In its affidavit supporting criminal charges, the Justice Department showed Air Force lieutenant colonel Larry Rendall Brock on the Senate floor on January 6, 2021 in a helmet and combat gear. That outfit only magnified the anger of many of us over the riot and the interruption of our constitutional process of certification. However, while there was little question of the validity of the charges against him, U.S. District Judge John Bates in March 2023 imposed a two year sentence based on a common enhancing factor cited by the government in many of these cases for the “substantial interference with the administration of justice.” A panel on the D.C. Circuit has now ruled against the use of that enhancer in a decision that could compel the resentencing of dozens of defendants from the January 6th riot.
The Justice Department has long been accused of excessive charging and abusive detention conditions for January 6th defendants. The heavy-handed treatment was apparently by design. In a controversial television interview, Justice official Michael Sherwin proudly declared that “our office wanted to ensure that there was shock and awe … it worked because we saw through media posts that people were afraid to come back to D.C. because they’re, like, ‘If we go there, we’re gonna get charged.’ … We wanted to take out those individuals that essentially were thumbing their noses at the public for what they did.”
District court judges just went along with the use of the enhancement, even though it was based on a highly attenuated claim. As the D.C. Circuit found, “Congress’s certification of electoral college votes does not fit the ‘administration of justice’ mold.” It then noted:
“Considered in context, Congress’s counting and certification of electoral votes is but the last step in a lengthy electoral certification process involving state legislatures and officials as well as Congress. Taken as a whole, the multi-step process of certifying electoral college votes—as important to our democratic system of government as it is—bears little resemblance to the traditional understanding of the administration of justice as the judicial or quasi-judicial investigation or determination of individual rights.”
The argument of the Biden Administration always seemed curious to me given the claims of former President Donald Trump that Vice President Michael Pence had the authority to reject state certifications. I disagreed with that view. However, arguing that this is a type of judicial proceeding would seem to enhance the Trump argument. Yet, that is what the Justice Department did in many of these cases to enhance sentencing.
Ultimately, Judge Bates’ sentencing was not as high as what the Justice Department wanted. Judge Bates detailed the considerable evidence against Brock in his preparation for violence. He wrote before the riot “Do not kill LEO [law enforcement officers] unless necessary… Gas would assist in this if we can get it.” It was also short of the maximum under the guidelines of 30 months. The sentence may have been reduced by as much as nine months without the enhancer.
There could also be substantial reductions for a couple of hundred of other defendants who were sentenced with the enhancer. It is not clear if the government will appeal the ruling.
We are also waiting for the oral argument in Fischer v. United States, which will consider the use of the felony charge of obstructing an official proceeding against defendants tied to the January 6th riot. Trump is also being prosecuted in part for that crime.
Brock is currently serving his two-year prison term at MCFP Springfield in Missouri.
Here is the opinion: United States v. Brock
Awwww Your anger over the interruption of the constitutional process. How about our anger over the interruption of the election. Oh. That’s right. All those judges and juries who heard all the evidence and then adjudicated a fair decision. I keep forgetting about all that.
In order to get to trial, the plaintiffs must show that their is evidence sufficient to make a plausible case. And every time they went to court with no evidence. When asked about it by judges, the admitted their was no evidence. Since it is impossible to have a conspiracy that big and leave no evidence, MAGAs should just admit that their claims of a stolen election are false.
Where does it say you have to have ‘evidence’ to protest? Should the protestors have filed an injunction and expected the government to turn over all its evidence, emails, phone calls, access to the NSA databases, access to all the voter rolls and videos of the mass depositing of harvested ballots, all of it in 8 weeks time?
You can hide your statism behind all the BS you like, but the statists’ time is drawing to a close…the tools it used are being used against it, now, and the public is seeing the anti-citizen/pro-state BS for what it is. If you suckle from the teat of the blob, you should quickly learn to code (something beneficial, if you’re already there)
Evidence BEFORE protest? What a great idea! There would have been no Ferguson riots, no BLM stuff, because the EVIDENCE was that Michael Brown attacked the officer – not that MB was on his knees begging “please don’t shoot!”
“In order to get to trial, the plaintiffs must show that their is evidence sufficient to make a plausible case.”
Correct – but that standard is incredibly low and was easily met – despite off point and irrelvant claims by judges in these cases.
“And every time they went to court with no evidence. ”
False there was plenty of evidence.
You are free to beleive that evidence is not compelling – arguing that it does not exist makes you stupid.
“When asked about it by judges, the admitted their was no evidence.”
False, Did not happen.
“Since it is impossible to have a conspiracy that big and leave no evidence”
Doubly false.
First – there is a “conspiracy that big” in every single election.
Every single person running for office – conspires with myriads of others to win the election.
There is never ever ever any doubt that there is a conspiracy to win the election.
It is a huge conspiracy and it is out in plain sight.
The relevant question is not whether such a conspiracy existed, but whether that conspiracy or SOME participants in it went from acting legally to acting illegally.
In every single election – some people act illegally – that is a given. There has never been an election without fraud.
As to the “scale of the conspiracy” – that is an entirely different issue.
One of the reasons that we have the election laws that the left eviscerated in 2020, is to create the requirements that YOU claim were not met in court. Mailin voting, and unattended ballot drop boxes, missing chain of custody, lack of transparency all create the opportunity for large scale fraud with very small numbers of people.
It is not possible to have elections that do not have any fraud.
it is not possible to prevent fraud – though it can be reduced.
But it is possible to increase the odds of getting caught – and that radically reduces the incentive to commit fraud.
“MAGAs should just admit that their claims of a stolen election are false.”
Not going to happen.
We already have massive and indisputed evidence the election was stolen.
The credible allegations of corruption and bribery of Joe Biden were censured.
You claim no large conspiracy existed – but there is a huge conspiracy here that is proven beyond any doubt.
The MSM, Social Media, the DNC, the Biden Campaign, NGO’s paid by the government, and government agencies themselves all sought to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story and the evidence of Corruption by Joe Biden.
There is absolutely ZERO doubt that occured. There is ZERO doubt that is unethical and immoral, and specifically in the case of NGOs and Government agencies that is unconstitutional and illegal. ergo that is election fraud, that is stealling an election.
Further, THAT is a form of evidence of Further fraud. Those who would immorally and unethically censor to win an election are far more likely to act illegally, to conspire to act illegally. And those who actually acted illegally and unconstitutionally – are presumed to be willing to perform other illegal acts.
Just to be clear – despite ruminations in some of the oppinions – there was not a single 2020 election decision made on the basis of evidence or lack of evidence.
