For the past two weeks several media outlets have been reporting on the lack of DOJ evidence to support the claims of “sedition” and a grand conspiracy around the January 6th DC protests.
Today Politico takes the walk-back reports one step further by warning the leftist ideologues that most of those arrested and/or accused will likely not serve any jail-time and will instead face misdemeanor trespassing violations.
A POLITICO analysis of the Capitol riot-related cases shows that almost a quarter of the more than 230 defendants formally and publicly charged so far face only misdemeanors. Dozens of those arrested are awaiting formal charges, even as new cases are being unsealed nearly every day.
In recent days, judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys have all indicated that they expect few of these “MAGA tourists” to face harsh sentences.
[…] The prospect of dozens of Jan. 6 rioters cutting deals for minor sentences could be hard to explain for the Biden administration, which has characterized the Capitol Hill mob as a uniquely dangerous threat. Before assuming office, Biden said the rioters’ attempt to overturn the election results by force “borders on sedition”; Attorney General Merrick Garland has called the prosecutions his top early priority, describing the storming of Congress as “a heinous attack that sought to disrupt a cornerstone of our democracy, the peaceful transfer of power to a newly elected government.
Justice Department prosecutors sent expectations sky-high in early statements and court filings, describing elaborate plots to murder lawmakers — descriptions prosecutors have tempered as new details emerged. (read more)
If the police wave you in, hold the door open for you and pose for pictures, is that even trespassing?
Even all of Pelosi’s false flag Antifas were invited.
The only Insurrection was when the Gangster Government overthrew the People.
I also saw Capitol guards showing people around, etc. (live stream). Few of those I observed even touched anything. I think a lot of this will encounter considerable difficulty when the trial stage arrives. Federal prosecutors routinely over-charge people, terrorizing them into pleading guilty to lesser offenses of which they ate not guilty. Works like a charm. Frankly, there was no insurrection to foment.
….. but the government is still trying to destroy these peoples’ lives.
As has been noted before, the process is the punishment.
Funny they didn’t do that to the Lawyer caught falsifying/lying to the FISA Court in the coup attempt against Trump….The DOJ and FBI are the real criminals threatening the citizens of the USA.
Not only wave you in, but inside a Public Building. Emphasis on ‘PUBIC.’
How is that even trespassing??
That is like going to court to defend yourself from your wife holding the door open with open arms and a kiss when you get home from work.
They think THAT was an insurection….lol…
Now the Viet Cong knew how to do an insurrection and they never forgot to bring their guns.
Pisser ha ha.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Too funny!
One is an America-hating millionaire baller … the other is an FBI-ANTIFA paid actor.
Nah, that dude was a not Antifa! Funny AF though!!
Why haven’t Republicans organized bail relief for them? Dems, including VP Harris, bailed out Portland rioters. Most of the Jan. 6th people did nothing more wrong than getting carried along by the crowd.
” Journalists” pressured those money raising platforms to close the accounts.
“Why haven’t Republicans organized bail relief for them?”
Because many of those Republicans mouthed the party line that it was a horrendous insurrection
Some because it was an anti-Trump cudgel they found useful, having already been determined to oust him
And others because it was the go-along-t0-get-along narrative they felt comfortable slipping into because go along
So anyone already on the record in that fashion can’t rightly come out now as protestor saviors or bail-out-ers, now, can they?
Your GOP mileage may vary
What nim said. ⬆️. Add to it: The Republicans were happy for the disruption to their session on Jan. 6. It gave them the excuse they desired to turn their backs against the legitimate outcome of the election, and against us. They really believe that we’re going to forgive and forget.
The people in these threads won’t collapse, but I’d wager serious money that the majority of Republican voters will do one of two things: either not vote at all in the next couple of rounds, or go crawling back to the GOPe for lack of a viable alternative. They do not understand the choreography of The Dance – at all.
They do not understand the choreography of The Dance – at all.
Bingo.
We are no longer partisans of the bipartisan farce, we are Apartisans.
That’s good, Maquis!
