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.
18 US Code 2384: If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

[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)
If it’s illegal to call him and idiot, then, I won’t call him an idiot. Hypothetically speaking. From the floor of the House. While wearing a mask. And a dress (a nice, seasonally appropriate camo print).
Oh BULLSHIT! The entire world knows the 2020 election was stolen and a criminally corrupt pervert was installed in the WH. Tucker had the video proving the J6 bs was all a setup. Not a big mystery why Tucker wasn’t allowed to show any more video. Garland is nothing but a pathetic eunuch who like a little puppet follows the commands of the Kenyan and his globalist masters
But why? We need to find the bones of these people. I fear there is a mountain of closets!
Read the comments below the vid. This is what we are up against. I can only be grateful that most are vaxxed and will die early.
I’m sorry, but your comment insults all the real pathetic eunuchs everywhere.
I share your sentiment and everything that you state is true, but FJB and his ilk are winning, chewing bubble gum and kicking ass.
“ The Justice Department will never stop working to defend the democracy to which all Americans are entitled.”
Except that part about free speech.
Free anything.
“ The Justice Department will never stop working to defend the
democracyDemocrazy to which all Americans areentitledenslaved.”Free and honest elections
Safest & most secure elections…./s
Or “the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” (U.S. Constitution, First Amendment)
This was violated with prejudice on January 6th and thereafter by the FBI and DOJ.
And the right of assembly and the RE DRESS of grievances.
Ya, unless they are conservative
Be wise, be measured in your speech. The times they are a-changin’…..
if you’re being told to be quiet, its time to do the opposite.
Exactly.
A quote; Distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful.
F. Nietzsche
in so many areas of life now.. including work scenarios .. is this urge for people to be so punitive.. the life and light and peace has gone out of so many. God help them.
I am a FREE man. God has given me the right to speak as I see fit, not Joe Biden, not Merrick Garland, not Lisa Monaco, not Christopher Wray. They can all pack sand.
I cannot wait for the day after the inauguration when Trump says to Wray, Monaco and Garland, “You have 1 minute to get your family photos off your desk, everything else stays, including your cell phones, YOU’RE FIRED, now GET OUT!”
The worst thing Trump did(n’t do) while in office was use his most famous phrase enough.
“YOU’RE FIRED” needed to echo in every building in DC.
A weak man in power is a dangerous thing.
“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”We are at weak men right now and it needs to start the cycle over now.
A corrupt man is worse.
“Never frighten a little man with a gun.”
– from “The Notebooks of Lazarus Long” by Robert A. Heinlein
Or corner a rat.
You don’t corner a rat…you kill it to be done with it.
Heinlein is a classic
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is a prime example. Not only is he pathetically weak, but he is also a thin-skinned, rabid ideologue.
He needed these convictions for Sedition so he could now prosecute Trump for Sedition, hoping to get a conviction so he can preventing him from running for office.
Even if they started today, it will be years before it goes to trial.
A biased judge and a corrupt Justice department can work wonders!
Along with biased DC juries.
Exactly
Right around mid term.
Aye, you have a keen eye.
“Should I laugh, or cry?” I think that in the annals of future world history you will merely be seen as pathetic.
Should I hold my breath until rioting antifa thugs face the same charges during the President Trump January 2025 inauguration?
We should first ask why the same charges were never levied against the communists that took over the HoR during the Kavanaugh confirmation.
And 2,000 police were injured, most of them far more seriously than the few on Jan 6 during the “mostly peaceful” nationwide revolt of the BLM/Antifa in 2020. Also many thosands of innocent civilians were injured because they happened to be white or Asian and even black if they didn’t like BLM.
Add in billions of dollars in property damage, looting, the takeover of entire sections of cities for months, the attempted murder of officers in a police station set on fire and much, much more in the “summer of love”, and most of those few arrested were charged with misdemeanors pled down from felonies, bailed out with donations from leftists like our own addle-minded VP, or given sweetheart deals resulting little hard time.
But it’s all OK since they were only fighting for trillions in reparations, and CA is leading the way by trying to make multi-millionaires out of everyone who is slightly darker than the average Caucasian.
So much for “justice without fear or favor”, non?
They were egregious crimes that went unpunished but they weren’t directly related to preventing the CONgress from discharging their constitutional duty.
With the exception of the riots in DC May-June, 2020 the Antifa & blm riots were crimes against the public at large. They’re certainly examples of a failed/2 tier justice system & LE apparatus.
The storming of the Capital during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings was exactly the same “crime.” Also unpunished.
Merrick and the two flanking him, at his “announcement”, are truly malicious seditious conspirators; of which have been weighed, measured and found wanting.
Projection ’tis a fine art for criminals. What a web they weave as they deceive.
