DOJ targets funding to New York, Portland and Seattle as jurisdictions ‘permitting violence'

earlier this month, in which he demanded Barr and the Office of Management and Budget to identify cities and states whose leaders"have contributed to the violence and destruction in their jurisdictions by failing to enforce the law, disempowering and significantly defunding their police departments, and refusing to accept offers of Federal law enforcement assistance."Attorney General William Barr speaks during an event at the White House in Washington, Aug 04, 2020.

Police advance on protesters to clear a street on the 100th consecutive night of protests against police violence and racial inequality, in Portland, Oregon, on Sept. 5, 2020. Barr has similarly made the issue one of his top priorities, leveling fiery attacks against local officials in the three cities while threatening direct intervention in cases where federal property or officials are endangered.Last week, the Justice Department confirmed that officials researched the possibility of bringing criminal or civil rights charges against Portland city officials related to their response to growing unrest in the city throughout the summer.

demNAZI leaders are failing their people, They are letting criminals run their cities

They’ll see this pos in court!

I support this policy 100%

This is a great development. Why don’t you try supporting the president. Or do you just love violence?

Trump did not clean the swamp in Senate and Congress, He Promised before elected but actually joined it as their leader. He now is the head alligator in the swamp. SO SAD and SO BAD for our Nation

Trump an inveterate liar that only fools could ever believe what he says or stands for. And Barr more of the samed

maybe it's time states control keep the money they earned for themselves instead of giving to Trump and his cronies.

Old 'Bullfrog' Billy Barr croaks out his loyalty to TyRant a'SourUS Trump (of the big rotten pumpkin head, massive trunk & hips, tiny arms & legs) Lording it over the other Swamp Things in DC (their DeathCamp) where they meet to devour their meat.😱

Dumb

This is good if republican voters in those areas wake up to the fact that they're being short-changed as well.

Yeah, sure.

It's beyond legally dubious. Trump/Barr tried this nonsense with 'sanctuary cities.' Got their butts kicked in court. Now they are back with an equally illegal and improper use of federal funds appropriated by Congress. Add this to the list of reasons Barr should be impeached.

IMPEACH BARR

TELL YA WHAT ,,YOU ALL PAY FOR ALL THE DAMAGE THE SOROS/DEM/COMMUNIST HAVE DONE TO OUR CITIES.....WE THE PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO PAY FOR WHAT THEY WERE ALLOWED TO DESTROY.

I'm sure New York will be happy to keep their money. Since they contribute more than they take.

QUIT ALLOWING THE DESTRUCTION OF YOUR CITIES! WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR REBUILDING A COMMUNITY THAT ALLOWS THEM TO DESTROY IT!

Wow. When did DOJ or the AG get a say in federal spending. I thought Congress had that authority under article 2 of the Constitution, but I guess I am misinformed. Wow.

Is this legal? The level of dirty politics being played by the Republicans is disgusting. The only way you guys can win is by cheating?

I think New York should hold its funds back. Let’s see how Billy and Donnie like that

Meanwhile.....ABC News forgot all about this story...... Gee I wonder why.........

can't wait for this whole admin. to get wiped up this Nov. why are these conservatives so vile and heartless?

This is what happens in a dictatorship & we are almost there.

He is a warthog.

since when was funding for cities an issue for the DOJ?

tedlieu This is what happens when dems don’t stick to their integrity and choose to play politics instead.

You can’t fix stupid - more bias filled reporting from the Fake news purveyors!

KeithOlbermann Actively conspiring to overthrow any of the several governments in the United States is defined as 'Sedition.'

KeithOlbermann How can he do this

KeithOlbermann I look forward to seeing both Trump and Low Barr paraded along Pennsylvania Avenue in a tumbril on the way to their most-deserved post-2020 election vacations—lengthy stays in the new “Presidential Wing” at the Leavenworth 'Bastille' facility.

Barr is pitiful. Hopefully he will go away after the election.

Low Barr needs to be removed from his position of open fawning for Trump.

So the Trump administration is defunding the police

KeithOlbermann Taxation without Representation!

KeithOlbermann

Good !!!

Well, looks like Dem (and HOPEFULLY Independent) voters in NY, Portland and Seattle have even more reason to get this shitbag out of office.

Trump what have you done for America—nothing in 4 years—you’re a failure to Americans—vote BIDEN to make America great again 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

KeithOlbermann This is all very 1774...

Get all at fault

Democrats always dislike when their organized rebellions are threatened.

When you have radical leftist dictators allowing the rule of law to be eroded to fit their agenda, withdrawing funds is one way to shut down their unAmerican plans.

Did he take off his red MAGA hat for the photo?

When Obama was president he offered states that voted against billions of dollars to do Medicaid expansion This is what trump does When will republicans moderate from their radical trajectory of the last 20 years?

You know who funds Washington, Trump, and Barr the DOJ? The West Coast. We’re fine not paying Federal Taxes too! We put more in then we get out.

Good luck with that Billy. Can't wait to see what bullshit you try to push. ImpeachBarr corruptAG criminalAttorneyGeneral

So if those cities no longer receive funding do they still have to pay into federal taxes?

Please ImpeachBarr

Defund police? He says nah, we'll just defund the cities entirely.

Bill Barr needs to be impeached now. The judicial branch has been politicized like never before. Our democracy is on the brink of collapse if we do not hold him accountable. He will intervene in the election process if we let him.

All this in realDonaldTrump America. Gross! Vote Vote Vote Biden/Harris!

Justice Dept. deems New York City, Portland and Seattle 'anarchist jurisdictions'NEW: US Justice Dept. deems NYC, Portland and Seattle “anarchist jurisdictions' under President Trump's instructions earlier this month to review federal funding to state and local governments where violence or vandalism has taken place during protests. This 'government' only has an eye on the money, as if it were theirs alone. Funny how conservatives don’t act like apes and destroy/murder/loot. “I like taking the guns early, like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida ... to go to court would have taken a long time,” Trump said at a meeting with lawmakers on school safety and gun violence. “Take the guns first, go through due process second,” Trump

The guy who was so high that he was thrown off a train naked, then died of PCP asphyxiation a week later? The police are not the ones who scare me in NYC! Hoe about new law putting cameras in all of Trump’s office meetings. See and record everything. Trump said he’d be the most transparent president ever.
