Jewish Judge Overseeing Inauguration Day Antifa Riot Trial Prejudicing the Case in Favor of Leftists

Back on January 20th, 2016, members of Antifa coalesced on Washington DC to riot.

The organizers of the January 20 riot were Legba Carrefour, Lacey McCauley, and even Jew-raffe (Mike Isaacson) of Smash Racism DC – they all self-identify as Antifas and promoted their event as so.

The promotional fliers for “Disrupt J20,” featured on Antifa webpages, had the downwards arrows Antifa groups use.

Smash Racism DC was the central organizer of the spectacle, and they still have “Antifa” in their Twitter biography, along with the same triple arrows.

Somehow, for Judge Lynn Leibovitz, there isn’t enough “evidence” to “conclude” the defendants in court organized by these individuals and in these groups are Antifas.

She is throwing out any testimony that includes the use of “Antifa” and “black bloc” on the grounds that they are “prejudicing.”

Think Progress:

Questions over what role the left-wing radical group Antifa plays in American political life in 2017 have for months been confined to partisan public discourse.

But on Tuesday that conversation made the jump from the realm of pundit thought experiments to the toothier, more practical world of basic human rights. The group’s identity became a live legal issue in a criminal case that may dramatically shrink legal protections for public dissent across the United States.

Six people face decades in prison in the case, which is the first of several to spring out of a mass arrest of hundreds of people in Washington, D.C., on Inauguration Day. The first six to be tried include a freelance photojournalist and a registered nurse who told ThinkProgress she attended the inaugural protest to serve as a field medic in the event police opted to use force to quell the march.

…

Asked about his actions on the day of the actual arrests, Officer Bryan Adelmeyer told jurors he “saw people throwing rocks at a gas station” who were “from the Black Bloc.” Judge Lynn Leibovitz cut Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Kerkhoff’s questioning short immediately, told jurors to disregard Adelmeyer’s last answer, and sent the jury out of the room to have a stern, complicated chat with lawyers from both sides.

Leibovitz first reprimanded Kerkhoff for failing to get her witness in line with her earlier ruling about the term “Black Bloc,” an old identifier used by some within the anarchist movement who use property damage as a political tactic during mass demonstrations.

…

“It could be established by an expert, but your witness is throwing it in there because he feels like it,” Leibovitz said. “I’ve ruled a hundred times your witnesses can’t use it in their own observations.”

Immediately, defense counsel expanded the discussion to include “Antifa,” telling Leibovitz that just hearing the word in association with this case could prejudice jurors who have read media coverage of the group. The first thing that comes up on a Google search for “Antifa” is a wave of images and stories about willful, organized violence, attorney Sara Kropf noted — and the court did not include questions about juror attitudes toward the group in its selection process.

…

Leibovitz didn’t entirely buy Kropf’s argument. “I don’t want to tell the jury that red is green and green is red,” she said, noting that Antifa may in fact be defined by street violence — and that it’s not her court’s place to adjudicate that question definitively.

“I don’t want to be telling them that what they may have heard is untrue. It may be true, outside this case,” Leibovitz said.

At the same time, Leibovitz said, the linguistics cut both ways here. “We’re supposed to not like fascism, so telling them ‘anti-fascist’” could end up currying a similarly unjust warm feeling toward the group among jurors, she said.

The argument ultimately devoured more than half an hour of the court’s time. It was at least the third such lengthy interruption of Adelmeyer’s testimony on Tuesday afternoon, prompting Leibovitz to apologize more than once to jurors for all the disruptions. With the panel back in their seats later in the day, the judge read off a wordy, somewhat academic instruction that lawyers from both sides had agreed was fair.

“You may have heard the word ‘Antifa’ in this trial. Antifa is short for anti-fascist or anti-fascism,” Leibovitz told the jury. “It and other terms like ‘anti-capitalism’ are descriptions of this event. In and of themselves, these words or terms are meant to describe the event, not as an indication that individuals themselves intended violence.”

According to Judge Leibovitz, an undercover cop that infiltrated the Antifa group that refers to itself as Antifa can’t call them “Antifa” because it is prejudicing.  The word brings to mind mayhem, violence and rioting.

Judge Lynn Leibovitz

You know, the crimes the defendants are on trial for!

I wonder if Judge Leibovitz would engage in such generous semantics if a witness or prosecutor called Richard Spencer a “Nazi” or “white supremacist”? Would she tell jurors to pretend they never heard it?

Members of Antifa like to pretend that the group is decentralized but this is a lie. They have autonomous chapters with an unspoken hierarchy (they LARP as anarchists, but there are shot callers), websites, meetings, even their own flags.

This “J20” thing is a big deal because both liberals and Antifas (hard to tell them apart anymore) are throwing everything they have to get these domestic terrorists off the hook. Lots of probono legal representation, positive publicity, activists surrounding the court, etc. Nobody challenges them like they do to real dissidents.

Their argument is that people have a right to burn down Washington DC and play the knock out game with elderly people in MAGA hats because Donald Trump is president.

DNC Jewish astroturf websites like Think Progress, Huffington Post (both “liberal” sites are Israel hawks, imagine my shock), Vice media, Buzzfeed, etc have out in the open Antifas and communist terrorist-sympathizers on their staff promoting the propaganda side of the story.

So much talk about Breitbart’s “link” to the Alt-Right, but it’s these mainstream corporate platforms that are emboldening paramilitary extremists. The reason the press hoaxes one story and ignores the other is because the system is outsourcing the dirty work (for states to do directly) of censorship and intimidation to the J-left.

With powerful people on their side, don’t be surprised if Judge Leibovitz oversees an acquittal.
