3.) January 6th was not an “armed insurrection”​

Thoughtful people concede that there were bad apples stirring up patriots on January 6th. But the vast majority of those who entered the Capitol building – often through doors opened by Capitol police – wandered in, took selfies and wandered out. The only shot fired on January 6th was the one that resulted in the death of an unarmed, decorated female veteran named Ashli Babbitt.

It is far more likely that Trump supporters were set up on January 6th to deflect from rampant, premeditated voter fraud. The biggest indicator that the events at the Capitol were contrived to paint a narrative is the vast suppression of details surrounding that day.

Experts Believe GOP-Led House Has Constitutional Right to Set Innocent Jan 6 Victims Housed in the DC Gulag Free




Set them free.

On Jan 6 2021, four Americans died at the US Capitol. They were there protesting the stolen 2020 Presidential election. Ashli Babbitt was shot dead and the Capitol policeman who did it walks free. Rosanne Boyland was beaten while she was laying unconscious. Two innocent gentlemen were standing in the crowd when the Capitol police started firing flash bombs and they died.

The Capitol police involved in these deaths walk free.

Other main players walk free. One was a Capitol policeman who claimed he was the victim that day but the truth may show the opposite. He recently received an award from Joe Biden for his accusations. Another instigator in the crowd identified by The Gateway Pundit was Ray Epps. He instigated the riots at the Capitol that day and he walks free.

Nancy Pelosi’s Filmmaker Daughter Alexandra Pelosi Caught on Tape REFUTING J6 NARRATIVE – Admitting Jan. 6 Protests Not an Insurrection, DC Courts Too Biased




Nancy had a camera crew at the US Capitol as if she knew it was going to be a historic day. It was quite the coincidence.

As it turned out, January 6 was a historic day. It was also well-planned and staged.

Now there is never before released video of Nancy Pelosi’s daughter admitting to a January 6 defendant that the insurrection narrative was nonsense and that Washington DC is too biased to hold fair trials for Trump supporters.


In the video below, Nancy Pelosi’s daughter, Alexandra Pelosi, is meeting with a January 6 defendant she wanted desperately to be in her sham documentary. It is a meeting with this same J6 defendant and his attorney. Alexandra Pelosi asked the defendant numerous times to participate. He politely declined.

The Gateway Pundit reached out to the January 6 defendant in this video to confirm the details in the recording.

Alexandra Pelosi agreed to be recorded by the defendant.


In this video, Alexandra Pelosi is on camera saying many very shocking things. She mocks the idea that January 6th was an insurrection and admits that DC is too biased to hold fair trials and that many J6ers would be found not guilty if their cases were handled anywhere else in the country, and much more.

This video has not yet been made public. This is an exclusive video for The Gateway Pundit audience.

Former Trump Official Debunks The January 6th “Coup” Narrative Once And For All




“You never thought it was a coup or anything?” Ian asked.

“Dude, I was running the military,” Miller replied. “There was no coup.”

“There was going to be no military coup,” he added.

“I spent my life in service of this country, and I swore to protect and defend the Constitution,” he continued. “There’s no way that I was going to allow… back to your point about resigning. If it came down to that and the president was not about…. he wasn’t going there.”

“If it would’ve gone there, I would’ve resigned and gone right outside and gotten on TV and said, I resigned in protest because I was asked to do something anti-constitutional,” he went on. “Period. End of story by have a nice day. That’s what’s, if he asked for you to bring troops out on, if, if he no, if he want, if he was going to use them inappropriately or anti constitutionally.”

The Department of Justice has subpoenaed a number of Trump associates for the Special Counsel investigation into former President Donald Trump’s role in January 6. The former First Daughter Ivanka Trump, her husband and former Trump adviser Jared Kushner . Former Vice President Mike Pence and former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows have also been subpoenaed.

The subpoeanas were issued among heightened public interest in the more than 14,000 hours of January 6 footage, which the new Republican-led House of Representatives has given access to Fox News primetime host Tucker Carlson. Becker News recently reported on January 6 footage divulged at trial that shows undercover officers with Trump gear mingling among the protesters and Capitol Police officers encouraging protesters to go towards the capitol.

FBI Had 'At Least 40' Undercover Informants Instigating Trouble on January 6th



On Tuesday, the government admitted that eight FBI confidential agents were embedded among the Proud Boys on January 6. Roots allege that the Homeland Security Investigations (HIS) agency had about 19 informants active at the time. In addition, at least 13 undercover plain-clothes DC Metro police agents were among the Proud Boys.

“When added to the 8 FBI CHSs now acknowledged by the prosecutors, this means that there were at least 40 undercover informants or agents doing surveillance among defendants on January 6,” Roots said, adding that the defense would have been “much more aggressive” in the initial trial if they would have known “the scope and scale” of January 6 undercover government scheme.

