Why exactly are you attempting to politicize this, when it is clearly not political. Political contributions from some of those indicted: The contributions were made to both Democratic and Republican candidates and committees. The contributions included: At least $135,525 to the Democratic National Committee At least $131,800 to committees benefiting or controlled by then-presidential candidate and current U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) At least $73,600 to the Republican National Committee At least $30,000 to committees benefiting Gavin Newsom At least $25,000 to the Kamala Harris Senate Committee and the committee for her California attorney general candidacy At least $16,900 to committees benefiting or controlled by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) $8,350 to the National Republican Campaign Committee $8,350 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee This was definitely a "bi-partisan effort." 😀

Unfortunately as only a moderator I do not have access to administrative tools that may make such research easier. Better would be direct access to the forum database backend, but that is out of the question.
