Biden Administration Drops Charges for Dozens of ANTIFA Rioters Who Laid Waste to Portland
Big League Politics ^ | 01/23/21 | Shane Trejo

Posted on 01/24/2022 3:42:42 AM PST by Enlightened1

The federal Department of Justice (DOJ) has dismissed cases for 31 ANTIFA thugs who were charged with crimes related to rioting in Portland, Ore.

Four defendants who were charged with felony assault of a federal officer had those charges dropped. More than half of the charges were “dropped with prejudice,” meaning that those cases cannot under any circumstances be brought up again in court.

Billy Williams, the U.S. Attorney for Oregon, claimed at the time there would be severe consequences against ANTIFA terrorists who committed wanton acts of destruction outside of the Mark O. Hatfield United States Courthouse throughout the summer of 2020.

“Make no mistake: those who commit violence in the name of protest, will be investigated, arrested, prosecuted, and face prison time,” Williams stated in a Sept. 25, 2020 press release.

 

After blatantly lying to the public, Williams continues to make excuses for the feds’ refusal to punish ANTIFA terrorists.

“Each case was analyzed for the evidence that we had at the time,” Williams told KJW. “Careful decisions were made on whether or not someone should be charged based on the evidence.”

“I’ve never made a decision in my career based upon political pressure or institutional pressure,” Williams claimed.

Big League Politics has reported on other instances in which federal authorities protected ANTIFA thugs, with the FBI regularly carrying water for the far-left terror group:

 

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is claiming that there is “no intelligence” indicating that ANTIFA had a role in fomenting riots that have gripped the country.

This directly contradicts President Donald Trump and Attorney General Bill Barr, who immediately assigned the blame toward ANTIFA for the violence that is happening nationwide.

“The violence instigated and carried out by ANTIFA and other similar groups in connection with the rioting is domestic terrorism and will be treated accordingly,” Barr said.

Meanwhile, Trump took to Twitter to announce that “the United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization.”

The FBI’s Washington D.C. field office reportedly claims that they have “no intelligence indicating ANTIFA involvement/presence” in the riots. They also claim that “CHS [Confidential Human Source] canvassing, open source/social media partner engagement, and liaison” absolve ANTIFA from any blame.

However, the FBI is assigning blame to right-wingers for mean words allegedly made in social media groups. They claim individuals on social media “called for far-right provocateurs to attack federal agents” and “use automatic weapons against protesters.” The DHS also claims that far-right social media posts “incited followers to engage in violence and start the ‘boogaloo’ — a term used by some violent extremists to refer to the start of a second Civil War — by shooting in a crowd.”

Big Tech is working with the deep state to cover for ANTIFA terrorists and spread the conspiracy theory that white nationalists are somehow responsible for the violence.

It is becoming more clear that Democrats and their deep state allies support ANTIFA terror in order to destabilize the nation and make America more amenable for a Marxist transformation.

No surprise here. If you want to stop antifa, you’ll have to take it upon yourself.

The burning question: Will Alec Baldwin be posting the pictures of their peaceful rioting to his Instragram page?

That’s all that needs to be said.

Like CRT, Antifa is just an idea, and doesn’t exist, and needs to be protected at any cost.

The rule of law is further neutered. Not only is law enforcement denied the duty to keep peace by detaining the persons who have made infractions of the law, and have good evidence to present for the case, the prosecuting attorneys may exercise an undue degree of “prosecutorial discretion”, and even when the case does somehow make it to court, the presiding judge chooses to dismiss the charges on a wholly arbitrary basis, turning the miscreant loose. Should somehow a guilty verdict be won, a full pardon may yet await the perpetrator.

Doesn’t cost the perpetrator anything but time, and then he (or she) may turn around and sue the injured party for “denial of rights” or some other flimsy excuse.

And worse yet, win a judgment.

Antifa are the militant wing of the Democrat party. They are actual and successful insurrectionists.

ANTIFA is obviously run by the “Deep State”.

If it weren’t for double standards, the left wouldn’t have any standards at all.

Meanwhile the J6 trespassers, some of whom were waved in by police, continue to rot in solitary confinement.

This is outrageous. January 6 participants who did next to nothing are treated like muslim terrorists and terrorists who actually did some very bad things are exonerated. It is now OBVIOUS that the government has been illegitimately taken over by leftists. We are in danger.
