As protests against police brutality spread across the country, President Trump looked impotent, unable to offer anything reassuring and tweeting angrily from inside a White House under siege.
But Trump has hit on a solution: designate “antifa” a terrorist organization, to make it look as if the protests have been taken over by radical terrorists, and to create the impression that he’s getting fearsomely tough in response.
In an interview with us, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) told us that the designation itself, which has no legal basis, appears to be a “characteristically political act."
Schiff, the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, also said that if this particular designation were to translate into meaningful policy actions by the administration, numerous House Democratic committees would scrutinize both the initial designation and the policies flowing from it.

Shiffty needs to get a TV. Or a police scanner. Or a clue.
Oh FFS.
By all means Adam, please walk any major city street tonight without your armed security and let us know how it turns out.
Are these guys serious? Store were being looted yesterday in broad daylight!
“Smearing” Asinine.
Antifa “protests” have historically never been peaceful by any reasonable standard.
Just remember who is aiding and abetting these violent assholes.
I don't think I've heard a peep out of Pelosi for several days.
“Smearing”

etc etc etc
The Washington ComPost is totally irrelevant.
Nothing but lie and propaganda. 24/7
Hey Schiff, hows your buddy Ed Buck doing..he killed more people than the officer in Minnesota
“Smearing”
Churches in 6 States Damaged by Violent Protests
Oh, BS.
Rioting, looting, vandalizing, beating people up, and arson are not *peaceful* protests.
Hitting innocent passers by with tire irons and burning stores and police stations and churches and looting retailers — the kinds of peaceful protests schitt is inviting to his street?
No legal basis—— boy what the WaPo does not get. There most certainly is a Legal, Executive Office basis for the statement. Which triggers military response once Posse Comitatus requests are made by the Governors. Bang, Zoom.
Schiff can be targeted for his support of a terrorist organization, and he knows it. His panties are in a wad.
The Justice Department KNOWS that Antifa is running things. And they know it is well-organized (check out the mysteriously-appearing pallets of bricks). Dems are always quick to defend these thugs.
When did he smear protesters? Oh, never mind.. the pukes at WaPo...
Schiff isn’t just supporting a terrorist organization, he is actively engaged in their operation.
As a high ranking member of ANTIFA, he will do everything to prevent them from being designated as such.
Partisan Media Shills update.
At this point, shitforbrains would be wise to just shut his pie hole and find a way to leave the country unnoticed....
You can’t smear looters, rioters, arnachists and killers.
Pretty much. No question in my mind Schiff is part of ANTIFA.