Every single decision rested on legal doctrines constraining access to the courts.
ripeness: challenges to illegal changes in election laws were rejected by the courts as not ripe.
Plantiffs were not permitted to challenge illegal and unconstitutional changes to the operations of elections – because the elections had not occured yet. I would note that courts allowed democratic challenges that resulted in some of these illegal and unconstitutional changes., But disallowed republicans from making the same type of challenges.
Signature verification and voter ID laws were gutted by democratic lawfare – often not even getting to court – with Freindly executives agreeing to impliment the demands of democratic challenges in violation of the existing laws – without a court ever ruling that those changes were lawful. Conversely when Republicans challenges those illegal changes – they were barred by claims of ripeness.
mootness: After the election many challenges were dismissed as moot. The election was over, even if fraud could be proven there was no possible remedy. Secret Ballot constitutional amendments ion 38 states means that once a ballots is shorn from all information identifying the voter, which is a REQUIREMENT of secret ballot amendments, that is it no longer possible to separate those that are legitimate from those that are not. Courts rejected Trump claims on the grounds that even if Trump could prove that a state accepted 200,000 fraudulent ballots, once thay have been shorn of identifying information it is impossible to distingush the fraudulent ballots from the legitimate ones. Every time a judge said they would not disenfranchies a million voters because some ballots may be fraudulent – they were making note of the fact that legitimate and illigetimate ballots can not be separated.
Fraudulent ballots MUST be rejected BEFORE they are accepted. Voters without ID must be sent home. Mailin ballots that can not be verified as having been mailed or deposited by the voter – must be rejected. Afterwords it is too late.
Standing – this was one of the more insidious and the largest single means of dismissal. The courts were litterally playing games such that No one had the right to legally challenge the election.
laches – this was one of the more absurd justifications. Courts ruled that Trump could not raise claims – because it was too late and he had not raised them before. This is despite the fact that in most instances those challenges had been made before and the courts dismissed them using ripeness.
Whether you like it or not people are not stupid. They might not understand the legal issues of laches or ripeness.
But they KNOW that the courts actively blocked inquiry into the 2020 election.
And we have seen the same weaponized politicization fo the courts since in decision after decision.
Rico tried this police state fascist gloat of the day:
Awwww Your anger over the interruption of the constitutional process.
How sweet it is for Soviet Democrats that all their street thugs that earlier stormed in to interrupt the constitutional process of the Senate confirming Justice Kavanaugh to SCOTUS – while Senate was right there just a few feet away. And not a single one got the Soviet Democrat J6 Justice! In for the win!
Ditto the Soviet Democrats’ street thugs in Pantifa and Black Liars & Marxists who stormed the White House just a few months earlier. Secret Service so worried they’d lose the battle that they evacuated the president and his family to a secure nuclear bunker while over 50 Secret Service and Capitol Police suffered wounds from the fighting requiring them to be transported to hospital. All while then VP Harris crowed on public networks “they are not stopping and nor should they”.
And not a single one got the Soviet Democrat J6 Justice. Particularly from then House Speaker, Commissar Pelosi. Who rapidly unleashed her J6 Un-Select Committee within days… unlike her smiling response to hearing the party’s street thugs had succeeded in their day long insurrection forcing the evacuation of the White House.
All those judges and juries who heard all the evidence and then adjudicated a fair decision.
When convictions are being thrown out as wrongfully decided, with every day that more exculpatory evidence surfaces that was suppressed by the FBI and prosecutors prior to trial… you might confine yourself to just police state fascist Democrat Different Justice glee and slow your roll on how it was fair Democrat Equal Justice For All.
Does it ever occur to you how dumb you look with all this ‘Soviet democrat’ stuff when you’re so clearly susceptible to Russian disinformation?
If you do not wish to be labeled as soviets – do not behave like them.
It is Dumb to attack others for criticism that is apt.
What Russian disinformation ?
You mean the claims that Trump colluded with Russia ?
Or that Putin favored Trump and Sanders ?
Or that Putin favored Trump over Biden ?
Or that the Hunter Laptop was a Russian Plant ?
The consequential connections to Russia are with Democrats
Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, Pres. Obama.
These and other Democrats have very real links to Russia and Putin.
John Say posted:
If you do not wish to be labeled as soviets – do not behave like them… What Russian disinformation ?
John, if Soviet Democrats doesn’t fit them after what Americans have watched them do in the 16 years since Obama first stepped in the White House, why ISN’T the word “Soviet” applicable when comparing them to the Russian Soviets?
I’ve been referring to them as the Soviet Democrats starting back when Jack Smith was put out there by Obama/Biden from their DoJ during the their 2012 reelection campaign to to perform as their version of Stalin’s Lavarentiy Beria to shut down threats to their reelection campaign through lawfare. Very similar to Beria promising Stalin “Show you the man and I’ll find you his crimes – or manufacture them”.
Jack Smith advising Louis Lerner of the IRS they could target GOP get-out-the-vote-groups and shut them down for the duration of the campaign with tax investigations. Which they did. Not one single one of all the groups they took out of campaigning was found to be in non-compliance with IRS requirements. Not a single similar Democrat group was investigated.
AFTER the election the IRS and DoJ apologized, said they were wrong to do it. Didn’t change the election results, of course. Obama claimed he was shocked and didn’t notice any of that happening and nobody told him about this massive IRS tax investigation of his opponents during the election. Louis Lerner took the protection of the 5th and ran away to enjoy her pension while taxpayers – not Lerner, Smith, or Obama’s campaign – paid out tens of millions of dollars in punitive damages to those groups.
About the same time Jack Smith proceeded with his now infamous prosecution of the potential GOP candidate they feared the most Governor Bob McDonnell – and his wife who was not in any public office – for public bribery.
McDonnell was convicted by Smith on all counts. When the case got to SCOTUS, they promptly threw out the convictions, didn’t even send it back to the lower court with requirements to make revisions to instructions to the jury, etc. They did so in a unanimous decision; one in which they took the rare step of describing Obama’s prosecutor, Jack Smith, as a threat to the republic. The decision details how Jack Smith reinterpreted the statutes he charged with to be unlike any previous prosecutions, and in complete violation of the standards set out in the prosecutor’s handbook.
But that SCOTUS decision happened AFTER the election, an election Obama won against a much weaker Mitt Romney, and Bob McDonnell was left after the acquittal asking “Where do I go to get my political career and reputation back?”
