1/ Thread: January 6th - Looking Back. We knew almost all of this way back on January 7th, 2021.
* Photos surfaced of Jacob 'QAnon Shaman' Chansley with Rudy Giuliani in Nov 2020. Behind Rudy in the photo is Bernie Kerik who has been close to Giuliani since about the 1980s.
2/ Kerik was NYPD Commish when Rudy was Mayor of NY & received a Trump pardon in early 2020 for several felonies from years earlier. Kerik was also on a #FightBack Foundation Board soliciting donations to combat the 'radical left' with Lin Wood, yes the 'execute Mike Pence' guy.
3/ Kyle Rittenhouse's initial lawyer John Pierce was also on the Board, but stepped down after his financial issues were revealed. Rittenhouse eventually fired Pierce who now reps J6 defendants and Proud Boys. Pierce made an interesting Rittenhouse related tweet the night of J6.
4/ Pierce has referred to his ex-client Giuliani as a 'good friend'. Giuliani left a voice mail for the wrong Senator on Jan 6 - he meant it for Sen. Tuberville - where Rudy expresses a desire to delay certification of the presidential election results.
5/ What did the Capitol breach accomplish? It slowed certification. And then we also have a former John Pierce client, George Papadopoulos, who tweeted about a '1776 moment' on Jan 5th and appears to have subseuently deleted the tweet.
6/ And then again on the night of J6, the Proud Boy, Giuliani, Lin Wood, George Papadoupolous and apparently Enrique Tarrio (see tweets below) and more connected lawyer added more on social media.
7/ More has come to light. Chansley was sentenced and is in prison. He's hired Pierce for a potential appeal. 'Trial by Combat' Giuliani met w/ the Committee. More on the '1776 moment' has come out. Enrique Tarrio - indicted for 'seditious conspriacy' - is now in this mix.
8/ According to the New Yorker, six days after the Capito Riot, Pierce arranged a meeting with Enrique Tarrio and his then client Rittenhouse. The article refers to Tarrio as Pierce's 'purported client.'
9/ A year and a half later, there is so much out there about J6. Almost all the information in this thread was known as early as Jan 7th, 2021, just one day after the Capitol attack. The Committee has done a ton of work. The hearings are must see television. Will you tune in?

1/5 - @StateBarCA Disbars Attorney After Intimidation and Coercion of High School Students - Amir Sam Dibaei allegedly withheld settlement funds from the clients & called them names such as “sociopath,” “pathetic swindler” and “scumbag.” by @a_lancaster3 law.com/therecorder/20…
2/5 - Interestingly, California attorney John Pierce was accused of stealing funds meant for his ex-client Kyle Rittenhouse. Another ex-client called Pierce a "crook" who "should be in a penitentiary." Pierce was counsel for Rudy Giuliani and now represents Jan 6 defendants.
3/5 - Pierce said last year he was under @StateBarCA inquiry. Team Rittenhouse suggested they reported Pierce to the bar. Pierce received big funding from Virage Capital, who also gave millions to Tim Howard who was recently disbarred in Florida. sunlight-reports.com/who-is-in-cont…

*Thread 1/5* *January 6th Cases*: Did the lawyer for the most J6 Defendants lie to a federal court in DC? John Pierce told the court his colleague Ryan Marshall is an "active member in good standing of the State Bar of California". ⬇️
2/5 The Pierce rep was is support of Marshall's application to practice law in DC. A previous DOJ J6 filing said Marshall was unlicensed and facing several felony charges, including conspiracy to commit fraud while clerking for a Pennsylvania judge. From @KlasfeldReports ⬇️
3/5 - Turns out Pierce made the same "active member in good standing of the State Bar of California" about Marshall to a federal court in Oregon in the Lavoy Finicum case. And then a federal court in Maryland took a closer at the license issue. Here's what the court found. ⬇️

1/5 - "Returned to Sender" ???
* Jacob "QAnon Shaman" Chansley appeal
* What's going on?
* DC Appeals Court told atty John Pierce by letter he's not approved to practice there and needs to fix this to do the Chansley appeal.
* It seems the court's letter was "returned to sender."
2/5 - Here's the DC Appeals Court letter telling John Pierce "you are not a member of the bar of this court" and an accompanying order. This is the letter that was apparently "returned to sender."
3/5 - In addition to this, earlier this year Pierce's firm was sued for approx. $436,000 for an alleged failure to pay law firm rent from April 2020 through March, 2021. Screenshots below. Link to complt. keepandshare.com/doc25/112996/m…

1/ *Capitol Riot Cases Update*
As @emptywheel reported, the 1st of attorney John Pierce's multiple Jan 6 defendants appears to have given Pierce the boot. Short filing at the screenshot, and then stick w/ this *thread*, about the ex-lawyer for Rudy Giuliani and Tulsi Gabbard.
2/ * Pierce applied for permission to practice law in New York last year, it was challenged based on ethical and financial concerns. Pierce, turned tail, and quit the case the next day, thereby avoiding a judge's decision.

3/ * Pierce applied to practice law in Wisconsin in the Rittenhouse case. It was challenged based on ethical and financial concerns. The prosecutors raised concerns about "ample opportunity for self-dealing and fraud." Pierce withdrew, avoiding a decision. keepandshare.com/doc25/110740/r…
