Federal Judge Slams Biden’s Corrupt DOJ For Having Two Standards in Prosecuting Jan. 6 Defendants vs Left-Wing Rioters

A federal judge on Wednesday slammed Biden’s corrupt Justice Department for having two standards in prosecuting January 6 defendants vs. left-wing rioters.

US District Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee on Wednesday ignored the recommendation from federal prosecutors and sentenced a Texas florist to pay a $5,000 fine and serve two months probation for entering the Capitol on January 6.

Jenny Cudd entered the US Capitol on January 6 and Biden’s rabid DOJ asked the judge to sentence her to 75 days in jail, one year of supervised release and 60 hours of community service, WUSA reported.

Cudd’s lawyer, Marina Medvin, argued her client was being recommended jail time for a non-violent offense because of her political views.

 

And Judge McFadden agreed.

Judge McFadden blasted the DOJ’s prosecutors and said their recommended sentencing of Cudd was “disproportionate” to other left-wing protestors during Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court hearings.

“It does feel like the government had had two different standards here, and I can’t abide by that,” McFadden said, according to WUSA.

Belarus Gives Refugee Status to Pro-Trump Patriot Under FBI Investigation in Overreaching Jan. 6 Probe

48-year-old former California resident Evan Neumann is finding safe haven in Belarus after being persecuted for his participation in the infamous Jan. 6, 2020 rally where some individuals entered the U.S. Capitol.

The FBI is hunting Neumann as part of their heinously unconstitutional probe into the 1st Amendment-protected activities of the Jan. 6 protesters. Belarus has granted Neumann refugee status after he was forced to flee the repression of the authoritarian and rogue U.S. federal government under delegitimized figurehead Joe Biden and his far-left commissars.

I wasn’t even there on J6 and they’re subpoenaing me to DC. How much tax payer $ and time will be wasted on that to hear my attorney plead the 5th for me? I would say at least 100k$ in taxpayer money to get nothing from a guy that wasn’t even there is seriously dumb

 

I can't say this is accurate/real, as I don't know this person, But it would not surprise me if it happened. If I were a Democrat politician I'd be a bit concerned.  Turnabout is fair play.

 

BTW My comment he was replying to.

How much money has my government spent on this trial to get (basically) a trespassing verdict? I mean to listen to some politicians and their PR flacks (Corporate Media) you'd think Jan. 6 was the storming of The Winter Palace!

Lawsuit seeks to block 'insurrectionist' Marjorie Taylor Greene from reelection bid

Jan Wolfe

Mar. 24 2022

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A group of Georgia voters on Thursday asked state officials to block Republican U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene from running for reelection, alleging she is unfit for office because of her support of rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol.

In a legal challenge filed with the Georgia Secretary of State, the voters claim Greene has violated a provision of the U.S. Constitution known as the "Insurrectionist Disqualification Clause."

The clause, passed after the 19th Century U.S. Civil War, prohibits politicians from running for Congress if they have engaged in "insurrection or rebellion" against the United States, or "given aid or comfort" to the nation's enemies.

Feds Accused of ‘Double Standard’ in Jan. 6 Prosecutions

U.S. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden accuses the government of having a double standard when it came to punishing mass protests. He criticized U.S. prosecutors for seeking serious jail time for some nonviolent Donald Trump supporters in the Jan. 6 Capitol breach, while demonstrators during the hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh got off more lightly, reports the Washington Post. McFadden spoke out in sentencing a Capitol riot defendant who pleaded guilty to misdemeanor trespassing, arguing that the same prosecutors requesting a sentence of 75 days in jail and one year probation in that case had in 2019 sought 10 days behind bars for a protester during the Kavanaugh hearings.

The Walls Are Closing In part 48

Revealed: Trump used White House phone for call on January 6 that was not on official log

(Snip)

It also appears to mark perhaps the most serious violation of the Presidential Records Act – the statute that mandates preservation of White House records pertaining to a president’s official duties – by the Trump White House concerning January 6 records to date.

A spokesperson for Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Trump called Lee at 2.26pm on January 6 through the official 202-395-0000 White House number, according to call detail records reviewed by the Guardian and confirmation by the two sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.

More Scandals Envelop the Scandalous FBI

“You’re in big f%#%@#$ trouble.”

