https://www.thenation.com/article/activism/antifa-trump-fbi/The FBI report, however, states that based on CHS [Confidential Human Source] canvassing, open source/social media partner engagement, and liaison, FBI WFO has no intelligence indicating Antifa involvement/presence. The statement followed a list of violent acts like throwing bricks at police and the discovery of a backpack containing explosive materials, which were flagged by the FBI under a Key Updates section of the report. The FBI has been issuing such reports daily since the weekend, according to a Bureau source, who added that none of these documents contained any evidence of antifa violence.
Antifa, short for anti-fascist, is a type of militant anti-racist, anti-nationalist organizing that does not rely on the justice system to confront the far right. Groups associated with antifa have destroyed property and committed violence in the past, but the fact that the FBIs situation reports cannot find any evidence of such involvement now suggests that fears about such groups may be exaggerated.
So there, Barr and Trump. Eat THAT.

(35,952 posts)I'm pretty sure they've got some photos and other intel to pursue.
This AG and prez won't mess with the FBI. They'll just mess with the Chris Wray, who gives the field offices a lot of due process cover.
My belief, given all I've read about the FBI (which two books, admittedly not much) is that they'd pursue criminal activity until they "get their man." Field agents know that under FBI rules, they really can't be fired immediately, because they've got due process reviews, and they and their superiors have all sworn an oath to pursue their threat assessment mission.

(35,952 posts)Now it means that official government agencies officially report it and not just media.
And Barr can NOT officially rewrite this report.

(35,952 posts)I don't think it's realistic to think they can report on all hate groups all at once.
This report is to clear up who's NOT criminally involved, at least.

(21,060 posts)That has been going on. We wonder how anyone can think differently but if you saw it youd know why. I only could stand a little of it but we also need to know what the enemy is saying so we can refute and push back.
ancianita
(35,952 posts)bring it up here. We already know what we need to do to push back.
We've been refuting, debunking and outthinking the right for three years.

(21,060 posts)He goes what??? So maybe knowing ahead of time time the insane talkings points you can refute quickly and push back.
I rarely watch Fox but flipped over out of curiosity. Sorry you didnt like my opinion.

(23,065 posts)They are trying to cover up the organized white nationalists, rw militias, & Nazis inciting violence and destruction by invoking a lie bout the left. There is NO Antifa organization, it's just rw lies. Yes, in the 60's we had far left violent groups - SDS & Weather People come to mind. Those don't exist anymore, it's all rw groups that are causing the violence & destruction and rw cops that keep killing innocent unarmed black people just because they can and want to.