^What he said,.!^
And that will give the evilcrats the country for century the death and suffering will be unimaginable what must be done is a GOP must be seized and a backbone installed how do we do that we get rid of the jackasses by whatever means we have either by vote or by using the evilcrat methods
Of a thousand cuts AKA accusations bogus charges etc against the spineless Republicans who don’t stand up for the country who don’t honor their oath of office they’re oth to uphold the Constitution
I wish that Trump would give a shout out to Sundance and CTH.
I try to tell people I meet that this is the place to come for accurate news. Everyone needs to text email / text CTH to everyone they know.
I heard a caller call in to Jay Sekulow show blabbing about how great Niki Haley is. Anyone that has followed Sundance knows that is not true.
I admire people like Sundance who have devoted their life to doing something about problems. I feel guilty about my lacks of effort to address corruption in our Canadian govt. Too easy to fall into the trap of being angry but doing nothing.
I’m so proud of the people who post about their calls and letters to elected officials. Simply applying the heat is effective.
Thanks Sundance.

Bull roar. You are not helping at all. Many Republicans are planning on retaking the party from the precinct level on up. If you are not willing to fight, get out of the way.
oh lets be even more clear (I love your facts btw), the so-called republicans aren’t going to touch this because they KNOW many of the protestors were there to insult and humiliate them!
in addition, it’s pretty clear to me, the republicans are in a position to advance MORE secret police spy powers….many of them have HUGE financial stakes in MANY contractor deals that are valued in the BILLIONS of dollars.
they aren’t going to do anything other than frame this entire thing as insurrection so they can “fortify” the elections in the future (democrats will give them these opportunities), AND to step up the domestic terrorism surveillance powers.
ALL OF CONGRESS KNOWS what is going on: The institutions of the CORRUPT STATE, of which they have played a single hand in creating, are no longer supported politically and morally by the people.
these corruptors KNOW this stage 3.
they aren’t idiots. Just corrupt idiots.
immovable object
meets
unstoppable force.
we will win.
it’s invevitable.
Correction God will win, and by his grace we will witness His mighty hand. This nation has fallen and He will destroy it. I believe we must stand back, hunker down, protect our loved ones repent and pray for salvation. Behold His righteousness cometh. Amen
Repent of what? Pray for salvation? I see religion is made of fool of you, I hope you don’t think you’re above correction I say this to you in love that you would more clearly understand God’s word to you and be better protected against the foolishness that’s taking place in denominational religious systems, go to truth time radio for great Bible studies they’re on Facebook YouTube iTunes and they have a .com
your own Bible says salvation in Paul’s epistles has already come it’s called the reconciliation ministry 2 Corinthians 5 read versus 18 and 19. Read Ephesians 1 pay close attention to 13 and 14 there is no thing to repent for, for no work no acts is counted towards salvation the one who did the work is the one you are to place your faith in that’s Christ Jesus salvation is hearing the gospel the death burial Resurrection sin payment salvation.
see 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 these are just a handful of verses out of many hundreds in Paul’s Epistles the apostle Christ chose to send to the gentiles (all Nations) with the dispensation of the grace of God what has been in place for the last 2000 years salvation being offered to individuals well Israel’s promised earthly kingdom and what they would have to endure prophecies signs and wonders has all been put on pause.
There are two different Gospels in the Bible one having to do with the Jew they’re covenant their laws ten commandments and one to the world that’s known as the dispensation of the grace of God the revelation that Christ revealed to Paul the apostle he chose for this special gospel after Israel had become a fallen Nation through their blaspheming of the holy ghost recorded in the book of Acts 7-8-9-10 it’s clear as day. Our instructions for salvation and living in this lifetime are found in Romans through philemon . See Romans 16:25-26
All of the Bible is written down for our learning but not all of it is written to you or about you this is why Paul tells us to rightly divide the word of Truth in 2 Timothy 2:15 and then in chapter 3 he tells us the importance of studying scripture, but without rightly dividing the word of Truth it causes confusion God is not the author of confusion but the devil is this is why you can barely find any place in denominational religion that’s teaching Paul’s gospel and teaching right division as God instructed us to do through the pedophile
..oh my
“God instructed us to do through the apostle Paul’s pen”
This site on Mobile sucks I can edit but it won’t save there is no icon to save the only thing that shows up is this how stupid is that.. there’s a little window under the cog symbol but it’s blank fix your mobile version or get someone who does know what they’re doing…
I’ve edited on mobile easily before. Maybe stop being so judgmental? And, yes, we do need to REPENT and BE SAVED. Your systematic theology is off by about 180 degrees.
