As flames push closer to the city of Portland, the mayor has declared a state of emergency — and state officials say they're now preparing for a "mass fatality incident."

Wonder if the FBI is on the case. Answer? No. They’re too busy covering up.

Unfortunately true. Apparently the Portland FBI bureau chief was put in place by Admiral Comey. Part of the resistance it seems.
