ICYMI—My updates this week on January 6 detainees. 2 men accused of “attacking” Brian Sicknick remain behind bars denied bail. But in a hearing this week, feds admit neither used bear spray against the deceased officer; another Capitol attack myth exposed: amgreatness.com/2021/04/26/the…
DOJ seeking protective orders to keep video evidence under seal even from defense lawyers and media. After FOIA demand, DOJ released clearly cherry picked clips trying to show Sicknick “attack.” buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Richard Barnett, the man I wrote about here, finally was released from DC jail after almost 4 months behind bars. Judge cited Munchel ruling as reason but not before repeating lie that 5 people were killed and some Q bs
I'll cover 2:30 detention hearing for Richard Barnett, the man photographed in Pelosi's office. I explain his case here--he turned himself in January 8 and has been in jail ever since. Barnett is in solitary in DC jail and reportedly was attacked by guards amgreatness.com/2021/04/12/ind…
About to get started. Judge Cooper is an Obama appointee and he’s married to a former top aide to Eric Holder.
Judge asks for update on discovery. DOJ says should have to defense next week. Barnett was arrested a few days after protest and has been in jail ever since so obviously so rush to put the case together.
Government now showing video evidence. Many defense lawyers complaining that feds are cherry-picking video. Just now, government “skips” over part of full video. Khater lawyer raises objection amgreatness.com/2021/04/26/the…
DOJ argument is that after Khater allegedly sprayed the pepper spray or whatever it was, it disabled 3 cops and therefore they aided the raid on the Capitol. But video also shows a massive cloud of chemical spray beforehand. Winds were 20 mph that day per a separate filing.
Tanios lawyer also now objecting to DOJ cherry-picking of video evidence. Claims feds are omitting exculpatory comments.
I honestly cannot believe our government is wasting time on this.
It wasn't just leftist corporate media who lied about January 6 fatalities. Let's look at NRO:
"Authorities have arrested more than 300 people in connection with the Capitol riot, which left five people dead, including a U.S. Capitol Police officer."
"The House voted to impeach Trump after he incited a mob of his supporters to amass at the Capitol, after which the mob breached the building and forced lawmakers to evacuate. One Capitol police officer died after being injured by rioters." nationalreview.com/news/trump-aim…
"He watched idly as the rioters sacked the people’s House, defaced the legislative branch with urine and feces, interrupted the operation of government, and caused death and destruction." nationalreview.com/corner/try-him…
On the 100 day *anniversary* of the Unarmed Interruption, I’d like to repost some of my columns.
This from January 11: “The incendiary rhetoric about January 6 combined with widespread deplatforming is reason to bolster those fears” over invalid election. amgreatness.com/2021/01/11/cap…
My first report on the abusive DOJ investigation posted February 4:
Hawley voted against 19, Cruz, R. Scott against 18.
They don't even know how to use the little leverage they have. GOP owns this wreck of an administration, too.
But hey some good news! They did torpedo Neera Tanden because she tweeted mean things about them. At least Senate GOP makes they priorities obvious for all to see.
Listening to FDA/CDC call. This clot has been found in women ages 18-49. One patient died, one in critical condition. FDA will revise fact sheet to include adverse reaction info. Says events are extremely rare.
Doctors are advised that people who present low platelet count should inquire whether the patient has been vaccinated with JJ shot.
Meeting tomorrow to review data. Keep in mind this vaccine has only been widely available for less than 2 months.
Admits “many people” experience fever, headaches, pain, etc after all vaccines.
Advises anyone who has severe symptoms to JJ go to doctor.
