Tuesday, June 28: U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson issues the following statement:
“Many in the press, public and online bloggers are misinterpreting the statement I issued on Friday, June 24, 2016, in support of the five-year-old victim of an assault in Twin Falls, Idaho, and in support of the law enforcement authorities there who are prosecuting the case. The statement was not intended to and does not threaten to arrest or prosecute anyone for First Amendment protected speech.
I issued the statement because public officials in Twin Falls have received threats. Certain threatening or harassing communications may violate federal law and will be investigated. I am also concerned that intentionally false and inflammatory rumors are creating an unsafe environment in Twin Falls. In this case, it appears that the threats have resulted from false and inflammatory information spread about this crime, often times by those from outside of the community. I encourage all to be patient while the juvenile justice system works. I also encourage all to support this victim and her family.”

“I am also concerned that intentionally false and inflammatory rumors are creating an unsafe environment in Twin Falls.”
WHAT?
An attempt to make it appear it’s a plot by white supremacists. This smear was posed by the town council at their meeting.
Maybe they got so much blowback, he had to walk it back. 😀
These Islamophiles need to be kicked out of office.
If this 'juvenile justice' case is really the result of Obama's unconstitutional refugee policy then the public must be allowed to expose it.
If these 'juveniles' are here illegally then they have no rights and their names and addresses can and should be published and whatever happens to their families (hopefully intimidated into self-deporting) is OK by me.
At least.
They need to be hauled off, tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail.
Backpedaling in warp drive.
Looks like a clear attempt to chill free speech to me.
Really?
“in support of the five-year-old victim of an assault in Twin Falls, Idaho”
How is that, by letting the Muslim scum walk free next door to the victims with zero repercussions? I’d like to see this black-robed tyrant swinging from the nearest tall branch.
“Feds won’t prosecute matters of free speech...”
Well, that’s mighty understanding of them...
Chilling.
That was soooo last week.
This week, she gets all constitutional and stuff.
Wants a pat on her head for not blaming the victim.

Sorry, it’s late.
The U.S. attorney looks like Pete Rose.
As I said in another thread, there are people there who I know very well who are not quoted, not asked for their opinions, ignored, and whose public utterances are stifled in the name of the “Greater Good”, which is apparently, in the eyes of the federal government, that sex abuse of a five-year-old is just one of those prices the oppressive middle class is going to have to pay in the name of social justice. It is a decidedly minority opinion but that minority is holding the reins of power for the moment. That may turn out to be a bumpy ride.
Nobody misunderstood anything Wendy said. Nobody.