Jack Smith didn’t lose his political career or reputation after what SCOTUS wrote in their decision about what he did. He wasn’t fired by Obama/Biden – he was promoted. He wasn’t even disbarred after the back to back travesties of what he did with Lerner and then did to destroy Bob McDonnell’s career and personal life.
And now Jack Smith, an evil proven police state fascist who abused his legal authorities to eliminate the threats to Obama and Biden remaining in the White House, has been brought back from public life 12 years later by Biden. This time to target Trump, the greatest threat to him remaining in the White House. Smith as a Special Counsel, supposedly unbiased, objective, with no ties to any political party or the DoJ, and with an unblemished prior record as a federal prosecutor. That’s what Merrick Garland (and Deputy AG Lisa Monaco who worked beside Smith for Obama/Biden during their administration and reelection) tells Americans a qualified Special Counsel looks like.
The Special Counsel Jack Smith with that Lavarentiy Beria tarnished prosecutorial record, congratulated in the media for his “novel” lawyering in pursuit of Trump, and whose wife is one of Michelle Obama’s besties and a heavy hitter for the DNC. The one whose machinations so far and inventive interpretation of statutes concerning Trump is a carbon copy of how he proceeded to prosecute Obama’s most dangerous reelection opponent.
That is what Soviet style police state fascism from the mould of the Soviet Democrats’ Lavarentiy Beria looks like; Jack Black, Special Counsel.
[sidebar: as long as Jonathan Turley has been watching legal affairs around Washington, with all the special counsels before Smith, I’m a bit bemused that he can take issue with smaller points that can be argued regarding free speech – but doesn’t seem to think an article concerning Jack Smith and his legitimacy as a Special Counsel is worthy of mention in the context of the first prosecution and indictment of a former American president and candidate in a presidential election]
The Soviet police state fascism really ramped up under Obama; privacy and civil rights were treated as just advisories for government. There was Obama’s CIA Director John Brennen breaking into the electronic files of American Senators’ computers to spy on them and then lying under oath that he did not. Obama’s NSA Director John Clapper – instituting mass spying on all Americans, and then lying under oath he did not. There’s no way they EVER would have told Obama what they were doing of course. Obama would have been shocked! And after being caught in perjury, both were allowed by the DoJ and FBI – headed then by Mueller – to skate without a single perjury charge. Mueller would have a different approach to lying charges after he was nominated to go hunting Trump with the Russia Dossier he was told before he began was a fraudulent campaign document Clinton, Obama, and the DNC paid for.
In the months up to the 2016 election, there was the ongoing unmasking of NSA data by Susan Rice, Biden, and other senior Obama bureaucrats. Leaking of data they were not on the need to know list for an issue that would justify unmasking. Hundreds of Americans, all of whom whose only apparent crime was being prominent American Republicans or Americans whose support might help Trump. All of that a Soviet Democrat American version of the old Soviet Communist Party of Russia. Classified information straight from Obama administration hands into the hands of the media – not secured in Mar-a-logo by armed Secret Service 24/7.
And then the Soviet Democrats’ “Russia Dossier” as campaign material intended to portray Trump as a traitor working with Putin – conceptualized by Hillary Clinton and Jake Sullivan, now Obama’s National Security Advisor.
Illegally hiring foreign nationals to write it – one being a Russian under investigation by the FBI for espionage on behalf of Putin. And after the FBI checked out the ‘dossier’ the Soviet Democrats got for the $10+ million they paid the foreign nationals they illegally hired to write it, they found out there was NOTHING verified in it. It could NOT pass the mandatory Woods Procedures for verification prior to being used to get counterespionage warrants. Brennan first warned Obama about it, and then Comey after that told Obama and Biden that all they and the DNC got for all the money they illegally paid those foreign agents to produce was just salacious gossip from a boozy night their Russian operative spent at the bar. The Russian they’d hired told them that’s where it came from. In normal America, it would have ended there.
After learning that, Obama and Biden told Comey to pretend it was verified; for Comey, Strzok, et al to go before FISA judges, perjure themselves that the “Russia Dossier” was all verified as per the Woods Procedures. That there was no contrary evidence to be found to bring any of it into question. And they uttered that false document to the court – repeatedly – to get those warrants. As did Obama’s last two AG’s, and of course Mueller and some of his FBI did as well.
They never find anything illegal to go after Trump with, but they charged anyone they thought they could nail with lying to the FBI charges – the same FBI that perjured themselves and uttered false documents to those FISA courts. Those associated with Trump were tried and convicted of lying on some pretty feeble circumstances in many of those prosecutions. But none of Obama’s Stasi in the FBI, his DoJ, his attorney generals, Mueller and those of his team that committed the same perjury… the people that indicted and convicted Trump minnows for lying repeatedly perjured themselves to FISA courts and not one of them was ever indicted despite their perjury right there in the face of all Americans. And later on, not a single one of them who lied to the Inspector General’s investigators about what they did in “Crossfire Hurricane” was ever indicted.
Comey, McCabe, Strzok, etc… all recommended by the IG for prosecution: and they were never charged. Soviets don’t jail their Stasi.
Nancy Pelosi did her part beside Obama to nail down deserving the Soviet Democrat label after Trump’s election. It was Pelosi that set up the initial impeachment of Trump like a Soviet Commissar setting up a Soviet show trial, except in the American House, not the Kremlin in Moscow.
In secret, behind closed doors. Only Soviet Democrats of Pelosi’s choosing allowed to subpoena and question witnesses – not the Trump defense. All questions of the Soviet Democrats’ witnesses had to first be approved by Adam Schiff. The Adam Schiff that first coordinated with the “whistleblower” before a puppet for that person actually on that call came forward to pose as the whistleblower. No impeachment in American history ever looked anything like Trumps – it resembled a Soviet show trial like we used to sometimes see on our black and white TVs in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. The Soviet Democrats were excited – they celebrated that it was done that way. The media also loved it.
And here we are today. You can get elected in Soviet Democrat Amerika by making one single promise: you promise you will find a way to indict one man, former president Donald Trump. What would the chances of election be for somebody promising they would find a way to indict Obama?
And it’s gone beyond Trump and the FBI’s the raid on Mar-a-lago; a raid where the FBI showed up in full battle rattle with the media with them – as though they expected a pitched gun battle with the Secret Service securing Trump’s home to get access.
Right to life protesters get arrested in similar raids. A Hunter Biden can show up for an arranged arraignment like it’s a dental appointment – a pro-life protester who did nothing violent gets taken down in his home,in front of his children, by a dozen FBI dressed in full battle rattle. Teachers going to school board meetings because trannies in their daughters’ high schools raped their daughters are arrested and prosecuted. Biden’s FBI puts those protesting parents under surveillance as potential domestic terrorists.
