This per The Daily Wire.

The Department of Justice is looking into whether federal charges can be brought against Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan over her failure to crack down on a so-called “autonomous zone” controlled for weeks by rioters.

Attorney General William Barr has tasked the DOJ’s civil rights division with investigating whether charges can be brought against Durkan, The New York Times reported on Wednesday evening citing two people familiar with the discussions. Barr has also asked federal prosecutors to consider charging rioters with sedition and insurrection against the United States government, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Bill Barr strikes again. He’s apparently not content to let any of this go, and his department has been working behind the scenes non-stop since all this began. We’ve already seen some charges brought against demonstrators who strayed well past peaceful protest. Aiming a little higher at the same time is a good strategy going forward..........To Read More......

My Take -  The article is a clear representation of how despicable she is.  She allowed them to run roughshod over Seattle, until they came to her house.  The article also makes clear there will certainly be civil suits, whether she goes to jail or not.  I'm inclined to think this will also happen to Lightfoot in Chicago and Wheeler in Portland, and hopefully, every city and state where this has been allowed to happen by politicians who refused to fulfill their oath of office.  And I include the governors.   There are laws that protect officials from lawsuits for performing their duties.   I would have to believe refusing to fulfill their duties would obviate those laws.
