FBI Director Kash Patel told Just the News on Thursday that his agents are investigating the organizers and funders of anti-immigration enforcement protests for impeding law enforcement activities and endangering public safety.
"The FBI is investigating paid protest campaigns throughout the country including organizers, protesters and funding sources that drive illicit activities," Patel said.
His announcement came one day after a woman trying to block Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in Minneapolis struck an ICE agent with her car and was fatally shot while trying to flee arrest.
Patel's announcement follows Just the News reporting in recent days about Chinese state-run propaganda outlets promoting left-wing-leaning protests in the U.S. against the Trump administration’s capture Friday night of Venezuelan strongman President Nicolas Maduro.
The protests appear to be organized by a Chinese Communist Party-linked financial network in the United States.
Media outlets such as Xinhua News Agency, China Daily, China Global Television Network (CGTN), and the Global Times — all directly run by the CCP – in turn promoted the pro-Maduro protests organized by these same groups, as the Chinese government repeatedly denounced the actions taken by President Donald Trump against the close Chinese ally in Latin America.
The funders are now guilty of Felony Murder. They paid someone to commit felonies and that person died in the during the commission of those felonies.
Put the new Deputy Director on it.
This needs to be a full-court 24/7 press with law enforcement, PR and press conferences. Usually Republicans are lousy coordinating their message, they need to be on it full bore for this.
I can tell you right now with pretty accurate information.
The MN NGO who were scamming the system knew about all the DOJ investigation 4-6 months ago.
Many of them quit their jobs and went into hiding.
There is a serious LEAK in the DOJ.
About damn time...
hit them all with RICO charges
“The FBI is investigating...”
************
We hear this a lot.
Unfortunately for them, it's winter, so outdoor rioting is uncomfortably cold in Minnesota.
And the victim is white. A lesbian, but still, she's white. So it's a bit harder to entice blacks to riot over her.
OTOH, rioting is always fun and lucrative, and the state government has their back, so who knows how far they can take this?
In addition charging the funders of these “protests” with Felony Murder, I’d charge the illegal aliens who were being arrested with Felony Murder as well.
The D0J /FBI team seem pretty weak when it comes to cracking the AntiFa/Soros (allegedly) Rent a Mob Rioters capers. It’s almost as they are reticent to do so .
I suspect a bunch of Fibbers are loyal to Wray or whomever and not to Patel.
Hmmmm. Walz lived a couple of years is Communist China, and visited 30 times. And then, “Chinese Communist Party-linked financial network in the United States”...Is he the “Manchurian Candidate”?
A step in the right direction, but also see my tagline.
Funny they never “investigate” Gorge Soros.
THE EFFING ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM!
That is exactly Right!
Didn't this woman "just" moved there? Sounds like she was paid to help lead this anti ICE protest.
Thanks for the laugh - Kashless Patel investigating anything would be a major news story!
Kash, you may start with Tim Waltz and the mayor of Minneapolis.
The FBI needs to have accounts all the thrift stores so their agents can buy clothing to blend in with the crowd. Khakis and polo shirts are a dead giveaway.
Also, the reason it takes time to get agents assigned to the investigation is so they can grow their hair long
Not necessarily a leak. Once their records were subpoenaed, they’d know the jig was up and it was time to scoot.
