Doubtful, because BLM would also have been mentioned.

This is true.

I'm sorry, what the hell did I just read?!? The SS was giving security updates to the Oathkeepers?!?!?

This is beyond f***** up and smells like a God damn coup in the making, chapter 3,974.

Makes you wonder if this (at least one of the reasons) is why the Secret Service suddenly started deleting information from phones. What other embarrassing evidence is there (would have been found) ?

Sen. Lindsey Graham asks the Supreme Court to block a subpoena from an Atlanta grand jury investigating 2020 election interference.

... The emergency request was filed with Justice Clarence Thomas, who oversees the 11th Circuit. Thomas is likely to refer the matter to the full court.

https://us.cnn.com/2022/10/21/politics/lindsey-graham-supreme-court-appeal/index.html

Is there any doubt that Clarence Thomas is going to make an issue of this, and bring this to the full court?

Clarence Thomas was ‘key’ to a plan to delay certification of 2020 election, Trump lawyers said in emails

A lawyer for former President Donald Trump described Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as “key” to Trump’s plan to delay Congress’ certification of President Joe Biden’s victory through litigation after the 2020 election, according to emails recently turned over to the House select committee investigating January 6.

“We want to frame things so that Thomas could be the one to issue” a temporary order putting Georgia’s results in doubt, Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro wrote in a December 31, 2020, email, adding that a favorable order from Thomas was their “only chance” to hold up Congress from counting electoral votes for Biden from Georgia.

John Eastman, another attorney for Trump, responded to that email saying he agreed with the plan. In the email exchanges with several other lawyers working on Trump’s legal team, they were discussing filing a lawsuit that they hoped would result in an order that “TENTATIVELY” held that Biden electoral votes from Georgia were not valid because of election fraud.

Having a case pending in front of the Supreme Court, Chesebro wrote, would be enough to prevent the Senate from counting Biden’s electors.

I would not doubt if there were some secret discussions between trump's lawyers and Ginni Thomas (a trump cultist and conspiracy wacko), to relay their desire/plans in delaying certification, to Clearance Thomas.

Can't wait for the Jan 6 committee to be disbanded. Maybe we get a Hunter Biden one as a replacement?

This upsets me greatly.
It is a ceremony not only honoring specific members but all of them, and they go and act like a bunch of a$$holes.
I mean honestly ... if they have some kind of grievance/problem with anyone there, they need to express that elsewhere and not during the ceremony. Actually, they are adults ... For those that knew (in advance) that they could not control themselves, they should have not gone and excused themselves from attendance.

This article  (https://www.newsweek.com/former-jan-6-officer-mocked-dc-police-medal-ceremony-disgrace-1765139)  says:

Fanone's old co-workers also called him a disgrace and criticized him because he "was not a cop anymore."      ....they said he didn't belong at the ceremony.

Do these officers also believe that military personnel that are injured physically and/or mentally in war theaters, unworthy of being honored (because they are no longer in the service)?


In this MSNBC tv commentary video, one of the guest speakers says the police chief should order an internal affairs investigation on who was saying these things and why. And in my opinion, they should face disciplinary actions for their idiotic behavior.

Capitol rioter breaks down crying in court — gets hit with 68-month prison sentence.

A Marine Corps veteran who participated in the January 6 insurrection just received 68 months in prison — the longest sentence of anyone involved in the attack to date — shortly after giving a tearful speech to the judge trying to beg for leniency, according to POLITICO on Wednesday.

I'm no sure exactly what you are trying to say.
But in any case, update this in a new post of yours, regarding what Tucker found/said.

Arrest warrant issued for Jan. 6 defendant who has gone missing with trial set to begin.

The FBI is searching for a Florida woman who did not show up to court in Washington, DC, on Monday, when she was set to go to trial on federal charges related to the January 6, 2021, US Capitol riot.

According to a warrant issued for her arrest, court officials have not been able to locate defendant Olivia Pollock since late February. The government’s search for Pollock was largely kept under wraps until she did not show up for her trial.

https://us.cnn.com/2023/03/06/politics/olivia-pollock-january-6-missing/index.html

If she is still in the country, I have a feeling they will find her. It may take a while, but it's hard nowadays to hide indefinitely.

