The Northwest Nonsense
Lawfare, like that used against President Trump, now lives in Portland.
Consider what happened to online journalist Nick Sortor.
Antifa terrorists, laying siege to ICE in Southwest Portland, didn’t like Sortor videotaping their crimes.
One Antifa assaulted Sortor. Bizarelly, police arrested the victim, not the assailant.
Then the cops took an hour to figure out what crime to charge Sortor with.
They settled for the catch all, 2nd degree disorderly conduct.
Monday morning, Sortor’s attorney, Angus Lee, filed a legal demand for all communications between the terrorist group and police.
Less than an hour later, the DA announced “all charges dropped,” to wipe out the discovery motion.
Attorney Lee accuses Portland police of not only ignoring crimes by Antifa, but of using their power of arrest to thwart Antifa coverage by journalists.
Lee charges that police coordinated with the designated terrorist group.
They DO say politics makes strange bedfellows.
Angus Lee promises to file what’s known as a federal 1983 complaint charging police with violating Sortor’s civil rights.
Meanwhile, President Trump’s Department of Justice has launched a civil rights investigation of its own of the Portland police.
Part-time police Chief Bob Day’s chickens are coming home to roost.
