AG Barr: DOJ Has Evidence That Antifa, Other Extremist Groups Instigated Rioting
CNS News ^ | 4 Jun 20 | Melanie Arter

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 Floyd’s 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.

If he does not make this information public, he is aiding and abetting the insurrection.

The sure tip-off is that he claimed the checks were personally signed by Soros. You think Soros would personally sign each and every check to these scrubby, dumbshit protestors? Never, ever, ever. It’s nonsensical.

Its funny that today Rush mentioened that Democraps are loosing thier minds because of Barr and Durham closing in on them. Honestly I would be too busy laughing at mayor McCheese doing anything other than gaining another 30 pounds. Trump has a golden opportunity to fire both Barr and Wrey due to lack of action in either preventing or stoping these ANTIFA assholes. When it comes to the deepstate, Trump is utterly clueless as to who he is dealing with.

Probably one of those stamped signatures, which are legal I believe. Anyway, it seemed like a legit video to me, but I can’t totally vouch for it, obviously.

The far left claims that Antifa doesn’t even exist. That is their same talking point in defending Communism. “Well, real Communism doesn’t exist anywhere in the world so don’t blame us for that example!” Except time and time again they praise Chavez, Che, Castro, Mao, Stalin, and Ho Chi Min.

They are cool with it. Bernie Bros even defended gulags.
