“Look out your windows bitches, look what’s coming."

Libertarian writer Steve Baker (@TPC4USA), a regular presence at the Prettyman courthouse who now works for The Blaze, surrendered on Jan. 6 charges today.

Here's the case the FBI lays out:

"The only thing I regret is that I didn’t, like, steal their computers because God knows what I could’ve found on their computers if I’d done that."

"the 'powers that be' on all sides of the political equation need to see WE THE PEOPLE in force, letting them know that WE ARE WATCHING." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

"I'll confess to being truly inspired at the sight of so many patriots about to make what would surely be a powerful visual statement to the oath-breaking criminals who — at that very moment — were debating the certification of the Electoral votes." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

Something I think Steve and I agree on is that a lot of the charging decisions on Jan. 6 cases are subjective, and based upon prosecutorial discretion.

Today, in 2024, Steve is employed as a journalist.

But his J6 case is ultimately going to be about intent on Jan. 6, 2021.
Which is why his words are ultimately so critical here, because they speak to his contemporaneous intent. That’s what this case will come down to in the end, what he said at the time about what he was doing that day.

As @TPC4USA well knows from covering the John Sullivan case, claiming you were acting as a journalist doesn’t make it so, even if you license footage to media outlets. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

NEW: If you’d asked AI to generate the media diet of the very first Donald Trump supporter to breach the Capitol on Jan. 6, it’d probably come up with what Michael Sparks was consuming and regurgitating. Image
Michael Sparks was a big Facebooker, then he got big mad after his guy lost and joined Parler.

The first person he followed on the platform? Sean Hannity.

nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Like many election denying Donald Trump supporters, Michael Sparks appeared to be completely impervious to facts, reason, or logic.

"Trump will win by a landslide,” he boldly proclaimed, without any hint of doubt. “It won’t even be close.”

THREAD: Jan. 6 rioter Brian Mock, who repeatedly assaulted officers on Jan. 6, told a judge that there should be “accountability” for politicians who made false claims about the 2020 election.
…but then in an interview outside the courthouse, it was clear that he hasn’t fully moved on from election denialism, saying he was open to the notion that courts had “suppressed” evidence back in 2020. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Brian Mock received 33 months in federal prison, just a fraction of the nine years that prosecutors had requested.

Judge Boasberg said Mock was “too smart to have been fooled” by lies about the election.

Ex-FBI informant charged over false claims that fueled Biden impeachment inquiry due in court nbcnews.com/politics/joe-b…
"he claims to have contacts with multiple foreign intelligence agencies and had plans to leave the United States two days after he was arrested last week for a months-long, multi-country foreign trip."

Citing @emptywheel, Hunter Biden's lawyers say David Weiss' team mistook sawdust for cocaine.
Image

"Mistaking sawdust for cocaine sounds more like a storyline from one of the 1980s Police Academy comedies than what should be expected in a high-profile prosecution by the U.S. Department of Justice."

"Lo and behold, some seven months later, the Special Counsel finally figured out that Mr. Smirnov was lying—which should have been obvious to everyone, certainly by August 2020 when DOJ closed the investigation." Image

NEW: An anti-Biden FBI informant fed the bureau lies about Joe Biden and Hunter Biden during the 2020 presidential race, according to a new indictment. nbcnews.com/politics/joe-b…
"In short, the Defendant transformed his routine and unextraordinary business contacts with Burisma in 2017 and later into bribery allegations against [Joe Biden]... after expressing bias against [Joe Biden] and his candidacy." nbcnews.com/politics/joe-b…
As @daveweigel notes, James Comer was just out there regurgitating this nonsense in public as if it was in any way remotely credible.
