Incoming: I have transcript of yesterday's hearing in Judge Kelly's courtroom about last-minute revelation a trusted confidante to some of the defendants was an FBI informant for nearly 2 years.
Defense attorney notes other issues with unknown FBI informants in the case
DOJ claimed they didn't instruct the FBI informant to collect intel on defendants, attys, etc but here's one defense attorney telling Judge Kelly about her outreach to him:
This FBI informant seemed to be most solicitous of defendant Joe Biggs--his attorney explains here:
This is pure 🔥🔥🔥 and should be sent to every representative on @JudiciaryGOP.
I've recommended a public and thorough vetting of FBI CHS program, which is mostly used to entrap citizens to build right-wing "domestic terror" threat
As I pointed out on Laura Ingraham last night--just like Whitmer fednapping---there are MORE FBI informants than defendants in Proud Boys case:
Defense lawyer asked DOJ if 2 other defense witnesses are also FBI informants (CHS).
Prosecutors did not answer.
And I'll leave it here for now.
One defense lawyer starts to raise DOJ tactics to Cuba, where he was born.
Judge Kelly, the rubber stamp for all this, cuts him off

BREAKING NEWS: Just when you think DOJ can't get any dirtier--
New motion just filed by defense in Proud Boys trial accusing DOJ of using an FBI informant to spy on and infiltrate the defense team
Holy sh*t this is beyond dirty.
DC US Attorney Matthew Graves' office notified defense team TODAY that a defense witnesses has been an FBI informant since the BEGINNING of the case thru start of trial.
"The CHS participated in prayer meetings with...the defendants' families."
This is starting to sound worse than Whitmer fednapping hoax.
Graves' office continues to mislead court and defendants about actual number of FBI informants (CHS).
Interesting ruling from Judge Trevor McFadden yesterday. (H/T @kyledcheney)
After finding Kevin Seefried (Confederate flag, Fanone look-alike) guilty on all charges, McFadden is delaying his trip to prison to serve 3-year sentence until DC circuit rules on obstruction appeal...
Judge Carl Nichols is the only judge to have dismissed the 1512(c)(2) obstruction of an official proceeding count. This is the post-Enron law bastardized by DOJ to turn nonviolent protesters into felons. It is by far the most common felony in J6 cases--roughly 350 or so charged.
After Nichols twice refused to dismiss obstruction count in the case of Garret Miller, Matthew Graves' office (DC US Atty) appealed.
Arguments heard in December--judgment expected any day. If appellate court upholds Nichols' order, this will have MAJOR impact on J6 prosecution:
Recall my report on the spreadsheet containing hidden messages btw FBI agents related to doctored informant report, destroying evidence, and spying on atty-client comms? DOJ claimed portions were “classified or sensitive,” deleted 80 rows. Judge can’t make them out lol
Pending before Judge Kelly based on incriminating FBI messages are motions to dismiss for 6A violations related to surveilling privileged comms btw defendant and lawyer.
DOJ claims incarcerated individuals aren’t entitled to attorney-client privilege.
Sometimes you stumble across the Twitter account of a prosecutor who has handled a few high profile J6 cases and the activity on his account proves he’s a Trump-hating leftist.
More shortly.
Here we go:
AUSA Michael Gordon is on loan from Florida tasked to DC US attorney’s office to prosecute Jan 6 criminal cases. He’s handled some high profile defendants including Richard Barnett and Kyle Fitzsimons.
I’ll post here a series of tweets that Gordon has “liked” to show his political bias. No commentary necessary, you can draw your own conclusions
