Two members of the House Intelligence Committee are asking the CIA and the FBI for any information their agencies have about the spread of false information campaigns meant to magnify and invoke fear about activities of left-wing protest groups like antifa.
In a letter sent Tuesday, Democratic Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois and Peter Welch of Vermont ask the heads of the two agencies specifically about foreign actors, members of the military or local police spreading false information about antifa gatherings and events.
The president’s oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., was among those perpetuating some of those, posting one of the false claims on his Instagram account. Rumors about planned protests and activities have also spread on Facebook and Nextdoor about antifa agitators in California, Idaho, South Dakota and Pennsylvania.

We are not stupid. All we have to do is watch these slugs and what they have done. Tell those parents who lost their children or the wives of the cops they killed that these are rumers. They sure think we are stupid not realizing that it is their constituants that are the idiots.
Isn't it time to declare them a terrorist organization and arrest them???????
Yes!!
Yes, it is!
Wherever antifa goes there is violence and destruction, no rumors necessary when their actions speak volumes.
