Appointment television: the livestreaming of bar proceedings against John Eastman, the only coup plotter in the history of tge world so staggeringly stupid that he plotted a coup attempt on using his .edu account.
The link for Wednesday.

They apparently think it will take four days. Friday.

First hearing is Tuesday, 10:00 am. Image
Funny thing is, if he hadn't whined about it, I wouldn't have known to watch.

Retweet so everyone has the links to watch John Eastman get disbarred.

Also, all times are Pacific, so it's 1:00 Eastern, 12:00 Central and 11:00 Mountain.

Hard to find a better podcast on the topic, though I do wish the did more.
Great interviews, including wuth @AdamKinzinger and @kyledcheney
My onnly quibble with the episode would be on the issye of how the 1512 obstruction cases against Edward Jacob "Jake" Lang and two other defendants were handled by Judge Carl Nichols.

No mention was made of who appointed Nichols...

A new episode of Capitol Insurrection Report is available on Spotify and wherever you listen to podcasts.

We recap recent developments, including Pence's grand jury testimony, the Proud Boys seditious conspiracy verdict, the civil case brought by E Jean Carroll and news that Special Jack Smith is investigating the Big Rip-Off.
I then have a conversation with a sedition hunter who goes by the handle Patr10tic who has applied his skills in artificial intelligence to develop tools, and who has lately been keeping tabs on the community that has developed a series of bizarre conspiracy theories...

Guilty on the top charge. Questioning Spazzo's guilt on the seditious conspiracy count are understandable: they basically had to pick one of the footsoldiers to join the case to highlight the violent nature of the plot, but compartmentalization makes him seem less culpable.
I was concerned that they might be hung on the seditious conspiracy charge for all defendants. A hung jury for Pezzola? Seems fine, he'll still get plenty of time for the other counts.

Now maybe the DOJ can move on to the organizers, since they've freed up some AUSAs.
The overall verdict seems very thoughtful and balanced. This verdict really undermines the bleating of the defense regarding the supposed bias of DC jurors.

Of course, the January 6th "patriots" are going to claim this is further evidence of a "fedsurrection."

To my mind, it's just further evidence of overlap between far-right authoritarianism and law enforcement.
Thanks to the person who called this in.

In the meantime, the FBI needs to run the BOLO photos through to compare them with ID photos at the FBI and other federal law enforcement agencies.
Project Veritas has been pushing the narrative that lots of FBI were in the mob of attackers.

So it's odd when a former FBI agent who is arrested has connections with their organization.

One of the back burner stories of the January 6th investigation is the question of Joseph Cuffari, Trump's DHS Inspector General, still in office despite calls for his resignation.

pogo.org/investigation/…
The previous DHS IG, John Kelly, was forced out under Trump and replaced with his handpicked candidate, Joseph Cuffari.

Now, Cuffari is suing the "Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency over what his lawyers call 'baseless inquiries' into his conduct."

Epshteyn was paid $200k by Trump in 2022, and has had his phone seized by the DOJ. He was also a partner in Steve Bannon's $FJB crypto scam.

And, for some reason, he blew off the Committee's subpoena, but this was not the subject of a criminal referral.

abcnews.go.com/US/top-trump-a…
He was a central player in the post-election efforts to overturn the election, including the fake elector scheme. According to the government, he was talking to Bannon several times a day. (From the transcript of Bannon associate Alexandria Preate.) Image
Most of the attorneys who are not named Rudy were reluctant to take the 5th in Committee testimony, but Boris blew them off entirely. Why not charge him for this, as they did with Bannon and Navarro?

Possibly because they already had built a case against him on other charges.
