This could become really interesting, and when the lawsuit lawyers rip them apart for allowing the anarchy even better.

Seditious conspiracy.

Warrant these mayor’s phones, records/offices and electronic accounts.

Probable cause is prima facie.

The Soros DA’s should be the first target. Inaction in exchange for money.

If any Portland official is charged, I simply cannot see a legal defense that would make it OK for them to allow what has been happening in the anarchy department.

But that’s just one way to look at it. After all the murders, fires, looting and other mayhem is mostly peaceful. Most of them are just children, and kids will be kids. /s/

If these communists want to remove qualified immunity from the police then they should be held just as culpable for their actions as well. Including being PERSONALLY sued for the property damage they’ve supported.

DOJ ?? We don’t have one. Criminal acts faking Russia against POTUS. No DOJ anywhere. Flaunting of fraudulent voting. No DOJ anywhere. Only honest people paying for criminals.

When did these announcements of exploring charges start? I don’t recall this. Either charges were warrented and THAT was announced or they weren’t and NOTHING was announced.

I vote for letting Portland/Oregon dig its own way either out of their self-induced mess or into their grave...

Relocate all Oregon federal facilities and cut off all federal money flowing to OR...
Offer to relocate (from Africa) 1,000,000 Somalian refugees to OR to help them rebuild the state...