Pezzola is currently standing trial in DC with the Proud Boy’s former national chairman Enrique Tarrio and members Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, and Zachary Rehl. They are accused of conspiring against President Joe Biden taking office in 2021.

Appeals Court Calls Into Question Hundreds of January 6 Prosecutions



“A defendant must intend to obtain a benefit that he knows is unlawful,” Walker concluded.

Defense attorneys for Jan. 6 defendants are already poring over Walker’s analysis. Nicholas Smith, who argued the case on behalf of three Jan. 6 defendants before the appeals court panel in December, said that if Walker’s contention is correct, his narrow definition of “corrupt intent” is already the binding opinion of the court.

This is a problem of the Justice Department’s own making. They wanted to use the obstruction charge as a sword hanging over the head of January 6 rioters to get them to plead down. Facing 20 years in prison, most of the January 6 defendants took their deal.

If hundreds of rioters are freed, DoJ and the Biden administration will be facing a nearly unprecedented backlash. As they say in politics, “very bad optics.”

Jeremy Brown Sentenced to 7 Years and 3 Months in Prison for Refusing to Work as an Undercover Operative for FBI on January 6 and Then Later Releasing Audio of His Meeting with FBI




Jeremy released a video of his encounter with government officials when they came to his home. Jeremy also released audio of his meeting with the FBI at a local restaurant when they tried to recruit him to work undercover for him on January 6th in Washington DC.

Jeremy explained in his video that the FBI called his cellphone and asked for a meeting after trying to contact him at his house. Jeremy then met with the FBI agents at a restaurant in Ybor City in December 2020. He told Brandon Gray that 38 seconds into the interview the FBI attempted to recruit him to spy on the Oath Keepers.

The Gateway Pundit first spoke with Jeremy Brown in June 2021 after he went public with his incredible story. Jeremy was SAFE at the time, but laying low and keeping on the situation until he says he has “a full grasp on any fallout that is sure to result.”

In September 2021 the same agents who tried to recruit him months earlier returned to Jeremy Brown’s home with nearly two dozen agents to arrest him.

At 3:45 PM Eastern, the FBI raided retired Army Ranger Jeremy Brown’s home and arrested Jeremy. The charge was trespassing. The Gateway Pundit was notified the next morning by his family and an attorney. The FBI searched their house, RV, and trailer for hours. Then they arrested Jeremy and took him away.

Picture from Jan 6 Resurfaces – Three Individuals with “Civil War” Shirts Now Suspected of Being Deep State Plants






LEAs-on-Jan-6-Look-Alikes-476x600.jpg


Far-left VOX was sure to share the photo to build upon the narrative that Trump supporters, were violent and ready to take down the Capitol that day. Despite President Trump having 1.1 million people at his rallies to Joe Biden’s less than 2,000 supporters at his “rallies”, and there being no reported violence at Trump rallies, the left was quick to call all the acts of violence that day committed by Trump supporters.


However, as brought to our attention by one reader:

In the original picture, you could see all three individual’s shoes – they are all soft-soled black military/cop issue. Very few, if any, patriots walked around in shoes like this on J6.
Not only that, the pants they all are wearing are all “police issue” with cargo side pockets. I compared their pic with the videos of the cops on the Capitol steps and the type of shoes and pants are a 100% match with Metro Police. And the gloves all look like department equipment. Also, they have wires and what looks like a radio hanging from their collar, and two of them are wearing earphones. The guy on the left has some device hanging down which could be a camera, body-cam, radio device… And the ring on one of the belts might be for a baton, or…?
It also is not in keeping, with the basically peaceful nature of us patriots, who would never advertise a rally or ‘protest’ as anything remotely symbolizing a ‘civil war.’ I think any patriot wearing a sweatshirt like that would be ostracized, or shut down quickly.

So why does this case pose a very substantial problem for the prosecution?

Judge Florence Pan, who wrote the majority opinion, went beyond the meaning of overt conduct sufficient to meet the statutory test to the question of a party’s motive; that is, was the conduct engaged in with ”corrupt” intent which the statute requires. And here is a split that may doom cases already decided and others still on the docket. Judge Justin Walker concurred in part, and he and the dissenting judge’s discussion describe the rickety foundation of the ruling for future challenges.

I do not join Section I.C.1 of the lead opinion -- which declines to decide the scope of (c)(2)’s “corrupt[]” mental state -- because I believe that we must define that mental state to make sense of (c)(2)’s act element. If (c)(2) has a broad act element and an even broader mental state, then its “breathtaking” scope is a poor fit for its place as a residual clause in a broader obstruction-of-justice statute. See Van Buren v. United States, 141 S. Ct. 1648, 1661 (2021) (reasoning that “breathtaking” scope “underscores the implausibility of the Government’s interpretation”).
Instead, I would give “corruptly” its long-standing meaning. It requires a defendant to act “with an intent to procure an unlawful benefit either for himself or for some other person... The defendant must “not only kn[ow] he was obtaining an ‘unlawful benefit,’” it must also be “his ‘objective…’ “corruptly” makes sense of (c)(2)’s place in the statutory scheme and avoids rendering it a vague and far-reaching criminal provision.

