Rep. Andy Biggs to hold special order on House floor to find out who's been funding recent riots
2020-09-18
[Fox] Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., plans to hold a special order on the House floor Wednesday, to allow several congressional members to speak about recent rioting in the U.S. and the possible sources of funding behind them.

Biggs' office said he will host the special order following the last votes of the day and speakers are expected to include: Reps. Ken Buck, R-Colo., Chip Roy, R-Texas, Dan Bishop, R-N.C., and Louie Gohmert R-Texas, along with several others.

"It will be about law and order and attacks on police in neighborhood communities," Biggs told Fox News during a phone interview.

"We will be allowed to control time on the floor and we’re going to have a series of members come and speak to these issues," he said. "We should be able to go [for] a full hour. It’s going to be a good group — a diverse group of speakers. It’s from all over the conference. They’ll all bring their own perspectives from their own districts and responses to what’s going on."

#9  I think Vespasian Ebboting9735 is right. In the days after George Floyd I heard donations to BLM went through the roof and they have a huge war chest.

I think Antifa is funded by trust fund kids and Soros.

So it gets down to which riots and rioters?

#7  A clean sweep in the House, Senate and Potus would clean up a lot of problems.

#6  #1 What Besoeker said. Also Rep. Biggs has a good idea. I'd hope Barr's task forces are looking into such things. If the Pubs don't make a sweep, none of this will go anywhere.

Heard very little from Wray about all this other than he thinks white supremacists are the biggest domestic problem. What-an-out-to-lunch sort of guy. Pubs need to win the House so this guy can be replaced.

#5  Since BLM admits to having $1.4B in cash reserves, I don't see any reason for a Congressional investigation. Not that it's going to happen anyway. BLM is paying for itself. Since it's a 501C3 donations should be documented. Additionally, many American Corporations have recently announced donations. If Rep. Biggs wants more info he can go to https://capitalresearch.org/article/the-organizational-structure-of-black-lives-matter/

#4  Or we could put Dron with one of the protest organizers, then another, and another.

#3  If only there was some sort of federal investigative department with all those capabilities for surveiling American citizens (those who break the law please)...

Maybe there could be a set of judges who decide when the evidence is good enough to look at an individual in detail...

#2  A congressional inquiry into this is about the least effective way to get the information.

To do the job requires a lot of lawyers, computer specialists, financial experts, etc. Even then it would have to be well organized and led and requires some inside sources who know the players.

#1  Bridge to nowhere unless pubs take back the house.