Spot on.
You remind me of the endgame in the election challenges. Even IF the state legislatures had de-certified the Biden slates and sent a new certification for the Trump electors, I’m sure the DEMOCRATS would have challenged them and I could definitely see the Senate (which was still controlled by Republicans) concurring, installing Biden in the presidency.
The entire political establishment, both Republicans and Democrats, hated President Trump and was willing to countenance anything to see to it that he wasn’t re-elected. Including turning a blind eye to massive fraud and quashing legitimate election challenges in the courts.
Is lyin ted still calling them domestic terrorists? The Repugnicans went along with the narrative because they want us gone too.
It was appalling to me how quickly and eagerly, prior to any real police report or corroborative evidence that it was even Trump supporters, that Fox, Newsmax, OAN, etc, took the “outrage, decry, disavow stance” on air.
Not only that,, they took every hour, with every host, to utter a fresh outrage and disavowql, sanctimonious cowardly twits they are…
Disgusting.
They’re complicit
Many of them have crowdfunding accounts at GiveSendGo.com, which has refused to cancel their accounts.

Because, uniparty.
Mike Pence thanks you for your condemnation of this horrific ‘insurrection’ and once again is asking for your $$$ to campaign.
Grrrr…
Mike “The Betrayer” Pence can take his donation request and ……..
I wonder if he will really be able to raise any money. Is he truly fundraising?
And as an aside, the RNC has now threatened the up and coming new crop of MAGA candidates with funds cut off if they don’t use WINRED as their EXCLUSIVE donation tool!
Skim and scam, they want their percentage, no matter how they screw you. Remember when SD talked about the coveted list of Trump voters, the previously invisible ones that had never been on a Pubbie list, how the RNC was licking its chops to get it grubby hands on that fresh blood?
Well, they have done it again, especially, IMO, to cripple new MAGA candidates just entering the arena. It’s a double insult. I can’t believe how dense and ghoulish they are, feasting off the political corpse of P. Trump.
The alternative is Anedot, which I believe is run by people of faith, and seeks to maximize the dollars going back to the candidate, instead of the platform. Stark contrast to Winred!
They do other kinds of fundraising, like GiveSendGo. There are several candidates who use both, just a few. I am encouraging more to do so, as I become aware of them.
http://Www.anedot.com
you know why
IMO Ashli Babbitt was set up by pretend to be for Trump Antifa/BLM agitators. She was murdered. Let’s get to the bottom of that. Still no public release of the name of her murderer.
Gateway had some articles about the guy. The security guard’s statement (via lawyer) was he was afraid that Ashli’s backpack contained explosives so it was OK to shoot wildly in her direction.
That is called Soros Dollars – demonRATS never use their own money!!!
So, what about charges against the shooter? The one and ONLY shooter that day who murdered a woman. Ashli Babbitt.
When will he be charged with murder?
Asking for the families.
TwoLaine, I don’t know if you saw Sundance’s post showing the guy who did a frame by frame review of the Video of the “shooting ” of Ashli Babbit, but it seemed conclusive that the entire thing was a staged fraud by actors. No blood spray from a neck (or head) shot? No attempted CPR? No roping off of the crime scene? The guys hauling her off by her ankles? The lady at the end of the video saying “They are all just actors!” No autopsy, no funeral, and no mention of it in any police reports… The list of improbabilities goes on and on. I was initially sucked in by this “JaydenX” video, too and as an Air Force Vet, I heard she was a 14 year Vet as well, but Sundance’s post made it clear that the ONLY thing that is true is that we are all being fed an amazing amount of disinformation.
