Hoping this is my last thread of the day but I can't pass up dissecting this batshit interview with a Proud Boys juror
Not only did they quickly convict on seditious conspiracy, this juror thought deleted messages were evidence of guilt---except the messages were probably...
removed by DOJ due to unknown number of FBI informants and other conspiracy "tools," unidentified and/or uncharged participants, in numerous chats.
Cell service was down everywhere in DC especially near Capitol. Nordean didn't have his phone on all day but sure, they should've texted each other to "stand down" or something. So that makes them seditionists, cool story, juror.
In a last-minute dirty trick, DOJ sprung on Zack Rehl a video allegedly showing Rehl spraying a cop with pepper spray. The video did not definitively ID Rehl--DOJ never charged him with assaulting police. But hey, who needs facts and evidence before a DC jury? Not this guy!
There ya go...
Based on jury profile, nearly all were anti-Trump or at least Democrats.
And this juror wanted to make DAMN SURE another "insurrection" never happens again!
(Recall one juror had BLM yard sign, foreman was a BLM sympathizer.)

Hearing now before Judge Jia Cobb on 2 lawsuits filed by anonymous FBI employees and agents.
Plaintiffs are seeking a temporary restraining order preventing the Trump DOJ from collecting and sharing names of those involved in Jan 6 investigation/prosecution.
Mark Zaid, Brad Moss, and Norm Eisen among the lawyers in court representing FBI.
Judge Cobb explaining why she wants to consolidate the 2 lawsuits--one filed by FBI agents association and one filed by 9 anonymous FBI employees.
Initial argument is related to a temp restraining order then a briefing on a preliminary injunction related to releasing the names of survey respondents. DOJ appears to say they don't plan to make names public.
Important to note that Chief Judge Boasberg has allowed the filing of the anonymous lawsuits even after admitting that is not the normal process.
FBI attorney now suggesting "quasi-governmental" officer" (Musk?) could access "confidential information" about the FBI employees
NEW: More evidence of doctored FBI pipe bomb video?
Here is the side by side of two different cameras from DNC security system.
One clip is at a glacial pace while the other camera appears to work at semi-normal frame rate.
THREAD:
But in a similar side by side posted by the FBI last night in its clean-up press release, the faster camera is intentionally SLOWED DOWN to make it appear both cameras are in sync. (Note the cheesy music and voice over.)
Even more suspicious--in 2021, the FBI posted this clip, which is from the very same camera as the new clip the FBI posted last night attempting to show the "pipe bomber" set down the device.
This is at 7:43pm. The time stamp of new clip is 7:52.
But why did the FBI wait YEARS to post a clip from roughly 10 minutes later on the SAME CAMERA?
Especially a clip that is supposed to debunk suspicions that the device was not planted at the DNC on Jan 5?
The year after her husband was appointed DC US attorney, Fatima Goss Graves enjoyed a big jump in donations to her radical leftwing nonprofit:
That’s the most recent 990 available. But major corporations and law firms bucked up for the group’s big 2024 gala. Here are just a few:
Here is Fatima Graves’ statement on the election.
Keep in mind—her husband at the time was prosecuting and imprisoning Trump supporters over Jan 6. After the election, he continued his steady pace of charging new individuals, which lasted until the week before Christmas:
NEW: Ring camera footage shows FBI SWAT raid at California home of a suspected J6 protester in October 2024.
The targeted individual was not home but at least 10-15 heavily armed FBI agents stormed the house using flashbangs, aiming guns at his wife, and holding her in handcuffs while interrogating her and traumatizing the neighborhood:
The harassment continued. (Note the time of the raid — 6am)
The subject, Jeff Snyder, according to his wife had left behind his phone and other items. He is still at large.
After an hour of pathetic cajoling over a loudspeaker, the tyrannical FBI agent threatened to involve their daughter — a Marine stationed in Japan.
Tell me again how @Kash_Patel is the threat to our country.
In never-before publicly posted footage from Hodges' body camera, Hodges is seen randomly assaulting J6 protesters outside the Capitol at 2pm.
This is about 40 minutes after DC Metro and Capitol Police launched their first assaults on the crowd gathered on Capitol grounds. Police improperly used "non-lethal" munitions including stun grenades, rubber bullets, pepper balls, and tear gas on peacefully assembled protesters, which enraged the crowd.
Hodges and other DC Metro officers arrived in head-to-toe riot gear ready for a fight. Listen to the reaction from Trump supporters who had already witnessed one fatality and several injuries at the hands of police.
Some called them "storm troopers" and "traitors."
It is necessary to understand the widespread use of excessive (and unnecessary) force by police officers that afternoon that in many cases led to physical clashes between cops and protesters.
You may recall Hodges July 2021 sworn testimony before J6 committee where he misrepresented his conduct on Jan 6 (as did the other police witnesses) and referred to protesters as “terrorists.”
Turns out he was doing the terrorizing
Shortly after arriving on the scene dressed like a stormtrooper, Hodges continues to randomly use his baton and body to assault protesters including women
After a nearly 11-month delay, the DC appellate court finally issued its ruling on Couy Griffin appeal of common J6 misdemeanor. Despite clear consensus during oral arguments 1752 charge required foreknowledge of USSS protectee, the 2 Dem judges affirmed conviction. Trump appointee Greg Katsas, who authored the key dissent that led to SCOTUS overturing 1512c2, again dissented.
Griffin never entered the building. So let's understand what this ruling means--a US citizen cannot protest on government grounds paid for by taxpayers if someone in Secret Service protection is somewhere on the premises. (Pence had been evacuated to an underground garage by this point.)
Absolutely outrageous decision again demonstrating a rigged system controlled by Democrats in our nation's capital to set dangerous precedents for DOJ and judges to continue distorting laws to criminalize political dissent.
As I've noted here repeatedly--oral arguments, where Judge Pillard clearly conveyed deep skepticism as to how DOJ applied 1752, were held a week before SCOTUS granted cert in Fischer.
The announcement signaled the court might overturn DOJ's most common felony.
So the Dem-led DC appellate court slow walked this decision for more than 10 months. And now 2 weeks before Election Day, DC circuit (led by Obama judge) publishes the opinion upholding Griffin's conviction.
Keep in mind-- the "restricted' area was not cordoned off by Secret Service but by Capitol Police (and a weak barrier at that). The snow fencing was not related to Jan 6 protest but to protect inaugural set up.
So DOJ and Dem judges took a statute intended to "better protect the President and other national leaders from assassination, kidnapping, and assault" and used it against Americans protesting on federal property OUTSIDE the building.
Read it and weep:
Greg Katsas (Trump) in his dissent raised the very same question that Judge Pillard (Obama) did during oral arguments: a concern innocent people walking on "restricted grounds" could be prosecuted under 1752, which the DOJ conceded was true.
