Judge bans questions on ‘Pink Beret girl’ after yet another Jan. 6 conspiracy theory goes bust: nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
A federal judge repeatedly talked about a woman in a pink beret today, so that was fun: nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
The judge who banned questions about whether #PinkBeret is some sort of super spy is also the finder of fact since this is a bench trial, so his order today amounted to saying, in sum and substance, let’s not waste time on this bullshit. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
But the defense team is welcome to call Pink Beret as a witness, if they can find her. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Social media users joked that the woman looked like a character out of a Wes Anderson movie and gave her nicknames like “Insurrection Eva Braun,” “fascist Matilda” and “Emily in-carceration,” a play on "Emily In Paris." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

"Of course I can't say it officially, but personally I support you all and don't want to see your group's name or reputation dragged through the mud."

-- MPD Lieutenant Shane Lamond, to Proud Boy Enrique Tarrio, after the Jan. 6 Capitol attack

MPD officer thought that burning a Black Lives Matter flag was just like burning a Trump flag.

"I drew attention to the Trump and American flags that were taken by Antifa and set on fire. I said all those would have to be classified as hate crimes too."

Alan Hostetter, a former California police chief representing himself in his Jan. 6 case, suggests in his opposition to the government's motion in limine that JFK's assassination and Tucker Carlson's cancelation are partially explained by Building Seven and the QAnon Shaman. Image
Gets meta quick! Image
Hostetter suggests that maybe the shooting of Ashli Babbitt was a "false flag within the greater false flag itself" and that everyone there was a crisis actor.

"Had you heard Ashli and her husband were part of a 'throuple' relationship?" he writes.

Early thread on the Jim Jordan witness who self-identifies as a “whistleblower.”
He’s gone from wanting to protect a subset of criminals because he likes their politics to calling for the FBI to be shut down entirely:
Asking just the real basic questions here just shreds the entire story to pieces.

The internet has known since Jan. 2021 that Adam Carolla's piece Megan Paradise was no. 9 on the FBI Capitol Violence website, and that she was almost certainly cooperating, but there's been nothing official to pin that on.

Now, thanks to Richard Barnett's legal team, there is: ImageImage
Megan Paradise was in Nancy Pelosi's office, and told the FBI she called her dad and cousin on FaceTime.

She wrote "You're fired" on a notebook and swiped a baseball that she gave to another defendant who was recently charged, she said. ImageImage
Megan Paradise told the FBI she "was afraid of flying and would therefore not have come to D.C. if President Trump had not asked his followers to be there." Image

Just to underline this, per this @alanfeuer report, a right-wing FBI special agent being celebrated by the House GOP was so determined to bury Jan. 6 cases that he helped get a case against a suspect who assaulted officers at the Capitol closed. nytimes.com/2023/05/17/us/… Image
“There’s no good way to say it, so I’ll just be direct: ...there is, at best, a sizable percentage of the employee population that felt sympathetic to the group that stormed the Capitol." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

NEW: DOJ says #PinkBeret "was charged because she committed a crime," and not to mess with another case, as a defense lawyer suggested. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
DOJ cites defense lawyer Kira West's comments to @JordanOnRecord and yours truly. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… ImageImage
"Indeed, the defendant has not a scintilla of evidence to support her repeated assertions, untethered from fact, that Ms. Vargas Geller is a member of law enforcement... The government’s charging decisions regarding another defendant are irrelevant..." Image
