Acting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Chad Wolf stated that the Justice Department is looking into arresting leaders of Black Lives Matter (BLM) amid protests over the shooting of Jacob Blake by police officer Rusten Sheskey.
“Do you think the Department of Homeland Security is getting the help it needs from the Justice Department?” Fox News host Tucker Carlson asked. “Why haven’t we seen the leaders of antifa and BLM arrested and charged for conspiracy under, say, [Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Law], like the heads of the mafia families were?”
“This is something I talked to the AG personally about and I know that they are working on it,” Wolf replied, referring to Attorney General Bill Barr.
The DHS chief also stated that the Justice Department is “targeting and investigating the head of these organizations, the individuals that are paying for these individuals to move across the country.”
Carlson pressed Wolf on why the “funders” of the anti-police brutality protests “haven’t been punished.”
“Again, I would say that again the Department of Justice, who has the lead in all of those investigations, are certainly moving as quickly as possible,” Wolf said.
There is no evidence that the protesters are being paid by BLM leaders or anyone else, for that matter, nor is there evidence that BLM is directly responsible for violence at the protests.

I have a feeling that strategy won’t go well for the feds.
So if black people peacefully protest for being murdered it’s an assault on democracy and the rule of law, and if white people actively say they are trying to overthrow the government, murder police, do a purge, or a pogrum it’s freedom of speech. Or self defense.
Is this a new Soros-jim crow conspiracy?
I don’t get it. An anchor on Fox Business is fired for saying that the Covid-19 pandemic is a Dem hoax (Which is essentially the same thing Mr. Trump says), while Tucker Carlson can call for purely fascist government actions and nothing happens to him?
The DHS chief also stated that the Justice Department is “targeting and investigating the head of these organizations, the individuals that are paying for these individuals to move across the country.”
So if a bunch of people trek to Washinton D.C. to protest inequality, and various members of the public buy their gasoline to get there, give them a free room and buy them their meals while they’re in town, those citizens have “funded” radical terrorists and Bill Barr can target them.
Seems legit.
Being Caucasian is a pretty sweet gig, you have to admit. Everybody should be one.