I have not figured out why this Video was released, but it appears to never have actually happened.
Please tell me if i’m wrong.
Thank you, Air Support, for this ^^^
Not sure if that is what Twolaine intended though….I get it, this was the only shooting…..
it also smells of sh!t…
Hmmmm…
Plus her 14 yrs military position as building security is another head scratcher because she knew the protocol.
Why are you so committed to pushing the hoax staged fraud narrative?
The only thing is does is make you look questionable
The entire “insurrection” was a staged event with crisis actors. The uniparty planned and implemented it that was obvious to anyone who watched the whole thing unfold.
I watched one of the ridiculous “crisis actor” breakdowns. The guy was confusing the coordination between the agent provocateurs (likely Antifa) as stage directions. Ashli Babbitt to all appearances was a dupe led to her death by these people, which was precisely what they hoped for and then exploited. Michael Yon and others have noted the presence of professional agitators, some in body armor (not something seen at Trump rallies), and the use of ‘Hong Kong Tactics’ by what was clearly a cadre of trained agitators.
These crisis actor conspiracy theories are like the Q disinformation. A PsyOp to make MAGA look stupid and discredit themselves. Quit doing what the left wants you to do.
I’ve seen people who question the narrative, put out a call to anyone who knows the woman they are claiming is Ashli Babbitt, and getting no replies.
She’s as mysterious as the alleged Las Vegas shooter.
You must admit that there were many things that didn’t look right following Ashli’s shooting, especially the lack of large quantities of blood, and complete absence of rational attempts for people with medical training to look for a wound, get an airway in, and an I.V. placement.
You are over the target Air Support. Cameras were conveniently in the right place. My first thought, “staged”
Where is the outcry for justice?
Which is worse?
a. They shot a defenseless woman
or
b. They didn’t shoot a defenseless woman–but faked it in order to incite Trump supporters to really riot and therefore justify opening fire on the mob, arresting President Trump, outlawing MAGA and changing the subject from the Election they Stole–and btw plan to keep on stealing forever?
They did the worse one.
I agree. they wanted to incite a riot to justify violent retaliation on Trump supporters leading to arresting Trump.
It happened. Here’s her memorial service. The family is said to be preparing a wrongful death lawsuit against the Capitol police.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/02/exclusive-ashli-babbitts-memorial-held-southern-california-family-friends-honor-loving-passionate-american-patriot/
Patriots who were there saw the blood trail left behind (and it was heavy) as Ashli Babbit was taken by gurney out of the Capitol on the west side and down the sidewalk to the south to a waiting ambulance.
That happened.
Ask me how I know.
QCM ~~
How do you know?
The blood left on the floor seen on camera didn’t appear substantial to me, given where she apparently was shot. One would expect much more blood splashing, and clinical signs of pain, hyperventilation etc. Just my opinion.
It sure looked like staged premeditated murder to me. John Sullivan and his Antifa blm buddies need to be drilled down on hard . They were all witnesses to it and most likely in on it.
So her family held a fake funeral & memorial service ?
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/02/exclusive-ashli-babbitt-laid-rest-pacific-ocean-family-friends/
They hired an attorney to represent them over a fake death and “staged act”?
https://sharylattkisson.com/2021/03/ashli-babbitts-familys-legal-team-releases-statement/
Until someone produces evidence that she’s alive, I am unconvinced by claims she faked her assassination.
“In a time of fear and helplessness, a large portion of the public has been led to believe that Ashli’s death was fake and that I’m an “actor.” These are disgusting claims and are the definition of what we all call, FAKE NEWS! Ashli Babbitt was as real as you could get, she had a raw and powerful energy that was beautiful and is what made her the person she was. Aaron and Kayla are the strongest people I have ever met. They are amazing, genuine, and full of love. They are real people with real stories, so stop the slander and stop the hate. We are all human, bleed red, and live in the greatest country in the world. Ashli Babbitt’s name will be engrained in history, and when all this is said and done, she will receive justice.”
