Mark Levin: Jan. 6's 'Real Travesty Is the Injustice Taking Place in Our Courts'

On a recent episode of LevinTV on The Blaze network, host Mark Levin sat down to speak with Brandon Straka, the founder of the WalkAway Campaign. This was Straka’s first in-depth interview since he was arrested for his alleged participation in the now notorious Jan. 6 protest at the U.S. Capitol in 2021. After a thirteen-month court battle, including five continuances and a legally-imposed silence, he is finally free to tell his side of the story about what he saw and did that infamous day.

 

Straka begins the interview by freely admitting he was at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. He insists, however, that he didn’t take part in nor did he see any of the violence the radical Left claims he did. “There are four sides to the Capitol Building: north, south, east, and west,” Straka explains. While the violence and destruction occurred “almost exclusively on the west side of the Capitol,” Straka and his small crew were only ever on the east side of the building. They never went inside the doors of the Capitol, and they have the video to prove it.

Nonetheless, three weeks after Jan. 6, Straka was unceremoniously arrested at his home and held without charge, while the MSM smeared him with impunity as an insurrectionist and domestic terrorist.

Straka goes on to tell Levin his side of the story in great detail, and his unedited personal video from that day is also played. Unsurprisingly, Straka appears both flabbergasted and shellshocked over his experience of being viciously targeted and attacked by the radical left.

‘A Political Prisoner of the Democratic Party’

There is one standard of justice for rioters and cops on the side of the Biden Regime, and another for everyone else.

 

Three months after Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed veteran and Trump supporter, was killed by a Capitol police officer on January 6, 2021, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights division closed its investigation into the fatal shooting.

Omitting the name of Lieutenant Michael Byrd—the media, law enforcement officials, and congressional leaders concealed his identity for months—the Justice Department concluded Byrd did not violate 18 U.S.C., section 242, a federal criminal civil rights statute, when he shot Babbitt at point-blank range without warning, barely missing her face, around 2:45 p.m. that day. “The investigation revealed no evidence to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that the officer willfully committed a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 242,” the Justice Department said in an April 2021 statement.

Reports later revealed that Byrd had refused to participate in any substantive probe of his conduct on January 6. Not only did Byrd escape criminal charges or any internal reprimand, he is still employed as head of security for the House of Representatives and heralded as a hero in many quarters, including the national news media. :snip:

BLM privilege & Jan. 6 capitol riot ignominy

 

When prominent young far-left activist Quintez Brown was arrested last week for trying to assassinate a Jewish mayoral candidate in Kentucky, he was portrayed sympathetically by the media and immediately bailed out of jail by his Black Lives Matter comrades, who crowd-funded the $100,000 cost.

Brown, 21, had BLM privilege. A celebrated gun-control advocate, anointed as a rising star by the Obama Foundation, he was an honored guest on Joy Reid’s MSNBC show. He was granted a biweekly opinion column in the Louisville Courier-Journal to spew boilerplate leftist, race-based, anti-cop sentiment.

And according to Andy Ngo, author of “Unmasked,” the definitive Antifa expose, Brown’s social media accounts show a disturbing allegiance to anti-Semitic causes, such as the Lion Of Judah Armed Forces, an armed black nationalist group which is linked to the virulently anti-Semitic Black Hebrew Israelites.

One of the bullets he allegedly fired from a Glock handgun at mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg came so close it grazed the man’s sweater.

Group seeks to make Jan. 6 arrests key to elections

Paul Bedard, Washington Secrets Columnist

February 24, 2022

A group fighting for the release of Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot suspects is urging voters to press candidates on the fairness of the extended jailings of many of those arrested after the pro-Trump protests.

Matt Braynard’s “Look Ahead America” is hoping to create a small citizen-journalist army that will film its questioning of candidates about those held, some for months.

“We encourage all of our fellow Americans to ask candidates for federal office the following question: What are you going to do about the patriots who are being politically persecuted for their participation in the Jan. 6 Capitol Protest?” he said.

He dubbed the effort the “J6 Question Project” and pledged to post the recordings on his website, which lists about 100 suspects who are behind bars.

The Suicide of a January 6 Defendant: ‘They Broke Him’

Matthew Perna did nothing wrong on January 6, 2021.

The Pennsylvania man walked through an open door on the Senate side of the building shortly before 3 p.m. that afternoon. Capitol police, shown in surveillance video, stood by as hundreds of Americans entered the Capitol. Wearing a “Make America Great Again” sweatshirt, Perna, 37, left after about 20 minutes.

