Setting aside the cut and paste nature of this column—it’s clear Soave hasn’t done any original reporting or research—this is an LOL:

“Indeed, the revelations have prompted considerable, welcome scrutiny of the case from the mainstream media.”

A total myth.
Aside from some solid reporting by BuzzFeed, NYT finally published one article on Whitmer caper after I wrote this:

amgreatness.com/2022/01/10/the…
“Many conservatives have become committed to the idea that the January 6 attack…was not the work of Trump supporters, but rather, elements of the so-called Deep State. There's no evidence for that.”

You can also tell someone who’s done zero reporting on January 6.
“The Whitmer kidnapping plot, on the other hand, was extensively directed and encouraged by agents of the government. It's a much, much, much, much more persuasive case of Deep State nefariousness.”

Imagine being that naive and/or uninformed.

Julie Farnam, head of USCP intelligence unit collecting secret dossiers on US citizens without authority, is a former Obama-era DHS official.

She took over USCP intel unit right before the 2020 election.

Farnam presumably worked with Lisa Monaco...

politico.com/news/2022/01/2…
Obama's last Homeland Security Advisor.

Monaco now is deputy attorney general, essentially running DOJ and managing the January 6 probe.

This is how Obama loyalists continue his goal of criminalizing political dissent and targeting Republicans.

Oh ok:
"Her team's 'overall analysis' raised concerns about permits given to groups affiliated with 'Stop the Steal,' known to attract 'white supremacists' and 'militia members … who actively promote violence.'"

Thread on this hearing today.

Judge Mehta, an Obama appointee handling the Oath Keepers case, today announced there is a "public interest" in getting trials underway.

Translation: Democrats need show trials for 2022.
For months, Metha has allowed DOJ to slow-walk discovery obligations, blow past set deadlines. At the same time, Mehta has excluded time from Speedy Trial act as DOJ complained about the massive trove of discovery in the case.

Mehta is keeping in jail 3 Oath Keepers who...
were supposed to go to trial on original charges this month. DOJ kept producing discovery and adding superseding indictments so he pushed back the trial for the detained defendants until April.

None is charged with a violent crime BTW

Today Mehta AGAIN moved that trial to July

Hearing up now in Oath Keepers case. Judge Mehta presiding. This will deal with the newest indictment for "seditious conspiracy," which I wrote about here.

amgreatness.com/2022/01/20/the…
The 3 DC detainees are on phone via gulag. Sounds like Stewart Rhodes also on the conference line.

Jessica Watkins has a new attorney, Jonathan Crisp, who also is representing Tim Hale.

DOJ dismissing previous indictment against 9 OK defendants facing new sedition charges.
This is the new indictment; defendants now being arraigned.

Rhodes pleads not guilty on all charges.

My guess why DOJ threatening to charge one of its top FBI informants in Whitmer case. Not just to prevent defense from calling him as a witness in entrapment case, but to delay March 8 trial.

DOJ does NOT want this trial taking place while J6 trials are underway:
This is DOJ strategy in J6 cases. Add co-defendants to justify asking court to delay trial—defense begrudgingly goes along because new defendant poses challenges to defense arguments.

We’ll see tomorrow if it worked in Oath Keepers case. After more than a year…
DOJ indicted Stewart Rhodes. This throws a monkey wrench into Oath Keepers defense, especially since one defense lawyer wanted to subpoena Rhodes for his central role—Person One—in conspiracy case.

Judge Mehta will decide tomorrow if 1st OK trial will still proceed in April.

Sentencing hearing up now for Brandon Straka. He pleaded guilty to one count of disorderly conduct:
Just a little of what he's been subjected to:
More Americans and Republicans leaders need to be outraged at the US Department of Justice wasting so much money and time on this political prosecution. Prosecutor now talking about a tweet...f*cking absurd.

Bond hearing up now. Judge Emmet Sullivan (yes that one) presiding. Jail inspector found several issues at the Gulag but still concluded conditions met standards.
Sullivan asks how long Gieswein has been in isolation. DOJ says since December 31 but Gieswein said they’ve been in isolation since Christmas Eve.

Every positive test results in 14 day isolation , he’s on 2nd 14 day isolation.

Detainees in 22-hour lockdown now.
Unreal. DOJ now says quarantine lockdowns will cause more trial delays. Gieswein jury selection supposed to begin end of February. Sullivan now talking March or April trial.

Gieswein has been incarcerated for a year.

Gieswein atty asks Sullivan to consider motion for bond.
