Justice Dept. Creating Unit Focused on Domestic Terrorism

[ClaraD]

You have a very low bar for "civil and polite." A "civil and polite" arrest would be a couple agents showing up at his place of work. A really civil and polite arrest would be contacting him through his lawyer and asking him to turn himself in. What is not a "civil and polite" arrest is four heavily armed agents with guns drawn hammering on the door of his home, refusing to identify themselves or provide a warrant, terrorizing his kids, hauling him off half-dressed, keeping him incommunicado for six hours, then dumping him out on the street sixty miles from his home without a phone or wallet. Whoever ordered this is either an unthinking fanatic, just plain stupid, or secretly wants to get Republicans elected in November.

They didn't dump him, he was released and I am assuming that the phone was evidence, thus he doesn't get it back until the investigation ends. That is how it works when you are detained....they don't give you a ride home.

"Justice Dept. Creating Unit Focused on Domestic Terrorism"

Hmm, I wonder if that'll include AntiFa. Probably not, as AntiFa's Fascist tactics appear to agree with this administration.

I suspect that it'll be little more than the DOJ doing what the IRS, and other Obama agencies, did.

IRS Apologizes For Aggressive Scrutiny Of Conservative Groups

Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced settlements in two long-running cases against the IRS, saying, "There's no excuse" for the agency's treatment of the groups, which sought tax-exempt status.

www.npr.org

​

In a legal settlement that still awaits a federal judge's approval, the IRS "expresses its sincere apology" for mistreating a conservative organization called Linchpins of Liberty — along with 40 other conservative groups — in their applications for tax-exempt status.​

As well they should.

O.K., this is a start.

I suspect the rioters/attackers/insurgents/revolutionaries - whatever your choice of words are for 1/6 - will have to face that they may have unleashed more troubles upon themselves than they realized.

And, be aware that these guys will also go after any organized violence of the type that occurred in Minneapolis & Portland. And that too, is a good thing!

Good!

Congress needs to pass new laws on domestic terrorism to differentiate them from other crimes or this will not make a bit of difference in how people are sentenced

I wonder if the DOJ will investigate the FBI for sending 25 agents with guns drawn to arrest 1 man for pushing a leftist shithead that was screaming obscenities in the face of his child.

Probably not. Considering leftist shitheads cheered the arrest of a woman praying on a sidewalk outside of an abortion clinic, its highly unlikely they would do anything but approve of the FBIs tactics.

I stopped reading at ‘insurrection’ Propaganda.

Everyone else stopped reading at January 11, last year!

Those terrorists that shot a cop in Atlanta are probably not happy to hear this. Wonder if this unit is involved in their arrests?

Lawsuits against people you like is "railroading."

No, pressing an obviously nonsensical charge until it gets tossed out for the third time is railroading. At least since this time it was tossed out by a jury, so Biden's DOJ can't try again.