Outside the building on the stretcher without her shirt, she appeared to have a 6 inch wide black belly band with a black tube going up to her right neck area, not the side where the blood came out. The first blood seen came out her nose, and I have a difficult time correlating nose bleeding (epistaxis) with a neck or chest wound. I have seen animals exsanguinate from blunt chest wounds (such as a ruptured arterial vessel), but they always coughed, something I didn’t see here.
When will there by charges filed against the organized crime entities known as DOJ and FBI?
I suggest a Nurenberg 2.0
That took place only after the bloodiest war in the history of mankind.
You mean a couple of unarmed goobers who stole a podium didn’t almost topple the government?
It took the Viet Cong well over 2 decades to topple a government and to think these two goobers almost toppled one in about 5 minutes.
Nancy is afraid of one good slip and fall.
there’s an “Ive fallen and I can’t get up” advert running lately, with a poor old gal at the bottom of the basement stairs with a spilled laundry basket
I keep hoping that someday it’ll be Nancy
[… does that make me a bad person?]
You are being exceptionally kind.
Alas, I doubt that Nancy has touched a laundry basket in decades.
And Democrats assisted both!
He didn’t even steal the podium! The guy photographed carrying it left it in the building, it was found the next day and returned to Nancy’s office. The eBay listing was a hoax.
Jeffrey – when we refute a claim it’s always best to include a link to at least one credible report that supports the refutation.

I wonder if Ted Cruz will have anything to say in light of how he has characterized this event. What is it they say? Silence is violence?
I will be asking my Senator – squishy Scott – the same questions. Friggen coward!
Seems there are a few honest judges that keep asking embarrassing questions … you know, like proof of sedition, conspiracy, arms, organization … seems like it’s hard to prosecute for crimes when all the people were doing was strolling around with most protesting happening outside … the harder those amateur DOJ lawyers try, the more egg they keep finding on their faces.
Disappointed? Never! Russia hoax 4.0 was handed to them today. The Gaetz hoax.They will chew on that for a few days.
Nice picture of the Capital dome with no faces visible!
😉
How many have been sitting in jail for over the last almost 3 months?
Political prisoners.
I really want to hear their stories. The GP has been about the only news source that has followed any of this since the 6th.
Yes, I would like to hear their stories, also.
Currently, a teenaged girl was taken from her home in a pre-dawn raid by FBI!

Oops—my mistake. She is not a teenager; article says a young woman.
Now they’re going to look into Pelosi’s involvement, right ?
waiting here for the murder charges to drop for the ONLY SHOOTER>>THE ONLY VIOLENT LETHAL CRIMINAL ACT COMMITTED IN THE CAPITOL.
No, not waiting.
STOMPING MY FEET AND ASKING ANYONE …UP TO AND INCLUDING SIDNEY POWELL TO GET INVOLVED AND START ASK THE RIGHT DUCKING QUESTIONS!
We have a murderer on the loose.
send out the posse….and collect this killer before he take another life.
God Bless America
Last I read, he had had a hearing (cops on cops) and was exonerated. No name ever released that I know of. His claim was that he was worried about her backpack (which contained clothes).
I heard that everyone knows his name, but won’t release it.
If he was worried about her backpack, why didn’t he take it from her?
That reminds me of the scene in police academy where they are called to get a cat out of a tree.
Did he ever say’Stop, put your hands up?” He took a long time aiming his gun and made sure he could barely be seen. The murderer is most likely David Bailey, big time Trump hater.
They scrubbed his FB page right after the murder.
Oh, you’re going to order around Sidney Powell, are you?? Have you met with her, and PAID HER RETAINER?!?
Do you even have any idea how much work she is still doing IN GA, FOR US, PRO BONO?
Have you sent her any money to support her efforts? Are you paying ANY MONEY FOR ANYTHING, or are you typing here, stomping your enttled little foot, demanding that she come at your beck and call?
Sheesh….You sound like a spoiled Democrat.
