Lawyer John E. Deaton expressed concerns over the impact of large monetary contributions, particularly crypto donations, on U.S. politics. His focus is on the involvement of major crypto figures.

Crypto Regulations and Political Influence

Deaton began his post by emphasizing the need to remove 'big money' from politics, citing Sam Bankman-Fried's $70 million donation during the 2022 midterms. Bankman-Fried primarily supported Democratic candidates and became one of the largest donors alongside George Soros. These revelations came to light during FTX's fraud trial.

Concerns of the Democratic Party

Some Democrats are calling for audits to trace the expenditure under the Biden administration. Senior lawmakers like Bernie Sanders and John Fetterman back Elon Musk's proposed spending cut plan, which targets inefficiencies in government programs.

Calls for Financial Transparency

Representative Ro Khanna supports Musk's call to reduce Pentagon spending, citing long-standing issues with inefficient defense contracts. Khanna noted that 'defense contractors have taken taxpayers for granted for too long.' This stance contrasts with the increase of IRS agents to scrutinize ordinary Americans.

Deaton emphasizes how political campaigns are becoming tools for financial manipulation, potentially impacting the democratic process.
