Rep. Louie Gohmert: RICO Should Be Used to Fight Leftist Crime Wave
Breitbart ^ | June 25 | Louie Gohmert

Posted on 06/25/2020 8:42:22 AM PDT by RandFan

This nation has never been perfect and even embraced the atrocity of slavery, but it has continued to improve, sometimes dramatically, throughout our history, and has continued to sacrifice like no other nation to liberate others in the world.

Now, however, there are those who want to destroy the only form of government that allows the kind of self-improvement we have made. Many have peacefully protested for good reason, but those who have taken the injustice sparks and fanned them into the burning our country need to answer for their crimes.

There are those who had organized, raised money from unknown sources in order to take advantage of an injustice and use it to create a new Bolshevik or Marxist revolution. That would lead us into an Orwellian, totalitarian government where God is denied, except the god of a dictatorial government.

He is indeed.

Too bad there’s only him, Jordan, and Doug Collins standing up...

It should and must start with the media propaganda arm of the DNC. They are a undocumented contribution to the DNC. These contributions should be limited by campaign finance reform. Else, our laws mean nothing.

There are very few in the House you can really trust in my opinion. In fact you count them on one hand!

I also like Gaetz from Florida.

I have been demanding this for weeks ?

Where is the DOJ ?

Barr called Antifa a terrorist group then act .
And BLM to that list after that leader threatened mass destruction on video.

Stop being WHIMS !

The government should freeze or seize all of the assets of any individual or entity, domestic or foreign that provides funding, directly or indirectly for BLM, Antifa and all other anti-American anarchist and neo-Marxist terrorist groups.

There is no law in America any more. Rather, there is a tyranny of lawyers who twist it beyond recognition to obtain the means to their America destroying ends.

How do we distinguish the good lawyers from the tyrants?

It’s time to revive the House Committee on Un-American Activities with Louie Gohmert as Chair.

In addition, any mayor and city council who orders the police to stand down while savages damage property should be prosecuted under RICO.

Of course. That goes without saying. The committee should never have been abolished in 1974.

I'd also like to see the revival of its counterpart, the Senate Internal Security Committee, with Ted Cruz as Chair.

Pathetic, isn’t it? Criminal, even.

The words “Oily Weasel” come to mind, with that pic...

Yep! Too little to late...pandora’s box has been opened...our home grown and imported terrorists cell groups have been emboldened by our own government reps. While the deep swamp creatures were to occupied fighting the president with their Russian and Ukraine impeachment hoaxes, the enemy was planning our destruction on every American citizen and our country! The FBI, CIA etc....sold us out, they didn’t care a wit about our national security and safety!! These bastards will pay in the long run because of their power hungry greedy carelessness asses THEIR FAMILIES TOO won’t be exempt from the evil grip that will befall us as a nation from these terrorists musters!!

He’s right about this.

Track down all of the university faculty that’s been online crowing for years about their material support for ANTIFA and go after them with RICO.
