Hey, CNN: Prosecutors are trying to track down Inauguration Day rioters, not ‘Trump opponents’
You wouldn’t know it from reading or watching the news, but there still is news out there being made. CNN reported Thursday that federal prosecutors scored a big win when a D.C. Superior Court judge ordered web-hosting firm Dreamhost to hand over information, including the membership lists maintained by the organizers of the website disruptj20.org.

Prosecutors indicted almost 200 people on local rioting charges connected to the inauguration; six police officers were reported injured as members of the antifa “smashed storefronts and bus stops, hammered out the windows of a limousine and eventually launched rocks at a phalanx of police lined up in an eastbound crosswalk.”
It looks like the administration is serious about tracking down and punishing rioters, but many who read CNN’s tweet were struck by that rather generic reference to “protesters.”
You spelled Antifa terrorists wrong.

Umm, you mean they're investigating Antifa? This is a good thing. They are not protestors. They're violent communists and terrorists. https://t.co/q9ETjdu1g1

Why would any Judge do this to such a great group of thugs like ANTIFA?
