Nevada Politician Calls for Federal Agencies to Work Together in Fighting “Domestic Terrorists” Sigal Chattah is the Republican National Committeewoman for the great state of Nevada and an attorney in Las Vegas since 2002. In her most recent op-ed published in the Nevada Globe, she calls for federal law enforcement agencies such as the FBI and DOJ, etc, to work together in targeting “domestic terrorists” who aid foreign enemies. Her opinion is related to recent legislation in Congress H. R. 9495 called the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act. That legislation was blocked by Democrats in the House of Representatives in November. As expected it’s become a partisan fight as the Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (MO-08) issued the following statement in response on the Ways and Means Congressional website: “Before he even takes the oath of office, Democrats are wasting no time using President Trump as an excuse to oppose common sense, bipartisan solutions. The Democrats’ attacks against this legislation ring particularly hollow given that this bill passed with unanimous support through the Ways and Means Committee on two separate occasions and includes policies already approved with broad bipartisan support in the House of Representatives earlier this year by an overwhelming margin of 382-11. This shameful partisan play only sets back efforts to halt the abuse of America’s tax code by terrorist organizations, and it furthers the abuse suffered by Americans held hostage by terrorist groups or foreign governments who Democrats just voted to continue punishing for tax bills they could not pay while in captivity. Going forward, I encourage our Democrat colleagues to put the defense of our nation and the needs of American taxpayers first.” Critics state that the legislation could be used by the federal government to target nonprofit organizations who speak out against government policies and the Trump administration and is too broad. However, with Republicans taking control of Washington after the election, it may be reintroduced. The full opinion piece is posted here in the photos. What are your thoughts on this?
