'This is an act of tyranny': Seattle mayor slams Bill Barr for considering sedition charges against her for allowing protesters to create CHOP - the 'police-free zone' in her city

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan condemned reports that Barr considered charges

She accused Trump of 'abuse of power' by turning DOJ into 'political weapon'

Durkan said Trump and Barr are 'willing to subvert the law for political purposes'

A US attorney from Washington State denied that Barr was considering charges

Brian T. Moran said that he would be aware of such an investigation if it existed

DOJ also considered criminal charges against officials in Portland, Oregon

Barr told federal district attorneys in a call last week that a law against plotting to overthrow the government was among charges they could use on protesters

#4 I hope she is nailed to the cross. What she did and more importantly did not do is absolutely sedition and fairly close to treason.
