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.
Biden has already tainted any federal jury.
It’s Rittenhouse that had his due process rights violated by the Kenosha DA and if the DOJ is involved they need to go after the prosecutors.
Dems believe if the FEEL like it they can make up phony cases all they want, regardless of laws and juries.
We cannot let the Dems get away with this attempt.
They have to be punished, within the laws of the land.
No double jeopardy. (If anyone were black this would be the first day of “hate crime” and “civil rights violation” suits.
Thanks goodness they were not black.)
Ilhan Nur Said Elmi should be prosecuted for acquiring citizenship through fraud, fraudulently marrying her brother and fraudulently getting him a green card.
And then deported.
If the DNC were a punchbowl, Nadless would be the turd.
The federal trick was predictable— in case of acquittal, to sget around double jeopardy. weapon i ever the DOJ to prosecute for “civil rights violations.” by the exonerated defendant. Been doing this since the Similar Valley police case, and ends up sending the police to jail.
When I lived in northern Illinois, I used to drive up to Wisconsin to buy cheese.
By the way, the distance from Antioch, Illinois to Kenosha, Wisconsin is about 21 miles.
They’d better be.
Ask Jerry Nadler if he watched the trial. The SOB is blowing the dog whistle for more Klantifa violence.
How come the communists whined that anyone who dared to say the election was corrupt was threatening Democracy, but a Resident and Congressman with fecal incontinence can “spit” on a unanimous jury decision, and that’s just fine? Aren’t they undermining the rule of law?
These bastards are upset that the concept of self-defense prevailed. They want their street terrorists and criminal scum to run amok. Tolerating that crap is over, and they can’t stand it.
Everyone who believed this wouldn’t happen clap their hands.
For Biden to do otherwise would be an impeachable offense.
Have these people figured out yet that if we were ACTUALLY the “domestic terrorists” they paint us as, they’d be running for their lives? Good Lord. They CAN’T believe their own garbage, can they?

It would only be anti-Semitism if Rittenhouse knew in advance that they were Jewish.
Hey Humpty Dumpty Fatso, he did NOT cross state lines with a weapon, you ridiculous insane fool. I cannot stand these evil people. That they all, democrats and the liberal media morons, are going after a then SEVENTEEN year old child is astonishing to say the least, just like they did to 16 yr. old Nicholas Sandman.
Garland will do whatever his masters tell him, but this is a loser idea. The jury pool in Milwaukee federal court is drawn from all over S.E. Wisconsin. That jury pool will likely be more conservative than the pool just drawn from the City of Kenosha. Absent a gross miscarriage of justice the result would be the same. Not worth wasting the tax dollars.
What they need to be reviewing is that prosecutor and some of their shenanigans. So crooked and evil. He should be disbarred.
Defund the FBI.
Given the current condition of our educational system, I wonder how many of our YUTES know that until the 1960’s, the Demoncrat party supported the KKK and segregation!
I bet many have no idea about the nature of their RACIST history.
The front of my home(s) is pretty safe. Well except for the scorps. Oh, and the coyotes. And the rattlers. And the cougars. Ok so maybe not so safe. I gotta move.
Absolutely. It is about time to show them how a riot should be done.
Our communist masters will leave no stone unturned in the persecution of Kyle Rittenhouse...
The might of a tyrannical and insidious government bureaucracy will be brought to bear on him in a relentless pursuit of revenge...
In addition, all communist organizations like the NAACP, BLM, Antifa, NEA, and MSM will be harassing and doxing him for years to come...
