Feds investigating whether 'professional' Antifa-linked agitators exerting 'command and control' over unrest
fox news ^ | 6/3/2020 | jake gibson

Federal law enforcement officials are probing whether "criminal actors" are coordinating violent activities during protests and are looking into reports that "rocks and bricks" have been dropped off to throw at police and other law enforcement as cities across the country grapple with the uptick in violence, a senior Justice Department official said.

"You see the hallmarks... We're trying to see if there's a coordinated command and control, you see those bread crumbs and that's what we're trying to verify," the DOJ official said.

Another DOJ official said the feds have seen signs of "very organized" coordination from "professional" agitators, some linked to Antifa.

There have been more than 100 arrests in Washington as a result of the protests and riots related to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, according to federal officials. Around 20 of those people were not charged. Meanwhile, 70 to 75 people have been charged with crimes such as assault, breaking and entering, destruction of property and other violations.

That person added that officials are looking at "trends" and the possibility that extremist groups have been involved in directing violent acts in recent days.

Another DOJ official said leads being pursued and cases being developed -- related to Antifa and other extremists groups -- by several different U.S. Attorneys' offices.

Well I’m getting sick and tired of an administration whose AG’s are disengaged and make statements like they are college professors but otherwise DO NOTHING. This is the second one.

They need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent since we can’t just line them against a wall and execute them

My ears perked up when she said “We have their entire mirrored server”. Could be very interesting to see where this leads.

I think it was at the 2008 GOP convention there were some antifada type people who got busted bragging how they were going to fire bomb police cars outside the convention hall and didn’t care if any officers were in the car as they attacked.

It was undercover investigation that prevented their attack.
