Kash Patel: The FBI Is "On the Verge" Of Mapping Antifa's and Trantifa's Funding and Command Structures

Wait a minute -- ideas don't have funding and command structures!!!

And yet Antifa and Trantifa do.

By the way, I'm now capitalizing both to indicate that they are real organizations like ISIS and not just "ideas." I think the left started this psyop of spelling "antifa" with no capital "A" to suggest to people it's Just An Idea That Doesn't Exist.

FBI Director Kash Patel tells Just the News that the bureau is "on the verge" of unmasking the command structure and financing for anarchist groups like Antifa that have unleashed unrest around America and has also identified potential new criminal activity related to the abuse of federal law enforcement and intelligence.

...

He said there are indications that some support may come from overseas enemies and U.S. nonprofit groups that have tax exemptions from the IRS.

"Look, the thing I can tell you is that money doesn't lie, and the thing we're doing at the FBI is following the money," Patel explained. "And thanks to President Trump, we now have Antifa designated, rightfully so, as a domestic terror organization. And we have had multiple investigations going on."

...

Patel's comments came as a federal grand jury on Wednesday night indicted two people allegedly tied to Antifa on terrorism charges for an attack in July on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Texas.

The two individuals, identified as Cameron Arnold and Zachary Evetts, were charged with providing material support for terrorism, attempting to murder federal and assisting officers and discharging firearms during attempted murders.

...

That indictment undercut the argument made by many Democrats and even some journalists who have argued that Antifa is not a group, but rather just a mere ideology. Most notably, Keith Ellison, attorney general of Minnesota, recently said that "nobody even knows what it is," but conservative pundits were quick to point to receipts, such as Powerlineblog.com, which published a photo of Ellison proudly holding a book in 2018 titled, "Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook."

...

"Someone is paying for this. These are organized acts of violence, fully funded by people who don't even live necessarily in these communities, showing up in the dozens with the same placards, the same helmets, the same riot gear. Someone's paying for it, and we're on the verge of finding that out next to these new authorities," he added.

The FBI's top boss detailed that these probes have found fascinating connections, including between traditional anarchist groups like Antifa and transgender activist groups that are incubating in places like social media platforms favored by gamers.

...

Patel confirmed that he is similarly concerned that foreign enemies from Iran, China, Cuba and Venezuela may also be involved in creating a toxic brew of radicalization in this network.

He tells people to be "patient" about the pace of the prosecution of the Democrat Deep State government-weaponizers.

"We are looking at so many different leads on criminal activity by those who are in positions of power, and we're not going to stop until every single one of those is fully exposed," Patel said during a wide-ranging interview this week on the "Just the News, No Noise" television show.

When asked whether more indictments against those accused of weaponizing government may be ahead, he said: "the documents are provided either to Congress or the courts of law and we make every referral we can under the Department of Justice.

"These indictments that you've seen, and the ones that you're going to see coming up here in this near future, are just the beginning," he added.

...

"I have to remind the audience of one thing. Everybody's like, it's seven months. What have you guys been doing? Well, they spent 20 years building this diseased temple of corruption," he said. "It takes a little bit of time to defeat it and beat it down. I'm not asking you to trust me. I'm asking you to look at the work the men and women of the FBI have done so far in these seven, eight months, and just imagine what we're going to do come the year's end."

Speaking of Antifa: the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overruled yet another Antifa Judge who tried to protect her Antifa allies from the National Guard.

After years of unrest and political defiance, a federal appeals court on Monday cleared President Donald Trump to send in the National Guard -- a major legal win that shatters a lower court's block and hands the White House control over a city Democrats let spiral into chaos.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, long regarded as one of the nation's most liberal benches, ruled 2-1 in favor of the president, overturning one of two temporary restraining orders that had halted the Guard's deployment. The majority opinion, written by Judges Ryan Nelson and Bridget Bade concluded that the president likely acted within his authority under 10 U.S.C. §12406(3), which allows the federalization of the National Guard when "the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States." "After considering the record at this preliminary stage, we conclude that it is likely that the President lawfully exercised his statutory authority," the judges wrote.

During oral arguments, Nelson acknowledged that critics feared potential misuse of the Guard but said the court found "no evidence of that." The lone dissenter sided with Oregon officials who accused Trump of political grandstanding. That argument mirrored an earlier decision by a Portland district judge who branded Trump's actions "untethered to reality" and accused him of blurring "the line between civil and military power." The White House, in a sharp response, said it was the judge who was "untethered in reality," vowing to defend the president's constitutional authority.

Oregon Assistant Attorney General Stacy Chaffin had argued that Trump exaggerated the violence in Portland and that the protests did not amount to a "rebellion." But Trump's team countered that the city's years of rioting, vandalism, and assaults on law enforcement more than met the legal threshold for federal action.
