It is this writers opinion the DOJ has no plan to succeed with guilty convictions in prosecuting defendants connected to the January 6th DC protest. The process is the punishment. We see this pattern with many of the activities associated with the Lawfare group inside the DOJ. Using a weaponized justice system for political value is the essence of Lawfare.
As a consequence, the politically weaponized DOJ is engaged in a public narrative building campaign intended to create political value only. Prosecutor Michael Sherwin appearing on 60 minutes in combination with DOJ officials giving statements to the New York Times is exactly the same historic pattern used by Main Justice in their political attacks against President Trump and his campaign.
AG Merrick Garland takes-over exactly where Loretta Lynch, Sally Yates, Eric Holder and DAG Rod Rosenstein left off. However, this time a federal judge is warning the DOJ the actions of the justice department are compromising their case, and he will take action against the department’s lawyers if this continues.
WASHINGTON – U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta said during a court hearing conducted by phone and Zoom he was “surprised” to see Michael Sherwin, the former acting U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, and other officials discussing the pending investigation into the insurrection in interviews with the New York Times and CBS’s 60 Minutes.
“I was surprised — and I’m being restrained in my use of terminology — surprised, to say the least, to see Mr. Sherwin sitting for an interview about a pending case in an ongoing criminal investigation. Whether his interview violated Justice Department policy is really not for me to say, but it is something I hope the Department of Justice is looking into,” the judge said. “As for the New York Times story, I found it troubling that sources within the Department of Justice were detailing the possibility of additional charges in a pending criminal case in an ongoing criminal investigation. I have little doubt that anonymously divulging internal department deliberations is contrary to department policy.”
[…] “No matter how much press attention this matter gets, let me be clear that these defendants are entitled to a fair trial, not one that is conducted in the media,” Mehta said. “They are also entitled to defend against charges that are actually brought against them, not speculation about what might or might not be coming. … The fact is, these types of statements in the media have the potential of affecting the jury pool and the rights of these defendants, and the government, quite frankly, in my view, should know better.” (read more)
I saw a snippet of the interview of DOJ hack Sherwin on TV from a distance in a public place and thought, wait, Michael “Messiah” Avennati has been rehabilitated??? Unfortunately, this guy is worse than him.
And speaking of Avenatti and his friends; has any reporter followed up on the Julie Swetnick false witness (against Justice Kavanaugh) case from 2018?? Even no follow up of Sen. Grassley’s 2019 letter to DOJ on the status of her indictment.
What is the status of her indictment? It seems like a new-hire DOJ lawyer from the worst Ivy League law school could have finished a trial of her in 2 days tops as her case was a ‘gimme’.
Or did she have sex with the pertinent DOJ staff and got off??? Her trail has gone cold.
(and has anyone videotaped or recorded DOCTOR Christine Blasey-Ford in public to see if she still talks like a scared teenager or uses hairspray??? Is she still teaching at that woke Palo Alto University??)
Also, The Vice Resident, Kamala “Hyena” Harris suborned perjury with Swetnick. Can a citizen bring charges?
Yes. 3 ways:
What happened to the creepy porn shyster ?
What about Weinstein ?
The mega DNC donor in LA who killed black gay men via drugs ? Just to name a few case the Department of Injustice has left alone.
Yep “should” know better.. my money is on the “ don’t care” because we be the Justus department and we do as we wish as the laws of the land do not apply to us.. Welcome to thr communist agenda
“No matter how much press attention this matter gets, let me be clear that these defendants are entitled to a fair trial, not one that is conducted in the media,” Mehta said.
Meh. Until you actually DO something to stop the abuse, it is all just word salad signifying nothing.
Nothing will happen. We live in a Police State now.
Karma is a beeacth. It truly is…
The border is biting the commies. The election fraud is slowly, oh ever so slowly (too slow), being looked into. Albeit to late to find the evidence I’m sure, it’s been destroyed. The blatant racism and bigoted one-sided narratives by the MSM are being called out- even on Twitter now. Now this.
