(CNN) The House select committee is setting its sights on the financing behind events and people associated with January 6, CNN has learned, including money that funded pro-Trump "Stop the Steal" rallies that preceded the attack on the Capitol that day, in an effort to determine whether any election law violations or financial crimes took place.
The Democratic-led panel is focused in part on understanding how event organizers and vendors were paid, and how the two rallies were funded, according to multiple sources familiar with the investigation, including some who have been interviewed by the committee. Investigators also want to know if any funding came from domestic extremists or foreign sources, sources say.
As the committee moves forward with its sweeping probe of January 6, among the many new details CNN has learned is that the committee has divided its work into at least five investigative teams, each with their own color designation.
The 'green' team, for example, is tasked with tracking money, including the funding behind the rallies, as well as untangling the complex web of financial ties between rally organizers and entities affiliated with former President Donald Trump or his campaign, according to multiple sources.

(2,570 posts)2. I keep looking for evidence there is some kind of investigation into the billionaire backers
partnered up with the Republican party, now entirely controlled by conservatives so extreme they want to dump the U.S. Constitution and start over with one minus the listed individual rights, an investigation into a long running effort to overturn the U.S. Constitution entirely.
And wonder what can be done to stop it and why the media is so silent about how it is currently all but imminent.
