In 2017, Antifa and its anarcho-Marxist allies and a few small white supremacist groups engaged in violent activity at political rallies. However, the Department of Justice prosecuted only the white supremacists under the Anti-Riot Act of 1968. A federal court has finally called foul on this unconstitutional government bias.
The decision, by Judge Cormac J. Carney (a George W. Bush nominee), is in United States of America v. Rundo et al. The defendants, both self-avowed white supremacists, moved to dismiss the charges against them under the Anti-Riot Act because the government violated the equal protection clause when it failed to prosecute anarcho-Marxists for identical activity.

FTA: 'Alternatively, if the Ninth Circuit affirms the decision, we’re witnessing an ideological sea change as even those people sympathetic to the Democrat party realize that its principles are threatening to turn America into a broken tin-pot tyranny unless the Democrats themselves put the brakes on.' Which is all I need to read to know why the Ninth Circuit will not affirm. Too much tyranny at stake. I'll be happy to be wrong.

Equal application of the laws? Gee, what an amazing concept. And 99% of the "white supremacists" that the FBI and Dept of Injustice chase after are NOT actually really what the lying FBI claims.

This is the opposite of the "Proudboys" prosecutions...both groups were formed in response to nationalized leftist groups organizing, mobilizing and assaulting lawfully gathered conservative whenever/wherever they announced they would be meeting. This group in the west and proudboys in the east said "Ok fine...we'll show up there too, and IF you attack them, or want to fight US...We Will fight!", when they did, the mask wearing soi-boi antifas and leftists got their butz kicked, in EVERY case after they initiated the violence, and the righty groups responded "In Kind". The govt and media then tried(and mostly have) blamed ALL of the violence of right leaning "self defense" actions and groups, even in those cases where the right leaning groups have had secured demonstration permits and locations...then the lefties show up, with no permits and attack them..Charlottesville was just one such place. Some kid, far from home, alone, not part of any group, was being chased by armed, gunwielding, antifa's, He fled from them, down a street that was blocked by yet another mob, and ended up driving over one in an effort to get away...ALL right leaning people were labeled as violent murderers, out to KILL "peaceful protestors", and RACIST! as well...even though nearly the the lefty people eventually hurt ALL "happened to be" white, and had initiated the confrontations.
Truth be told...Kyle Rittenhouse single-handedly ENDED the nationwide practice by those left wing groups. Be it correlation or causation..they all stopped after he fought back one night, and was subsequently acquitted for doing so..

Ok, so the prosecutions may happen. Then what? Will there be any convictions? Will the sentences be similar?
Tyrants always find a way around rules they dont like. Laws dont apply to democrats.

This ruling will apply to PDT in soooooo many ways!
Every ex-potus who did not store confidential documents securely. Also, other people who were not entitled to have confidential documents after leaving office.
Every person who has had a business loan is subject to fraudulent documentation. Also, the lenders and their appraisers are equally guilty.
Every woman can make up a store about being attacked and she must be believed (Anita Hill mantra) (Christine Blasey Ford)
