Trump says FBI investigating ‘hundreds’ of monument vandals
NY Post ^ | June 24, 2020

President Trump says the FBI is investigating “hundreds” of protesters for defacing federal property including statues — and that they face 10 years in prison for having “fun one night.”

Trump told reporters in the Rose Garden on Wednesday that a law already allows stiff penalties and that he will sign a “very strong executive order” this week.

“The FBI is investigating hundreds of people throughout the country for what they’ve done to monuments, statues and even buildings,” Trump said at a press conference with Polish President Andrzej Duda.

It takes time to build a case that holds up in court, I just hope these people get the justice they deserve.

Good. Hope the FBI does something useful for once.

Also, I hope Trump makes some strong statements and whatever order he plans to sign, I hope it makes clear that the time of indulging these little Marxist babies is over.

This is all Democrats and Democrats cities with Democrat prosecutors Democrat mayors Democrat city councils and Democrats Democrats

Committed a crime? No worries not only will we value out where they’ll be no bail but will drop all the charges

This is why we need to get federal charges going and get them in the federal court and added the swamplands of Democrat hellholes where there’s no accountability

We all know how those ‘investigations’ usually go.
At a glacial pace, if at all.
Meanwhile, our national monuments are being Taliban-ized,
and city authorities are too chicken or deluded to make it stop.

Surprising they took the time off from ‘investigating’ him, and his allies, and nascar ‘nooses’. A shame to take them away from their important activities to investigate actual federal crimes.

Some people from the high school I attended were involved in the riots and are being prosecuted. One for smashing cop cars with a sledgehammer, another for setting a store on fire. Both were lawyers. Makes you wonder why a lawyer would get involved in such mayhem?

Means something will happen...after they enjoy all but 23 1/2 hours of the final day of the statute of limitations, feeling the euphoria of "look what I did" (and what I showed the world on anti-social media).

AND THEN....

Either you have clown makeup on or you’re new to the world :-)

That was sarcasm

Lol

Let these people have their fantasies about how the federal government is going to do what the Democratic Mayors and governors didnt do. It makes them feel righteous and powerful :-)

Two things that are in the right directions is that dopey DEM Governor of Wisconsin has called out the National Guard to protect the statues and stop rioting.

Also, CHOP has been disbanded.

The Marxists went too far because nobody was stopping them and even their comrades in power had to put their foot down...finally.

"Meaning nothing is going to happen."

They have to be able to identify these people, then find them. It takes time. I know they're scouring social media for clues, and probably using facial recognition. My son says that with the software they use today, the people who think their identity can't be discovered because they wear a mask, are dead wrong. I'm going to try to remain optimistic.

10 years in jail for all of them. Not just sitting on their asses, but hard labor.

Wray must have a way with words if Trump believes that. No wonder he made such bad appointments.
