At about the 7 minute mark, Ana reads an excerpt of the memo that states the DOJ will be going back 5 years, looking for things in people's backgrounds that they want to prosecute under this new policy.I think they'll prosecute them under old laws that already existed. I'm looking, but you can call them terrorists while prosecuting them under other laws. Id be interested in any new laws. Them there's this:
"In a footnote, the Memorandum explicitly disclaims investigations based solely on activities protected by the First Amendment. But by defining the “Common Characteristics of Domestic Terrorists and Organizations” in this manner, individuals and organizations that disagree with the Trump administration undoubtedly will be concerned about federal scrutiny. "
"The key message is unmistakable: federal law enforcement will target individuals, organizations, and funders whom the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) contends are “domestic terrorists,” under a definition that links political violence to “anti-fascist” ideologies."
Here's her memo:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/20..."Through this comprehensive strategy, law enforcement will disband and uproot networks, entities, and organizations that promote organized violence, violent intimidation, conspiracies against rights, and other efforts to disrupt the functioning of a democratic society."
There are plenty of laws already in existence that can be used for this:
"assaulting Federal officers or employees or otherwise engaging in conduct proscribed by 18 U.S.C. 111; conspiracy against rights under 18 U.S.C. 241; conspiracy to commit offense under 18 U.S.C. 371; solicitation to commit a crime of violence under 18 U.S.C. 373; money laundering under 18 U.S.C. 1956;
funding of terrorist acts or otherwise facilitating terrorism under 18 U.S.C. 2339, 2339A, 2339B, 2339C, and 2339D; arson offenses under 18 U.S.C. 844; violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (18 U.S.C. 1961 et seq.); and major fraud against the United States under 18 U.S.C. 1031." Note the laws with terrorism in the name
They're forming a task force to go after antifa and similar groups, and any coordination to disrupt ICE. Cenk thinks anti Israel and anti Trump is on the offing for the JTTF. If you donate to these groups make sure it's non traceable cash, with no name, etc.
