Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec echoed that message Monday with what she called another warning to protesters who might deface or tear down statues in the midst of the demonstrations about police violence.It’s a crime to destroy fed property. It’s a crime to assault a fed law enforcement officer.We WILL continue to prosecute these crimes to fullest extent of law.
"Given the inherent conflict of interest present, appointment of an outside prosecutor is needed to ensure impartiality of any investigation and, if warranted, of any prosecution of any criminal acts committed by members of the executive branch," wrote Kate Ruane, senior legislative counsel at the ACLU.The ACLU said the federal action in the square violated protesters' First Amendment rights to assemble and Fourth Amendment rights to be free of unreasonable search and seizure.
The civil liberties group said other statutes could come into play as well, including a federal law that bars conspiracies to injure or intimidate people exercising their constitutional rights and another statute that prohibits interfering with people engaged in lawful speech or peaceful assembly.Any Justice Department decision to appoint a special counsel would be unusual but not unprecedented.
Hard to find more pertinent footage like this since it is unlisted/unsearchable even with the exact title and embeds always fail in cross platform posts. Odd what big tech/media feel should be hidden from public view. Use link above
“Please appoint someone to investigate your wrong-doing.” Oh yeah, that’s gonna work. 🙄
😂 good luck with that
Ok, wtf is that on the right of this pic? Someone dressed up a chewed up piece of bubblegum in army green? Army strong, more like Army obese. And is that a Ranger patch? This Ranger leads the way...to the chow hall. Hoo-uh.
Haha!!!
Space Force
Good luck with that.
barrBandit Trump loves lawsuits, he has so many of his own he can't keep count of attracting more from others for his devastating actions, commanding Barr butcher to torture peaceful Americans Wishing health harmony to whole world
The ACLU should be encouraging an investigation of Governor Cuomo for his policy of putting senior citizens in nursing homes during covid and so many dying.
That's a very commendable thing the ACLU is doing but don't expect it to get too far after all you're asking the very same people who violates people's rights to investigate themselves not going to happen.
Revisit the identity of DC protesters, arrest and prosecute!
Wasting their time. William Barr is there to protect Trump.
Zom_Bee_Nature And that special prosecutor will be hired after November 3.
'Barr has a conflict of interest'. TheJusticeDept
Isn’t that like asking the Cookie Monster to pick an investigator to find out who ate the cookies?
Don’t care what you guys do. However, I really object to my taxpayer dollar financing your organization.
Fat chance of that happening. I’m pretty sure Barr was firing a few rubber bullets himself.
The treatment of protesters is one of the great scandals of the Trump era.
Like asking these fox to guard the hen house isn't it?
Defund NPR. It's the propoganda wing of the Biden Campaign, make the DemocRATs pay for it.
Barr needs to be disbarred and removed.
So... asking the fox to investigate who broke into the henhouse?
Wait. Barr is supposed to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the actions that he said he ordered? Lol, not likely.
Special prosecutor? Not gonna happen. 𝘐𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦: 𝘈𝘎 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘮 𝘉𝘢𝘳𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵.
But NPR totally backs BLM and ANTIFA and their terrorist acts. They both need to be labeled as terrorist organizations, you say something they don't agree with and kill you. Sounds like Fascism to me
I'm sure Barr will get right to this one!
Did the group of protesters have a permit to be in Lafayette park that day?
There is no 'right' to riot and destroy.
Can't wait for Barr to share a cell with Trump.
He’s the one who ordered the attack, he’s not going to investigate himself. 😂
So 18 months later, when they do find some stuff but really don't want to do anything about it we can validate with absolute certainty that not a damn thing has changed?
I’m pretty sure Barr is advising to not hold your breath on that one.
Won’t happen, because Trump called for that action! Biden2020
ALCU should have been out there helping instead of hurting the situation..
You mean the rioters that tried to burn down St. John's Episcopal Church.
I'm sure he'll get right on that!
That’s not going to happen....he’s Trump’s lapdog.
They want Barr to investigate himself? Never gonna happen.
'Protestors' is a weird way to spell 'rioter.'