January 6th is treated completely different than the mob that occupied the Senate while the Senate was in session attempting to have a confirmation vote for Kavanaugh. The January 6th defendants are treated completely the opposite of the overwhelmingly violent mob that attempted to assault the White House to get at and murder Trump and his family just a few months earlier.
Outside of the old Soviet Russia, the only similarity to all of this there has ever been in America in modern times is how justice was handed out to black Americans versus white Americans in the racist Democrat southern states in the first half of the 20th century.
The Soviet Democrats as police state fascists are permanent. They and their police state fascists have already gone well past Trump and they’ll continue what they’re doing well after Trump is gone.
They are Soviet Democrats; they do not resemble the Democratic Party that we remember of Scoop Jackson, JFK, or even Bill Clinton.
And they have shown a willingness and eagerness to use police state fascism with the power they have within the DoJ and FBI to criminalize and destroy anyone they feel a threat to their political power and/or political agendas.
Paul Cunningham tried this Soviet Democrat bit of comedy:
Does it ever occur to you how dumb you look with all this ‘Soviet democrat’ stuff when you’re so clearly susceptible to Russian disinformation?
Looks like Paul’s been studying Clinton and Obama’s favorite communist, Saul Alinsky, and his book ‘Rules For Radicals’: “Accuse those who oppose you of doing exactly what you yourself are doing”. Yep, never seen that here before. But let’s talk who the dummies are who are played because they’re susceptible to “Russian disinformation”.
The Russian disinformation lie pushed in 2020 by now Biden Secretary of State Anthony Blinken that the laptop belonging to the cashier for Biden White House Crime LLC should be ignored by voters because it didn’t actually belong to The Crackhead Kid, it was “just manufactured Russian election disinformation”? That lie certainly had rewards for Blinken!
The Russian disinformation that is the letter engineered by Obama’s former CIA chief, where 51 former intelligence agency professionals signed a letter just before the final debate, saying that laptop was was “just Russian election disinformation”
The Russian disinformation that is the Soviet Democrats’ “Trump Russia Dossier”. Paid for by Clinton, Obama, and the DNC. Pushed by now Biden National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan back in the 2016 election that was supposedly verified intelligence agency product proving candidate Trump was a Russian stooge, conspiring with Putin to steal the election? Paid off for Jake Sullivan!
Used to only see that in the old Soviet Russia – now you see it in the Soviet Democrats’ Amerika during elections. And the FBI used to weaponize and spread it.
So Paul, is that you displaying why the term “Useful Idiot” from the Soviet Union is still around today, alive and well in America being applied to susceptible Soviet Democrat Useful Idiots? Where gullible fools have been sucking up Soviet Democrat lies they have verified evidence Trump is a Russian stooge for over seven years now?
Paul… susceptible to ‘Russian disinformation’! Let’s see. I’m susceptible to the “Russia Dossier” that your Soviet Democrat police state fascists told you Useful Idiots was verified American intelligence product! The “dossier” that Clinton, Obama, and the DNC illegally hired and paid a Russian operative to write with another illegally hired and paid former MI6 agent. And then the FBI used it! (Their Putin operative, Igor Danchenko, was under investigation by the FBI for espionage while Obama and the FBI were using him for their “dossier” – how cool is that!)
Definition: Russian disinformation – a Soviet Democrat president and presidential candidate illegally hire and pay a Putin operative to write a campaign document claiming Trump was engaged in espionage; conspiring with Russia to steal the election. Russian disinformation… manufactured right here in America by Soviet Democrats and their Russian operatives.
Oh Paul, the Soviet Russia angle gets better! Obama, after the FBI told him all he, Clinton and the DNC got for the millions of dollars they paid that Russian was BullSchiff… Obama went all in Soviet. Obama tells the FBI that despite his “Russia Dossier” being nothing but lies, present it to FISA judges and perjure yourselves to FISA judges that it is factual.
Perjure yourselves to get illegal spy warrants based on the lie the “Russia Dossier” before the FISA courts was verified evidence Trump was working with Putin. And then like Lavarentiy Beria “Show me the man and I’ll find you his crimes.” try to find a Trump crime or dirty up his campaign enough that Clinton could win.
And they did. So did the FBI Directors. So did Obama’s last two Attorney Generals. So did Mueller. All committed perjury to state the Soviet Democrats “Russia Dossier” disinformation stating Trump was Russia’s stooge was factual. A nations leaders and the top of the state police lying to judges to get convictions – now there’s a whiff of the ol’ Russian Soviets for you!
[sidebar: we used to call the Soviet Democrats’ disinformation Trump was a Russian stooge ‘lies’. I prefer the word lie when it’s deliberate and calculated as all this BullSchiff was and is]
The Soviet Democrats knew their Useful Idiots would suck those lies about Trump and Russia up. They knew they were susceptible to lies about Trump – and lies that Clinton and Biden never did anything wrong. You weren’t one of the ones clearly susceptible to Soviet Democrat lies about Russia, were you Paul? You were one of the smart ones that quickly realized you were being BullSchiffed by Soviet Democrats?
How many YEARS did Adam Schiff push that Soviet Democrat lie that there was verified evidence Trump was conspiring with Russia to you, Paul? A recent poll found that just over 80% of registered Democrats still believe that Clinton/Obama BullSchiff that they illegally hired a Russian operative to write. It’s been eight years Paul… and 80% of the Soviet Democrats’ retard voters still believe that lie!
And I’m thinking you’re one of the Useful Idiots that believed it was all true from the first day they pushed it out to media to the present day. Probably still do. Tell everybody how dumb you have to be in order to be one of the Soviet Democrat retards still believing and/or pushing those “Russia Dossier” lies today. Some of them still post that here in Turley’s blog regularly. Generally, they prefer the username “Anonymous”… but then there’s Sammy and Gigi: proud of their susceptibility to Soviet Democrat lies i.e. ‘disinformation’.
And Paul… remember before the 2020 election, when the Soviet Democrats’ presidential candidate, Joe Biden, was saying the laptop belonging to The Bagman Formerly Known As The Crackhead Kid was false: just “Russian election disinformation”? You must.
You remember how The Big Guy’s current Secretary of State got 51 former intelligence agency officials to sign a document saying it was “Russian election disinformation”. Which we now know was an old fashioned Soviet lie While the FBI in good ol’ Soviet fashion was ensuring that social media shut down news media attempts to publish the information in that laptop about Biden White House Crime, LLC at least until the election was over.
