Bill to stop $40M from going to Taliban every week blocked by Senate staffer, Rep Burchett says We're $38 trillion in debt. We're sending over $40 million a week to the Taliban. And the United States Congress doesn't have the guts to stop it. That's pathetic. Let's fix it." Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) says Senate insiders are derailing his legislation that will end the flow of American taxpayer dollars to the Taliban - saying there's a high-level staffer with deep ties to the Taliban blocking the bill. $40 million in weekly cash shipments to Kabul continue to happen, even though the US has a $38 trillion national debt. #kabul Burchett's "No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act" which mandates the State Department cleared the House back in June. However, the bill is stuck in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee - with Burchett accusing former Special Representative for Afghanistan Tom West as the one blocking the bill. "His name is Tom West. And apparently, our good friend Tulsi Gabbard and the Trump administration denied him his security clearance because of his alleged cozy relationship with the Taliban." "That's why they're stopping the bill." West served as the Biden administration's point man on Afghanistan negotiations and was briefly floated for ambassador. He has faced scrutiny for his backchannel dealings with Taliban leaders during the Doha talks. As Director of National Intelligence, Gabbard reportedly flagged West's connections and stripped his clearance earlier this year. Facts: Since H.R. 260's House passage, about $800 million in additional U.S. money has reached Afghanistan. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) and Foreign Relations Chairman Jim Risch (R-ID) have yet to schedule a vote. Burchett warned that the cash empowers Taliban atrocities, including attacks on American allies and potential strikes on U.S. soil. " "They will hate us for free. All they're going to do is use that money to come at us... and kill Americans." With 60 votes needed for cloture, Burchett urged constituents to flood Senate offices: "You got to have 60 votes over there to pass a bill of this significance. And that's the holdup. Call your senator... If it's a Republican, I hope they haul them out of here in chains. And a Democrat as well." Since the Biden-Harris disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, more than $5 billion has been sent to the Taliban. via https://www.facebook.com/ChristinaAguayoNews/posts/pfbid0KYR9sDVojWNrqFK7UtaejzpidyMXfwUp82bJyenaTQFBgCmGArkg2ezxCMbMJp2Zl
