As the Biden administration has taken the reins of the Department of Justice, the feds have dismissed dozens of charges against violent rioters in Portland, Oregon. They have dropped charges such as assault on a law enforcement officer, arson, and other violent crimes. Many have been dropped with prejudice, meaning they can’t be re-litigated in the future. According to a local news outlet, federal prosecutors have dismissed more than one-third of the pending charges from last summer’s violent protests in Portland.
KGW News reported:
Federal prosecutors have dismissed more than one-third of cases stemming from last summer’s violent protests in downtown Portland, when protesters clashed with federal agents. KGW reviewed federal court records and found 31 of the 90 protest cases have been dismissed by the U.S. Department of Justice, including a mix of misdemeanor and felony charges.
Some of the most serious charges dropped include four defendants charged with assaulting a federal officer, which is a felony. More than half of the dropped charges were “dismissed with prejudice,” which several former federal prosecutors described as extremely rare. “Dismissed with prejudice” means the case can’t be brought back to court.
The outgoing U.S. attorney for Oregon, Billy Williams, said in an interview that nobody in their right mind thinks this is OK.
The KGW report also indicates that more dismissals may be on the way, as several sources in the law enforcement community told them they expect this is just the first round.

...AND THE HELL WITH DECENT LAW-ABIDING AMERICAN CITIZENS!!
Can you say BIAS?
The republic is dead. And the rule of law with it.
Can anyone now doubt that DOJ and the FBI are run by a fascist cabal?
The entire federal government.
The republic is dead.
Their after the white supremacists don’t ya know
The democrat party helped organize the riots and gave them full support. Then they deliberately and intentionally didn’t prosecute the criminals who participated in the theft, destruction, assaults and murder.
The democrat party is a criminal organization cleverly disguised as a political party.
No charges against Portland rioters.......equal justice says to not charge those patriots who demonstrated on 1/6. Some are being held without bail.
But rioters on the Capitol will get prison time. Cut the crap man. It’s so obvious.
They are COMMUNISTS!!
Democrats say: “It’s not a crime if our thugs do it”.
The Biden kakistocracy continues to give aid and comfort to the enemy.
Portland is not America any longer. as a sanctuary, Portland seceded
DemocRat shock troops get a pass.
Department of Just Us.
If I were a current defendant of 1/6, I would bring videos and charge sheets of each of these violent anarchists to my trial, show them, and ask the FBI and prosecutors the status of each case.
Then, I’d contrast my own far lesser offense of walking through a building peaceably, and ask for equal protection of the law.
And appeal to the Supremes.