Trespassing and maybe some vandalism. EXCEPT Thomas Caldwell et al. There is something very suspicious going on there, perhaps an operation.
John Sullivan need to be convicted for instigating the riot and conspiracy to commit murder. Jacob Chansley needs to be convicted for just being an idiot.
How do you charge anybody with trespassing when we have video of the Capitol Police letting hundreds of ANTIFA and BLM into the Capitol Building through a side entrance!
Attorney General Merrick Garland has called the prosecutions his top early priority, describing the storming of Congress as “a heinous attack that sought to disrupt a cornerstone of our democracy, the peaceful transfer of power to a newly elected government.”
—–
Spoken like a true Stalinist.
I’m pretty sure, they didn’t want all of Aunt Teefas crew,identified.
Once again our DOJ is embarrassed by its own actions.
Who will be held accountable?
so what is the 60 day stand down order to root out extremism in the military for? the initial briefing said it was based on the events of Jan 6th lol
The charges can be dismissed/downgraded now because mission accomplished, to wit:
-demonizing of Trump base & collating with Q.
-Fort Pelosi
-publication & acceptance of a National Threat Assessment that (by proxy) re-invokes the Ghost of McVeigh to lend official credence to actions taken against anyone who rocks the boat, up to & including tactical swarms on the home at oh-dark-thirty (with pre-positioning of favorable network cameras).
Coming soon:
-emotional relief for AOC, who wasn’t in danger of being murdered after all;
-Nancy’s electronic payment to reimburse taxpayers for Fort Pelosi security troops and one-year supply $15 ice cream for all;
-smartphones finally safe: orders canceled for FBI 24-hour surveillance on location of conservatives’ smartphones.
If I am not mistaken that since we pay the TAXES for that property we have a right to be on it. Cannot trespass on it if you own it. The only Trespassers on it are Biden and his cronies who fraudulently stole the election.
Try entering Area 51 or a SAC base.
Last I checked, they were not called “The People’s House” and were not where the PEOPLE’S elected servants gathered to do the PEOPLE’S business. The Capital is.
That should be one of the main talking points for Trump supporters everyday that the election was stolen and we will not forget and plan to rectify in the future. We will do to the demonrats what they did to us. No quarter asked to quarter given!
There are two notable differences between the interchanges of individual humans with other humans, as opposed to chimps with other chimps.
1. Humans converse in articulated speech while chimps do not, and
2. Humans bite each other’s faces off with far less frequency than do chimps.
Boom. Called it back when it originally happened. Apart from the several dozen a-holes who broke windows and assaulted police officers most of the crowd who was just there and wandered into the building after being allowed in by Capitol police did nothing wrong. Misdemeanor trespassing is a stretch for most of them even.
It seems to me they would have to have been informed that they were trespassing, and given the chance to turn around and leave.
Can a farmer have people arrested for picnicking on his land without letting them know they aren’t supposed to be there?
An opened door suggests entry is permissible.
Exactly; entering a public building through an open door and walking past police and security who do not tell you to leave isn’t trespassing. Those who broke windows, forced entry, entered private offices, committed acts of vandalism, and assaulted police officers are another matter entirely. But that is a much smaller subset of people.
Another well planned crisis to deceive the American people. Putting up the fences and calling in the NG was just part of the script, so the media sycophants would have support for their propaganda supporting that these were dangerous Trump led insurgents. And just like the Russia hoax and election fraud when the facts and truth surface to prove otherwise, it becomes a conspiracy theory countered by more deception by the complicit media partners of the left. Then another crisis is created and the serial soap opera in DC continues. Rinse and repeat.
Not every person broke into the building, and those that did look like Antifa types. Doing what they did just isn’t in the DNA of MAGA folks.
So what happens when the videos of Capitol police letting MAGA supporters into the building are shown in court? Hell, there’s a video of a Capitol police office murdering an unarmed Ashli Babbitt while Capitol police are standing right next to her as she crawls throw an opening, and not one of them attempts to impede her.
Allowing people to enter a building and then charging them with trespassing seems like entrapment. I would think a stern “You are not allowed in and if you enter you will be breaking the law” would cause most MAGA folks to turn around. It didn’t look like that happened in some of the videos I saw.
