- The director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation told Congress on Thursday that anarchist and extremist “Antifa” demonstrators who engaged in recent violent protests are targets of serious FBI investigations.

At a hearing of the Republican-led Senate Homeland Security committee, Christopher Wray said that the Bureau had seen “organized tactical activity at both the local and regional level.” Antifa, short for anti-fascist, is an amorphous movement"who believe in active, aggressive opposition to far right-wing movements," accordingWray stressed that while there are active probes into Antifa and other extremist groups, these organizations numerically are much smaller in number. He said that peaceful protesters, as well as criminal opportunists, who engaged in low-level vandalism and looting outnumber organized extremist groups.

Acting DHS deputy secretary Kenneth Cuccinelli, who earlier this summer had strongly emphasized the role of anarchists in urban protests, at Thursday’s hearing acknowledged there was evidence that white supremacists carried out the most lethal incidents in recent years.

QAnon StopTrump

What does it say about the USofA when they have to investigate anti-fascists. 🙄

But not the crazed rabid hateful destructive vandalizing violent WHITE SUPREMACIST MAGA MILITIA ? FBI

The 'fa' too, I hope

The dude is barking up the wrong tree.

Uh huh

How about All those white nationalist boys? And the Nazi groups? And the full on White Supremacists? You know like the one that started the Auto Zone fire? Or the Boogaloo crew? Like the one that killed two officers in a California?

The look you make when you missed WOODSTOCK 2 or You mean your FLOWER CHILDREN children years later?

Any Antifa that are committing violent crimes need to pay their debt to society just like Trumper bigots that commit violent crimes.

We have heard that bullshit many times before........America will be burned down by the time you get around to doing anything.

Only antifa? How about the Marxist blm? And while they are at it how about investigating the FBI?

Antifa here.

Do they have the numbers to investigate every anti fascist. I just took two off what they were doing by posting this.

Gee, move any faster FBI and we all might have whip lash! 🙄

What's to find?

Great news

Who is the leader of 'antifa' ya dumb sobs..

As he is.

Good, all extremist groups should be.

But, yesterday you said they are an ideology Make up your mind...this looks very incompetent!!!!

Sure they are. This jackass knows his agents tried a coup and hasn't arrested one of them. We all see the evidence against Comey and the rest of them.

Meanwhile: In testimony before a Democratic-led House Homeland Security hearing last week, Wray told lawmakers that the largest 'chunk' of the FBI's investigations involve white supremacist groups.

🙄

Meanwhile, the FBI considers QAnon to be a domestic terrorist threat, but they're not doing dick about it. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

FBI warns against foreign disinformation regarding election resultsThe FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency have warned the public that foreign actors might spread disinformation about the results of the 2020 election and encouraged voters to be patient with delayed results Free medical coverage Besides, it takes time to stuff ballot boxes or to appear out of nowhere with car trunks filled with ballots all magically filled out for Democrat candidates. We know your playbook and we hate you for it. That's why we are going to make sure realDonaldTrump wins in a landslide.
