"Yes, Yes, And Yes": Bessent Signals Crackdown On Dark-Money NGO Protests 'Just Like We Did With The Mafia'

Christopher Rufo:

 

There are 501(c)(3) nonprofit groups that [are] funded by left-wing dark money, that are organizing—or at least at arm's length encouraging—criminal activities. Criminal protests. Criminal obstruction of federal officers, including ICE agents. Is the Treasury looking into this? Is it something you have authority to crack down on, and what can we expect?

 

Scott Bessent:

 

Yes, yes, and yes. So these groups that are engaging in this—we have the authority, and we are examining them. Because when you see these protesters, someone is financing them. There are safe houses. When you see the 300 people with the same laser that they're using to blind DHS agents in courthouses in Portland, someone bought those lasers.

 

And again, what we do is follow the money—just like we followed it with the mafia, just like we follow it. We'll find out who's done this.

 

I announced today that we are going to put in effect a whistleblower program. And my sense is that the rats will turn on each other.

 

As I believe you reported—or someone talked about in a roundtable—one of the Somali fraudsters tried to bribe a juror with $120,000. What turned out, she'd been given $200,000 to bribe the jurors, and she skimmed. It's like the scorpion—it's in their nature.