Another guess: Paul, you sucked down that “it’s only Russian disinformation” lie just as eagerly as you sucked down the “Russia Dossier” lie. I know you did – just like every other Soviet Democrat Useful Idiot susceptible to those Soviet style lies.
But you Soviet Democrats who believed that BullSchiff about Putin conspiring with Trump, Putin rigging a laptop to look like the Crackhead Kid owned it aren’t clearly susceptible to disinformation.
You’re taking the time to post that it’snot you, I’m the one susceptible to lies, for pointing out what the Soviet Democrats did was straight out of how the Soviet government worked.
Paul… genius that you are, tell us for old time sake just one more time, how Biden’s laptop is truly just Russian disinformation. And news media had to be censored from publishing news about it because unlike you, we would have been susceptible to that disinformation.
Or would you prefer to tell us how Commissar Pelosi’s initial impeachment of Trump wasn’t straight out of Soviet Show Trial 101? Held behind closed doors. No news media allowed. Only the Soviets allowed to call witnesses. Only questions approved by Commissar Pelosi allowed to be asked of their witnesses at that SchiffShow.
Tell us that’s exactly how every House impeachment has been handled before Trump Paul. The House proceeded exactly the same way with Clinton and Nixon – and everybody who saw it being more like a Soviet show trial is clearly susceptible to Russian disinformation.
The Soviet Democrats Useful Idiots: sucking down their politicians accusations about Trump and Russia and every excuse that laptop is as Russian as Trump.
And then the gullible Useful Idiots say that others are the ones susceptible to disinformation.
Back on the Bribery Biden short bus for you Paul, Soviet Democrat Useful Idiot.
Rico – Certification was delayed only about 3 hours. Hardly a hanging offense.
Correct. It would’ve been handled by firing squad back in the day.
False, There were multiple actual rebellions after the revoltuionary war.
Some resulted in violence and injury.
They all involved ARMED “insurrectionists” – The Govenrment, including George Washington Personally – the only instance in US history where the Commander in Cheif of the US Military – aka president, actually lead troops in battle.
A few of the leaders were tossed in jail, the “insurrectionists” were told to go home. And the leaders were all pardoned in short order.
No we did NOT use firing squads “back in the day”, not for protestors, not for insurrectionists.
The left is oblivious to the FACT that this nation was born in an insurrection.
Our founders were never going to say anything so stupid as that insurrection is always wrong – they were insurrectionists to a man themselves.
The Declaration of independence lays out the requirements for “inssurection”.
Those were not met on J6, 2021 – but the ONLY missing element was that the declaration does not justify insurrection as a last resort to a legitimate greivance – but as a last resort to a long series of legitimate greviances over time.
The declaration of independence requires not merely that govenrment is lawless, and that efforts to return to the rule of law are thwarted – but that lawlessness and the failure of non-violent efforts to restore the rule of law must be long suffering before insurrection is justified.
At the same time as actually evidenced by REAL insurrection early in our history- our founders did not consider “insurrection” serious – not even clearly illegitimate insurrection.
Thy did NOT respond with firing squads.
Our founders were imperfect – but they were far from the looney totalitarians of the left today.
I do not care if it was delayed months.
On Jan 20, 2021 at 12 Trump ceases to be president. If no one is confirmed before that the speaker of the house becomes president until a president is confirmed.
Lets presume the capitol was opened – as it has been for all the rest of US history.
Lets presume the protestors came in took over and staged a sit in – as democrats did in Wisconsin.
SO WHAT ? That is perfectly legal.
It is 10000 times more legal that occupy wall street or occupying a police station or occupying center city seattle.
If they are so including – congress can hold session elsewhere.
Invited, escorted, only to have the rug summarily pulled from underfoot, aborted, assaulted, and civil rights denied over multiple years. A probable Whitmer conspiracy with Pelosi adjuvants.
As long as Merrick Garland is working for Joe Biden, the DOJ will appeal this decision. Thank you, Jonathan, for an excellent article.
Another ignorant communist in training.
How is Skyraider1717 a communist in training?
He is pointing out Putin endorsed Joe Biden will have his comrade, Merrick Garland, appeal the decision.
I have no problem with the people who were in the capitol being charged, convicted and sentenced and I am a conservative republican. BUT, it was no insurrection, no one was killed by the rioters (in contrast to the previous summer) and it may have looked liked shock and awe to the prosecutors but it just enhanced the hate and loathing of the federal government. I would suspect that if the same family of rioters return to the capitol because of a miscreant government or party, the potential rioters will likely all come heavily armed. I don’t think we want to see that.
Also everyone of these cases could have been settled by the end of 2021. They have simply been strung out, not for shock and awe, but for political effect.
And Lt Col Vindman should have been tried as a mutineer and kicked out of the Army. Forced out was not enough.
If President Trump weren’t running, and wasn’t popular, the injustices suffered by J6 political prisoners would be ignored. Mr. Turley, like the rest of the mainstream media, would not be covering this issue. The DOJ/FBI, and the DHS/Secret Service must be reformed, stripping layer after layer of Democrat Party activists from the government bureaucracy.
From Anonymous at 9:25. “I was in my office in Langley handing down directives to my subordinate Caseworker(s) to employ their Assets to protect Judaical arm from adverse threats.” I have long suspected that Anonymous was a member of the CIA. Now she admits it.
@Thinkitthrough
Or she’s paid/crazy. Which Judaical arm was under threat that day?
James, either Anonymous is really sitting in her office at the CIA handing out directives or she just believes she is. Either way crazy is still a proper description. If she is just delusional then we should have little concern. However if she is really siting in an office at the CIA we should be scared to death at the prospect that crazy herself is a person of authority at the CIA. God help us all.
@thinkitthrough
Personally, I think shill or delusional is more likely, I find it hard to believe anyone with that level of authority in a federal agency would troll a blog everyday, all day; at best those ‘Caseworker(s)’ would be doing it, or someone outsourced. I’ve had neighbors that actually were federal officers, and they did not waste their time on such boosheet. But who knows? And agreed – if that is the best they’ve got – heaven help us.
Oh, and PS – I can’t check right now, but I’ll bet backtracking on the blog to that day shows they were right here dropping insult bombs as usual.
That was James, not anon. WordPress glitch. 🤷🏽♂️
Even the D.C. Circuit is now reining in DoJ overreach. The next blow will come in Fischer, when the Supreme Court will decide whether the DoJ misapplied the Enron law relating to obstruction of an official proceeding. A similar holding will invalidate many of the charges.
