#2495 - Tim Burchett
"What's happened is that money that you're sending over there is coming back in the form of dark money. And I think both parties are involved with it at some point. I think the Democrats have had the had a run of it and they've got it pretty much closed. They've got a pretty good market going on it, in my opinion."
Tim Burchett explained a money laundering operation where U.S. tax dollars sent to Afghan NGOs are funneled back to America as untraceable dark money for political campaigns. He claims over 1,000 NGOs operate in Afghanistan, with initial seed money from billionaires legitimizing them before federal dollars flow through. The laundered funds return to influence U.S. elections through anonymous PAC contributions.
