Add Judge Tim Kelly (Trump appointee and one of the worst on the DC bench) to list of judges threatening to add other enhancements to remaining convictions if 1512c2 is reversed.

This is his threat during a Jan 2024 sentencing for Gilbert Fonticoba, who went inside the building for 3 minutes. In a stipulated bench trial, Kelly found him guilty of 1512c2 and civil disorder.

Defense lawyer arguing against DOJs 62 month prison sentence recommendation based on SCOTUS review of 1512c2.

Here is what Judge Tim Kelly--who will be at the top of the list of any judiciary review of J6--said. "Vary upward" means add time to sentence.

Judge Kelly, who sentenced Enrique Tarrio to 22 years, is not just a stammering moron in court he is a moron period.

Kelly--who worked for Sen. Grassley and was Federalist Society approved--JUST SAID the impact of Jan 6 in DC is worse than criminals who rob Walgreens

IMPEACH

Judge Kelly sentenced Fonticoba to 48 months for the 1512c2 conviction but then claims he would sentence Fonticoba to 48 months on only the civil disorder conviction to justify his decision to send a man with no criminal record and 2 teenage children to jail for 4 years on charge that might be reversed by SCOTUS. (Max for civil disorder is 5 years.)

These are the bloodthirsty dunces J6ers must deal with every day.

House released heavily redacted transcript of J6 committee interrogation of longtime White House employee to pry information about Trump's private phone calls, meetings, and activity on Jan 6.

This is line of questioning led by Dan George, the committee's senior inquisitor:

Pelosi-hired thug asks White House employee--who clearly is not pleased by being forced to cooperate--about a private convo between president and vice president on Jan 6.

This is why Dems/Biden WH wanted this transcript concealed--and why is first part of answer redacted?

UNBELIEVABLE: Dan George, J6 lawyer, asks WH employee if Trump called Pence a "p*ssy" on Jan 6.

Employee says no.

Something very wrong with these people...

NEW: Judge Cannon issued an order related to CIPA (Classified Information Procedures Act) filings in classified documents case. Special Counsel is using CIPA guidance to conceal some materials from Trump, his co-defendants, and lawyers.

For now, Cannon says mostly ok but we'll see on other records. She overall seems inclined to make as much discovery available not just to defense but public, too

As a reminder: Judge Cannon has viewed the files in the indictment--which is why her comments last week about "arbitrary enforcement" of Espionage Act should scare the sh*t out of DOJ.

It appears Smith is trying to redact correspondence in the Presidential Daily Brief---from the former president.

The cited Motion to Compel was the bombshell motion filed in January where Team Trump articulated the other members of the prosecution team--Biden WH, intelligence community, National Archives, top DOJ officials--which Cannon is still considering.

Her order throws plenty of lowkey shade at Jack Smith. One section she tosses entirely--at Smith's request--is "classified" material that has nothing to do with the case and (read her words here) was BS to begin with:

In an effort to stem a flood of requests by J6ers serving time for 1512c2, the obstruction count pending before SCOTUS, DOJ and DC US Atty Matthew Graves now warn if it’s reversed and those convicted seek reduced or vacated prison sentence, the govt will ask for MORE time:

This is why exuberance over recent appellate court ruling overturning a sentencing enhancement for 1512c2 was unwarranted. DOJ and judges have plenty of options to extend prison time—either based on offense or “upward departures.”

Make no mistake—this is Graves’ way of threatening J6ers sentenced for DOJ unlawful use of 1512c2: if you ask for release or reduced sentence based on SCOTUS’ likely reversal of obstruction count, we’ll figure out a way to make you serve MORE time.

And most DC judges will be only too happy to comply:

The judge in this cited case—former chief judge Beryl Howell, the source of the rot in DC legal/judicial system—recently acknowledged the forthcoming tsunami of court motions if 1512c2 is reversed this summer.

She suggested the new enhancements also cited in the screenshot above. They will not accept defeat on 1512c2—in fact, they will instead punish those seeking justified relief.

Shut down this court and US Atty office.

NEW: Judge Cannon continues to squeeze DOJ to define the vague terms in the Espionage Act. She just ordered Jack Smith and Team Trump to file proposed jury instructions by April 2 on how jurors should interpret "unauthorized possession" of national defense files.

She attempted to get an answer on this element last week...

Cannon repeatedly asked prosecutors to explain which official and/or agency determines "unauthorized possession" of a document. DOJ admitted NARA has no law enforcement role in assessing who--esp a former president or VP--is keeping a record without authority.

Plenty of debate about presidential v personal.

Keep in mind as she mentions Presidential Records Act--she has not yet ruled on Trump's motion to dismiss based on protections of the PRA. I don't know if she is pressing DOJ for this particular jury instruction to help her decide on the motion?

She also hasn't set a hearing on the pending motion to dismiss case on selective prosecution--perhaps DOJs jury instructions/verdict form will help animate her thinking on that matter, too.

declassified.live/p/arbitrary-en…

It's extremely early to ask for preliminary jury instructions considering a new trial date hasn't been set.

Given her focus on the vague terms of the Espionage Act--including when the taking of papers represents a crime (the day after Trump left office)--and DOJ's unsatisfactory answers, this is one way to force DOJ to define the terms on paper and possibly defend them during a hearing.

"The Court finds that the evidence did not establish the District Attorney’s receipt of a material financial benefit as a result of her decision to hire and engage in a romantic relationship with Wade. This finding is by no means an indication that the Court condones this tremendous lapse in judgment or the unprofessional manner of the District Attorney’s testimony during the evidentiary hearing."

LOL

ajc.com/politics/read-…

More LOL:

"Even after considering the proffered cellphone testimony from Defendant Trump, along with the entirety of the other evidence, neither side was able to conclusively establish by a preponderance of the evidence when the relationship evolved into a romantic one."

McAfee gave Willis so many outs here including her racist screed at church:

"The District Attorney ascribed the effort as motivated by 'playing the race card.' She went on to frequently refer to SADA Wade as the 'black man' while her other unchallenged SADAs were labeled 'one white woman' and 'one white man.'

The effect of this speech was to cast racial aspersions at an indicted Defendant’s decision to file this pretrial motion. However, the speech did not specifically mention any Defendant by name."
