Federal charges came more than a year after violence surrounding the Unite the Right rally in August 2017.


WASHINGTON ― ..............................................

Multiple individuals were in custody as of Tuesday morning, an official told HuffPost. The federal charges against the individuals were still under seal, but they relate to the Aug. 11 march on the campus of the University of Virginia as well as the Aug. 12 Unite the Right rally in downtown Charlottesville.

U.S. Attorney Thomas T. Cullen and FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Thomas Chadwick will announce the charges at a press conference in Charlottesville at 2 p.m.

The charges were not directly related to the death of Heather Heyer, who died when a car driven by white supremacist James Alex Fields Jr. slammed into a crowd of protesters demonstrating against racism. Federal authorities announced charges against Fields back in June.

1. I guess Republicans will have a few less voters because they'll be in jail

[Iggo]

2. They did Nazi that coming.

(Wait, is that still funny?)

[PatSeg]

3. I laughed

Need all the laughs I can get these days!

[ArizonaLib]

6. It will always be funny

Just like Klink, Schultz and Hochstetter

[Leghorn21]

4. Multiple, baby, MULTIPLE arrests!!

Fuckin A - much-needed good news

[Fred Sanders]

7. The FBI investigated these criminals for a year, but for SCOTUS investigation they get a week??

It is a criminal trial of Kavanaugh with all criminal trial standards isn't it, Judiciary Committee Republicans? Or is it a job interview background check...involving new information of....three sexual misconduct bordering on attempted rape allegations?

Then we should have a proper criminal investigation if the former, and WTF disqualification for the job if a job interview. Can't you all find a nominee without at least less then three credible accusers of criminal acts of a shockingly similar sexual and drunken nature you refuse to have investigated?

Can't have it both ways even if the media lets you.

Too logical for you all? Then run to the favourite media for fascists and liars!

Run to Fox for cover!

[ck4829]

24. It is a little strange

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. The SCOTUS investigation isn't a criminal investigation; it's a background check.

Big difference. More importantly, Trump and the GOP Senate tied their hands and limited what they were allowed to look at. Reporting last night (Brian Williams) said contacts within the FBI expressed great frustration at the limitations imposed on them. That isn't the FBI's fault. Glad they at least caught some minor Nazis even if they had to leave the big ones alone.

[Fred Sanders]

27. Wasn't the big difference explicitly mentioned in my comment? The point being Republicans say

there should be the criminal standard of proof for criminal allegations in the not criminal trial hearing! Propaganda...then you can turn the "burden of proof" on a uninvestigated accusation and screech "no rule of law by libs". Who wins that framing?

So obvious. Am I right, Fox?

They do not want to discuss job qualifications or temperament or partisan bias or mysogeny at all. I agree this is all not the FBI's fault in any way...they will be professional, as you allude to.

[safeinOhio]

5. Time to....

indite the right...

[Scurrilous]

8. K&R

[AllaN01Bear]

9. eggscdllent

[jmowreader]

10. Didn't Trump call them very fine people?

Well, we have very fine jail cells to put them all in.

And I must apologize, but every time I see that tiki torch rally I can’t help but think that a box of gasoline-filled water balloons would have changed the course of history.

[lagomorph777]

15. Ow! That would've really hurt!

[magicarpet]

16. Make sure you use neoprene rubber gloves...

.... instead of a standard water balloon.

The gasoline will eat and disintegrate the latex rubber of a latex balloon or rubber gloves but the neoprene is much less likely to break down and go mush before you toss it.

It is like storing gasoline in a Styrofoam cup, when you come back the gasoline ate a hole in the foam cup.

[lagomorph777]

17. Hypothetically speaking, of course.

[magicarpet]

19. Yes,.. yes,.. I read that somewheres... or saw it is one of thems spy movies.

[lagomorph777]

21. Of course!

[ballabosh]

22. I was thinking

Silly string.

[ck4829]

23. Give them some very prison sentences

[Fred Sanders]

28. "Very fine young me wrongfully accused"...why does that sound familiar?

Oh yeah, Shitler just yesterday defending the right of fine young men to assault women.

Is the nightmare of Trump over soon....??

[Racerdog1]

11. Nice!

Wonder how many of these brave individuals will cry and sob at the thought of some well deserved jail time? Big Bubba will be waiting.

[ck4829]

25. LOL

[jmowreader]

29. No, they'll be well protected

I have been told there are plenty of white supremacist gangs in prisons. They may even be heroes.

They may like it so well they never want to leave, which is fine by me.

[sanatanadharma]

12. So, Qanon was right about sealed indictments...

...but wrong about which team has criminal intentions
Perhaps this is the start of the 50,000 indicted round up

[TwistOneUp]

13. Good night, alt-right! nt

[llmart]

14. I'll be happier when they indict their leader...

the one who gets them all fired up at his so-called "rallies".

[erronis]

18. Is it just me, but I can imagine that many of those clean-shaven alt-right-wingers are actors

Paid for by the RW media and pResident/pLootocrats/pRussians.

So if there are murder charges against some of them and that it is proven that they are actors, is it possible that the real perps will pay the penalty?

[Chakaconcarne]

20. Pardons to follow...just not before elections...

"These were fine gentlemen that got a bad wrap from the liberal media. Young racists have a lot to fear these days."
