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.

Trump just raised the ante, didn't he? (Don't know the time zone adjustment for the Trump Tweet vs. the Andy Ngo announcement...but it's clear GEOTUS took a rather personal interest in the case.)Why aren’t the Portland Police ARRESTING the cold blooded killer of Aaron “Jay” Danielson. Do your job, and do it fast. Everybody knows who this thug is. No wonder Portland is going to hell! @TheJusticeDept @FBI— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 4, 2020
One can only hope, and I’ve heard lots of critiques of hope, that a sweeping roundup of rioters- their leaders and their financiers- takes place soon. I am beginning to sense, given the widespread concern over law and order, that it might be big medicine in Oct.
This tells you they are not large in numbers.
Seems like this has conveniently taken the focus off the coup investigation.
Oh geez that sounds way too much like direct, efficient prosecutorial work by the DOJ. Can’t have that now, can we?
And no one is stopping Soros from paying for it.
Same for the financiers of BLM. These groups are pretty much working together.
Why not put them on no fly lists for 90 days when they are identified?
And it is true that typing Antifa in the search bar takes you directly to the Biden page.
I did it yesterday. It might be BLM, but I think it’s Antifa.
Bingo!
“We see some of the purchases they are making before the riots of weapons to use in those riots. So, we are following them.”
Nice. When do you stop following and start arresting?
Maybe they are following them in hopes that they will ead them to Mr. Big.
Declare them a domestic terrorist organization, with a green light to shoot on sight.
Summary , extra-judicial execution = OK
Put a bounty on known AnfiFa member ear sets
That’ll teach um....
I just tried it and yes, Antifa.com goes right to the Biden/Harris page.
I guess they’re proud of the connection.
Smoke Soros
Mid Atlantic , two hours out
Bye bye
They drive, too. The damned “Riot Kitchen” van has been in multiple states.
Who funds these terrorists?
If they can “see” purchases of riot “equipment and supplies”, then surely they now know where the money is coming from.
That’s the announcement I want to hear.
l8r
RICO THEIR ASSES!!
I saw, on several videos from BLM/Antifa “protests” that there were quite a few of them that had rock hammers. They were using these hammers to chip off large pieces of concrete to throw at the cops. Just get a list of recent purchases of rock hammers (their choice seemed to be the blue handled Estwing) and that ought to give you a good starting point, for finding some of the ring leaders.
