Rep. Lance Gooden: Allow DOJ to Investigate China for Coronavirus Bioweapon
[Breitbart] Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) joined Tuesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow to discuss his proposed legislation to allow the Department of Justice to investigate China for potential release of a biological weapon reaching American soil.

Entitled the "Stop COVID Act to Hold China Accountable for Coronavirus Pandemic," Gooden’s proposed bill would amend the Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act to allow the Justice Department to investigate the origins of the coronavirus pandemic. The legislation would also grant jurisdiction to U.S. courts over the matter, allowing the Justice Department to file claims against the Chinese Communist Party in America.

Gooden explained, "The bill that I filed on Friday amends the Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act, which was passed in the 1970s that said you can’t sue a foreign government [and] can’t investigate a foreign government in American courts. This says with exception to bioweapons potentially being released that we can actually investigate ‐ the DOJ can investigate the origins of this virus ‐ and if it’s China that’s responsible for getting it here, then we’ll deal with that."

Gooden continued, "If it’s an accident and China is not at fault, maybe this really just was some freak nature event ‐ unlikely, but maybe it was ‐ then China still lied to us since day one about the deaths. We were underprepared, because China didn’t communicate how serious this was, and even last week they admitted that the death counts were off."

#1 DoJ investigaor John H. Durham should be wrapping up the FISA - Crossfire Hurricane investigation any day now. He'll be looking for something else to do. A COVID-19 origins 'deep dive' should take him through to retirement.

#3 Could have been a simple bombing exercise navigational error. It's been a few years, nearly 70 or so, but perhaps a Foreign Sovereign Immunity investigation is needed. After all, It could have all been our fault.

#4 They're still just PO's about the bombing of their embassy.
