Poor Billy,
He wants a leftist terrorist group so badly, he's begun to imagine it.
U.S. Attorney General William Barr has repeatedly blamed anti-fascist activists for the violence that has erupted during demonstrations over George Floyd's death, but federal court records show no sign of so-called antifa links so far in cases brought by the Justice Department.
NPR has reviewed court documents of 51 individuals facing federal charges in connection with the unrest. As of Tuesday morning, none is alleged to have links to the antifa movement.
Of the cases brought so far, 20 involve allegations related to arson; 16 involve the illegal possession of a firearm, more often than not by a felon; another eight people face charges related to inciting a riot or civil disorder.
The single instance in which an extremist group is mentioned in court documents is a case against three Nevada men. Federal prosecutors allege the trio belong to the right-wing Boogaloo movement that wants to bring about a civil war. The men have been charged with plotting violence during Las Vegas protests.
In an interview Monday with Fox News, Barr said the lack of cases against alleged antifa activists so far does not mean they haven't been involved in the violence.

Seems to me you're out of touch TC...
While violent riots and looting have destroyed downtown Seattle and many businesses, including those owned by minorities in the Chinatown/International District, several Seattle City Council members continue encouraging the violence, called to defund the Seattle Police Department (SPD) and have given over one neighbourhood over to armed Antifa militants.

I read the entire article. Was anyone arrested or charged that was part of ATIFA or is your concern that they use twitter to call for the dismantling government? The article wasn't clear that an organization was behind the actual rioting.
What about other cases outside Seattle? Because there have been clear tangible examples of White Supremests being arrested, and I don't find anywhere that Bill Barr has even mentioned those terrorist groups.
