The persecution of Kyle Rittenhouse continues. Even after a jury of his peers found the 18-year-old “not guilty” on all five counts in his high profile case, Democrat leaders are calling on the Department of Justice to intervene in the Rittenhouse case on “civil rights” grounds.
House Judiciary Committee Chair Rep. Jerry Nadler called on the DOJ to review the Kyle Rittenhouse case for possible federal charges.
This heartbreaking verdict is a miscarriage of justice and sets a dangerous precedent which justifies federal review by DOJ. Justice cannot tolerate armed persons crossing state lines looking for trouble while people engage in First Amendment-protected protest. https://t.co/Uh95Uc1Ddo — Rep.

“This heartbreaking verdict is a miscarriage of justice and sets a dangerous precedent which justifies federal review by DOJ,” Rep. Nadler tweeted. “Justice cannot tolerate armed persons crossing state lines looking for trouble while people engage in First Amendment-protected protest.”
Biden earlier issued a statement indicating that he was “angry and concerned” about the not guilty verdict, but urged people to “express their views peacefully”:
“While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken. I ran on a promise to bring Americans together because I believe that what unites us is far greater than what divides us. I know that we’re not going to heal our country’s wounds overnight, but I remain steadfast in my commitment to do everything in my power to ensure that every American is treated equally, with fairness and dignity, under the law.”
“I urge everyone to express their views peacefully, consistent with the rule of law. Violence and destruction of property have no place in our democracy. The White House and federal authorities have been in contact with Governor [Tony] Evers’ office to prepare for any outcome in this case, and I have spoken with the governor this afternoon and offered support and any assistance needed to ensure public safety.”
The unpresidential statement is sending mixed messages to Americans and to the radical mob gathered in Kenosha, Wisconsin ready to riot at a moment’s notice. Vice President Kamala Harris’s statement was even more incendiary:

“The verdict really speaks for itself,” Harris said. “As many of you know, I spent a majority of my career working to make the justice system more equitable, and clearly there is a lot more work to do.”
Kamala Harris actually spent her time as California District Attorney locking people up for victimless crimes that she herself had committed.
Not to be outdone, Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) earlieer called Rittenhouse a “white supremacist domestic terrorist.”
As concerned parents recently learned, the Department of Justice under Attorney General Merrick Garland isn’t afraid to label Americans “domestic terrorists” for purposes of investigation and harrassment. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) also called Rittenhouse a “domestic terrorist.”
The Department of Justice is an entirely corrupt body that is not above persecuting a young man who was just exonerated by a jury of his peers. Former President Obama similarly called on his Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate Officer Darren Wilson after he was cleared of wrongdoing in the Michael Brown shooting case in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014.
It is now 2021 and the Democratic Party is still pushing for race riots — even in cases of clear defense where the so-called victims are white criminals, including a violent pedophile.
Kyle Rittenhouse isn’t guilty of anything the Democrats accuse him of and the radical left simply cannot stand that fact. If the Democrats have to make up bogus “civil rights” violations to further defame the young man, no one should put anything past them.
Not much the Feds can do. The guys Kyle Rittenhouse shot were all White. So you can’t charge him with “civil rights violations”. So in that aspect, he is fortunate.
Nadler is trying to make the Red Wave of 2022 even bigger.
Whether the DOJ decides to assist him is yet to be decided.
The DOJ makes their own law. they will keep investigating until they bankrupt him or wear him down till he agrees to plead guilty to something. Thats what the do!
Sounds like double jeopardy to me
He did not violate any federal law
When are we going to say enough is enough? The Democrat propaganda ministry is our enemy. Their mouthpieces and enabler‘s are the ones we need to target. And I don’t mean with violence. We need to confront their liberal propaganda with the truth.
I wouldn’t even go that far; they want to be able to defend themselves against “white supremacists”... bottom line they don’t want anyone to be able to kill commies no matter what they are doing; they want to be a protected class, both legally and physically, immune to any action or consequence.
We almost never hear this. The idea of Americans being political refugees is so strange, most people can't imagine it, but with present political trends in place, it could happen quite a lot in future.
If I were him I’d count my lucky stars, I keep my mouth shut, I would avoid any more stupid T-shirts and white power symbols, I’d lay low, and I take no offer to be an intern for anybody or go on a lucrative book tour … The more he (and/or any supporters) victoriously mouths off the more the Feds are going to go after him… Just watch.
Crossing state lines is now apparently suspicious and possibly illegal behavior. Although in this case it probably involved 10 miles or less.
People in Illinois who live “near the line” do this all the time when filling up their cars or making large purchases.
Pressley is the rep for the congressional district that covers Harvard and MIT (among other esteemed educational institutes). I know they skew heavily lefty, even socialist, but I can’t believe the student body and faculty are ok with someone who spends so much of her energy involved in stupid insult games and race baiting.
Rittenhouse did not cross state lines with the gun!
However, the piece of trash that he shot, Gaige Grosskreutz, traveled from twice as far away with his handgun for which he had no concealed carry permit, that he pointed at Rittenhouse before having his bicep blown apart. Why no charges against Gaige Grosskreutz for illegally carrying a gun, and assaulting Kyle with a deadly weapon!
Yeah the Indiana side of the IL/IN border in the Chicago area is full of gas stations, fireworks stores, and liquor sales.
The jury has ruled.
That’s how it is supposed to work.
Don’t like a court decision from a county court, call in the DOJ and have them fabricate a case.
This is what 81,000,000 voted for, right? /sarc /heavy sarc
Between reading all these Dem politicians make up facts about the case and that amnesty is about to be given by 10,000,000+ illegals, it’s time to realize that without a legitimate secession movement, the lives we’ve all been living are coming to an end. Although they represent a rather small portion of the country, they have assumed control, somehow. Voting in 2024 isn’t going to do much of anything. Especially when those 10,000,000+ are given the privilege of voting.
Stand tall, Kyle…
If they do, I want to know where they move to. I’d like to join them!
No smart phones or computers this family
Makes sense. Waddler made a Brown Wave in 2021.
he said antifa is a myth
Based on their malicious and venomous attitudes toward We The People, the Department of Jerkoffs and the Falsifiers, Bolsheviks, and Imbeciles are all Satan’s children.
The sooner they all receive the Righteous Fury of Almighty God, the better for innocent people everywhere.
Given they have more in common with Ceaucescu’s infamous Securitate Forces, they all are truly the definition of absolute evil.
