Biden's DOJ Has Dropped 'More than One-Third' of Cases Against Portland Rioters

Department of Justice has been quietly dismissing federal cases against violent leftists.

Local news outlet KGW revealed this week that "more than one-third of cases" against violent rioters have been dismissed since Biden took office in January.

“Federal prosecutors have dismissed more than one-third of cases stemming from last summer’s violent protests in downtown Portland when protesters clashed with federal agents,” the station reported Wednesday.

KGW “reviewed federal court records and found 31 of the 90 protest cases have been dismissed by the U.S. Department of Justice, including a mix of misdemeanor and felony charges.”

"Some of the most serious charges dropped include four defendants charged with assaulting a federal officer, which is a felony," the report adds."More than half of the dropped charges were ‘dismissed with prejudice,’ which several former federal prosecutors described as extremely rare."

No doubt others have been too.

I am not at all surprised by this.

I am not at all surprised by this.

Neither am I, the charged were bogus in the first place, the Justice department admitted they could never get a conviction so drop the charges and quit wasting everyone's time.

Billy Williams was the US Attorney under Trump and has now resigned.

In a recent interview with KGW, Williams explained the cases were dismissed in instances where prosecutors didn’t believe they could prove a case beyond a reasonable doubt.
“Each case was analyzed for the evidence that we had at the time," said Williams. "Careful decisions were made on whether or not someone should be charged based on the evidence."
Williams explained decisions are made on a case-by-case basis.

Feds quietly dismiss dozens of Portland protest cases

KGW found 31 of 90 protest cases have been dismissed by the U.S. Department of Justice, despite warnings there would be “consequences for acts of violence."

Never let it be said that lefties don't support rioters, so long as their the "right" rioters.

I saw that. It's a lie, of course. These cases have been pending for months and suddenly, now that Joe is the prez, prosecutors decide they can't get convictions?

The left loves their rioters. They terrorize for the right reasons

Then why not dismiss all 90 cases? The cases were dismissed while Trump's guy was in charge.

I imagine because many can't be excused. Believe it or not, there are some thing that lefties do that even other lefties find hard to excuse. You wouldn't know that though.

The guy in charge was appointed by Trump. Biden has not appointed a successor yet. The decision to drop those charges was based upon a lack of evidence as determined by the prosecution. Do you have any evidence you'd like to send their way?

Lol.

Joe Biden's AG (head of the DoJ) has not been confirmed yet.

It is still basically Trumps DOJ.

That backfired.

1. So when were these people charged? You say it was months ago. The fact is you haven't a clue.
2. So what if they have been pending. How long is the queue of cases for the federal prosecutor in Portland? Bet that is another thing you just don't have a clue about.
3. What were they charged with? What evidence was there?

So you say "it's a lie". Prove it.

You can't hold a person if they're not charged. That's kind of the rules.

Remember when every action by the DOJ in 2017 was blamed on Obama because it was the deepstate? Now, 45 days into the Biden administration he is to blame for Trump DOJ decisions to drop charges against demonstrators where there isn't enough evidence to prosecute...

I have a distinct feeling they need no more evidence from me, but we know how lefties love and support their rioters.

No, it is actually NOT Trumps DOJ. Donald Trump is no longer President. Did you not get the memo, Joe Biden is our new President, and therefore, they do NOT answer to Donald Trump. Do you believe Trump still has some magical power over the DOJ? Stop with your silliness...

Right.

But Bidens AG has not been confirmed yet. The DoJ is still being run by Trump appointee. AKA it isnt Bidens DOJ yet.

This is simple stuff.

What were the dates that charges were dropped? Do you know? Did you also know that Monty Wilkinson is the acting DOJ and Merick Garland has yet to be confirmed.
Billy Williams was the US Attorney in Portland. He resigned at the end of February. Scott Asphaug was named acting US attorney in Portland on Febrary 28th.

The 31 cases dropped were not all dropped from 2/28 to now...
