January 6th legal proceedings and investigations megathread

[riceowl]

Look how carefully written this story is. It's by a media reporter, not political. Fascinating! Like they're just reporting on what their own network is showing, not backing it up by any means. Nervous about lawsuits I suppose!

Tucker said the police did January 6th. Though it is possible QAnon Shaman merely possessed their spirits to get them to try and unlock every door for him and his friends before praising their benevolent assistance in making the day possible.

Again ... this is nothing new.
We, the Capitol police and Congress, knew shortly after about video showing some officers assisting or not really caring about the mob entering the Capitol.
Some have been reprimanded and I think one or two were fired.
So again POS Carlson is not saying/showing us any "wow." It's all hogwash.

I saw videos that week (2 years ago) of officers joking with him while he was in the Senate chamber.

Georgia Republicans, in their zeal to prove they have Trump's back, have Fani Willis squarely in their cross-hairs:

Republican Lawmakers in Georgia Move to Curb District Attorney Powers Ahead of Potential Trump Indictment

Republican lawmakers in Georgia are pushing a pair of bills that would establish an oversight board to discipline or oust district attorneys that fail to pursue low-level offenses – the latest and most serious conservative effort yet to stunt the authority of local prosecutors or to add aggressive new oversight checks on those they deem too political.

The legislative efforts come as Fani Willis, the district attorney in Atlanta, is pursuing a criminal investigation against former President Donald Trump and his supporters for attempting to undermine and interfere with the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, where he narrowly lost. In building what she’s said could become racketeering or conspiracy cases, she’s subpoenaed some of the Republican Party’s biggest names and drawn the ire of the former president, who most recently called her a “radical left prosecutor.”

Incredible just how shameless this Carlson is, if the transcripts are anything to go by.

Sadly this lawsuit, if won, won't actually affect Fox's revenue or viewership, but it is worth it for forcing transparency from behind the scenes of the network to really make it known once-and-for-all what a sham it is as far as being a credible news station goes.

Former President Donald Trump Calls For The Arrest Of the January 6 Committee For Treason As New Footage Of Capitol Raid Emerges

As Tucker Carlson continues to release more footage from the January 6 investigation, former president Donald Trump has decided to chime in.

The business CEO turned politician is calling for not only the release of those arrested for the attempted insurrection, but also for the arrest of the committee ruling over the investigation.

Trump claims that the recently released footage of the “January 6 Shaman” being escorted around the capitol “totally discredits” the entire operation and calls those in charge of the investigation “political hacks and thugs.”

In a recent Truth Social post the former president shared a video of a capitol cop wearing a MAGA resigning from the force believing he didn’t see any future for himself in that position.

The post included a statement in all caps which read: “GREAT JOB BY TUCKER CARLSON TONIGHT.”

He continued, “They knowingly refused to show the Videos that mattered. They should be tried for Fraud and Treason, and those imprisoned and being persecuted should be exonerated and released, NOW.”

Ex-Trump attorney admits statements about 2020 election were false and is censured by judge

Jenna Ellis was censured by a disciplinary judge in Colorado Wednesday, in the latest effort to hold accountable attorneys who boosted former President Donald Trump’s 2020 election reversal gambits.

Ellis signed a stipulation stating that several comments she made about the 2020 election violated professional ethics rules barring reckless, knowing or intentional misrepresentations by attorneys, according to documents posted by Colorado’s Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel. As part of the stipulation, Ellis agrees to pay $224.

Among the false statements highlighted in the stipulation were comments by Ellis on social media and in TV appearances claiming that the Trump campaign had evidence the election was “stolen.”

“The public censure in this matter reinforces that even if engaged in political speech, there is a line attorneys cannot cross, particularly when they are speaking in a representative capacity,” Jessica Yates, attorney regulation counsel for the Colorado Supreme Court, said in a statement.

Let's all not forget whom stopped the J 6 hearings and said if they got elected they would tackle inflation and they only got a 5 seat majority not a 15 seat majority in the H Speaker McCarthy they can't do what they did with Boehner they only have 220 seats not 241

These kinds of stories deserve their own thread so more people see them. A lot of people don't look in this thread anymore, and the Republicans certainly don't. A separate post might have them more inclined to read and comment/harder for them to ignore.

Right I just try to find a thread that's close and post in it I guess. I do think a lot of forumers have these pinned megathreads on perma ignore and then a lot of others says they don't "see" them so you're probably right.

Remember folks, this is because da Willis is being too "political", not these Noble and courageous and not the least bit partisan hack cultists in the Georgia legislature.

Even his own campaign essentially admitted the 2020 'stolen election' myth was precisely that -a myth:

We aren't getting anything on Docugate or GA or the insurrection and McCarthy just said it's abuse of power but Trump and Desantis are both losing because Trump is MAGA and DeSantis is Romney he is trying to follow in Paul Ryan footsteps after voting for 20 percent tax cuts that Biden called was shamedul in the Veep Debates against Paul Ryan and he enacted it not as Veep but as Speaker.

That's why MT Treasure and Old School likes DeSantis so much he is Paul Ryan and Scott Walker and Ron Johnson type that Afro Americans don't like

I didn't watch the Veep debate because me and family knew Biden would win and we weren't gonna support Paul Ryan whom wanted to put Medicare in a Voucher the right Sean Hannity and Don Jr smeared Barnes, Beasley, Ryan and Joe Kennedy for Ron DeSantis and he is at 47 percent

That's why Trump is Dr Robotnic he is MAGA

Sir Muhammad said DeSantis is okay and he took Blk History out of schools and now FL, NC and AZ are in play because Scott is on the ballot and not Rubio he is vulnerable

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Just a note Docugate isn't a felony the way it was handled but at minimum it was a Misdemeanor that's why Comey didn't charge Hillary he would only get a misdemeanor sentence out of it, but Biden is still under investigation

On the other Hand RS are elevating Trump that's has committed multiple felonies so the comparison is uneven that's why it appears Docugate is a nothing buger Biden won't lose a 303 map to Trump with the level of crimes

Six Oath Keepers convicted in connection with January 6 US Capitol riot

Six people affiliated with the Oath Keepers, a far-right militia, were convicted Monday of various charges related to the January 6, 2021, US Capitol insurrection.

Four of the defendants were found guilty on all of the charges they faced. Defendants Sandra Parker, Laura Steele, Connie Meggs and William Isaacs were accused of entering the Capitol during the riot and attempting to make their way to the Senate chamber before being deterred by pepper spray and police officers in the building. 

Two defendants were convicted of a lesser charge of entering and remaining on restricted grounds but acquitted of the most serious charges alleging the group conspired to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s electoral victory.

The jury remains deadlocked on two counts for those two defendants and will continue to deliberate.

DeSantis taking up for Trump on Stormy Daniels gets better for Biden all the time, he is leading both DeSantis and Trump 50/47 like Obama beat Romney we can get to 376 in a poll that has Biden at 39/55 Approvals


As I said on another thread Biden can't pass a clean Debt Ceiling agree to R demands on spending cuts and hope D's can take back Congress and end the Filibuster on MO, MT, FL and OH  without TX and WVA and reverse the Spending cuts in 24 I am sure if that happens they can give us one more stimulus check, Kasich says Trump invented blamed negative populism not shared Populism thats why Rs are in Trouble in AZ, FL, MT, MO and OH and they supposed to have nailed down just like KY, NC, MS and LA G with R supermajority State Legislatures

Budgets arent enshrined in Constitution they can be broken just like users get to nailed down to 303 and it's a 303/150 map with TX Gone
