Why did Schiff, Cheney, and Kinzinger feature 4 cops on the first (and only) public hearing of J6 committee?
To canonize them, shield them from any scrutiny about their actions that day. Gonell and Dunn admitted they handled Rosanne Boyland’s body… amgreatness.com/2021/11/22/sel…
after she died. (Or was killed by police.)
Dunn; “In the Crypt, I encountered Sergeant Gonell, who was giving assistance to an unconscious woman who had been in the crowd of rioters. I helped to carry her to the House Majority Leader’s office, where she was administered CPR.”
That was Dunn’s sworn testimony last July. But no one on the committee bothered to ask who she was or what happened to her?
They didn’t ask because they already knew. Cover-up job:
Keep in mind, as the 4-hour disturbance at the Capitol was underway on January 6, Biden gave an 8-minute televised speech to the nation condemning the protest as an “insurrection.”
Late to Ryan Samsel hearing. Defense complaining that client still doesn't have discovery. Judge Kelly questions if that's true. Defense says he doesn't think DOJ would admit full discovery has been met.
"There is going to be significant dispute about full discovery."
DOJ: Majority of evidence re Samsel has been produced but defense wants evidence of other people involved.
DOJ still does not have one of the evidence database up and running. But admits not all evidence in this case is available.
Kelly "status of discovery is what it is."
Another Trump appointee gem. He often talks like he has no clue what he's saying in court.
Kelly wants to exclude time from Speedy Trial act, set pre-trial motion schedule.
Defense will file motion to dismiss 1512(c)(2), the common obstruction felony.
Status hearing for Jeffrey McKellop. He's been incarcerated denied bail since his arrest March and now held in D.C. Gulag.
DOJ added a superseding indictment; McKellop, a decorated veteran with no criminal record, charged with numerous counts of assaulting police on January 6
DOJ: Once again delaying discovery, prosecutor says full discovery won't be ready until December 30.
This is such bullshit.
Plea deal on the table. This DOJ arrested defendants, asked for pre-trial detention, delays for MONTHS discovery, Brady material, then offers pleas.
"Substantially completed" discovery by end of the year. Yet another deadline blown by DOJ. Courts continue to allow it.
McKellop atty says there's a long line of defendants at DC Gulag to view discovery. Asks for trial date.
Hayes insists there’s no domestic war on terror. Proof once again that he, like Goldberg, aren’t paying any attention to J6 prosecution and its consequences. Further, Chris Wray designated January 6 an act of domestic terror.
Can Hayes explain the DC Gulag for even nonviolent J6 offenders? Or prosecutors comparing trespassers to domestic terrorists? Or FBIs use of “counterterrorism” task force to conduct armed, pre-dawn raids? Or use of DOJ NSD in prosecutions? Or use of geofence warrants to…
collect cell data of everyone in DC on January 6? Or DNI Avril Haines March “threat assessment” claiming, without evidence, domestic violent extremists pose a heightened danger to the homeland? Or J6 committee plans for to expand anti-terrorism laws to target the Right?
Sentencing hearing starting now for Jacob Chansley, the "QAnon shaman" who committed no violent crime. He's been in jail since his 1/11/21 arrest. Judge Lamberth, presiding today, denied Chansley's release 3 times including after his September plea.
Contrary to what DOJ claims in court filings, Chansley clearly is seen on video talking to Capitol police, who do not arrest him and advise him "no attacking, no assault, remain calm."