“(you)… have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting.” is a line in one of my favorite ‘flip-the’script’-theme movies; delivered by the antagonist first, then soon the agonist says “The next time we meet, you will look up at me from the flat of your back.”. After much hardening development, the agonist undergoes an apparent sideline/defeat, and the line is contemptuously revisited on him at his lowest point. But, a dispensation comes in the way of recompense from a ruler for a kindness extended him long ago, and after the agonist subsequently flips-the-script *by his own merit*, the same line is delivered by the agonist to his wanna-be nemesis who is, in fact, looking up at him from the flat of his back.
It’s very satisfying in the end.
IDK where the remark originally comes from.* (looked up @answersdotcom, it’s below)
These nefarious antagonists’ end – who have zero merit collectively – will also be looking up from the flat of their backs… and it will be extremely satisfying.
The archetypal contest; good triumphs over evil. It’s Biblical…
*This phrase appears to have been taken from the Biblical account of King Nebuchadnezzar in Chapter 5 of the book of Daniel:
25 “This is the inscription that was written:
Mene , Mene , Tekel , Parsin [e]
26 “This is what these words mean:
Mene [f] : God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.
27 Tekel [g] : You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.
28 Peres [h] : Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.”
This passage is also the origin of the phrase, “the writing on the wall.”
Thanks Pancho… your comment reminding us of the Biblical nature of where we are & what the outcome will be
is very encouraging.
Because this is part of the movie being made to demoralize Patriotic Americans so we won’t oppose the usurpers. THEATER to TERRORIZE US/us.
A Knight’s Tale is my favorite Heath Ledger movie.
I’m happy to have reminded you of it 😀 I like it very much too.
Of the few of his I’ve seen, I can say it’s my favorite too… and, of Paul Bethany’s as well.
PB usually gets a part that’s such a baddie (ie.The Secret Life of Bees)… so I love him in this one, he gets to be erudite; and bare {:-O
(I hope he’s not a baddie in his life; he’s very good at it)
Watching good movies with themes that uplift is necessary. When Sir Ulrich & company are entering Paris, there is a man speaking to several people… it’s very quick, just a few seconds… he’s saying “cock-a-doodle-do once… I shall not deny him; cock-a-doodle-do twice… I shall not deny Him; cock-a-doodle-do thrice… I deny him.” So after all this time watching this movie, I just not long ago realized he’s teaching the Bible to his little audience (the specific passage was shared here on April 7th, in honor of Easter)… SO GOOD.
The movie is a Gem. So are you, Miya. Blessings.
This makes my blood boil and brings tearto my eyes. This ongoing injustice is so heavy on my heart.
Lord forgive me but I HATE these a holes.
Every day/night I pray for our Father to bring TRUE justice to America.
FJB and all the aholes in DC.
ULTRA MAGA (till the day I die)
You are not alone in your sentiments. I feel the sa.e way.
I have felt extreme sadness all day about this. and then my next emotion is extreme ANGER.
perhaps He has already provided his answer….
Posted something similar before I saw your comment.
Today is National Day of Prayer. We need to be taking every advantage of it.
He left off that the beatings will continue until morale improves.
70+ million Americans say otherwise. This was FIB instigated violence.
The only violence that day was committed AGAINST the peaceful protestors! Police murdered several peaceful protestors! Antifa broke some windows. The so-called “insurrectionists” committed no violence. They were waved into the Capitol and behaved like tourists.
Ray Epps a Pied Piper you say? Nancy’s Magna Opra of politics?
70 + million Americans ? Trump got DOUBLE that amount of LEGIT votes but the machines transferred hundred’s of thousands of votes from Trump to Biden on citizens TV screens all across the nation.
What a tool…To think this guy would’ve been on the US Supreme Court! God help us!!!
If he had been on SCOTUS, Garland would be working on about 100 cases a year. As AG, he gets to mount THOUSANDS of cases per year.
Be careful what you wish for.
You reminded me of this quote from Thomas Jefferson..
“To consider judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions is a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.” – Thomas Jefferson
And so we are. Judges and Justices are human beings like the rest of us and subject to their own failings as we all are. Only they can pretend to be perfect beings, never to be questioned, never to be held accountable for their own errors.
Jefferson seems prophetic because of his in depth study of governments. Truly an amazing person,
Reich Minister Garland will spare no effort to ignore those who actually set the Reichstag afire.
Move over Brown Shirts, Trotsky’s Red Shirts are in town.
Their serious sanctimony as they destroy the rule of law in America is beyond maddening!
I’ve begun to wonder if there’s some obscure reference to “Lawfare” in The Revelation to John, it does sort of feel as if “the walls are closing in.”
Gestapo.
Mitch McConnell did one good thing during his RINO career. He blocked totalitarian Garland from being on the SCOTUS.
Mitch could have blocked Garland from being Attorney General too!
hopefully mitchy boy will get the brunt of a nice big slice of dimocrat dimocracy.
hope he chokes on it.
