Comrades, today after ordering the slow drums to resound loudly, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland delivered remarks celebrating the conviction of four Americans who were charged with Seditious Conspiracy for their conduct on January 6, 2021. Together with federal enforcer Christopher Wray and Deputy AG Lisa Monaco at his side, AG Merrick Garland warns everyone to stay in obeyance with the dictates and fiats of the regime.
Their arrest, imprisonment and conviction shall serve as a warning to any American citizen who might seek to challenge the authority of Joe Biden, the system of justice he represents, and/or the power of the United States government. The federal punishment and sentences are to be determined at a later date.

[Transcript] Hear ye’ Hear ye’ – Today, the Justice Department secured the conviction of four leaders of the Proud Boys for seditious conspiracy related to the January 6th attack on the Capitol.
In addition, those defendants and a fifth member of the Proud Boys were all convicted of felonies including obstructing Congress’s certification of the 2020 presidential election results and conspiring to prevent Congress and federal officers from discharging their duties.
The evidence presented at trial detailed the extent of the violence at the Capitol on January 6th and the central role these defendants played in setting into motion the unlawful events of that day.
Today’s verdict makes clear that the Justice Department will do everything in its power to defend the American people and American democracy.
Since the January 6th attack, the Justice Department has conducted one of the largest, most complex, and most resource-intensive investigations in our history.
We have worked to analyze massive amounts of physical and digital data. We have recovered devices, decrypted electronic messages, triangulated phones, and pored through tens of thousands of hours of video.
We have also benefited from tens of thousands of tips we received from the public. Following these digital and physical footprints, we were able to identify hundreds of people who, often masked, took part in the unlawful conduct on that day.
I am grateful to the Department’s prosecutors, FBI agents, investigators, analysts, and others who have worked on these cases with extraordinary diligence, skill, integrity, and courage.
Over the past two years, the Department has secured more than 600 convictions for a wide range of criminal conduct on January 6th, as well as in the days and weeks leading up to the attack.
We have secured the convictions of defendants who fought, punched, tackled, and even tased police officers who were defending the Capitol that day; who crushed one officer in a door and dragged another down a flight of stairs; who attacked law enforcement officers with chemical agents that burned their eyes and skin; and who assaulted officers with pipes, poles, and other dangerous or deadly weapons.
We have secured the convictions of defendants who obstructed the certification of a presidential election as well as the subsequent criminal investigation in the events of January 6th.
And now – after three trials – we have secured the convictions of leaders of both the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers for seditious conspiracy – specifically conspiring to oppose by force the lawful transfer of presidential power.
Our work will continue.
At my Senate confirmation hearing just over a month after January 6th, I promised that the Justice Department would do everything in its power to hold accountable those responsible for the heinous attack that sought to disrupt a cornerstone of our democracy: the peaceful transfer of power to a newly elected government.
And as I have said repeatedly, the Department will conduct all of its work in a manner that adheres to the rule of law and honors our obligation to protect the civil rights and civil liberties of everyone in this country.
Today’s verdict is another example of our steadfast commitment to keeping those promises.
The Justice Department will never stop working to defend the democracy to which all Americans are entitled. (link)
Thanks Bill Barr and friends.
“…convictions of defendants who fought, punched, tackled, and even tased police officers who were defending the Capitol that day; who crushed one officer in a door and dragged another down a flight of stairs; who attacked law enforcement officers with chemical agents that burned their eyes and skin; and who assaulted officers with pipes, poles, and other dangerous or deadly weapons.”
Has anyone seen who these ppl are?
Ever wonder if all the J6ers were armed that day our country might not be in the pathetic mess it is in now. Illegal alien invasion, economy in dire straights, foreign countries giving the USA the bird, education system under Marxist direction, journalist being harassed by the govt., FBI/DOJ spying on citizens.
I think that is the reason for the over the top crack down.
We still thought we could actually protest.
Yes
What a crock this is:
And as I have said repeatedly, the Department will conduct all of its work in a manner that adheres to the rule of law and honors our obligation to protect the civil rights and civil liberties of everyone in this country.
