DHS, Pence reject claim of Portland withdrawal, ‘will not back down’

WaExaminer: The Trump administration is pushing on a claim by Oregon’s governor that federal officers are withdrawing from Portland’s riot zone starting tomorrow and instead said that forces “will not back down” until the state police get control of the nightly firebombing of the federal courthouse they are protecting.

Acting Homeland Secretary Chad Wolf said that he and Gov. Kate Brown have agreed to a deal that will put state police and local police both outside and inside the federal zone. If those police can end the nightly violence, then federal agents will begin to withdraw.

“The department will continue to maintain our current, augmented federal law enforcement personnel in Portland until we are assured that the Hatfield Federal Courthouse and other federal properties will no longer be attacked and that the seat of justice in Portland will remain secure,” Wolf said in a statement. more

  1. My buddy a colonial was in situation command of Army Corps of Engineers Mississippi Valley Division during the hurricane/flooding when Clinton was Governor of Arkansas. They met in a mobile command center to discuss the situation and had come to agreement on what was going to be done. Clinton came out of the meeting and had news cameras ready to go, stepped to the microphone and dry shaved the colonel big time. Flat out fabricated everything and what they had agreed on in the meeting bore no semblance whatsoever to what the bastard told the public.

  2. It’s Kate Brown. She’s not that bright, so either she totally misunderstands the arrangement, or — just as likely — she lied her ass off about it to make herself look like a winner (hoping that no one would bother to look deeper into it).
