Yarmakuled Fed Prosecutor Rosen is happy taking the side of fascism by claiming the Minnesotans are inspired and organized Antifa conspiracists. What a Judenrat loser. We look forward to the Grand Jury throwing a big fat NO at him. He should go eat the ham sandwich he would be better at indicting.

Judenrat.
