“They’re panicking because this may possibly mean that somebody has infiltrated high... and there’s a lot at risk, because this is a criminal cartel,” Ngo said Saturday on NTD’s “The Nation Speaks.”
“And if there’s somebody in there and they don’t know who it is who’s informing on them, it could bring down the entire cell,” Ngo added.
“I’m hopeful that that will happen, although I’m not sure if there’s the political will for the investigators to actually go through and fully investigate all the links and ties that this individual suspect has. But this is at least a little bit of good news in regards to months and months of really terrible things happening in Portland with no changes happening.”
THE BLAME GAME: BIDEN HAS HIS WORK CUT OUT FOR HIM WITH BLACK VOTERS...
Portland has seen renewed rioting since the spring of 2020. At least some of the violence has been associated with members of Antifa, a far-left, anarcho-communist network that has sparked violent acts in cities across the country.
Last week, prosecutors stated they were accusing Alma Raven-Guido, a 19-year-old who has attended multiple riots, of arson, criminal mischief, and rioting—all felonies.

Raven-Guido is charged with pouring flammable liquid onto a fire that had been sparked at the building housing the Portland Police Association, a police union, during a riot on April 13. That liquid “resulted in the fire growing,” Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt said.

An eyewitness saw one of the bottles Raven-Guido use catch fire and start melting and also told police that they saw her place the three bottles into a backpack. In a court report, a police officer described the witness as “the informant.”

Portland police officers found an accelerant and lighters when they detained Raven-Guido soon after the fire was set. They also found her to have a crowbar, spray paint, and heavy marker.

The fire caused roughly $25,000-plus damage to the police union establishment. Daryl Turner, executive director of the union, said in a statement that no one was inside the building when it was set on fire and that neighboring homes were not damaged.

The arsonists were “a splinter group of rioters” who separated from a peaceful march, Turner said.