Leftist dismay and anger brightens my day. Next you’ll be telling us the D.C. Circuit is “right wing”.
“MAGA right-wing.”
FIFY
Anybody that was involved with the events of J6 should have harsh punishments, and mental health care.
No facts, no data, no argument–how economical!
Spoken like a true fascist.
FishWings, I’ve noticed that the language of you and your friends has changed. You used to say that Jan 6 was an insurrection but now you say that it was a riot. It’s obvious that because of the straw polls that show that most Americans think it was a riot you and your leftist friends have changed your tune. Even the leftist Department of Injustice will not charge anyone for the crime of insurrection. In your infinite fairness you should provide a comment comparing the sentencing of those who participated in the BLM riots and the rioters of Jan 6. We await your unbiased comparison of the two occasions and the legal punishment imposed on the perpetrators. Your response will determine the quality of your character.
Tell us how “mental health care” has gotten you to where you are and tell us from where you were. Does it simply make you give up? does subverting yourself like you do bring you food, clothing, and or shelter? Does it bring you societal benefit – are you the king of the losers? Do you get a sexual charge out of being a lame troll? spill the beans. Don’t just be a parasite, help others to gain the benefits you enjoy.
Please tell us about your personal transformation from a sentient being to a shell full of BS.
Biden is a fascist, and you’re supporting his regime. Biden’s fascism, not as efficient as NAZI Germany’s version, but, it’s akin to the fascism of Italy’s Mussolini. Hopefully, Biden will share the same fate Il Duce experienced when his people were finally given the chance to remove his wicked regime from power.
SamD, the problem intelligent people face when dealing with Sammy is that they do not realize Sammy doesn’t know what Fascism is. He barely knows what a Constitutional Republic is. He knows we have a Constitution, but never has he demonstrated any facility in discussing constitutional issues. Sammy’s a flop.
Actually it’s the likes of you that needs either and education or mental health care.
Esp. Nancy Pelosi.
This comment was directed at FishWings @ 9:09 am.
FishWings presented one of the two standards of Soviet Democrat Different Justice:
Anybody that was involved with the events of J6 should have harsh punishments, and mental health care.
I don’t know about the mental health care aspect, but let’s see if we might have one standard of justice for all we can both agree on.
How about the all the criminals that were involved a few months earlier in the day long riot as Pantifa and Black Liars & Marxist rioters attempted to storm the White House, attempted to torch the nearby presidential church, and wounded over 50 Secret Service and Capital Police to the point they had to be hospitalized. FishWings, can you confirm they should be getting the exact same harsh punishments and mental health care you’re demanding for the J6 defendants?
And then there’s the rioters who also prior to J6 stormed in to stop the vote to confirm Justice Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. The senators were present, just a few feet away from the rioters/intruders as they stopped that constitutional process. Fishwings, will you confirm the FBI should be hunting down every single one of those criminals as well – same jails the J6 defendants are in, in front of the same judges, the same harsh punishments handed out?
You could be the first Soviet Democrat to be willing to go on record that you want all the previous rioters who interrupted a Senate confirmation vote and those who assaulted the White House with the president inside to get the exact same treatment as the J6 defendants.
I’m guessing that in fact you think they should NOT be hunted down and prosecuted as the J6 defendants. Because they’re Democrat Different.
“That outfit only magnified the anger of many of us over the riot and the interruption of our constitutional process of certification.”
Do NOT count me as one of the “us.” I think that the election was stolen, and I think more so with every day that passes as I see the lengths that the Democrat/Deep State goes to retain power. What is stealing some votes when compared to that? Don’t think it happens? Here, pick a state! Try Pennsylvania!

The New York County Supreme Court where Justice Arthur Engoron sits is one of many that have become a target for a campaign of threats and intimidation waged by loyalists of former president Donald Trump.
Judges and prosecutors are facing repeated threats of violence as they handle cases related to Trump, interviews and documents reveal. The wave of intimidation follows the ex-president’s attacks on judges as corrupt and biased – and some worry it threatens America’s long tradition of judicial independence.

Anonymous, where were you when the Supreme Court Justices were threatened. Silence of the lamb.
I was in my office in Langley handing down directives to my subordinate Caseworker(s) to employ their Assets to protect Judaical arm from adverse threats.
So do you do your job or are these judges really at risk?
They are assigned Protection Level 5 and Active monitoring.
Risk are imminent, Assets to protect the Judicial arm from adverse threats.
Judaical? Is that a near-Freudian slip?
Anonymous, if you were in your office at the CIA giving directives to other CIA agents why haven’t you mentioned it until now? I noticed that you conveniently left out that the threats were being made against the conservative members of The Supreme Court. You write ad nauseam about threats made toward the Judge in the Trump trial but you invest not a stroke of your pen on these pages about threats made toward the conservative Justices on The Supreme Court. In the past when I have read your post I had a suspicion that you worked somewhere in the federal government at a low level. Now you have revealed that you are not at a low level but you’re in a position of authority at the CIA. Sooner or later the propagandists will out themselves. I didn’t know for sure that you are a Bagdad Bob but now my suspicions have been confirmed by none other than Anonymous herself. Now we know that your job is to make multiple comments all day long and the American taxpayer is paying for it.
Protection of the Government is essential, at all cost 24/7/365.
Sir may I remind you, I did not invite you, You stepped into this Honey Pot.
It is to late to get out now, you’ve been captured.
It’s been a pleasure to serve – Have a good day.
The people’s house
The people are the government, not a bunch of uncollected asshats like you that think you know what’s best, or worse are mindless drones doing the bidding of the subversives in government pretending to be government. Wake up..
TiT,
Protection of Judicial arm of government on US soil be under the charter of the FBI? Not the CIA?
Unless the threats were coming from overseas. But even then, the FBI would be in charge for operating within the US.
I suspect this anon is full of it.
Upstate, Your probably correct that Anonymous is full of it. However, the CIA is located in Langley. We do know that the CIA is not supposed to be involved with domestic law enforcement but here is Anonymous telling us that she was issuing directives in here office at Langley where the CIA is located. Of course we know that the CIA never gets involved with domestic affairs. Right?
Don’t get so upset, We have collected Files and have installed Rootkits to monitor all of you. You have nothing to worry about, We set the algorithms to search out radicalized members within the online sphere. Since We can not operate legally on U.S. Soil in some cases, Our allied members cover these areas of the sphere. Global Security is paramount to thwart on coming threats, hence the Agency’s involvement arching Cyber Security and Joint Task. Regarding the FBI, the Bureau’s Internal Affairs have counter measures to detect compromised operations and security breaches, wherein here again is redundant by CIA oversight.