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.

An Ex-FBI agent who feds say urged Jan. 6 rioters to kill police, worked terrorism task force.

An ex-FBI official who allegedly urged rioters to "kill" officers during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was previously the supervisory special agent in charge of Homegrown Violent Extremism for the FBI New York Field Office's Joint Terrorism Task Force, a senior law enforcement official told NBC News.

Jared Wise was arrested in Oregon this week ...

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/ex-fbi-agent-feds-say-urged-jan-6-rioters-kill-police-worked-terrorism-rcna82775

How does someone like this go from a special agent in charge of, and working against "homegrown violent extremism" in our nation, to the urging for murder of police officers by screaming “Kill ’em! Kill ’em! Kill ’em!” to trump supporting cultists, during the Jan 6th Insurrection?

I just don't see how this person passed the necessary (psychological) tests, to be in such a special department of the agency. There should have been something there (even in the past) that I would think would have been "detected."

Man who rested feet on Pelosi office desk on Jan. 6 sentenced to over four years in prison.

... Richard Barnett, also known as “Bigo,” was convicted by a jury in January of eight charges, including civil disorder. He faced up to 20 years in prison for the top charge of obstructing an official proceeding.

“For better or for worse, you’ve become one of the faces of January 6, and I think you’ve enjoyed that,” District Judge Christopher Cooper said during sentencing.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/24/politics/richard-barnett-pelosi-office-sentencing/index.html

HaHa.
What a fool.

He also testified during the trail that "he was pushed into the Capitol during the riot and was looking for a place to use the restroom inside the building, admiring all the artwork along the way."

So I guess, someone also "pushed him" into Pelosi's seat, while his left leg flew-up into the air and onto her desk, at the exact moment his infamous picture was taken.
Is that what he is trying to say?

Jessica Watkins: Oath Keepers member and Army veteran sentenced to 8.5 years in prison for January 6.

Jessica Watkins, an Army veteran and member of the far-right Oath Keepers, was sentenced Friday to 8.5 years in prison for participating in a plot to disrupt the certification of the 2020 presidential election culminating in the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.

Judge Amit Mehta said ...
“Your role that day was more aggressive, more assaultive, more purposeful than perhaps others’. And you led others to fulfill your purposes,” Mehta said. “And there was not in the immediate aftermath any sense of shame or contrition, just the opposite. Your comments were celebratory and lacked a real sense of the gravity of that day and your role in it.”

People need to watch the videos attached to this article (link within the Tweet).
It's just pathetic that Americans would do this. For them to just some how miraculously claim to be electors, the true and valid electors, and expect their state legislature to allow them onto the floor of their chambers like their chosen by God to be there.

And then you have 5 or 6 actual members of their legislature (Republicans of course) trying to escort these Nazis, and get them past state police, inside their capitol building.
When this is all said and done, I hope that Orange Pig ends-up in jail for all this turmoil he created in our nation and communities.

'Idiot' Jan. 6 rioter who stole John Lewis photo from Nancy Pelosi's office gets 4 years.

... Howell (the judge) said it was absurd that Lyons (the criminal "idiot") joined the mob in heckling officers — calling them “f---ing Nazi bastards!” and “SS!” — given that the attack on the U.S. Capitol was "about the most fascistic" thing she'd seen.

"It was the mob that was more like the Nazis and the fascists that day," Howell said, saying it was "bizarrely ironic" for Lyons to refer to officers as Nazis "when the shoe is on the other foot."

Rioter who stole badge, radio from beaten officer on Jan. 6 gets more than 4 years in prison.

A New York man who stole a badge and radio from a police officer brutally beaten by other rioters during the attack on the U.S. Capitol was sentenced on Friday to more than four years in prison.

Thomas Sibick, of Buffalo, pleaded guilty in March for his role in the attack on Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone, who has described fighting for his life to defend the Capitol as lawmakers inside fled from the angry mob on Jan. 6, 2021.