So said an FBI agent to Julian Khater, one of two men accused of assaulting Capitol police officers with pepper spray on January 6, during a tense interrogation last year. Desperate to sustain the falsehood that Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was killed by Trump supporters during the Capitol protest, the FBI claimed to possess video footage that showed Khater and his friend, George Tanios, attacking Sicknick and other officers with chemical spray. Khater was arrested on an airplane at the Newark airport on March 14, 2021 after he arrived home from a trip to Florida.

For more than two hours—shackled to a metal bar in a freezing room at the New Jersey FBI field office—Khater, who has no criminal record, was interrogated without a lawyer present. FBI Special Agent Riley Palmertree refused to tell Khater why he was under arrest until he agreed to proceed without counsel in the room, which Khater reluctantly did. Recently released video confirms Khater initially told the agents he “would feel more comfortable if I had a lawyer” answering questions on his behalf. An hour later, Khater again said he wanted his lawyer.

 

But Palmertree pushed back, presenting videos and photos implicating Khater in the alleged assault. Palmertree assured Khater that by admitting he sprayed Sicknick with pepper spray rather than a can of bear spray—an item Palmertree later testified was not used that day—a judge would go easy on him. Khater signed a statement confessing that he attacked officers with pepper spray.

Khater has been in jail ever since, housed in the D.C. gulag specifically used to detain January 6 protesters; his trial is scheduled for June 6.

FBI has names of hundreds more Jan. 6 rioters. DOJ needs more lawyers to prosecute them.

WASHINGTON — Aided by citizen sleuths who keep identifying Jan. 6 rioters, the Justice Department is finding that it has more cases than lawyers to prosecute them.

Fifteen months after a mob stormed the Capitol in support of then-President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, more than 775 defendants have been arrested. More than 225 have pleaded guilty so far, and two have been convicted at trial: one by a jury and one by a judge. More than 50 have been sentenced to prison.

 

That leaves more than 500 active cases that still need to be resolved, either by plea deal or trial.

The Justice Department is asking Congress for additional funds to prosecute those cases — a list that keeps growing.

And even as the Justice Department closes in on the 800 arrest mark, there's still an incredibly long road ahead. Multiple online sleuths in a network of “Sedition Hunters” working to find Jan. 6 participants have told NBC News that they've successfully identified to the FBI hundreds of additional Jan. 6 rioters — including dozens who are pictured on the FBI's Capitol Violence website.

“There are hundreds still to go,” said one online sleuth closely involved in the investigation, speaking anonymously to avoid retaliation from supporters of the rioters.

Judge Acquits January 6 Defendant: ‘Reasonably Believed’ Capitol Police Let Him In Building

On Wednesday, a federal judge acquitted a January 6 defendant on all charges after ruling that the New Mexico man “reasonably believed” he was allowed to enter the Capitol building during the protest against the 2020 election results after being let in by United States Capitol Police officers.

Judge Trevor McFadden “issued the verdict from the bench after hearing testimony without a jury in the case against Matthew Martin,” The Washington Post reported.

 

 

Martin was the first January 6 defendant to testify in his defense trial and argued that Capitol Police allowed him to enter the facility. According to the Post, Martin “said he ‘went with the flow’ as he approached the Capitol and testified that he saw a police officer wave him into the building.”

He was in the Capitol building for roughly 10 minutes on that day.

‘If That’s The Rule, We Will Win’: January 6 Acquittal ‘Enormously Important,’ Dershowitz Says

Brady Knowlton, who Dershowitz is representing, spent 18 minutes in the Capitol on January 6 after he and others passed several police officers walking in their opposite direction, The Daily Wire reported. Knowlton told The Daily Wire that an officer said, “You can go in as long as you don’t break anything,” before watching police and protestors shaking hands.

Dershowitz said that “the subjective intent of the defendant is key,” noting that the judge took Martin’s word over that of the police and the prosecution. The courts “have to look at the state of mind of the defendant,” he said.

“If that’s the rule, we will win,” he said. “Because it’s clear Brady honestly and reasonably believed that he was not violating any rules or laws — that he was being welcomed — as long as he didn’t do any damage.”

There are now three January 6 defendants who have resolved their cases in a trial — but Martin is the first to be acquitted of all charges. The defendant was charged with entering and remaining in a restricted building, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building, violent entry and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, and demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building.

Another January 6 Narrative Goes Boom

Capitol Police did, in fact, let the protesters in the building. 

 

How does a mob “illegally storm” the Capitol building when police let them in? That is the latest narrative-shifting question the media wants desperately to avoid after a federal judge on Wednesday found a January 6 defendant not guilty for his conduct during the protest at the Capitol that day. 

