So, remember how Tucker Carlson had a Jan. 6 lawyer on his show who declared that a Trump fanatic on the front lines of the battle with police at the U.S. Capitol was “clearly a law enforcement officer” who was only dressed up as a Trump fanatic?
“Let’s put his picture back on the screen,” Tucker Carlson said, airing the conspiracy theory the Trump fan was a fed. “Who is this person? Why hasn’t he been charged? That’s a very simple ask.” huffpost.com/entry/tucker-c…
Well, Rally Runner — the St. Louis Cardinals superfan who runs around Busch stadium during games — is now a bit upset with the false story aired by Tucker Carlson (one of his favorite media figures) and his guest. Here are some videos he sent me:
The videos were originally filmed for @DeionBroxton, whose story is here: kmov.com/news/cardinals…
“If I’m wrong, so be it, bro. I don’t care,” said the Jan. 6 attorney. “I don’t give a shit about being wrong.” huffpost.com/entry/tucker-c…
Here’s footage of Rally Runner with the police shield at the tunnel:
Tucker Carlson fan Rally Runner says that “Fox and Tucker” knowingly reported a “false story.”
Again, this is the guy who Tucker Carlson viewers believe was some sort of superspy undercover law enforcement officer. The guy who posted a video on Jan. 6 describing his actions, and then posted that he was interviewed by the FBI.

This guy.
In contrast to the Tucker Carlson segment, Rally Runner thought our story was “fair.” Looks like his lawyer vetted his responses, but don’t take that claim that the FBI “cleared” him to the bank.
believe there’s a dril tweet for this.
Rally Runner made his pivot nearly a year before Ted Cruz.
“for years I believed Tucker was a responsible reporter focused on stopping ‘Fake News’ just to be hit with this story,” Rally Runner tells me.
Another one of the people who Tucker Carlson’s star guest theorized was an “agent provocateur” was arrested today.

Overall, a pretty rough day for Jan. 6 truthers!

"Donald Trump and his advisers knew that he had in fact lost the election but despite this knowledge they engaged in a massive effort to spread false and fraudulent information to convince huge portions of the U.S. population that fraud had stolen the election from him."

"Trump refused to concede. He showed himself willing to undermine confidence in the democratic process and in time, managed to convince nearly three-quarters of his supporters (to include Mr. Harkrider) that the loser was actually the winner." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

"when a friend who has saved your life makes stupid statements in public, you don’t tell them to shut up. You just put up, and that is what Alex did."

So, yes, today, Ryan Nichols, Ryan Nichols was sentenced to more than five years in federal prison and given a $200K fine.
"I will f---ing die for this," Nichols said on video after the Jan. 6 attack. "But before I do that, I plan on making other people die first, for their country, if it gets down to that."

nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Back in 2021, Ryan Nichols told the FBI that he felt Donald Trump et al. "had led him in the wrong direction."

Now that Trump has a solid shot at winning the election and potentially pardoning Nichols, he and his MAGA lawyer didn't take that path.

DOJ seeking nearly seven years in federal prison for Ryan Nichols, who will be sentenced on Thursday.
Ryan Nichols talked about his desire to drag politicians through the streets before getting to the Capitol, assaulted law enforcement on video, then confessed on video in the third person.

This is what Donald Trump Jr. falsely claimed about his case, before Ryan Nichols pleaded.
Before Donald Trump Jr. took up his cause, Ryan Nichols told the FBI that he “no longer trusted” Donald Trump and his ilk because he “felt they had led him in the wrong direction.”

A lawyer for Jan. 6 defendant Russell Taylor wrote in a sentencing memo today that Ronald Reagan appointed Judge Royce C. Lamberth now has "the equivalent of a PhD in the events of January 6th."

Here's what Judge Lamberth has been saying about the GOP's "preposterous" rhetoric: Image
"The Court is accustomed to defendants who refuse to accept that they did anything wrong. But in my thirty-seven years on the bench, I cannot recall a time when such meritless justifications of criminal activity have gone mainstream." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"While Lamberth did not refer to the politicians by name, he used quotations from Reps. Andrew Clyde... Marjorie Taylor Greene... Elise Stefanik... former President Donald Trump..." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

There really are some strang moments in the Jan. 6 CCTV footage being released by House Republicans. Like here's the elusive #Individual4 revealing his face because he goes to take a swig of stolen Coke, and then here's Kevin McCarthy in the same spot hours later.

Individual4 here:

That might just be the best face shot of #individual4!

Haven't seen any Fox News coverage of John Sullivan's six year prison sentence, even though they covered his case pretty extensively at first!

(Their story from the trial in November 2023 was just taking NBC News' reporting without including a link.)

As @JordanOnRecord noted, Judge Lamberth noted that John Sullivan attempted to adopt the "protective veneer of a journalist" after the riot.

“For Mr. Sullivan, violence was an end in and of itself,” Lamberth said.
