Pressure mounts on Barr DOJ to identify funders, organizers of violent riots

[JUSTTHENEWS] Conservative pressure is mounting on Attorney General William Barr and his Justice Department to ratchet up investigations of ~~violent~~ mostly peaceful rioters across the country, specifically to identify those funding and organizing the mayhem.Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, made weekend appeals for DOJ to take action to cut off funding and logistical support for the groups of rioters that have terrorized and destroyed American cities for months.

"Law enforcement needs to look at the funding of ~~violent~~ mostly peaceful criminal activity like this. And national Democrats need to confront it. It’s organized. It’s paid for. It’s ~~violent~~ mostly peaceful. It’s not about Black lives or any lives; it’s about anarchy and destruction," Paul wrote in a Fox News op-ed on Saturday.

The Kentucky senator’s comments came after he and his wife was confronted by an angry mob in Washington DC while leaving President Trump’s nominating convention acceptance speech Thursday night.

Paul said some of activists ended up staying on the same floor of his hotel, furthering his concern for safety.

Buck tweeted his concerns on Sunday, saying it was time for DOJ to follow the money.

"The Justice Department needs to open an investigation into who is funding these ~~violent~~ mostly peaceful riots," Buck wrote.

#3 Attorney General William P. Barr Announces Updates on Operation Legend at Press Conference in Kansas City, Missouri | OPA | Department of Justice

Operation Legend results so far.

Barr is scooping up quite a few of the street thugs. Maybe this will lead to intelligence about the string pullers and money sources.

Blame many of the left-wing politicians who opened the prison doors to release criminals to the streets because of the corona virus.
