The US attorney general, Pam Bondi, instructed law enforcement officials on Thursday to investigate antifa and other supposed domestic terror groups, and specifically directed them to search for “tax crimes” the groups may have committed, according to a memo obtained by the Guardian.

The document signals how the Trump administration and Bondi are ramping up efforts to crack down on leftwing groups. Antifa, short for antifascist, is not a clearly defined organization, but rather a loose network of activists. Trump signed an executive order in September declaring it a domestic terrorism organization – something legal experts say he does not have the authority to do.

“These domestic terrorists use violence or the threat of violence to advance political and social agendas, including opposition to law and immigration enforcement; extreme views in favor of mass migration and open borders; adherence to radical gender ideology, anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, or anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; hostility towards traditional views on family, religion, and morality; and an elevation of violence to achieve policy outcomes, such as political assassinations,” Bondi wrote in the document.

Bondi’s Thursday memo was sent to all law enforcement agencies and prosecutors as part of an effort to implement Trump’s executive order and an accompanying presidential memorandum. In addition to prioritizing investigations, she instructed all federal law enforcement agencies to “review their files and holdings for Antifa and Antifa-related intelligence and information and coordinate delivery of such material to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for review” within 14 days. It also instructed the FBI to come up with a list of domestic terror groups and calls for a disseminating intelligence on antifa.

[underpants]

13. 👍🙄😂

[Diraven]

32. They'll use this to go after other groups

Basically they can just say any liberal group is "supporting Antifa" and then they're guilty of tac crimes.

[Turbineguy]

10. It's a great time to be a real criminal.

At least, for now.

[Scrivener7]

11. They'll have to find "antifa groups" first, and as "antifa groups" don't exist, this could be challenging.

[Pas-de-Calais]

12. Came here to say same

15. The definition of "antifa" will be available in two weeks.

[reACTIONary]

17. No. A concept of a definition.

[sakabatou]

34. "Well, ain't this idea a chronological oddity. Two weeks away from everything!"

[Uncle Joe]

19. I don't believe they will use any more diligence

with actually identifying "antifa groups" than they do actually kicking "the worst of the worst" out of the nation, little to none.

*rump's DOJ will make it up if they have to, they already started just by abusing the language, and lying about a non-existent threat.

[underpants]

14. Aside from the obvious jokes about Pamela Jo, they could just label an individual as AntuFa

and start investigating them which means they need a lawyer AND a tax lawyer.

16. Release the Epstein files............what are you afraid of .......... that some one was being blackmailed..............

I've been looking for them but it's like they don't exist.

[dgauss]

26. They just keep doubling down on their alternate reality strategy.

They believe it will eventually work.

[Deuxcents]

27. If a person donates to XYZ and they suddenly are labeled "antifa", do all donors get arrested?

What is their definition of antifa organizations and what are their criteria to designate a terrorist organization? Has the media asked for any details?

[TommyT139]

31. That's what rethugs tried to do in Georgia.

Peaceful protesters against a proposed militarized police training facility in Atlanta (nicknamed "Cop City," if you want a useful search term) were brought up on domestic terrorism charges. Contributors to a bail fund -- people who had never set foot in the protest area -- were charged with criminal conspiracy and RICO.Video cameras were set up secretly outside the homes of activists. And not to be forgotten, police shot and killed an unarmed protester.

This past September, charges were dismissed by a judge...after two years of people who were exercising their civil rights being terrorized and their lives upended.

But this sort of thinking isn't going away. And the types of laws that allowed the people charged in Georgia to get their lives back -- because of a sane judge -- other red states have been changing those laws to criminalize protest ever since the summer George Floyd was murdered.

Trump's federal regime isn't starting from zero on this plan.


As far as criteria to designate what qualifies as a terrorist organization, that already exists. It has not gotten enough attention.

28. Just after January 6, Republicans recognized it as a violent event and blamed Antifa. Trump pardoned them.

There's a list of 1500 Antifa names available right now.

29. If everyone starts posting antifa meeting and meet up events....

Anonymously, that ought to have the dog chasing its tail

30. Antifa LLC

They’d better have their books in order. 🙄

[sinkingfeeling]

33. Who knew non-organizations have to file taxes?

[Vinca]

35. Well, guess they need to start with the U.S. Army. Can't imagine anything more "antifa" that freeing

Europe from the Nazis.

[intheflow]

37. "... an elevation of violence to achieve policy outcomes, such as political assassinations..."

Yes, antifa throws sandwiches and tries to rescue humans from masked, state-sponsored kidnappings. We famously have NEVER erected gallows to hang our own party’s sitting vice president. I fucking hate this low IQ bitch.

[Martin68]

38. The non-existent antifa "organizations" can send in an imaginary check from an imaginary bank account.

[LiberalLovinLug]

39. Just once...Just ONCE, I'd like to see a reporter ask.....

"If you are actively going after people who call themselves Anti-Fascists, what does that make you?"