Finding a jury of your peers isn’t going to happen in DC. All trials need to be moved from DC to a new venue and let the false flag operation be exposed for what it is!
Retired Magistrate here: In my opinion, Prosecutors are going to be hard pressed to charge many of the Defendants with criminal trespass because some of the Capitol Police were holding the door open for the rally attendees, people thought it was OK to go in. There was no intent to trespass by the majority of them. Also, in the past Pelosi has encouraged chosen elements of society to go in and disrupt Congress even when it is in session; hasn’t been a problem.
Look at the photos; many of the attendees looked like they were respectfully taking a tour of the Capitol Building. However, what this has accomplished is making conservatives afraid to show up anywhere and demonstrate for the fear of being arrested. If are you BLM or Antifa you are in a protected class; a conservative, not so much.
The Congress and DOJ swamp critters always had to exaggerate the nature of the event in order to justify their cowering and their running away. No one wants to be remembered as running from trespassers. But, retreating from crazed insurgents is another tune.
Hyping the event as an insurrection served both parties’ core ethos. The dems have a reason to claim they’re morally superior and have been victimized, and the RINOS have a reason to stop doing what they said they were going to do (ie send some state slates back for verification). They are what they are. If there had not been the trespassing, the RINOS would have found another way to fall short of expectations.
How does a citizen “trespass” in “the people’s house?”
The article is written in a way to suggest more than 75% of defendants will face MORE THAN just misdemeanors… is that accurate?
As people have said, it’ll be difficult to prove trespassing with an open door and and invitation from security to enter. There will not be many convictions that result from 1/6, serious or not. I suspect less than 15% of those charged will end up with any criminal record as a result, knowing how the justice system works. That being said, convictions for everyone was not really the goal of our corrupt state apparatus. The goals were: to shape a narrative that MAGA is a dangerous, fringe ideology; to discourage MAGA from future protesting by sending a message that lawfare will be waged against you to protect entrenched interests; and to justify previously unacceptable increases in the domestic intelligence and security state to target and destroy the powerful and appealing nationalist populist movement started by 45.
It’s all about first impressions – they (the Left) don’t care that what they report is the truth, as long as they get a narrative that reflects favorably on themselves and unfavorably on their “opposition” out there. They are counting on most people not following up to find out they are liars, or if they do, they can explain it away and tailor it to suit themselves.
We are living in a lie.
How can you be charged with misdemeanor trespassing when the Capitol building is owned by “We the People”????
“Media Preparing for Disappointment”
NO, they’re not. They simply won’t headline cover it if they cover it at all.
The NARRATIVE has already been set via the smarter-than-their-users smart phone headlines. A study showed that 6 out of 10 Americans only read headlines for their news and then pass them along to their moronic friends without even reading the article associated with the headline.
That’s why during the various deep state scandals during the Trump years one could often find buried in a propaganda piece something that totally contradicted the headline!
Smart phones, the perfect narrative creation and propaganda distribution device in our American Idiocracy.
I agree. the point was to set the narrative in the first place, which worked for them.
Just to be clear:
Are these trespassing misdemeanor charges just for being present at the Capitol that day, or only for those who entered the Capitol building in some way or another (like whether you had the door held open for you by Capitol police, were shoved through a window, or broke in, all of which we have seen happened)?
I was there on the Capitol portico. I have video of them filing in like a tour group. I remember thinking, “What in the world is going on here?”
Which is why their prosecutions won’t work. Too much video evidence that they were encouraged into the capitol.
Everything the filthy swamp did by hiding the documents about the Hoaxes was to protect the FBI’s image.
LOL, now the FBI is the biggest joke ever.
Reputation in the gutter. I can’t even take them seriously anymore, not even in serious cases such as bank fraud, child pornography etc. The first thing on my mind is: Is the child abuser a R or a D? If an R he was framed and is innocent. Because that is what’s happening all over the country.
