Erin Nealy Cox, a U.S. attorney tapped by Attorney General William Barr to lead a task force on violent anti-government extremists, said the feds have opened hundreds of federal criminal investigations surrounding the violence and rioting since May 28.

“They have since May 28 [opened] over 300 domestic terrorist investigations,” Cox told a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing on preventing violent protests. “That does not include any potential civil rights investigations or violent crime associated with the riots.”

In addition, Acting Deputy Homeland Security Secretary Ken Cuccinelli told lawmakers that an estimated 140 federal law enforcement officers guarding a Portland federal courthouse sustained 277 injuries due to the violent and sustained nightly attacks at the building.

At one point in the Senate hearing, he picked up a frozen water bottle and banged it on the desk, saying they have been thrown at officers as well as pipes and Molotov cocktails. …

Instead of going after the little guys, why not charge and arrest the national leaders? Someone in the gov must know who is organizing this. It is obviously not spontaneous & grassroots.

All morons throwing firebombs, doing graffiti and vandalism, attacking someone, etc.

Not a single organizer, financier, or behind the scenes coordinator. When TEA was merely standing on the sidewalks politely with signs, all of government was mobilized against them. The IRS, DOJ, etc. The money sources were attacked hard.

So on average, across the 50 states, 6 low level rioters are facing a charge. Good job zippy.

Yup. I have sent numerous notes to Trump suggesting that Soros and others like him, should “disappear.” Until that happens, this antifa and BLM crap will never stop.

F.I.B. has opened investigations? Have they ever opened or closed one on Jimmie Commie?

How nice.

So what. The fbi only really likes to go after conservatives and republicans like Mike Flynn or Donald Trump.

I expect nothing to come from most if not all of these so called investigations.

I honestly believe even if given a hard directive to go after Antifa, the ‘rank n file’ FBI just wouldn’t do it. They might say, ‘Yes boss’, and then just not do the work. That’s where we are.

If the hair sniffer, manages to steal the election, every single solitary federal case will be dropped. So, the key thought is, “after the election.” 👍🤣
