The Feds Get Creative and Sidestep Portland's District Attorney

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/bethb...sidestep-portlands-district-attorney-n2575561

Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt said he wouldn't prosecute those involved in the Black Lives Matter "protests."

Because of that, the feds sidestepped the local government. The U.S. Marshals came in and deputized Oregon State Police troopers. That means troopers have the ability to arrest someone for a federal crime and turn them over to federal prosecutors instead of state or local prosecutors.

 

The significance of this charge is that rioters in Ore. can now be FEDERALLY charged for crimes against state officers. It was reported yesterday @ORStatePolice have been cross-deputized by the federal government. This bypasses @DAMikeSchmidt's catch & release policy. #antifa https://t.co/CXSVMM23py

And Fed rules are different.  They really don't have parole.
