Portland is out of the FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force again.
The Portland City Council voted 3-2 Wednesday to withdraw the city’s police officers from the JTTF, a partnership between federal agencies and local law enforcement.
Commissioners Jo Ann Hardesty, Amanda Fritz and Chloe Eudaly supported the change. They worry there is not enough civilian oversight to ensure Portland officers abide by civil rights laws and say there isn’t enough evidence to show the task force has made Portland safer.
“The current president has made clear his animosity toward Muslims, immigrants and people of color,” Fritz said, noting that the FBI has not followed through on promises to provide more, regular information on the group’s work since Portland re-entered the partnership several years ago. “I found it hard to trust the JTTF under President Obama. It’s impossible now.”
Portland’s vibrant left-wing activist community turned out in force at Wednesday’s meeting to show its support for withdrawal. The council chamber was standing-room only with an overflow room filled as well.

Explain? I know the lefties accused the FBI of entrapment during the trail of the terrorist. Didn’t read anything about the CIA but I am on the other coast and didn’t follow all that closely. Was just visiting Portland when it happened.

George Webb got Andy McCabe on his ass for covering the CIA plot at the Christmas tree ceremony attempted bombing and s. I encourage you to got to George Webb youtube and search his explanation. Far to complex for me to detail here.
Thanks. Will do.
One step closer to blood in the streets.
