Very disappointing. We’ll have to see what the public hearings reveal, if any alleged crimes are referred to the DOJ, and if the DOJ decides to investigate further.
The Meadows and Scavino thing is a profound mystery. Those two were up to the neck in “obviously illegal” undertakings. I can only hope that the leaven is working in secret, here.
‘At the center of it is a grift’: Expert explains what’s driving some domestic extremist groups — and how they should be prosecuted
Kristofer Goldsmith outlined how best to go after violent extremist paramilitary groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers under law.
Specifically, he argued, many of these groups operate as moneymaking schemes — and therefore, hate crimes they commit can allow the group to be targeted under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).
“One of the things that the Innovation Lab of Human Rights First has been doing is, we’ve been analyzing leaks from white supremacist organizations where they documented themselves committing hate crimes, traveling across state lines, engaged in interstate conspiracies to commit hate crimes,” said Goldsmith.
Republican New York House candidate Carl Paladino, who’s been endorsed by House GOP conference chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY), shared an unhinged rant on his Facebook page last week that pushed conspiracy theories about the shootings in Uvalde and Buffalo.
The tirade, which was apparently written by a person named “Jeff Briggs,” was posted on Paladino’s now-deleted Facebook page on June 1, according to screenshots published by Media Matters, which was the first to report on the post.
The post ranted that “they call it gun control, but what they really mean is population control,” and suggested that mass shootings were false flag operations devised by the government to take away people’s guns.
“In almost every mass shooting including the most recent horrific Buffalo Tops Market & the Texas school shootings, there are strange occurrences that are never fully explained,” the post claimed.
The screed also compared the Uvalde elementary school shooting to the death of accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, saying that “the absence of crisis leaders reminds me of the broken cameras and napping guards when Epstein committed suicide.”
Merrick Garland reminds me of when I was a kid and set off firecrackers. The ones I liked had a good resounding bang, but some of them were fizzlers, just spinning around until the powder was spent. No bang, just a little smoke.