You Can Sleep Well Tonight.
Your office is a Starbucks using their free WiFi.
Your delusions of grandeur are getting the better of you.
Seems to be more often when you get more and more ‘timeouts’ on other social media sites and less people to pay attention to you and your pathetic existence.
“I have read your post I had a suspicion that you worked somewhere in the federal government at a low level.”
Tit, the words “I was in my office in Langley handing down directives to my subordinate Caseworker(s)” sound more like the Bug tying one on, but instead of being at Langley with subordinates, he is likely alone with a bunch of worn out basketballs waiting to be trashed.
If these comments are deleted, that will be proof that I am likely correct.
S. Meyer,
Her, “. . . my office in Langley handing down directives to my subordinate Caseworker(s)” is more likely a Starbucks where she has to use their free WiFi to post comments.
Can you imagine how pathetic one’s life has to be where they get up first thing in the morning, rush down to a Starbucks to post stupid comments on the good professor’s blog?
What a sad life.
But they are corrupt and biased.
Another cowardly Anonymous Soviet Democrat tried this deflection:

You suddenly noticed that judges are being threatened? I’d be happy to see those uttering threats charged – but let’s bring you up to date.
Tell us, cowardly Anonymous Soviet Democrat, any of those threats escalate to the level of one of your fellow Soviet Democrats arrested while he was armed with a knife outside Kavanaugh’s home with plans to murder him and other justices? Justice Engoron get anything remotely similar to that regarding threats?
https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/09/politics/nicholas-john-roske-911-call-audio-brett-kavanaugh/index.html
How about mobs of felons rioting outside Judge Engoron’s home, just as they did outside Supreme Court judges homes? While the Attorney General refused to have those criminals arrested and charged for that crime? Has anything like that happened to Engoron or others? Those threatening Engoron and others – are they going to get the same get out of jail free pass from Merrick Garland’s DoJ?
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/us-marshals-told-not-to-arrest-protesters-at-scotus-justices-homes/ar-AA19eGw8
Those threats against Engoron and others; they look anything like the threats Soviet Democrat Senator Schumer screamed at Supreme Court judges in public, outside the Senate?
nypost.com/2020/03/05/chuck-schumers-threat-to-justices-just-new-low-in-democrats-scotus-bullying/
Here’s your chance to extend your outrage regarding threats towards judges to all these other lowlifes, including Senator Schumer.
Larry Rendall Brock is lucky to be alive. He along with every single other person that entered the Capitol building on Jan 6 were part of a treasonous coup to keep the person that lost the election in power. That is treason and in virtually every other country, failed coups lead to the death of those perpetrating the coup.
Stop dancing around he said “peacefully”. Just stop the BS. The Jan 6 riots were all about keeping DJT as president when he had lost the election. Any other interpretation of the Jan 6 events is just plain BS.
And I don’t care if it was 5 people leading the coup or 50,000. the definition of treason does not include a clause that it must have a minimum number of people involved.
Does the definition of a coup include subverting the will of the people for personal gain?
How about if there were 330,000,000 people rising up and only you, obamma, john bolton, and 10,000 other blobsters were not part of it – would that still be a coup?
A coup d’etat! Don’t be ridiculous.
There was no attempted coup.
It is a leftist delusion they have to keep repeating else their narrative fails, like all their other ones have or are failing.
Yes, of course. However for the MAGAs to admit that J6 was an attempted coup, they would also have to admit that their claims to support the constitution and the rule of law are also BS, and they are not quite ready to do that. Yet.
Does Sammy know what an attempted coup is? Which part does he think was the coup, the legal or the disparate riotous behavior by different groups, including leftists? Why wasn’t the attack on the Supreme Court considered an attempted coup? Why wasn’t Antifa’s attack on a federal building with an attempt to burn it down with people inside an attempted coup? Why wasn’t taking over a part of a city an attempted coup?
Will Sammy define what he is talking about? Probably not, because he speaks without knowing what the words mean.
S. Meyer,
He merely repeats what his MSM betters tell him to repeat.
He does not use critical thinking, logic, common sense. Just whatever the pundits say as fact.
An illegal attempt to overthrow and election and install an unelected president is an attempted coup.
Sammy, since you responded with reason, I’ll play nice. Your definition is a bit lacking, so I decided to provide one from a left-wing site, the NY Times, where those involved in this particular issue do not like Trump or support his actions.
I am not presently searching for an exact definition but rather to put light on what happened so that one can reasonably discuss the event. I don’t want to deal with the Gigi type of insanity.
Below is one definition that covers a lot of the elements involved, which causes the Professor below not to believe this was a coup. When you are finished reading, you may want to comment and create a new response that you feel is more precise. Our ideas may draw together.
“A coup is an illegal attempt to take power through force or the threat of force, usually involving at least a faction of the military or formal security forces, though sometimes they are backed by paramilitaries or other armed groups.”
“That’s not what happened in Washington yesterday.
Although some of the people that stormed the Capitol were armed, they do not appear to be part of any organized military or rebel organization. And while Mr. Trump encouraged his loyalists in his capacity as a leader of their movement, he did not try to call the military to their aid, or otherwise use the formal powers of the presidency to help them, said Naunihal Singh, a professor at the Naval War College whose research focuses on coups.”
You can repeat the lie over and over again. To admit that it was not an attempted coup, you would have to use a degree of critical thinking skills, common sense and logic.
“The Regime is parasitic, not symbiotic, on its host society. It is purely extractive, providing nothing of value, existing solely for itself. It is composed of people who are not brave, or honourable, or intelligent, or competent, or benevolent, or possessed of any of the virtues with which a ruling class is expected to be blessed. As such it is a curse upon humanity, and deep down it knows this. It understands perfectly well that everyone would be much better off if it simply shuffled away into the unlamented oblivion of history. It doesn’t care, mind you, because it sees people as livestock of no moral importance. But it’s self-aware about this disconnect between its interests, and those of the human species at large.
Which is why it must lie, about everything. It must make the society it dominates into a garden of lies: lies about race, about sex, about ‘gender’, about nutrition, about medicine, about history, about elections, about the causes and outcomes of wars, about the climate, about the very nature of existence.” https://barsoom.substack.com/p/political-conflict-in-the-age-of
The Michael Sherwins of the world need to be put out to pasture and the vultures they serve ______________ (insert approved verb).
