Black Lives Matter is facing a rebellion within its own ranks as regional affiliates seek greater control over the movement and demand answers about where millions of dollars in donations have gone. After years of tensions between the national organization and local outlets, the rift went public this week with the release of a statement by 10 BLM chapters accusing the top brass at the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation of failing to open their books or share the wealth with the rank and file. “For years, there has been inquiry regarding the financial operations of BLMGN and no acceptable process of either public

Glad the FBI is in there getting ready of all sorts of criminal referrals to the local US attorney grand juries.

Can we get a "Tea Party" like audit from the IRS?? Something fishy about all those BLM donations going to Act Blue (Biden). Need transparency and need heads to roll!!

I looked into this a few months ago as well as Actblue and the rest. It's all public records that had to be filed by their non profit parent org.
Roughly 90% of reported donations to BLM went to "consultants and staff".
Just how many tens of millions of dollars does it take to start riots using Twitter and Facebook?

There are only two things on the up and up, professional wrestling and BLM.

Power, money. Sounds familiar even though good socialist/communist/democrats will tell you they have no interest in such things. Yeah, right. Asshats.

They should storm the homes of the two main ActBlue bundlers, who happen to be hardcore Democrat partisans, and WHITE
They are likely to find it's no where they'll ever find, and they were all used to install a "blue wave" which never materialized, but somehow enabled Biden to gain over 14 million more votes than Obama yet carry hundreds of fewer counties across the country.
Republicans should be asking similar questions. Agree, the IRS should investigate too.

Why should we expect a criminal enterprise whose funding is based on blackmail and ransom to ever behave with civility?

The sarcasm is strong today, LOL. Given all the historical examples of activist blacks shaking down corporations, jumping both feet first into any money making scam that crosses their path, are we in any way surprised that a new generation of grifters is now actively grabbing all the funds they can, while they can?

While corporations and donors are piously and stupidly handing over cash to BLM thinking they are paying off their sinning racist ways, these trained Marxist thugs are living well on the money and trying to shove their idiotic beliefs down America’s throat. Meanwhile the Antifa jackasses are trying to climb unto the gravy train. Then there are just everyday moronic liberals who join in because they love drama.

Being the greedy, money-hungry, power grabbing thugs that they are, this is to be expected. All leftists know how to do is tear up and tear down; they don't build; that's why Biden's build back better makes no sense. If they build anything, it's only to destroy. May they destroy each other thoroughly.

Where else but in America could three sexual perverts create a multibillion dollar shakedown poverty pimping organization?
Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are black with envy.

Since these idiots love communism so much, how about sending them to the Gulag in Siberia.

".... demand answers about where millions of dollars in donations have gone."
As Californian (#4) said: "Roughly 90% of reported donations to BLM went to "consultants and staff".
In other words, can you say "It Disappeared down RAT-holes"?

The Clinton Foundation financial team set up their accounting system patterned on the Haitian experience. Remember that nobody in that devastated country received a dime but Hillary's brother got a seat on a gold mining company

The commies shunted some of the money into the Harris (Biden) campaign and pocketed the rest. Who but a fool would think otherwise? FBI has no interest in the racketeering angle or in the highly organized and well-funded destruction they wrought in our cities; patriotic Boy Scouts they are, and proud we are in every one of them.