Does it mean anything will happen….no. Not at all. But, a pot can only heat up so much before it boils over. I think many are waking up today going- wait, for four years no shootings, no Muslim related terror attacks…but not even 6 months into Biden….two shootings in a week and a half. One they tried to paint as racist when it wasn’t- it was due to a mental illness called sex addiction. While the other one was a Muslim terror attack that was initially painted as a white supremacist by the media. Unfortunately for the MSM we are hip to the game and captured his social media. And, poof just like that it was found out he was a Syrian Muslim who hated Trump and the U.S. The icing on the cake- the FIB had to admit they knew him and were tracking him but did nothing- just like the 6-9 previous times they had to admit that as well (SD did a good job listing them in another article).
Their house of cards is starting to crumble. We need to keep the pressure on and showing the rest of the country what is really happening. I have a few Democrat friends and family (not socialists, just non-thinkers regardless of their intellect) who for the past two weeks seem to be in a state of total confusion- dumbfounded at what they still haven’t admitted yet- THEY WERE DUPED.
Do not fear evidence destruction: they do not want you to know but under conditions where evidence is destroyed legal process can reverse burden of proof on criminals.
Its called despoliation.
Worth looking into.
Too late, The Coup is Done, Completed. So are these awakening democrat votes going to stand up to the FIB??? Even Patriot Vets aren’t doing that!!! So stick a fork in the former USA.
Now if some people some where want to survive the coming social, financial, political collapse that’s a discussion worth having.
Voting is Over!!! But by all means get those balloons and crepe paper out for 2022 sElections.
The penalty for obstructing an official proceeding is 20 years? What were those jokers doing with the Kavanaugh hearings? Sedition? Give me a break. These people were in no position to conduct acts of sedition. After all the government organized and coordinated downright illegal fraud perpetrated on the ex parte FISA court and all the 100’s of people’s communications illegally intercepted (via the 3 hop rule with those fraudulent FSIA warrants), now that was sedition, because it was acts conducted under the color of law by people in actual positions of power to act to undermine the Presidency, and it did. The cognitive bias evidenced in this DOJ ‘discretion’ to prosecute is TDS on full display. I dare say the left (or the swamp guards and the enablers) are a deranged cult.
The Gangster Government commits sedition against the People and their Constitution–and then charges those who noticed with sedition. This all seems very familiar…
…Ah!
The process is the punishment.
Been that way for a long time hasn’t it. Extremism in IC really ramped up with the Patriot Act.
The patriot act and project bioshield were passed partially due to a domestic terrorist, a scientist that worked at Ft. Detrick.
-The Mirage Man: Bruce Ivins, the Anthrax Attacks, and America’s Rush to War (7:14)
“the 3rd major policy consequence that flowed from the anthrax letter attacks was something called Project Bioshield.”

Sherwin was the US Attorney in Washington DC who Rand Paul went see after he and his family were assaulted by BLM and ANTIFA mobs leaving the Republican Convention along with dozens of Congressional and White House staff. Sherwin absolutely refused to prosecute or even investigate anything to do with Black Lives Matter or ANTIFA!!! How freaking corrupt is Sherwin!!!
Speaking of Antifa/BLM: 18 U.S.C. 2385 provides:
“Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government; or
Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or
Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof—
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.
If two or more persons conspire to commit any offense named in this section, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.
As used in this section, the terms “organizes” and “organize”, with respect to any society, group, or assembly of persons, include the recruiting of new members, the forming of new units, and the regrouping or expansion of existing clubs, classes, and other units of such society, group, or assembly of persons.”
So when do we prosecute the 1619 Project for its advocacy?
They cannot convict people of sedition who weren’t armed. It all comes down to the intent. And how do you establish intent? Who would believe that a bunch of white, “violent Trump supporters” decided to overthrow the government with no guns? What is this, a joke?
That’s why the goal is to intimidate and financially ruin these people.