Less than two weeks later, Perna was ensnared in what the former top U.S. prosecutor called a “shock and awe” campaign to round up Trump supporters and deter them from demonstrating at Joe Biden’s inauguration on January 20, 2021. After he discovered his image on the FBI’s most wanted list for January 6, Perna immediately contacted his local FBI office and voluntarily submitted to questioning; on January 18, six FBI agents arrested Perna at his home.

 

His life from that point turned into a nightmare. Perna was indicted by a grand jury in February 2021 on four counts including obstruction of an official proceeding and trespassing misdemeanors. Despite his nonviolent participation in the events of that day—he did not assault anyone, carry a weapon, or vandalize property—Biden’s Justice Department and local news media nonetheless made his life pure hell.

Judge dismisses Jan. 6 cases against Giuliani and Don Jr., not Trump

In lawsuits filed by Reps. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) and Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) to hold Donald Trump and allies liable for damages stemming from Jan. 6, a judge has dismissed the cases against two defendants — Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani and former first son Donald Trump Jr. — while allowing most parts of the cases against the former president to proceed

 

D.C. District Court Judge Amit P. Mehta, an Obama appointee, issued the 112-page ruling earlier this month on three Jan. 6 lawsuits involving former President Trump and his allies. In his ruling, Mehta accused Trump supporters of being ready to participate in violent actions on behalf of the former president. 

Trump campaign adviser and former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik  criticized the judge's decision.

"This is just one of many frivolous lawsuits and attacks by the government against the president's personal counsel for having the courage to stand up and fight for his client," Kerik told Just the News.

DOJ Rushes to Obtain Indictment for January 6 Defendant to Cure Illegal Detention Claim

As I reported Monday, a January 6 Defendant arrested December 13, 2022, had not yet been indicted even though the Federal Speedy Trial Act requires the Government to indict someone within 30 days of the date of their arrest. The Defendant, Lucas Denney, had a hearing Monday afternoon on his counsel’s motions filed last week seeking his release and dismissal of the then-pending charges based on a criminal Complaint.

Over the weekend, the magistrate judge in DC ordered Denney to be personally brought before him for Monday’s hearing and for the Government to explain the delay in bringing Denney before the court after he was transported by the U.S. Marshal’s service from Texas, arriving in DC over five weeks ago, on January 31, 2022.

Also, on Sunday, the Chief Judge of the DC District Court, who oversees the magistrate docket, entered a separate order directing the magistrate to produce a report and make a recommendation to her about how to resolve Denney’s emergency motion that his charges must be dismissed under the Speedy Trial Act because he was not indicted within 30 days of his arrest as required by 18 USC 3162. No deadline was set for the report, however, despite the emergency nature of the motion.

The magistrate judge commenced the hearing by apologizing to Denney that he had been “lost” by the system. He expressed frustration and outrage that the Department of Justice did not properly notify the court of Denney’s arrival in DC or properly docket the case’s next procedural step, thereby causing Denney to sit in a jail cell for weeks before being seen by a judge in DC. The judge acknowledged that even an hour of unlawful detention was an affront to our constitutional principles.

The judge confirmed, as I reported Monday, that the next step in Denney’s case was not a second “Initial Appearance” — as preposterously argued by the prosecutors in their briefing papers — but rather should have been a status hearing scheduled promptly after Denney’s arrival in DC for a judge to determine the next steps in his case.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio charged with conspiracy in Jan. 6 Capitol attack

FBI agents arrested Henry "Enrique" Tarrio, former national chairman of extremist group the Proud Boys, in a dawn raid Tuesday in Florida on conspiracy charges in relation to the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Tarrio, who will make his initial court appearance Tuesday, was named in a superseding indictment that includes five previously charged Proud Boys defendants.

The indictment is unusual because Tarrio was not present at the Capitol on Jan. 6. He was arrested two days prior to the insurrection on unrelated charges by Metropolitan D.C. police and was barred by a judge from protesting in the city on Jan. 6.

Tarrio was added as a defendant in an existing conspiracy case against five other members of the Proud Boys who allegedly attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6.

FBI Quietly Drops Charges Against J6 Defendant Who Committed Suicide

January 6 defendant Matthew Perna was looking at some serious jail time for a peaceful walk through the Capitol. Killers have gotten way less severe sentences, like this fine lad, who punched and killed an elderly man who allegedly called him a bad name:

 

Perna didn’t punch an elderly man, causing his death. Nor was he looking at two years of house arrest.

Perna was looking at 51 months in federal prison for entering the Capitol for five to ten minutes, snapping selfies, and chanting “USA” in an apparently seditious way. He also tapped a window with a pole but didn’t break it or anything else. He didn’t hit a cop.

The FBI magnanimously decided to drop their charges against Perna on Wednesday.