It’s the doublespeak that Orwell warned us about. The Dhimmies and groomers use 1984 as a how to book not as a warning against a police state.
What a weasel.
We the people know they were railroaded by the FBI. There were more FBI in the group than members.
THe proud boys are innocent. The FBI is now working AGAINST the American people
grubby little two bit shyster
Trump gon pardon them all, then come after YOU.
and i can hardly wait for them to come after you, spineless bastardo
Using these standards set forth in the law how many Antifa-blm members and those who voiced support for them are guilty of sedition?
Let the appeals begin.
Will that enable a change in venue?
the horrible part is juries hear the evidence.. then duly vote with their emotions, or visuals they have been fed from the media for months prior to any trials…
Juries are selected just like politicians. Fair, impartial, and cognizant of justice doesn’t exist.
But they didn’t hear it. One juror made judgments based on assumptions
J6 Political Prisoner Dominic Pezzola’s Attorney: Evidence Confirms J6 Was An Organized Government Plot — There Is NO EVIDENCE Of Conspiracy By Patriots

You want to actually defend your client?
Nice little career in law you had there…Your license is revoked.
It appears so overwhelming, the corruption so deep and ingrained and probably worse, the acceptance that our country has fallen, that one wonders what can be done short of blood, fire and death…CW2.
We must all get on our knees and pray for deliverance. And then we must get on our feet like our prayers were answered.
If only we had the democracy to which all Americans are entitled. We don’t have that anymore. We never did have a democracy until Jose Dementio was selected by the mob.
Personally I would prefer the Republic.
Here is a question that I have pondered for a long time.
Why are cases involving the United States always in DC. The United States is not DC. It’s 50 states.
Why can’t these cases rotate around to the various Appeals Courts.
Any case in DC is going to have a whack job judge and a jury whose livelihood depends directly or indirectly on the Federal teat.
What would it take to create a rotational set up? Is it legislation….constitutional amendment…..tradition?
Until these Fed cases move out of DC, no defendant has a chance in he11.
Because the alleged crime took place in the District.
Why can’t Soros, the Rothschilds, the corporate executives of Big Pharma, BlackRock, Vanguard, Schwab, etc. be tried by an international tribunal?
“…. a republic, if you can keep it.”
With my apologies to the Beach Boys, Dodge hot rods and the little old ladies from Pasadena who drive them, I would like to say to mr garland
Go, Granny. Go Granny. Go Granny. GO.
Please.
And the sooner the better.
Found in the bin…. 🙁
Merrick Garland is a POS anti-constitutionalist lackey for the administrative- corporate state.
I would appreciate an opinion from a legal expert concerning the definition of “seditious conspiracy”. If that action on J6 is considered to be “seditious conspiracy”, what could be he terms used for “Crossfire Hurricane”, the “Steele Dossier”, the letter signed by 51 “intelligence agents” that defined the hunter’s laptop as Russian disinformation”, and the “Russia Hoax”???
Will The last straw be the 2024 Big Steal? We know they can’t allow President Trump to get in.
I hope the USA honours their great Ancestors and decides to Revolt.
WOLVERINES! Off with their Heads.
FUBAR!!!!
Pelosi’s Folly….she was in charge.
The wickedness is written all over her face
“It’s terrifying to be an American right now; the country may already be lost.”
~ Brad Geyer, an attorney who represents several J6 defendants who’ve been accused of conspiring against the government.
J6 eyewitness attorney Michael Hamilton:
He held a worship service on the front lawn of the Capitol building.
Everywhere he went, there were “deep-hearted patriots..People were singing hymns and with their hands held in the air praising God.”
Then, three 15-passenger white vans arrived, flanked by squad cars that Hamilton said he later confirmed to belong to Antifa, a far-left extremist group, and a different, aggressive energy flooding into the crowd shortly thereafter, trying to work others into a frenzy.
“These new protesters were dressed like Trump supporters, but they were not Trump supporters.They could disguise their appearance, but not their spirits. They were angry. It was time to leave.”
What happened later that day pitted American citizens against the federal government in what has been deemed a partisan weaponization of the Department of Justice (DOJ).
