CTLawyer -“The riots that took place in the streets of cities across the USA are to be investigated by the states, if the riot was not on federal property.
It is not the bailiwick of Congress to investigate. The feds can’t prosecute state crimes, it has nothing to do with equal application of the law. Different laws and jurisdictions are in play.”
Typical Lying Lawyer.
From the Justice Dept. Attorney General’s office:
District of Oregon:
“74 People Facing Federal Charges for Crimes Committed During Portland Demonstrations
Charges include assaulting federal officers, arson, failing to obey lawful orders, and damaging federal property
U.S. Attorney Billy J. Williams announced today that 74 people are facing federal charges for crimes committed adjacent to or under the guise of peaceful demonstrations in Portland since at least May 29, 2020. For more than 90 consecutive nights, Portland has been home to large demonstrations and protests against police use of force and anti-Black racism. On many nights, after peaceful demonstrations end, various public and private buildings have been the target of vandalism and destruction. Local, state, and federal law enforcement working to protect these buildings and ensure the safety of peaceful demonstrators have been subjected to threats and assaults from violent agitators while performing their duties. “Violent agitators have hijacked any semblance of First Amendment protected activity, engaging in violent criminal acts and destruction of public safety,” said U.S. Attorney Williams. “The U.S. Attorney’s Office and our federal law enforcement partners are expeditiously working with local and state law enforcement to identify, arrest, and prosecute these individuals that are disrupting the rule of law in our communities and physically attacking our law enforcement officers and destroying property. Violent agitators not only delay real reform, but make our community less safe by keeping law enforcement from responding to other critical calls for service.”
So why is the Congress having a investigation on Jan. 6 and NOT on the Federal Crimes that were Committed during the Riots of 2020 – 21?
This is a Violation of the Constitution – which demands Equality in Everything that has to do with Law investigation & enforcement!