In return we got Ketanji Brown Jackson. SD called it well before it happened
Only because he needed to toss some red meat to the conservative/libertarian wing of the party and make replacing Scalia an election issue to turn out the vote.
A year sooner and Garland has smooth sailing.
ugh
A sad, sad day in America. Ashamed for those “boys”!
None of the defendants had any weapons at all so this is just more Lawfare against anybody who opposes the Democrats!
How many in the DOJ, FBI and State Department will be convicted under the very same statute?
Plan accordingly.
none, until the people decide to do it themselves.
Golden Earring
So now it is illegal to protest.
The first mandate for the Royal Reign of King Charles III. Seriously. You will NOT see anyone protest Charles for the Coronation. People are the sovereign power in America, not German Mount-Bottom types.
Illegal to protest Democrat policy.
Still OK to loot and pillage when protesting Republican policy.
THAT IS THE SILENT MESSAGE! Protest and goons will be at your door!
I pray hard it is appealed to the SCOTUS.
Lord forgive me but I despise the judge, jury and DOJ/FBI for their miscarriage of Justice. May they reap what they sow.
May all of them fall into the pit they have dug for REAL patriots!
Appeals are very expensive unless the lawyers work pro bono which is very expensive for them.
If we want appeals, we’ll have to pay for them.
I’ll donate. Hopefully GP will start a go fund me account as they have been doing throughout the trials.
We cannot allow a weaponized justice system to get away with this. They could not get a semblance of a fair trial in DC. Prosecutors hid and manipulated evidence. Get an appeal to a somewhat fair judge and jury and it will be overturned.
All of conservative media will have to work together promoting the fund raising.
They should learn from Bernie. You can collect 10s of $$Ms asking for $5 donations. Almost everyone can scrape up $5.
This is all a scam folks . There is no real “Proud Boys ” organization or group. It’s a completely fabricated group just like the Charlottesville “Unite the right” group .
Both are made up and funded by various Soros leftist groups in an attempt to fool the American people into thinking that various right wing groups really are a threat and exist but none of it’s true. The left have known all along that THERE ARE NO REAL RIGHT WING groups so they have recruited their own .
The below are titles of articles about Charlottesville .
Former Clinton Employee: Charlottesville Planned By DNC – More Coming
Charlottesville Was Orchestrated By George Soros
Investigators: Jason Kessler a long time Soros operative Planned Charlottesville Car Attack ‘Weeks Before while working as organizer for ‘Unite the right’ a fictional group.
Charlottesville Was An ‘Inside Job’
Charlottesville Witnesses : Antifa, White Supremacists, BLM ‘Got Off Same Soros rented buses .’
Charlottesville was modeled after the January 1st Bandera marches in Ukraine. Right Sector was there carrying the red and black Blood and Soil flags among others.
You could very well be right , all theater.
Sorry, but what is theatre about folks possibly going to prison for 20 years? Are you saying that these people going to prison are actually left wing radicals and pretending to be right wing activists? I respect your opinion but not buying.
Just the sight of any one of these psychopaths makes me want to puke. They’re the most disgusting, reprobate, evil creatures alive.
These remarks by Garland and his Goons have made me physically nauseous and sick to my stomach.
The disgusting fascists /Bidenstas that are running our once great country have zero respect for American citizens and obviously have stated their intentions to rule us with an iron fist for the duration of their reign of terror.
As Julie Kelly and others have said, the “conviction” of the Proud Boys is a big part of their war against our President Trump.
And it will serve as a lesson to any of the proles who might have any ideas about demonstrating against the Regime.
Terrifying and disgraceful. Now what are we going to do?
“a lesson to any of the proles who might have any ideas about demonstrating against the Regime.
….Now what are we going to do?”
refuse to comply. double in size and righteous rage every time they persecute the last group.
Pray.
Bigger, louder crowds.
How about a class action lawsuit for malicious prosecution of j6 defendants in a venue other than Washington DC. No Republicans or conservatives can get a fair trial in DC.
Another suggestion would be a appeal on the grounds that the disruption of a official proceeding law was never meant to be applied to protests.
Hate keeps you warm.
Red Dawn
As Julie Kelly and others have said, the “conviction” of the Proud Boys is a big part of their war against our President Trump.
She went on to say, she was one hundred and ten percent certain the DOJ (Jack Smith- Special Prosecutor) would indict and convict President Trump, complicating his run for re-election.
“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their DUTY, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
We were given a very grave responsibility, not just for us but future generations.
I thought I was reading about a hung jury. Guess they were gotten to by the powers-that-be. Any chance this is overturned on appeal?
Kangaroo Courts always get their man/woman/selected targets.
Interpretation: “Due to the scope of digital technology, mass formation psychosis, and a government based on power rather than laws, justice will be what the powers that be say it is.”
