The FBI has destroyed an innocent man’s life over January 6

In 2020, it’s estimated that the riots following George Floyd’s death while in police custody caused $1 billion to $2 billion dollars in damages. That number, of course, doesn’t even include the people killed and the long-lasting fallout from destroyed businesses and communities. The FBI made almost no effort to investigate that portion of the damage that took place on or against federal property. However, when a few hundred people walked through the United States Capitol on January 6 (apparently after Capitol police waved them in), the FBI went into hyperdrive. Writing at the New York Post, Miranda Devine has the heartrending tale of how the FBI went all-out to destroy the life of a man who never entered the Capitol.

Devine explains that, before the FBI went full Stasi on 69-year-old Joseph Bolanos, a resident of New York’s Upper West Side, he was “a pillar of his community”:

President of his Upper West Side block association for the past 23 years, he looked out for his neighbors during the pandemic. He dropped off masks and kept extra heaters in his rent-controlled apartment for seniors. He raised morale with a weekly street dance to show his support for essential workers. 

A Red Cross volunteer after the 9/11 attacks, the 69-year-old security consultant once received a police commendation for heroism after saving a woman from being mugged. 

Unmarried, and caring for his 94-year-old mother, he was a well-loved character in the quiet residential area.

Deprogramming of January 6 Defendants Is Underway

 

The entire investigation is an attempt to prosecute people based on their beliefs. Those who purge their views and admit their wrongthink will be given mercy. Those who don’t will pay dearly.

Grandma Charged With 'Parading' at Capitol Riot Told by Attorney to Denounce White Privilege Before Judge Sentenced Her

An Indiana grandmother up on trespassing charges in the Capitol riot case was told by her court-appointed public defender to denounce her “white privilege.” The defense attorney gave her a reading list to reprogram her political views in order to cut a deal for no prison time for trespassing on January 6. She’s the first of the trespassers to be sentenced.

 

This sickening reaction to a woman, Anna Morgan-Lloyd, who walked through the open door of the Capitol Building and did nothing wrong for a five- to ten-minute period of time — except be there — is about as Kafkaesque as it gets in U.S. jurisprudence. It is a scene repeated over and over in the cases against people near, outside, or inside the Capitol Building on January 6.

She could have a good case for appeal, poor legal representation.

GOP Calls Democrats' Bluff on the Capitol Riot

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and her fellow Democrats have sought to weaponize the Capitol riot at every turn, acting as though 1/6 constituted a similar threat as 9/11. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) repeatedly suggested that her life had been in danger. President Joe Biden laughably claimed that the Capitol riot was worse for American democracy than many bombings at the Capitol, four presidential assassinations, Pearl Harbor, and 9/11.

With these hyperventilating assertions, Democrats are posturing as defenders of the peace, defenders of order, defenders of “the temple of democracy” itself. Yet Democrats have a gaping weakness when it comes to defending order, and Republicans are deftly moving to expose it.

Last Thursday, Reps. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), Rodney Davis (R-Ill.), Tony Gonzales (R-Texas), David Joyce (R-Ohio), Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.), and Van Taylor (R-Texas) introduced legislation to investigate the involvement of antifa in the nationwide riots of 2020.

January 6: The Process Is the Punishment

Love him or hate him, one singular accomplishment of President Donald John Trump was to expose the lengths the entrenched power structure would go to maintain that power. His successes and popularity despite continued obstruction forced the leftists’ hand. After two unsuccessful attempts to impeach, convict, and remove him, the Democrats were forced to “fortify” the 2020 elections.

 

Although they mewl constantly about “democracy,” when the vox populi resisted their gaslighting and protested the blatant disregard of their votes, that same entrenched power of the Federal government slapped them down…and hard. That brings us to the subject of this missive.

My Red State colleague Leslie McAdoo Gordon has a stellar piece out today about the disparate treatment of many, if not most of the protestors who attended President Trump’s rally on January 6th. She writes:

Observers have recently commented that the January 6 criminal cases are being treated differently from other cases, often, referring to criminal cases arising from Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests and/or Antifa riots. The difficulty in making that comparison is that those cases are often not similar to the January 6 cases in ways that the law considers relevant to the question of equal treatment.

However, the claim of unequal treatment is, in fact, legitimate. A comparison of the January 6 cases to other federal cases involving the same kind of conduct demonstrates that the January 6 cases are being treated significantly more harshly by DOJ and the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office.
