Attorney General Bill Barr announced Thursday that the Justice Department has evidence that Antifa and similar extremist groups instigated violent activity among those protesting George Floyds death during a police arrest in Minnesota last month.
While many have peacefully expressed their anger and grief, others have hijacked protests to engage in lawlessness - violent rioting, arson, looting of businesses, and public property, assaults on law enforcement officers and innocent people, and even the murder of a federal agent. Such senseless acts of anarchy are not exercises of First Amendment rights, he said at a DOJ press conference.
They are crimes, designed to terrify fellow citizens and intimidate communities. As I told the governors on Monday, we understand the distinction between three different sets of actors here. The large preponderance of those who are protesting are peaceful demonstrators who are exercising their First Amendment rights.
At some demonstrations, however, there are groups that exploit the opportunity to engage in such crimes as looting. Finally, at some demonstrations, there are extremist agitators who are hijacking the protests to pursue their own separate and violent agenda.
We have evidence that Antifa and other similar extremist groups, as well as actors of a variety of different political persuasions, have been involved in instigating and participating in the violent activity, and we are also seeing foreign actors playing all sides to exacerbate the violence.

Hey Billy Boy, do you ever indite any damn body for any damned thing?
Even if it is proven they have corrupted an election? are known to be trying to over throw our gub mint? Are proven to be DIRTY FBI garbage?
Come on man, between your and this inspector general, you guys are petrified.
I love that expression. Reminds me of the movie "Tombstone" where Wyatt tells the Cowboys he's retired after they call him "Law Dog."
Exactly, go to the source. SOROS. Did anyone see that video of a protester bragging about getting paid directly from George Soros? He says they have it set up like a pyramid scheme, where the more people you get you can earn more money. He says he has been making good money at organizing protests
Canada probably feels they live in the apartment above a meth lab right about now . The left has a way of doing that to their neighbors.
would love to see that video and pass it along to some of my liberal relatives.....any idea where I can find it?
How about rolling up and frog marching these
Vicious punks
Wow. Just wow. The riots started when? May 26th. The justice department has solid evidence in just 10 days, but that isn’t good enough?
Just what is reasonable, for Pete’s sake? I see a department overwhelmed by the sheer volume of wrongdoing they have to deal with thanks to Obasshole, and there is disappointment because there hasn’t been a trial for rioting within a mere 10 days? Is the goal convictions or not? Do we want the rioter’s backers identified or don’t we?
My brother is a retired detective. He spent days on credit card fraud. His wife is an attorney. She has stories to tell about sloppy investigative work. Barr doesn’t do sloppy, thank God.
Crime in Gotham!
SO:
How many people has DOJ arrested?
How many leaders of antifa?
How many arrests of those who pay them and equip them?
Tom needs to take his wife, family and mistress and move to Vegas.
So do something, fat man.

Good Lord we are in trouble with this type of weakness.
We have total chaos in the streets and Barr is just figuring things out?
Remember he let all the criminals that tried to coup a sitting U.S. President go.
This is why we have chaos in the streets because Barr, like Sessions, refuses to go after the top criminals.
On top of that Big Tech is still censoring, and laughing at the Executive Order. They are laughing because they know Barr will not do anything.
100% President Trump will lose in November because it is in the process of being stolen, and Barr will not do a dam thing about it.
Oh and while the rest of the country is on lockdown. Rioters are allowed and cheered to attack people, police, firemen, loot businesses and burn down businesses.
What the hell is Barr doing?
Social Media needs to be shut down because this is how the criminals
This country is GONE if we do not change the current trajectory!
So DO something about it BARR besides talk.
Our government is full of phonies and traitors.
Meanwhile his US Attorney is dropping most of the charges against the rioters arrested in DC.
AWESOME!
I will see if I can find it. The video of a man bragging about making a lot of money organizing protests, and getting paid directly from GS
Oh come on, now, that guy is batshit insane. He’s a loon and is lying.
