So ...

Let's say Congress dishes out some free money to Ukraine.

Some Ukrainian "official" says, "Hey, we got some extra cash laying around, let's invest it!"

He invests it into a hedge fund.

Hedge fund is not really in the business of making money, but of laundering it. Is that why a Ukrainian bank was a key element of the Hunter Biden story?

That hedge fund (crypto or regular) "donates" some of its money (cuz it doesn't really care about profits) to NGO's, who are not required to disclose who their "donors" are (even if it is just one donor).

Then, those NGO's, have a list of people who donated to the NGO, and they use "mule donations" to politicians and/or their closely-associated Political Action Committees.

The "mules" are regular joes and janes who donated $5, but their name is used in hundreds or thousands of donations from the NGO to the politicians, amounting to thousands or millions of dollars.

As long as you have someone at the FEC looking the other way, you can launder tax money from Congress to foreign aid to investment firms to public charities and right back to the politicians who buy their re-elections with taxpayer money.

That is the SYSTEM they have put into place.

Even more effective if they can manipulate election machines and the people who are supposed to oversee elections.