Hopefully, Donald Trump’s AG will appoint a Special Counsel to investigate all the actions taken by the DOJ against the J6 protestors. Those responsible for exorbitant sentences should then be discharged, at the very least.
Edwardmahl,
And that is why they are conducting election interference.
This is the Dangerous part: The Government believes “It’s the ‘Thought’ that counts”.
From the Governments perspective, If They ‘think’ you “Thought” that, then you can be held culpable and accountable.
Wow – This isn’t governmental Paranoia, This is governmental Intervention of Your Mind. -Crazy-
“[O]ur office wanted to ensure that there was shock and awe . . . [. . .] We wanted to take out those individuals that essentially were thumbing their noses at the public for what they did.”
Imagine how much safer DC, SF, Chicago, et al. would be for the innocent, if only they had prosecutors like that.
The colonial’s military clothing was the basis for one of elements reached to convict on underlying charge.
For you lawyers… Did this court open up additional appeals for those who did not come dressed for violence?
anyone go to jail for the Russian Hoax Conspiracy against Trump and his people?
BLM matter rioters destroyed and MURDERED people….few went to jail and most were released no matter how grevious their crime is?
Did Sen Menendez wife go to jail for murdering a person with her car when drunk and returning from a party(no DUI test)?
The Fascist Democrats have created a two tier system. Democrats RIOT…nothing. Republicans protest solitary confinement and held without bail and LONG jail sentence.
So you believe “trespassing” on government property should be 2+ YEARS? Let me know a SINGLE democrat in recorded history this happened to?
People did go to jail for “the Russian Hoax Conspiracy.” Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos was convicted of lying to the FBI about his Russian contacts. Trump campaign deputy chairman Rick Gates pleaded guilty to conspiracy & lying to the FBI. Roger Stone was convicted of obstruction of justice, witness tampering & lying to Congress in their investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Two tiered justice system? Those Trump campaign advisors were convicted & sentenced during the Trump administration.
There you go telling facts, on a site with people that could care less about the facts.
Those are all process claims
They were charged for actions taken during the investigation. The only evidence against them was FBI testimony. The FBI has been proven to be corrupt.
Those contacts with Russians? We now know US ally spy agencies had been asked to “keep an eye on” Trump campaign advisors. 36 Trump campaign advisors. That included “bumping” them. Have their spies engage the Trump people. Or to use the spies Confidential Human Sources. to engage them. In short have their Russian paid moles to engage the Trump campaign.
In short the DoJ sent Russians after the Trump people, then charged them with lying if they got any portion of the assigned contact wrong.
It’s a process claim when Roger Stone was convicted of five counts of making false statements to Congress, obstructing a congressional investigation and witness intimidation? What legal reference book led you to that conclusion, iowan2?
You HOA needs you. You are the worst of humanity, largely because you think you aren’t.
– – as part of the conspiracy inside the government to subvert Donald Trump.
Another cowardly Anonymous Soviet Democrat double standards police state fascist tried this ‘Don’t Believe Your Lying Eyes’ scam:
People did go to jail for “the Russian Hoax Conspiracy.” Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos was convicted of lying to the FBI about his Russian contacts. Two tiered justice system?
Exactly that. You’re happy that the RIGHT people went to jail – not the Wrong people. Here’s the big players in the “Russia Dossier” that Obama and the FBI used to create the Russia Collusion campaign hoax that DIDN’T go to jail.
The FBI who charged Papadopoulos lied to them at about the same time those agents committed perjury to FISA courts claiming they had verified the Clinton/Obama “Russia Dossier” campaign deception to get fraudulent warrants. They have not been charged, never mind now in jail.
Obama’s FBI Director James Comey perjured himself to FISA courts multiple times about the “Russia Dossier”. Along with leaking classified documents. Referred for prosecution by the Inspector General investigating the exoneration of Clinton and the FBI “Russia Dossier” investigation. Never charged. James Comey has never seen a day in jail. Re Never will.
Obama’s last two Attorney Generals perjured themselves to FISA multiple times regarding the Clinton/Obama “Russia Dossier” that Obama and the FBI built their Russia hoax threat to democracy on. One referred for prosecution. They aren’t in jail.
Strzok and the Deputy FBI Director in the investigation of the “Russia Dossier” who charged Papadopoulos both committed perjury to both those FISA courts AND lied to the Inspector General’s FBI investigators. Neither Strzok or McCabe are in jail.
None of the FBI agents in the “Russia Dossier” investigation who lied to the FBI conducting the Inspector General’s three investigations into that fraud investigation are in jail. The Inspector General made over 20 referrals of those in the FBI for criminal prosecution. Including referring Hillary Clinton for prosecution as well. Not one of those prosecutions was followed through on.
Mueller’s FBI minion who altered evidence exonerating Carter Page as a patriot risking his life to collect intel for the CIA so that it said he was a traitor instead is not in jail. In fact, he wasn’t even disbarred. Some community service… back to practicing law.
Soviet Democrats… I don’t think they understand what ‘two tiered justice system” means.
Equally sure that they don’t know who Lavarentiy Beria was, or how the work of the FBI and then Mueller looks remarkably like how Lavarentiy Beria operated.
The treatment and sentencing of the J6 folks is especially audicious compared to the light treatment of teh participants in the Summer of Love, who basically have almost all have been let go. The federal prosecutors and judges should be ashamed of themselves. Their job is to remain calm in the sea of outrage and emotion. It shows how afraid the DC crowd is of the American people. The extreme punishment of the J6 folks, and the arrest of many others with opposing views by SWAT teams arriving at homes in tactical gear and with weapons drawn is intended to intimidate anyone opposed to the establishment. Glad to hear that some common sense still exists at the circuit court level, albeit 3 years after the event.
This shows the danger of concentration of power. Our founding fathers realized, due to their own experience, the threat of an over zealous and powerfull government and designed a system of government with checks and balances and a small central government. Unfortunately, over 250 years, we can see that every crisis is used to give DC more power. The civil war, World War II, the Great Depression, 9/11 that gave us the Patriot Act, Covid-19… A Conventioon of sttaes may be necessary to break that grip on power and restore the balance sought by our ancestors.
Reading the actual charges themselves and the timeline of his activities, it still doesn’t sound like something worth any jail time. No assault on LEOs, no destruction of property. Slightly delusional about the election but that certainly isn’t a crime. Arrest, misdemeanor rioting or something. Certainly not someone to throw the book at. And I’m a liberal Democrat.
“I’m a liberal Democrat.”
Based on your sane, thoughtful, logical post, you may be a liberal, but you ain’t no democrat.