Garland says Capitol riot investigation is ‘most urgent’ in DOJ’s history

Jerry Dunleavy, Justice Department Reporter

March 10, 2022

Attorney General Merrick Garland says the Justice Department’s investigation into the Capitol riot is the “most urgent” in DOJ history, more than a year after the U.S. Capitol Building was stormed on Jan. 6, 2021.

The claim by President Joe Biden's chief law enforcement officer comes as Republicans have said the Biden DOJ has not put the same effort into prosecutions tied to the violent riots of 2020 as the storming of the Capitol and have criticized the department for its decision to shutter the China Initiative despite a growing threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party.

"This is the most urgent investigation in the history of the Justice Department. It is the most resource-intensive. We have thrown 70 prosecutors from the District of Columbia and another 70 around the country,” Garland said of the Capitol riot in an NPR interview on Thursday. “Every FBI office, almost every U.S. attorney's office in the country is working on this matter. We've issued thousands of subpoenas, seized and examined thousands of electronic devices, examined terabytes of data, thousands of hours of videos. People are working every day, 24/7, and are fully aware of how important this is.”

Garland added: “This had to do with the interference with the peaceful transfer of power from one administration to another. And it doesn't get more important than that."

Federal Judge Thwarts Checkmate Move of Illegally Detained January 6 Defendant

Last week the case of January 6 defendant Lucas Denney gained considerable attention when the defense sought Mr. Denney’s release because of two Government violations of his pre-trial rights.  Denney had been locked up for more than 80 days without having a Preliminary Hearing (to which he was entitled within 14 days) or being indicted within 30 days of his arrest, as required by the Speedy Trial Act. The defense filed separate motions for these violations.

 

To prevent the court from releasing Denney, the Government rushed through an indictment last Monday only hours before a magistrate judge was to consider the first defense motion. While this maneuver succeeded in keeping Denney locked up, in its hurry the Government charged Denney with only one count of assaulting a federal officer rather than the 12 offenses for which he was originally arrested on a Complaint. Doubtless, the Government intended to later obtain a superseding indictment against Denney that would include all 12 original charges.

Today, however, when Denney was brought before the court to be arraigned on that single charge, he surprised the Government and the court by seeking to plead guilty to it. This was very astute lawyering by Denney’s counsel to take advantage of the Government’s tactical misstep. By pleading to a one-count indictment, Denney obtains a better resolution than the Government would have ever offered him as a plea deal, and the constitutional protection against double jeopardy would prevent the Government from bringing the additional charges against Denney. In the chess match of criminal procedure, it was a checkmate move by the defense.

But the court temporarily halted the move by refusing to let Denney enter a plea, saying that it wanted to research the issue.  Thus, after a bit of drama today, the saga isn’t finished yet.  It will resume on Thursday when Denney is again brought before the court.

Democrats running the Jan. 6 Committee finally admitted the obvious: it’s a show trial all about the midterms.

Tristan Justice

Mar. 19 2022

House Democrats prosecuting political dissidents in the form of the Select Committee on Jan. 6 admitted this week the show trial investigation is all about the November midterms.

On Friday, The Washington Post chronicled the committee’s next steps in a feature headlined “Jan. 6 committee faces a thorny challenge: *Persuading the public to care” as Americans lose enthusiasm for severe retribution against those involved with a constitutionally protected rally 14 months ago, who are the true target of the committee’s work as opposed to perpetrators of the Capitol riot.

One lawmaker, the Post wrote, “added that even some of their Democratic constituents have lost interest in the committee’s work because of more pressing issues, like inflation and the coronavirus pandemic.” Americans are now coping with gas prices eclipsing their record peak and compounded by an inflation rate running at a four-decade high.

The Jan. 6 probe, however, is dominating lawmakers’ priorities, including Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney who is one of two Republicans appointed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to serve on the panel. Cheney, the Post reported, is “spending the majority of her time on the matter, people familiar with her work say,” instead of reclaiming her lost role on the Natural Resources Committee.

He’s Facing 20 Years For January 6 Charges. His Lawyers Say He Just Went To Protest.

Brady Knowlton entered the U.S. Capitol building at 2:35 p.m. on January 6, 2021. Like hundreds of other people that day, he walked the halls of Congress — first the Rotunda, then the lobby, then the Senate chamber gallery.

A 40-year-old law student, Knowlton and a friend gained access to the Capitol through the Upper West Terrace doors. To do so, they and others passed several police officers walking in their opposite direction, according to footage and discovery materials reviewed by The Daily Wire. Knowlton told The Daily Wire that an officer said, “You can go in, as long as you don’t break anything.” He says he watched police shake hands with protestors. He broke nothing, and left after 18 minutes.