He cites numerous criminal case opinions in which this is the standard. But he held that even under his reading of the term “corruptly,” the appellants met the statutory test and the judgment should stand.

Judge George Katsas dissented. He contends that the government’s reading of the statute is both overly broad and unconstitutional. Aside from disputing the correct means of interpreting the statute, he notes how much harder the punishment is should the two parts of the law be treated as one: “By collapsing most of section 1512 into its subsection (c)(2), the government’s interpretation would lump together conduct warranting up to three decades of imprisonment with conduct warranting at most three years -- a distinction reflected in the broader structure of section 1512. “

(Doubtless the prosecution’s lumping the two sections together maximizes the pressure on defendants to plead guilty, which is surely why the government chose to blur the distinction.) Moreover, he contends that the government’s interpretation renders other sections of the law redundant:

Here, the government’s interpretation of subsection (c)(2) would swallow up all of the immediately preceding subsection (c)(1), most of section 1512, and much of the entire chapter 73, reaching dozens of offenses covering much narrower acts and authorizing much lower penalties. I am unaware of any case resolving ambiguity in favor of such wholesale redundancy.

Where are the Republicans and why aren't they setting the prisoners who have been held without bail or trial free.
Are we any better than the worst communist country when we continue to imprison these people without trial?
It's their second Easter in jail and not with their families and for a show political move by a monster posing as Speaker of the House.
A vile old woman who claims to be Christian and her Bishop will not give her the Sacrament it is the duty of every Catholic to receive at Easter.
It strains the faith to see that the Pope has not issued a Papal warning to her and Joe Biden for their lie that they are devout Catholics.

The plaintiffs argue that the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy has denied access to the Capitol Surveillance Videos to any other news organization or journalist, except to Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson Tonight. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy gave Carlson access to over 40,000 hours of January 6 footage earlier this year, which has premiered exclusively on Fox News.

The news organizations filed the lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act, seeking general access to the government videos. While congressional committees investigating the riot have been provided with the videos, and some clips were shown during the impeachment proceedings, the plaintiffs have requested access to the videos from the Speaker’s Office and leaders of both parties in the House and Senate, but have not yet received them. The Speaker’s office has only indicated that the videos will be released to the press and public in some manner eventually.

According to the Citizen’s Guide on using the Freedom of Information Act, “The FOIA does not apply to elected officials of the Federal Government, including the President, Vice President, Senators, and Representatives. The FOIA does not apply to the Federal judiciary. The FOIA does not apply to private companies; persons who receive Federal contracts or grants; private organizations; or State or local governments.”

They argue that the videos are a critical source of information about the events of January 6 and are necessary to hold government officials and participants accountable. The plaintiffs note that the riot was a violent attack on American democracy and that access to the videos is essential for journalists to report on the truth and to ensure that the public has a clear understanding of what occurred.

Political Prisoner Kenneth Joseph Thomas a Veteran and Father of Four Did Not Enter US Capitol, Did Not Attack Police, Faces 30 Years in Prison




Arriving at the Capitol after 3 pm, and well after Congress had evacuated, Joe moved to the front lines of the action. He preached “No violence!” and “We back the blue!”

He took pipes away from people and handed them to the police. He defended an elderly man lying on the ground, bleeding from his head after being struck by police. Joe never entered the Capitol building and never attacked a police officer, but they wielded their batons freely over the back of his head. He recorded several hours of video on his phone that day. Watch some of that here.

Read what happened next in Joe’s own words:

Weeks later, I was made aware that my picture appeared on the FBI’s Most Wanted List posted on Facebook. As a result, I sought legal counsel who advised me to let them find me themselves. Soon afterward, I began noticing signs I was being surveilled.
Early one morning in May 2021, while on the road for work, I was caught off guard by a flash bang grenade and shouts from a fully armed FBI counterterrorism SWAT team to get down. I fully cooperated, immediately, without resistance. They then executed a search warrant collecting clothing and electronic devices from my hotel room.
After my arrest, I was released on a personal recognizance bond. I knew that I was one of the fortunate ones. Furthermore, I knew God wanted me out for a reason.


The tyrannical government has not let up on this man who served his nation and loves God and country. As has been typical in J6 cases, acceptance of plea offers would be tantamount to lying, and therefore sinful in nature. Rejecting these pleas results in more charges. It’s a no-win situation. Joe knows his earthly freedom is soon ending. He won’t back down. He considers this his Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednigo moment.

The conspiracy, Mulroe explained, can be “unspoken, implicit, a mutual understanding, or a wink and a nod”—a laughably broad definition for an offense akin to treason.

