Former FBI agent who was in Portland during 2020 riots reveals that 'legal observers' worked with violent Antifa mobs

Two of those arrested in Atlanta after far-left extremists torched the site of a future police training center, which they call "Cop City," were members of the National Lawyers Guild. One of those attorneys, Thomas Jurgens, is an attoney with the Southern Poverty Law Center, which defended his precense as a legal observer at the site of the demostration.

Jurgens can be seen wearing the customary green hat in video from the night of the attack. He was accused of domestic terrorism and was granted $5,000 bond after his arrest.

His status as an attorney with the National Lawyers Guild as a legal observer, however, was brought into question by Kyle Seraphin, a former agent with the FBI.

"The 'legal observers' in Portland," Seraphin said, "were linked via radio to the Antifa mob and acting as countersurveillance and spotters for the Antifa security elements. This 'legal observer' faces charges for domestic terrorism, so I'm comfortable guessing the local cops saw through the veil."

Seraphin told The Post Millennial about legal observers he encountered in Portland in September 2020, when he and other FBI teams were sent to the area to assist with the massive ongoing protests in the wake of George Floyd's death in police custody on May 25 in Minnesota, Minn.

He saw firsthand legal observers working in concert with protestors, seeking to disrupt law enforcement activity. As Seraphin and his team observed a subject involved in their investigation, a woman who was identified as a legal observer began to watch them, recording their license number and acting as what Seraphin called a "spotter," what is essentially a lookout.

If you read it with a lisp it sounds about right. Must use a gay spellcheck.

So, the SPLC is actually an arm of Antifa,

They are part of the complex of their command structure, yes.

Antifa released a video in which they indicate they “marched to the (Weelaunee) forest.” Since they describe it in military terms, they have a uniform, they have an organized command structure, they have military objectives, Georgia should call up their national guard and treat them like the insurrectionist paramilitary organization that they are.

Absolutely. And interesting to note there was a "drop" about why antifaz and BLMers were not designated terrorist organizations.
