FBI: No evidence antifa involved in Capitol riot

MSN / The Hill ^

No evidence has been found that members of the left-wing antifa movement were involved in this week's storming of the Capitol building, the FBI said Friday, contradicting a narrative pushed by some Trump allies.

"We have no indication of that at this time," Washington Field Office assistant director Steven D'Antuono said during a briefing when asked about any potential involvement of antifa.

The term is used to refer to the loosely connected network of far-left activists who say they are fighting against what they perceive as fascism.

Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Michael Sherwin separately said Thursday that investigators had not seen evidence of antifa presence.

I think they mean no evidence has been entered in a court of law (vs. all of our courts of lawlessness).

Is this akin to “It depends on what the definition of is is”?

[chimera]

Well, you're just not with it, then. C'mon, man. Look what that Sherwin guy said: "investigators had not seen evidence". Parse it out, Clinton-style. Here's how it works. Have an office assistant bring in all the evidence and set it out for the investigators. Since the office assistant is not an "investigator", they can claim the "investigators" haven't seen any evidence. Then bring in the investigators. One is an affirmative-action hire who is legally blind, so they can't say that they've seen any evidence. Another had their CoVid mask slip up over their eyes and he couldn't get it loose for the few minutes he "examined" the evidence, so he didn't see any evidence, either. A third "investigator" got a cell phone call just as he entered the room, and unlike a certain former President is unable to multitask, so he spent the entire time on his cell phone looking out the window. Then they had to go to lunch and did so not having seen any evidence. So, there you have it, a perfectly logical, technically accurate narrative of how "investigators haven't seen any evidence". Kind of like "We were never really alone." (Because other people were in the building.)

Well we all knew that even though they took credit.

The FBI couldn’t find a black cat pooping burning coals in a snow storm.

This is unbelievable. What happened to our government and how was it so fast. All they had was the House. The GOP let this happen.

I’m actually frightened.

Correct. The GOP is going to let the Dems arrest POTUS. And then this country will burn. It will make the 60’s look like a play date.

[Mark17]

Does anyone still think the FBI is still mostly good people, with a few bad apples thrown in?

[lodi90]

I’m actually amazed to see FReepers still talking about “taking things to court” and “voting out the RINOs” midterm. I don’t think many have grasped what has/is taking place.

They are good folks but they will never get “it.” Not even when their cities are on fire. Most likely in the next few months. Tick, tock.

[Mark17]

The way you describe it, is probably pretty much exactly how it happened. These slime bags are evil.

[eastexsteve]

That idiot from Texas is about to try to seize our guns..

I have a hard time understanding why he continues to breathe.

and they’re already stolen our votes. Even worse than the rats - is the GOP for siding with the rats and allowing this to happen.

It may help if you stop thinking in terms of "repubs v dems." It's actually populists v the New World Order crowd on the federal level. Although, almost 100 percent of the dems are part of the latter.

[Fiddlstix]

Yes. Just right click and copy each one. No problem

The FBI claims that ANTIFA is only an idea.

Killing an idea should not be a crime.

[Shery]

No Antifa. like there was no fraud! Sheesh! How stupid do they think we are? I’m not saying that some patriots didn’t go ‘on a streak” and land themselves in trouble. However, when we read that the mayor of DC invited Antifa to come to DC the night before...we all know what that was about.

[InterceptPoint]

You are right of course.

But your ideas seem to slip by most Freepers who are more interested in rushing out 1-liners informing us of what we have known some time: Wray is a traitor and the FBI, or let’s continue to call them the FIB, is corrupt to the core.

I think what you hoping for and are willing to work towards will happen. There are a lot of, at least 75,000,000, so the army is there. It’s good ideas and leadership that is needed. Stay tuned. Those ideas and those leaders will emerge.

As for me, I would start with an organized boycott of of all our media enemies, but Facebook and Twitter would be the place to start.

You can look it up but CNN and others threatened to pull their advertising if they didn’t stop allowing hate speech. Like Vote for Trump for example.

Next would the antiTrump corporations. Give us a list, check it twice and stop doing business with them. And don’t forget to tell them why.

Hang in there. We will recover.

LIARS!

[Thank You Rush]

Well, this has to be my THIRD laugh of the day. It was unreal on Wednesday to see all the different law enforcement agencies showing up for a protest in DC - VA, MD, FBI, National Guard, Capitol Hill Police, DC Police....

Kind of overkill compared to what we saw when Antifa was burning down American cities, right?

I despise it all but what I despise most of all is the HYPOCRISY and even Republicans are getting away with it - without being called to account for their disloyalty!!!

[griswold3]

No surprises. Move along now. Nothing to see here.

[griswold3]

Reminds me of the 60 agencies that said Russia interfered with the 2016 election to help Trump win.
The TL. A has no credibility

[Biggirl]

In other words do not believe them.
