CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – More than one year after a white nationalist torch-lit march and rally in Charlottesville, multiple arrests have been made in connection to the event, according to federal prosecutors.

United States Attorney Thomas T. Cullen and FBI Assistant Special Agent Thomas M. Chadwick will announce the arrests and charges during a press conference Tuesday afternoon.

They’ll probably get a key to the city.

“The men are accused of committing “multiple acts of violence” against counterprotesters, according to Cullen. Those acts of violence includes punching, kicking, headbutting, and pushing. They are accused of assulting a black male, two women, and a minister wearing a clerical collar”

So the counterprotesters were just innocent bystanders? No provocation, no attacks of their own?

Any chance that Cullen is an Obola holdover?

Time to start a GoFundMe so that we can reward them for their good work and disguise it as a legal fund (see what the Dems are doing for Ford).

The “counter-protestors” initiated the violence.

“torch-lit march”

That’s how you can tell it is a white supremicist rally.

If it was a BLM rally, it would be “businesses and cars lit by torches”

"Will any Antifas be on the list? "

The Nationalist rally was to save the statue of Robert E. Lee. It had a permit and was held in a park. When the rally was over, the police herded those exiting the rally directly into the Antifa mob that was waiting. When the Antifa mob commenced with violence, the police stood down.

The violence was planned at the highest levels of the Deep State. It was planned that way from the start.

What about the antifa guy who hit the car with a pole right before the driver lost control and rammed into the crowd?

Nope

“Thomas T. Cullen was confirmed as United States Attorney for the Western District of Virginia on March 22, 2018, after being nominated by President Donald J. Trump on February 27, 2018. He took office on March 30, 2018.”

It is funny reading the 1-year-gone story, and how “100 protestors” were at this rally.

At the time, the media pretend the entire GOP was out there with pitchforks and nazi flags.

100 people. And the left pretended that was representative of 60+ million people who voted republican in 2016.

All centered around shoe shops.

This is getting ridiculous - from videos of that rally, it looks like the great majority of the violence came from the leftist side. Where are the arrests of violent leftist protestors? And these are FEDERAL charges, which means that Jeff Sessions is actually signing off on them. If anything, these violent leftist groups have gotten bolder and more violent while Sessions has been head of the Department of Justice - why is he allowing that?

Because he is an enemy asset on those few occasions when he is awake. He really is a turd.

Shall we address Jeff Sessions in the future as Turd Ferguson?

Anyone get the feeling there’s a full-court press by the usual suspects to knock Kavanaugh off the front pages today?

Almost as if they realized how bad the situation was for Dems and the word went out to distract using any means available.

Perhaps, but why would Trump’s own Department of Justice be complicit with a plan like that?