For the first time ever in my 50+ years, I saw “the whole of government brought to bear” in 2021 … I still have PTSD from seeing DOT digital signs in my midwest city repurposed for hunting down J6ers. It was / is so apocalyptic. It makes me physically ill still.
Garland never says ‘Republic’ it’s always ‘Democracy’….. This is how they steal language and redefine……..
January 23rd 2025, 1:00 P.M. he should be arrested for treason and swiftly tried and given the appropriate sentence for crimes against the State.
Damn who will be nextRight now they are trying to confiscate the land of farmers in South Dakota and who knows what other states that some of us haven’t heard about
South Dakota Battles Carbon Capture Pipelines
Private, for-profit companies are trying to invoke eminent domain so they can install dangerous carbon capture pipelines throughout the Corn Belt. They want to capture carbon dioxide emitted by ethanol plants and transport it through thousands of miles of pipeline to exhausted oil and gas wells in North Dakota, so they can frack the wells and extract more of those commodities

Feelin’ very “3rd monkey”
right now!
Screw the SOB. This a hole practices a New York kind of justice or should I say injustice
Jurisprudence relies on precedent and the Maine Capitol Riot of 1880 lasted for weeks with armed men on both sides. General Chamberlain, of Gettysburg fame, was temporary Gov. as the transfer of power was delayed for WEEKS. Like 6 January, the process continued. Did anyone face a charge of sedition for the Maine Capitol Riot over the Governor’s election? No! Cooler heads prevailed, and this shows Garland not only has no respect for precedent, but also no respect for America’s history of reconciliation in politics. But not now. Trotsky is smiling at Hell’s Gate.
WRONG
What this shows is Garland is a nasty, SOB Communist enforcing the 2020 overthrow of America by Communists, Marxists, and every other color of insanity inspired by Satan.
Well said!
Don’t know if this will go through. The injustice is so thick that it’s hard to see the daylight.
The next j6 will be lit.
For me, the worst part is how many people in this country actually believe these lies! They actually fell for the whole insurrection BS! If there was any violence, it was committed by Anitfa at the direction of the FBI. We all know this was an FBI/Pelosi undercover operation. Several peaceful protestors were murdered by police. I saw the videos. I saw the videos of police shooting tear gas and concussion bombs into a crowd singing the national anthem! They were clearly trying to incite the crowd. They were literally SINGING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM and holding American flags and were attacked by police! How sick is that?
This is ALL a LIE! Garland should be hung by the neck until dead for being a TRAITOR to the Constitution and America. TRAITOR! Made up charges!
As has been noted on Treehouse comments yesterday,
Proverbs is so pertinent:
18 US Code 2384
Isn’t that the one that Joe, B.O., Garland and many others are guilty of?
“Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty.”
~Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Propaganda Minister
And the republican’t party remains silent on the egregious overreach & the unlawful execution of the justice system against the citizens of these United States.
A pox on both of their houses.
SoldiersMom: I advise to rid your mind of the thought that the Republican Party is here to help.
Haven’t entertained that thought in many decades, but thanks for the reminder!
I hope that Trump makes an announcement at some point and says that if he wins the presidency he is going start a commission to look at each and every J6 case and issue pardons in any case where the participant was non-violent. Every American should be outraged at this injustice.
I’ve said it before & may I say it again – I too went to the Jan 6th event & the ONLY thing that makes any sense based on what I witnessed that day – The breach of our Capital building was Simply “ALLOWED” to happen….FYI – NOBODY would have shown up that day ….If the 2020 election had been properly investigated!…….We are still waiting for that to happen!!!! & may I also add – I hope they find the guy who planted the bombs – but – I know they won’t [The FBI will never arrest one of their own!…..Just another FALSE FLAG event]
BUT….BUT…..BUT…. if you are BLM/CIA/FBI committing seditious acts against the US GUBMINT, you is safe.
My CHUCKLE FOR THE DAY
Garland, Wray, Monaco, Biden, hundreds of media talking heads, state SOS’, state governors, and thousands of others, are guilty of 18 USC 2384:
“If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States…”
What’s the penalty if one person does IT?
The Injustice Department.
Look at that photo. Three shameless liars. They know they’re liars, we know they’re liars, they know we know they’re liars. They don’t give a flying…..
WE ARE NOT A FREAKIN DEMOCRACY
WE ARE A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC!!!!
This entire government as it stands right now is totally unconstitutional.
From bidum to garland to the chief of the capitol police.
Time to fire this one en toto.
Don’t like my comment, come see me.
Ugh, so much this. My number one argument for national divorce is that actual democrats should split from actual republicans. Let California and New York turn into mob rule and let those of us wanting a nation to runs as the founders intended be left to do so freely.
Understandable, but abusive partners don’t permit amicable partings, nor escapes.