Even with that low bar, prosecutors struggled to put the pieces together, instead arguing that inflammatory political rhetoric expressed on private platforms represented legitimate threats of violence. No one brought a weapon to the Capitol on January 6; how can individuals overthrow the government without artillery?

Further, the defendants were seen at different locations outside and inside the building that afternoon. Enrique Tarrio, who had been arrested upon his arrival in D.C. on January 4 for his involvement in a clash with BLM rioters the month before, was in a Baltimore hotel room on January 6, following orders to leave the city after his release.

“It’s fairy dust,” Steven Metcalf, Pezzola’s attorney, told the jury Tuesday morning. Pezzola is charged with using a riot shield to punch out a window pane that day. Metcalf asked how a “transfer of brain power” between men who didn’t really know each other resulted in a near-coup on January 6.

The government’s case, Nordean’s defense attorney Nicholas Smith told the jury, was held together by “paper clips and rubber bands.” He warned that any convictions on the conspiracy counts would set a grave precedent. “Is every riot a conspiracy? This is very dangerous.”

Carmen Hernandez, who recently joked in court that she was not an FBI informant after the government dropped yet another late disclosure related to an additional confidential human source, blasted prosecutors for waiting until the final days of the trial to accuse her client, Zachary Rehl, of attacking police with pepper spray. Prosecutors showed a grainy, inconclusive clip to Rehl when he testified on his own behalf last week, purporting to show Rehl aiming a pepper spray device toward a line of officers. (Pezzola also took the stand on his own behalf.)

“Really? Really?” Hernandez said of the last-minute dirty trick. “There is no witness, no officer [testimony], no other video” that shows Rehl using spray. (Also, as of now, he is not charged with assault on an officer.)


But, of course, all government shenanigans are condoned in the courtroom of Judge Timothy J. Kelly. The Trump appointee and former Justice Department lawyer has acted as an extra prosecutor, giving the government near carte blanche discretion in this case. Nearly every ruling leading up to the trial favored the prosecution.

He repeatedly denied the defendants’ release from jail at the Justice Department’s request. As evidence mounted that Trump supporters cannot get a fair trial in the most Democratic city in the country, Kelly refused to move the trial to another jurisdiction.

When the Justice Department belatedly disclosed the existence of multiple FBI informants—the government stipulated that the bureau had at least eight—in the Proud Boys, Kelly ordered the defense to “pre-clear” any questions about the role of individual informants with prosecutors. He also refused to compel the testimony of a key FBI informant who worked as Tarrio’s driver.

Kelly also ran interference for FBI agents. A member of the defense team uncovered explosive messages exchanged between FBI case agents that discussed doctored reports, destroyed evidence, and violations of attorney-client privilege. But Kelly abruptly ended defense questioning of the FBI agent, dismissed the jury, and gave prosecutors time to make up an excuse for the damning communications.

Which, of course, they did. And despite the government’s unsubstantiated claims as to the nature of the messages, Kelly bought it hook, line, and sinker. The jury never saw the incriminating messages.

During the trial, Kelly expressed open hostility to defense attorneys, frequently overruling their objections while sustaining those made by prosecutors. Kelly seated a politically biased jury that prompted Parloff, no right-winger, to express skepticism about the panel’s impartiality.

Former Proud Boys Leader Found Guilty of Seditious Conspiracy

Criminal Justice, Proud Boys, January 6, Capitol Riot, Donald Trump, Politics, Courts, Department Of Justice

AllSides Summary​

A Washington, D.C. jury found Enrique Tarrio, former leader of the Proud Boys, guilty of seditious conspiracy in connection with the events at the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Details: The charge of seditious conspiracy carries up to 20 years in prison. Tarrio was not present during the riot at the Capitol, having been arrested two days prior in a separate incident. The prosecution cited messages from Tarrio regarding the Jan 6. riot as evidence that the violence and obstruction was premeditated, including one message reading, “Make no mistake … we did this,” and another following the riot where he addressed fellow group members, stating, “Do it again.” Tarrio’s lawyer argued in court that the Proud Boys are “a scapegoat for Donald J. Trump and those in power,” alleging the Proud Boys were peacefully protesting, and the former president incited the riot. During closing arguments, prosecutor Conor Mulroe stated that the Proud Boys were “lined up behind Donald Trump and willing to commit violence on his behalf.”
How The Media Covered It: The Associated Press labeled the Proud Boys a “neo-fascist group” and Jan. 6 an “insurrection.” The Daily Wire labeled Jan. 6 a “riot” and did not characterize the Proud Boys. Forbes labeled Jan. 6 both an “attack” and a “riot” and labeled the Proud Boys a “far-right group.” The Associated Press determined that the guilty verdict could “embolden the Justice Department as a special counsel investigates Trump.”
