A day after Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said that state police would replace federal police to protect the federal courthouse in Portland, protesters outside the building set ablaze a severed pig’s head, donned with a cop hat, sitting on an American flag.
“Antifa protesters dumped a bloody severed pig’s head on an American flag outside the Justice Center in downtown Portland,” journalist Andy Ngo reported on Twitter. “They put a cop’s hat on it and set all of it on fire.”
The FBI, under James Comey, handpicked a senior member of the team investigating alleged collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign and prepared him with “mock briefings” prior to conducting an official FBI security briefing for Trump’s presidential campaign — all in order to spy on and collect information from then-candidate Donald Trump and his national security adviser at the time, Michael Flynn.
Unbeknownst to both Trump and Flynn, the FBI investigator memorialized the briefing — which included exchanges with Flynn and Trump — in an official document that was added to the Crossfire Hurricane case file probing the Trump campaign over unsubstantiated and, ultimately, discredited charges of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives.
Portland experienced another night of violence, looting, and widespread arson as demonstrators took to the streets, attempting to break into the federal courthouse and lighting several fires throughout the city, prompting a response from federal law enforcement.
Protesters gathered downtown late Monday night and targeted the Federal Courthouse and Justice Center, vandalizing the buildings and attempting to break into them. According to a statement from the Portland Police Bureau ( PPB ), demonstrators “tampered with and climbed on the gate leading under the Justice Center and pounded on plywood on the exterior of the building” and “behaved similarly at the Federal Courthouse.”
