted to which I replied. It illustrated how ignorant you are about running businesses. A 5% bankruptcy rate in venture capital real estate is actually excellent.
You have a strange definition of “close friends.” Manafort barely knew Trump, and his crime was investigated twice before and rejected for prosecution until he became associated with President Trump. Flynn committed no actual crime, but was entrapped in hopes he would bear false witness against Trump. Count on that getting overturned. What’s left is a sleazy lawyer who got himself involved with a scam Trump has nothing to do with. So sad.
I’m sure all these fantasies help you deal with your grief over Hillary’s epic beat-down, but you’d best get over it fast. Indictments are coming, and they are likely to crush what little remains of your spirit if you are still grieving for the Hildebeast.
I think you’re replying to a comment of mine that got deleted. I don’t understand why these sites do that when I don’t even use foul language. Oh well, most of Trump’s “goons” that were charged and convicted were close friends, not some low guy on the totem pole. We’ll see next election if he survives.
The man owned over a hundred businesses. By your standards a person would need to be omniscient and omnipotent to insure not one employee committed a crime in his organization. In other words, you are applying impossible standards to rationalize your insane hatred.
Dont worry, he will leave in only five more years.
Yes, both sides have crooked politicians, that’s not news. I will say the Dems are outdoing themselves lately and the Republicans are sitting back watching them do it. Dirty politics, drain that swamp. Drain it dry.
Your statistics are skewed and biased. Economics is like a roller coaster, and we just went through a major recession caused by people like Trump who take advantage of the legal system. I am not jealous of millionaires, just ones that got their money from daddy and had to take 6 bankruptcies to keep it. Self made millionaires like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Warren Buffett, I did and do admire. Trump does not represent the common man, and will only take advantage and manipulate them for his own agenda.
Of course Epstein didn’t kill himself. He’s still alive. Evil never dies
Another math impaired lefty unable to grasp economics. Trump had about a 5% bankruptcy rate, considered quite good for his line of work.
i know you’re jealous because he is rich and famous and President and Hillary lost and Epstein didn’t kill himself, but really… It’s been three years of grieving, time to move on.
…but he did. Thank for all the caps, it certainly makes your point more accurate.
If the regular Joe couldn’t do it.. NEITHER COULD TRUMP.. THE LIES OF THE LEFT KEEP INCREASING THE # OB BANKRUPTCIES.. but that is legal because of the CORRUPTED DEMOCRAT PARTY..
Well, it should be after 6 times!… but I’m sure most of these bankruptcy laws were lobbied by the rich and elite to protect themselves from loosing their millions of dollars. A regular “Joe” could never file bankruptcy that many times and keep their money. Probably be homeless on the street begging for money by then. Trump didn’t just want to license his name for the university, he wanted to own it and was a 93% majority owner. I’m sorry, even if he had just licensed his name, in my book he’s just as responsible for the outcome. As far as finding out past crimes, I’m sure Trump has paid off enough people with his wealth to prevent any serious crimes to come out, but we shall see. I don’t believe that just Democrats are crooked, I’d say it’s probably evenly split between the two parties. See, I was able to respond to you without calling you a “dolt.” That’s what’s wrong with many people nowadays, they just can’t refrain from name calling and be civilized.
Bankruptcy is not criminal dolt. Trump U was not run bu Trump, he just licensed his name.
You are right though, let’s get real crooks. And, if some day in 30 years you ever find an actual crime committed by Trump, I say hey let’s prosecute him too. Meanwhile we have over 200 crooked Democrats staging a coup every day and it’s time they all went to the gallows.
So what, Trump filed bankruptcy six times and ran a scam Trump University to milk ordinary people out there hard earned money, just so he can keep his billions and line his pockets with somebody else’s money. Hey, let’s face it, they’re all crooks, but I’d rather get the crook in position of president out first and then concentrate on the smaller ones. I don’t care about their political affiliation, a crook is a crook no matter what political party they are in. Now that’s what I call being bi-partisan!
Yes especially for baggy pants shysters and ambulance chasers.
See folks crime does pay
They’ll probably make the “whistleblower” donate it all to the DNC, seeing as how their funds are low…………..compared to how much and how easily POTUS gets campaign money. Dems are just sore losers……..at everything apparently.
It’s all smoke and mirrors, they want you to watch this impeachment farce. Look over here, not there. Buying time to cover their tracks. Info online is already being scrubbed. Screenshots
Shiftless isn’t that smart, you need to start looking at J. brennan, J.Clapper, J. Comney, and that other spook, they were the ones that started the whole mess and they haven’t stopped, they are trying to short stop Bill Barr’s investigation before the gets enough to slam them down for good and the best way would to be to get rid of the president and vice president, then the sleezebag Pigloosi would be president and she could shut the whole thing down.
The money is going to Schiff because the whistle blower does not exist.
Schiff made up the whole thing and now can’t figure out how to get out of it.
