    So he brought in a better team because he couldn't find anything

    And you don't see how Antifa is a terrorist organization?

    Actually, Antifa is almost entirely a result of MSM propaganda, as the OP hints at—so in that vein I'd call it more artificial than organic. Truly organic I'd say is the WN movement, which is in its essence really nothing more than a natural reaction to the ever increasing threat of their displacement.
    Nevertheless there is little variation in their behavior. There is no reason to be technical here.

    Did you even read?

    Can't forget this either.

    Re-read my previous post.

    It's a thin line. You have the far-right who are tea-partiers. They are essentially extremely religious & very economically conservative. So anti-gay, much smaller federal government, states should have more power etc. alt-right are essentially hate groups who've traded their white sheets/swazitika tattoos for suits & are trying to be more mainstream. They want to stop the country from diversifying & wish to have their own nation. They view other races as inferior.

    Too smart* to spread their propaganda in public. That would accomplish nothing.

    Exactly. They didn't find anything. So they handed it over. When he said "When CI brings a case to a U.S. Attorney, it is done. It's wrapped up with a ribbon and a bow. It's just comprehensive," Sheil told Woodruff." theyre making sure everything is looked over.

    That shows nothing lol. Just shows that they didn't think trumps original letter was formal enough

    I did. Shows you support a terrorist organization

    Genetic superiority is not a central tenet of the movement, or a necessary one. In fact, Jared Taylor will freely admit that East Asians average higher IQ scores than whites.

    :S what are you reading? The FBI does not have the financial crime expertise to continue to investigate trump & his associates finances so they brought in the IRS who do have the expertise. The investigation is still ongoing, what do you mean "they found nothing?"

    No, his lawyer found the wording legally problematic & shut it down. Mueller can use that letter to prove intent in a court room. If Trump's intention were to fire Comey because of the Russia investigation – that's illegal.

    Exactly. They found nothing but want to find something.

    Youre jumping to huge conclusions

    Not having the right expertise does not mean "they found nothing." When police detectives go to a medical examiner to determine cause of death, does that mean their investigation is over? They found nothing? No. They are getting experts from other fields to help them.

    The IRS isn't taking over the case dumb a---. They are being brought in due to their expertise in financial crimes which is just one segment of the investigation. Mueller's team is still looking into his firing of Comey, Trump Jr's meeting with a Russian lawyer to obtain info on Hillary Clinton, Paul Manafort and his connections to the Russian government etc.

    At least he stopped pretending he knows the first thing about the Alt Right. For now.

    a radical thought: if voicing your opinions in public would destroy your cause, maybe you have bad opinions

    It's just that in its current stage the internet is a much more effective medium of indoctrination. We can't realistically expect to overcome decades of brainwashing (thanks to people like you) by running around howling about white genocide. Better to let it play out in due time. The worse things get the more numerous we will become. And once we reach a certain multitude, that's when we'll go public and start taking over.
