Antifa Members Flying Around the Country to Engage in Rioting: Barr
theepochtimes.com ^ | 9/3/2020 | ZACHARY STIEBER

Members of the extremist Antifa network are flying around the country and participating in riots, Attorney General William Barr said in a new interview.

“I’ve talked to every police chief in every city where there has been major violence and they all have identified Antifa as the ramrod for the violence,” Barr said in an appearance this week on CNN’s “Situation Room.” “They are flying around the country. We know people who are flying around the country. We know where they’re going.”

“We see some of the purchases they are making before the riots of weapons to use in those riots,” he added. “So, we are following them.”

Crossing state lines to engage in rioting is illegal and a federal offense, the attorney general said.

Riots exploded in various American cities in late May, following the police custody death of George Floyd in Minnesota.

Some of those arrested during unrest self-identify as members of the network, Barr noted, while others refuse to provide their identity. Antifa members have been arrested or identified as suspects in Washington, Portland, and Green Bay, Wisconsin, among other cities.

“I think it’s worrisome that people from out of town are coming here obviously without the intent to peacefully protest, but obviously with the intent to commit criminal acts,” Green Bay Police Chief Andrew Smith told The Epoch Times.

The Department of Justice, which Barr heads, is probing the heads of organizations behind the rioting, acting Homeland Security chief Chad Wolf said this week.

Won’t stop until the financiers of Antifa are arrested, imprisoned or rendered inoperative.

Well, it seems like it would be easy to get a list of all of the suspects from the flight manifests.

Correct answer.

Find them.

Prosecute them.

Throw them in federal prison with no bail.

Don't let them out this century.

Find out who funded them.

Seize the assets of anyone who funded them.

The peaceful protesters are giving cover to the rioters. And that should be obvious to them by now.

They have to be charged with rioting locally first.

This is in part why the media keeps calling them “protestors.”

He has the names and a No-Fly list, be he won't do a damn thing.

This is just another bout of his verbal flatulence.

Our guys need to take their time and pull in the money men... and the liberal 'elite's thugs running this scam.

Barr is giving these people lots of (expensive) rope, let’s see if he can hang them with it.

Pull the FBI away from hunting the president and give them something to occupy their time. Like destroying that tent city in Portland. 35 thousand people at Justice and they just figured out that people are flying around the country to do evil crap.

Flying, huh?

They'd better make sure their tray tables are up and their seats are in the upright locked position.

The only rope our justice department seems to be interested in are those hanging in a NASCAR garage. You can get dozens of federal agents there in a moment's notice.

You don’t arrest the street dealers until they’ve led you to the kingpin. I would imagine that’s exactly what the FBI and other agencies within the Justice Department are trying to do, develop a RICO case against the financiers and facilitators of this organized inter-state criminal conspiracy.