I believe that is the entire reason for pursueing this. They know us working class stiffs can’t afford to fight it in court. We’ve all become “keyboard warriors” because of it. And even our words are being canceled at every opportunity. No recourse no outlet no justice no peace.
There is an added bigger issue at play here:
Sedition requires a legitimate and lawful government be in place and since the government was AT THE TIME engaged in UNLWFUL conduct it can be neither legitimate (government function) nor lawful conduct.
I do not need any “approval” from media to see that it was exactly the case: joint session was engaged in a criminal conspiracy to hold a vote to commit the treasonous denial of Trump to benefit from the result of an election victory.
Fact.
Undetermined: what we will do about the treason!… and how soon?
Addition: My analysis shows that the military “sees” this same situation to a “pretty much so” degree. How can you know that this is the case:
These (and many more) are not resolvable with the assumption that joey is in full control of the military.
So since he IS NOT IN CONTROL, what is the actual status and defense posture of the U.S.??!!
This “situation” is unstable and cannot last much longer.
Excellent! Great organization of ideas, clear and concise.
Yes, not sustainable ??
AL Walker, they are very good at intimidation and ruination.
Pattern and practice
Where has this judge been all these years?
Fines ? C’mon judge bad DAs need to be dragged off to cells for at least the weekend if not 10-20 yrs.
They do know better but it’s for purpose and intent.
Now a judge publicly represents the law! I call BS…
Sorry fat finger flagged comments
A serious federal judge would have dismissed the charges against all of the defendants instead of being a cry baby whiner!
U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta did not commit suicide.
Looks like ‘Bull’ from ‘Nightcourt’
I can not imagine our country surviving four years of this… .
Injustice has become institutionalized
Until he actually does anything it is simply preening and posturing.
” The process is the punishment ”
Exactly
“[H]e was ‘surprised’ to see Michael Sherwin, the former acting U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, and other officials discussing the pending investigation into the insurrection…”
Note the trigger word “insurrection” being used to shape the battlefield, as in “The Immanent Civil War.”
They are laying the groundwork for the next Big Thing, AKA The Great Reset.
Judge Amit Mehta’s warning is clear, persuasive and uncompromising. This rebuke of the devious and corrupt political antics of the DOJ is a refreshing change coming from the Judiciary in 2021.
In my biased opinion, the Judge is courageously demonstrating what the Founders envisioned as the primary role of the Judicial branch at a time when other judges have folded under the pressure from the Biden admin. including the disappointing Supreme Court.
The process is the punishment. Enough said.
Narrative building goals
1) Justify gun confiscation, remove any chance of organized rebellion to globalism.
2) Label traditional americans, conservatives as radicals
3) Force conservatives out of the public square
4) Ridicule federalism, nationalism, MAGA
5) Complete government control
A judge scolded the prosecution in the AQ anthrax hoax.
Fake news held up Steven Hatfill as a mass murderer for 5 years.
–When Comey and Mueller Bungled the Anthrax Case
“…a California judge …called the prosecution’s dog handler “as biased as any witness that this court has ever seen.”
“In 2008, …the Justice Department had formally exonerated Hatfill – and paid him $5.82 million in a legal settlement… ”
“When reporters did ask [Mueller] about it, Mueller was graceless. “I do not apologize for any aspect of the investigation,” he said, adding that it would be erroneous “to say there were mistakes.”

We are the laughing stock of the world. Dementia Joe, Super Nasty Kamala, in our White House. Pure clownery and still suffering from TDS. Open the borders, shut down the pipeline, send billions to the Paris accord, expunge conservative thinkers from our military, bail out blue states, wear two masks- maybe three! How long do we put up with this clownery? Were being laughed at by the whole world. How can this happen in the USA ??
The extent the DOJ and FBI are taking to influence cases, withhold and alter evidence, dramatize arrests for media exposure, lie to Courts is amazing.
More amazing is when found, those who partake in these actions are not held accountable.
