Rep Jerry Nadler is calling on the DOJ to review Rittenhouse shootings for potential federal charges





?s=20


@politvidchannel
Nadler: "This heartbreaking verdict is a miscarriage of justice and sets a dangerous precedent which justifies federal review by DOJ. Justice cannot tolerate armed persons crossing state lines looking for trouble while people engage in First Amendment-protected protest."

Most people on both sides and the media are not interested in facts, only in pushing their prefered narrative. I'd like to think we on the left are above it, but this case has proven that not to be true.

The vast majority here were willing to overlook video evidence, forensic evidence, witness testimony and serious prosecutorial misconduct and major 5th amendment violations all because KR is a right wing, gun toting white kid.

I don't know whether Nadler has a point regarding the DOJ looking into it but still, good job to both for making the Democratic Party appear clueless with dumb, careless statements.

I don't see how they have any chance going the civil rights route. This was a street fight. Let it die.

I know the buyer is in legal jeopardy but what about the other half of the scheme?

Honest question. I don’t know.

It’s hard to believe two people can conspire to circumvent the law and only one gets charged.
