House Republicans have made clear their intention to investigate the Biden family\u2019s business dealings, the president\u2019s handling of classified documents, the border crisis, and federal mismanagement of the coronavirus relief program.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats\u2019 collusion with the Congressional Integrity Project contradicts party leaders\u2019 insistence that dark money has undue influence on Washington, D.C. For example, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D., Calif.), who took part in a press call with the Congressional Integrity Project this week, <a href=\"https:\/\/swalwell.house.gov\/media-center\/in-the-news\/john-mccain-left-roadmap-lets-honor-him-following-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lamentable<\/a> This is 2018 &#8220;a flood of dark money is poisoning our democracy, letting deep-pocketed special interests prevent Congress from acting even on issues upon which we agree.&#8221; Biden stated that &#8220;dark money erodes public trust.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although the Congressional Integrity Project was launched in 2020, it does not reveal the identities of its ultimate donors. However, tax filings show that almost all its money comes from the Sixteen Thirty Fund. This left-wing group is known as the &#8220;indisputable heavyweight of Democratic dark money.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to tax forms, the Sixteen Thirty Fund gave $1.5 Million to the Congressional Integrity Project from 2020. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/sixteen-thirty-fund-congressional-integrity-project-dark-money\">By the <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/sixteen-thirty-fund-congressional-integrity-project-dark-money\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Washington Examiner<\/em><\/a> This was last year. According to the Congressional Integrity Project, that amount of revenue was also reported by them. <a href=\"https:\/\/congressionalintegrity.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020-990.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tax<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/congressionalintegrity.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021-990.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Filings<\/a> Reviewed by the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The Sixteen Thirty Fund doesn&#8217;t disclose its donors. However, some of its supporters have made it public about their support for the group. According to its grants, George Soros, a billionaire Democratic donor, has made contributions to the Sixteen Thirty Fund of $24,930,000 in 2021. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensocietyfoundations.org\/grants\/past?filter_keyword=Sixteen%20Thirty%20Fund&#038;page=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Database<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Although the Congressional Integrity Project can&#8217;t be found out where its funds came from, it is clear about its purpose of undermining Republican investigations.<\/p>\n<p>Brad Woodhouse is a senior adviser to the group and a veteran Democratic strategist. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/11\/16\/democratic-strategists-launch-war-room-00065498\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a> Last year, they &#8220;will exploit every tactic available&#8221; to impede the Republican probes. &#8220;It\u2019s not enough to wait and see what they\u2019re going to do and how far they\u2019re going to go.&#8221; Woodhouse, who attended a White House meeting with a group of Democratic operatives in September, recently told CNN that the group\u2019s role is &#8220;to go on offense&#8221; Against Republicans<\/p>\n<p>In recent weeks, the Congressional Integrity Project released a series of press releases as well as research reports that portray Congressmen James Comer (R. Ky.) and Jim Jordan, (R. Ohio), as hypocrites regarding the issues they will be investigating in Biden&#8217;s investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is investigating Biden\u2019s family business dealings, with a focus on Hunter Biden\u2019s activities in China. He is also investigating the federal government\u2019s coronavirus relief program, which reportedly disbursed billions of dollars in fraudulent federal loans. Jordan, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, is turning his attention to the Biden administration\u2019s handling of the border crisis. He has also sought records from the Justice Department on Biden\u2019s handling of classified documents.<\/p>\n<p>An example of the Congressional Integrity Project\u2019s opposition research came this week in a hit piece on Comer. The group <a href=\"https:\/\/congressionalintegrity.org\/shot-chaser-comers-so-called-covid-investigations-should-start-by-looking-in-the-mirror\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Indicted<\/a> Comer of hypocrisy in his investigation of billions of dollars in fraudulent coronavirus relief payments, because the congressman\u2019s brother received a $12,000 loan under the pandemic-era Paycheck Protection Program. While Comer\u2019s brother is not accused of misusing the loan, the Congressional Integrity Project claimed without evidence that Comer had &#8220;padded his brother\u2019s pockets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have examined fraud in the Paycheck Protection Program. However, they have also claimed that the program was required because of government-mandated lockdowns on businesses during the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>The Congressional Integrity Project, the White House, and Swalwell\u2019s office did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Congressional Integrity Project collects opposition research to investigate the Biden family.
