Attorney General Bill Barr encouraged federal prosecutors to choose the most serious charges for those arrested for violent crimes during protests, including by way of a rarely used sedition law that would charge the demonstrators with plotting to overthrow the U.S. government.

I think that when it comes to charges of sedition, Mr. Barr should be the first in line to be shackled and perp-walked off the public stage.

Speaking of perp walked, what exactly can Fu-bar be charged with once he’s shown the door, and by what body? Because that needs to happen.

But, before filing sedition charges, can you still have the anonymous federal agents pull the protesters off the street into unmarked vans?

Or is that just for the peaceful protesters?

Wake me up when Barr, et alia, feel the same way about the pale, perfidious Bundy Types with storehouses of guns/ammo, extremely stupid ideas, and raging ignorance of the US Constitution.

Somehow I don’t think this means any Boogaloo Boys are going to be charged with anything.

Well, maybe they can retry passing the 2017 bills saying it’s okay to run over protesters.

Lawmakers in North Dakota, North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee and Texas proposed bills that would make it legal for drivers to hit protesters if the driver did not do so willfully, according to Mick Bullock, a spokesman for the National Conference of State Legislatures.

A similar bill also was introduced in Rhode Island, according to the state General Assembly’s website.

So would a government official encouraging some people to stock up on ammunition to fight a coming civil war be considered sedition? Or just marching while chanting in support of black lives? Some clarification would be helpful.

Barr is going to have to be dealt with by his own DOJ. A fat pension doesn’t do mean much if you live in Russia West.