Sad for America that we have no serious law enforcement. Good for bad guys. If they say they are innocent I have to believe them. Because it’s either their word or the FBI’s. I will side with the accused any day until I see absolute proof. No, not FBI’s evidence. REAL proof.
FBI is at Adam Schiff’s level. Zero credibility an absolute disgrace.
FBI= Schiff
FBI and pretty much all agencies: Trash! Garbage, criminal.
I know there are a few exceptions. But Gov workers in general are scum bags.
I’m beginning to lose respect for teachers as well.
What they are doing to the kids all over the country is a horrible disgrace. They don’t care about the kids at all. It’s all about their benefits.
Sure there are many good teachers, but overall, they stink. Rotten garbage.
teachers are the worst. I have family rhar are teachers. Whiny overcoddled crybabies the lot of them.
Faux “Conservative” reporter over at TownHall – Katie Pavlitch spins her story lies……..
” Matt Gaetz is under DOJ investigation”…….
Pavlitch doesn’t know that. She only quotes the NYTs.
Her article should read : “NYTs claims Gaetz is under DOJ investigation”
Fake News on the left; Fake News on the right.
Payback for his going after Liz C. The swamp takes care of its own.
How can they be charged with “trespassing” if videos show the Capitol Police opening gates and doors?
The media wants their pound of flesh as does the establishment. If they can pin the goods on one or two they will run with it, smear the tens of thousands of others as well as DJT, rinse and repeat. Not a surprised. SOP.
And a lot of those charged with “trespassing” will not actually be convicted because they were LET IN by Capitol Security.
The ‘media’ is a BLOODTHIRSTY, (figuratively speaking), lot. They remind me of the old Roman gladiaor crowds. Only attending in the hopes of seeing bloodshed and death! They’re “ghouls” disguised as humans, (NOT figuratively speaking)!
The heavily edited 10 second video, purchased by CNN from ANTIFA for $77K, as well as related stills remains the only evidence shown to date from an event that involved 10,000’s over 2 days and with 1,000’s of hours of video posted on line.
Problem remains that too many people, free and lemming, know the truth for the demo-commies to pull this one off.
This will be tactical retreat, with as much legal damage allowed to be done as possible, but the courts will be allowed to look fair in this case. The new assault via law suits is being spun up .
Trespassing? How can they even make that stick when there is video proof that Pelosi’s SS was freely letting people walk into the Capitol?
The DOJ provided the media with almost 3 months to try to turn a civilized protest of a fraudulent election into a bunch of terrorists who also voted for Trump and enough to put us through yet another unconstitutional impeachment and trial.
When do the Demcommies and the media get blamed for all of this fiasco? There will never be justice for Trump or his million followers, even if they can make trespassing charges stick to a couple of hundred of them. The truth has already been re-written in the minds of most of the people.
The Politico astoundingly writes, “As former president Trump sets about falsely rewriting the history of January 6th . . . ”
I continue to be astounded at the absolute ability of Bolsheviks to “hold frame” when lying to our face. They must be world class poker players and card sharps with their sociopathic ability to confabulate in even the most complex cons.
The staged ‘insurrection’ served its useful purpose.
To borrow and modify a statement from rectal-hole Reid –
“Trump didn’t win, did he?”
Antfia broke in and Maga was invited in. Ultimately you can’t prosecute the actual window breaking rioters without exposing the establishment ‘s role. This is what also scuttled both cases of impeachment theater …at some point Dem crimes come into view. Then the word goes out, ” shut it down” The months long narrative was the goal. Mission accomplished.
Maybe the FIB and unJust Dept realized their nefarious actions were a bridge too far *and* their actions would light the match to kick off CW 2.0. But probably not. They think they’re all powerful, can do whatever they damn well please, and could care less what We the People voted for, think, or want. I fully spit upon the government. Unless and until they repent publicly, there is zero respect. I don’t see how they can recover from the last 4 years of intentional treachery and treason against the Republic and a duly elected a President. The government has gone rogue. We should not cooperate, or comply with an illegitimate government. We should throw them off.
Just sayin.
