Carl Nichols, a federal judge appointed by former President Donald Trump, has declined further examination of a charge raised by an accused Capitol rioter alleging that federal officials should also arrest racial justice protesters from Portland, Oregon for committing similar crimes against the government.
The accused rioter, Garret Miller, claimed that he was the victim of "selective prosecution." As proof, Miller pointed to the Department of Justice's decision not to issue mass prosecutions against Black Lives Matter (BLM) and anti-fascist (Antifa) rioters involved in demonstrations in Portland, Oregon during summer 2020.
Miller asked the court to compel discovery and grant an evidentiary hearing on his claim. In other words, he wanted additional time to explore his claim and then hold a court hearing to lay out his case of "selective prosecution."

Interesting how judges appointed by the orange boy continue to shoot down his supporters. I know he put them on the bench to do his bidding. How's that working out for you???

The guilty continue to distract, deflect and denigrate the fact tellers.

These people...smh.
The only thing possibly that could have had charges was the people involved in the Seattle CHOP. But even then they weren't trying to overthrow the government. They set up an attempted autonomous zone. It wasn't very smart - and there's conflicting reports that Barr talked about charging them with sedition but he denied it.
Otherwise anything with BLM was mostly peaceful. The things classified as violent riots were either outside agitators OR police escalating peaceful protests by attacking protesters.
