NEW: J6 attorneys take DOJs controversial use of “obstruction of an official proceeding” felony against Capitol protesters to SCOTUS. Norm Pattis and Steve Metcalf writing on behalf of their client, Jake Lang…
A 3-judge panel at DC appellate court issued what one judge called a “splintered” decision on proper use of the post-Enron 1512(c)(2) felony now applied to roughly 320 J6 defendants.
Full court then refused another hearing. This always was headed for SCOTUS.
Judge Florence Pan, appointed by Biden, wrote the quasi-majority opinion applying an “anything goes” reading of the statute.
Her husband is Max Stier, a Dem Party activist who was part of the Brett Kavanaugh character assassination campaign:
Judge Katsas (Trump) dissented from Pan. Judge Walker (Trump) tried to have it both ways.
Btw this case/appeal addressed J6ers also charged with assault not the dozens (think Jacob Chansley) not charged with a violent offense.

Finally comparing new partially redacted Mar-a-Lago affidavit to original. Never before has a former president been legally harassed over keeping, moving documents FROM HIS OWN PRESIDENCY.
Storage room had boxes other than WH materials, a fact DOJ tried to conceal from public:
Not sure why DOJ wanted this redacted - maybe to prevent public from seeing organized nature of WH boxes?
LOL so genius FBI agent tells judge bc 15 boxes given to NARA had files with "classified markings" (if you believe FBI) that must mean all the other boxes had classified docs too. BTW the switcheroo here is from classified to national defense info--which was NOT in subpoeana
As I noted yesterday, there is zero chance the feds were not involved in the case of Taylor Taranto, J6 protester accused of stalking the Obamas and members of Congress.
DOJ admits Taranto has been under investigation since Jan 6--but wasn't charged until 6/29 🤔
FBI has had Taranto's cell phone number since Jan 6 (as part of broad geofence warrant no doubt). They've been tracking Taranto's movements in and out of Washington, including attendance at vigils outside DC Gulag and J6 court proceedings...
Well, that was fast! FBI was able to match up Taranto's hat with CCTV footage in one day! Amazing.
Matthew Graves, after mispresenting a Truth Social post by Trump in detention motion, wants judge to deny Taranto's release even though he has no record and is a Navy veteran.
DC US Attorney Matthew Graves personally quashed a criminal investigation into Hunter Biden's tax crimes that occurred in DC in 2014 and 2015.
Can a federal prosecutor be charged with obstruction of justice?
Holy sh*t: DC US Attorney Matthew Graves buried the evidence of Hunter Biden's Burisma payments in 2014 and 2015 and FARA violations.
This is a major scandal.
Graves then allowed the statute of limitations to expire allowing Hunter Biden off the hook for tax evasion, failure to pay or file, filing a false return, and possible FARA violations (which we all know he did)
So while Graves was rounding up Capitol trespassers in 2022, he… https://t.co/D2QZitOhIktwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
NEW filing in case of Ryan Nichols, veteran and rescuer charged with multiple charges for J6.
Atty Joe McBride demands govt info on FBI informants, uncharged agitators incl Ray Epps, role of Sedition Hunters, and identity of one of the most mysterious provocateurs--1% Watchdog twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
My article here is a footnote.
1% Watchdog created a "Stop the Steal" Zello private chat on Jan 1, added users then switched the channel to public right before the breach.
A reporter just happened to be there to report content of call in real time:
1% Watchdog--whom Judge Amit Mehta overseeing Oath Keepers case where this Zello chat was critical evidence against Jessica Watkins--had no interest in his identity.
William Bosanko. the very self-important CEO of NARA, told House Intel what triggered their inquiry into missing presidential records was the fact Trump didn't give them the transition letter from Obama and letter from Kim Jong Un.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Bosanko then claimed there was a list of missing items. When pressed by Rep. Stefanik for the list, he said there wasn't one. Kept referring to 2 letters 😂
Bosanko also tried to evade answering questions about specificity of "missing" Trump records.
DOJ "put him on notice" that the matter was under investigation:
