The only organized 'Antifa' seems to be Trump supporters showing up with their spray paint, Molotov cocktails, or guns, pretending to be Antifa protesters.

2. These people aren't protestors, they're terrorists.

And they should be treated as such. Unfortunately the fucking idiot in the White House is egging them on.

7. Perhaps this is why Barr now needs to review all plans to investigate political cases.

He can’t let underling attorneys start cases that might connect Trump operatives to deliberate terrorist activities like this. I have no doubt they’re connected. Some enterprising reporter needs to track what Trump’s personal bodyguard, being paid by his campaign money $500,000 a year, has been doing since I’m sure he doesn’t hang around with the Secret Service. Tracking his communications, travel, and people he’s met with might be very interesting.
