January 6th legal proceedings and investigations megathread

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

A judge has released a rioter into house arrest, finding him too stupid to pose any major threat to society.

Doug Jensen, a QAnon conspiracy theorist who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 in support of former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, was ordered released on home incarceration by a federal judge on Tuesday. Jensen, who was among the first rioters to enter the seat of the legislative branch of the federal government and chased U.S. Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman up the stairs leading to the Senate, believed that he was at the White House, which is the center of the executive branch.

U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly said that Jensen’s conduct was serious, but that the threat Jensen posed to the community could be mitigated through strict conditions of release. Under federal law, pretrial detention is supposed to be a last resort and implemented only when there are no other conditions that would ensure public safety.

Judge Kelly cited Jensen’s lack of a grade-school level understanding of the U.S. government in his decision to release Jensen. Jensen, in Jan. 6 videos that were released to the media on Monday night, repeatedly stated that he believed he was at the White House.

“This is me, touching the f--king White House,” Jensen said, with his hand on an exterior wall of the U.S. Capitol.

“Storm the White House!” Jensen screamed in another video as he panned up to the Capitol dome. “That’s what we do!”

Judge Kelly said that Jensen couldn’t have preplanned or coordinated his actions on Jan. 6 because Jensen “had no basic understanding of where he even was.”

Most of these yokels at least knew where they were sight-seeing.

Ha this guy got his bail revoked and sent back to jail because he watched the MyPillow guy's nonsensical fraud conference!

How are these stories even real?  The creators of the matrix we live in went too far with this one.  The Trump movement is becoming too farcical.

When Reality Winner went to prison for leaking classified information, I really had to wonder.

I don’t think think there is a better summary of everything wrong with the political/voting culture in this country then the fact that substance wise the 01/06th committee is probably the most damning investigation into a president and nobody gives a crap

Yelling about Russia for 5 years had its cost.

If I started telling you that Trump is a neocon would you stop gaslighting on Russiagate?

I'd tell you to stop beating the dead horse of Russia, but it's been pulverized years ago.

I didn’t bring Russia up, you did so who is actually beating a dead horse here? 🧐

My point is that it's a large part of why no one takes these investigations seriously.

“It’s all you mainstream Dems fault and the fact that supposed leftist like me, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, Katie Hapler, and others spent the past 5 years running defense for Trump on this and his other scandals even though there is more evidence of his guilt on this then half of the crap we dragged Hillary Clinton on played no role at all.”

None of those people changed the basic facts.

There's no way Trump gets the death penalty.

My condolences to vice president Pence on inevitably getting less than 5% of the vote in the Iowa caucuses

Sure, but he's probably got Dan Quayle's vote locked up in the Indiana primary.

Wait so Trump survives without any convictions outside possibly NY?

The NY case is the weakest.
