Oregon news has repeatedly been playing up the FBI's super duper "intelligence" saying Trump supporters might cause a problem, while Portland's antifa/blm has been "peacefully": rioting, looting, burning, and murdering for the last 200+ nights and not a word from the FBI and to my knowledge zero arrests. The Steele dossier debacle is starting to make sense.
Fun Fact: Almost every night antifa/blm does more damage and violence to Portland than was done at the Capital. The majority of the very few that do actually get arrested have all charges dropped by D.A. Mike Schmidt while the rest of the state's Democrat leadership gives zero f's.
Its not hard to imagine a situation where things could get out of hand with a crowd that large with emotions so high, and he knew antifa was going to be there so it seems more likely than not something was going to happen. Was the impact of having a massive crowd in front of the Capital worth the potential downside of a big mess unless there was a good reason?
