Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) called on Monday for a Committee on Foreign Investment investigation into Saudi Arabian investors in Twitter in the wake of Elon Musk’s takeover.

“Today I am requesting the Committee on Foreign Investment — which reviews acquisitions of U.S. businesses by foreign buyers — to conduct an investigation into the national security implications of Saudi Arabia’s purchase of Twitter,” Murphy wrote.

Why don't you go BEEP yourself Chris.

They scared…it’s all coming out Libs!

[MCSETots]

Gee, let’s not forget about FaceBook, TicToc, Instagram, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, NPR . . .

Elon Musk paid %27 Billion out of the $44 Billion price from his own pocket,
What does Murphy have to say about that?

[DarthVader]

He needs to start to worry what information some have on himself!

[SmokingJoe]

%27 Billion = $27 Billion

Well, if the national security review finds a serious security problem, I guess it is too late. The deal is done. Where were they when the deal was in the offing?

[ProudDeplorable]

This guy Murphy is such a punk.

acquisitions of U.S. businesses by foreign buyers

Let's have hearings on foreign buyers acquisition and majority control of the biden clan first.

[Flaming Conservative]

Ok. Then let’s go after YOUR investors and investments, Chris.

[Gaffer]

Sure, Chris. WE can do (in January) after we’ve won and looked into all the foreign donations made to the Ubama Campaign.

[circlecity]

And don’t forget Mexican Carlos Slim - the controlling shareholder in The NY Times.

[ridesthemiles]

WHO Obama bought all those ‘free’ Obama phones from——

NOT from AMERICAN suppliers-——

[semimojo]

No one is more committed to free speech than the Saudis.

[vivenne]

Now he asks for an investigation? So transparent.

[Political Junkie Too]

Twitter is a national security risk? Who knew?

[joshua c]

that will teach musk to go against the narrative

fedgov wants to cancel him

[DoughtyOne]

I guess he wants the corner on Chinese donations for the
DNC.

[Tallguy]

Good luck getting that committee approved in the next senate, Chris.

Sounds like he’s worried about censorship and manipulation coming to Twitter. No wait, they already had that and the dems passionately defended it. So he’s worried about the lack of censorship and manipulation?