We the taxpayers are taking the hit for this Demo. public spectacle. Our President is not perfect but he doesn’t deserve this B.S.
Not a coincidence.
Yes, but why have they gone so crazy? They are in frenzy mode. This can’t be about Trump, there is something more. Pelosi has been jet setting to Europe more than anyone is talking about. Why the need to speak directly to someone? Can’t trust phone call, text, email, letter, courier?
YES… LOOK behind the curtain of the democrat party .. who allow illegal aliens to vote.. to hold offices in California.. THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HAVE ALL GONE MAD…
What are they trying to hide from the public with this craziness? Look behind the curtain
Is it now an offense to suggest that Adam Schiff and other numerous Democrats 102 elected reps have written glowing letters of support for CAIR an affiliate of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, And many are supporters of the democratic socialist party are ignoring American impeachment rules which required Nixon be accused by the Supreme Court then resigned before the proceedings began, and Clinton who was accused of molesting Paula Jones a crime that lead to his impeachment by the lower House for perjury and obstruction. What is the crime here?
And is it coincidence that Hamas is attacking Israeli civilians with missiles in sync with the DNC’s search for a crime?
How is it wrong to ask?
Drain that swamp
A bit harsh. Maybe Trump will give them a pardon?
U.S. Code § 1623 Whoever under oath (or in any declaration, certificate, verification, or statement under penalty of perjury as permitted under section 1746 of title 28, United States Code) in any proceeding before or ancillary to any court or grand jury of the United States knowingly makes any false material declaration or makes or uses any other information, including any book, paper, document, record, recording, or other material, knowing the same to contain any false material declaration, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
The demos in this impeachment falls under title 18 U.S. code 1623.
Every one of the demo should be arrested and so charged.
Sorry but you can’t impeach them because they are the ones that are in charge of the impeachment process.
To get rid of this bunch of snakes it will require that a bunch of them have their head cut off and posted on a stick for all the rest to see, that might put a bit of fear in their privileged lives
I’m one of the people to figure this out when the whistleblower was first mentioned. I still say prosecute everyone involved including Pelosi, nadler, Clinton, Obama, and that snake Schiff. And the rest of th crooked Democrats. Impeach the lot of them .remove them from office and put them in jail where they belong
The average person has no idea how much a pro-bono Attorney really COSTS! He becomes a STAR when he represents a poor, secret, pre-planned victim! HOWEVER; there are ways to accommodate the needs of both! “Gofundme” is a ticket to riches with only a few phone calls! Become wealthy just sitting on your couch! Almost like the chain letters of old! Or PCH! Or playing the lottery for your retirement! There’s always a way to get graft for greed! Our Government is a case in point! Was formed to Govern from THIRD place! At the will and behest of the States at the will and behest of the PEOPLE! Took less than 1.5 century to frog hop over BOTH of us, now controls everything! Especially, POLITICS and Politicians!
Everyone reading this is shaking there heads, and none of us our surprised.
What he did as a private citizen with consenting adults has nothing to do with how the country is run! I don’t like it either, but he is NOW in charge of the country, and I like the job he’s doing! The Dems are guilty of crimes that effect the country! I couldn’t care less about what they do in their private lives either, but I do care about how they run the country, and so should you!
Thanks for using all caps, that really makes your point all that more accurate. Keep promoting “fake news” as Trump appreciates that. How about Trump bragging in a actual released recording about “kissing and grouping beautiful women” as he wishes because he’s some “star?”….or the pay off of a porn star Stormy Daniels to hide his affair? Look at all the people in Trump’s circle that have been prosecuted and/or fired, since he took office. All these things defended by the republicans and probably you too. Look, I’m not saying there isn’t corruption by the Dems, but it can be found equally on both sides of the table. We may or may not get a better president in office in 2020, but at the moment Trump is corrupt and not bringing this country together. If anything, he’s making it worse. He talks about “draining the swamp,” but he simple comes from a different part of the “swamp” and wants to take over and make it all his own, and I’m sure you’re “okay” with that.
Sorry you cannot repeat words to make the democrats look good.. They have been lying for 3 years now.. 3 democrats have been released from Congress for sexual misconduct.. One actually USED THE SUM OF $220,000 TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO PAY OFF HIS SEXUAL MISCONDUCT.. The Biden’s committed corruption while in office.. SO INSTEAD OF GOING AFTER THE REAL CORRUPTION YOU GO AFTER THE PRESIDENT FOR POINTING IT OUT.. Obama corrupted the FBI/CIA-OTHER INTELLIGENT AGENCIES.. but that is okay with you because they are democrats.. SAD DAY IN AMERICA WHEN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH CORRUPTION BECAUSE THEIR PARTY MEMBERS DO NOT DEMAND THEM TO FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION.

Ford showed the quickest way to make money is to deal in false allegations. It used to be called fraud, but if it serves the propaganda aims of the Democrats and liberals, it’s AOC. I mean AOK.