Matthew Martin was arrested in Santa Fe, New Mexico on April 22, 2021; he later was charged with the four most common misdemeanors related to the Justice Department’s prosecution of Capitol protesters: entering a restricted building, disorderly conduct, violent entry, and parading in the Capitol building.

Those petty offenses comprise the overwhelming majority of criminal charges against the nearly 800 or so January 6 defendants. More than 150 people have pleaded guilty to the “parading” charge—many have been sentenced to a few months in prison.

 

But those defendants might regret accepting the plea deal offered by the government after D.C. District Court Judge Trevor McFadden not only acquitted Martin on all counts but agreed with Martin’s assertion that he was “waved” in by Capitol Police officers. Martin, who opted for a bench trial before the Trump-appointed judge and testified in his own defense, entered the building around 3 p.m. through a set of doors on the east side. He walked through the Rotunda and stayed inside for about 10 minutes.

While speaking to reporters on March 28, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco discussed the 2023 budget and the importance the DOJ places on the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol incursion.

Democrats believe that when something isn’t working, they simply must do more of it.

After more than a year of mining the political fool’s gold of the Jan. 6 incursion at the U.S. Capitol, the new Department of Justice budget proves they’re still not ready to give up on that narrative.

According to the White House budget release, the DOJ requested $37.7 billion in its discretionary funding, an increase of more than $4.2 billion that amounts to 13 percent more than what it received in 2021.

Moreover, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco made it clear that Jan. 6 will remain on its list of priorities.

Jan. 6 defendant backs out of plea deal after judge acquits other accused rioter

 

A man charged in the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol backed out of a deal to plead guilty just days after a federal judge declared another defendant not guilty in the first acquittal connected to the attack.

Shawn Witzemann previously came to a deal to plead guilty to four misdemeanor charges next week, but he changed his mind after U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden granted a full acquittal to another defendant who was charged with entering a restricted building. Facing similar charges, Witzemann told prosecutors on Thursday that he would seek a similar fate.

 

"He didn't want to plead guilty to begin with, but he was afraid to trust the judicial system in D.C.," said Guy Womack, who represents Witzemann, according to NBC.

Witzemann was arrested last April on four charges, including entering and remaining in a restricted building, disruptive conduct in a restricted building, violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, and demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building.

Trump Jr. Texts Show 'Coup Was the Plan' From the Start, Legal Experts Say

Jason Lemon

Apr. 9 2022

Some legal experts contend that newly reported text message sent from Donald Trump Jr. to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows demonstrate that the former president and his allies were planning a "coup" from the start—even before votes were fully counted in the 2020 election.

(Snip)

But Trump critics and some legal experts jumped on the reporting, arguing it was more evidence of a "coup" attempt.

"What this makes clear is that Jan. 6 was not based on a belief, good faith or otherwise, that the outcome of the 2020 election was decided incorrectly—they were plotting this before the votes had even been counted! The coup was the plan from the get-go," Asha Rangappa, a lawyer and senior lecturer at Yale University as well as a former FBI special agent, tweeted on Friday.

Ex-Virginia police officer found guilty on all charges related to Jan. 6 Capitol riot

Robertson, who was a sergeant with the Rocky Mount Police, faced counts including obstructing official proceedings and impeding law enforcement, CNN reported.

He was also convicted of entering a restricted area with a dangerous weapon, a large wooden stick that Robertson said he used to help him walk. The U.S. Army veteran walked with a limp after he was injured more than a decade ago while working as a private contractor in Afghanistan, his attorney said.

Last week during the trial, the jury heard from witnesses such as federal agents and Robertson's former police colleague who testified against him as part of a plea deal. Robertson did not testify during his trial.

Heartless Biden Regime to Rip Newborn Baby from Single Mom and January 6th Protester Felicia Konold – Feds Insist ‘She’ Is a ‘Proud Boy

Felicia Konold faces more than 30 years of prison time if found guilty for the crime of marching at the “Stop The Steal” Protest on January 6th. She has been indicted for the ridiculous charge of “Conspiracy” for walking next to a group of Proud Boys. The fake news media has painted her as a “Proud Boy.” (She is NOT, the Proud Boys are an all-male fraternity and drinking club.) Felicia’s newborn son will be taken away by the government if she is convicted and sent to prison.  This is her incredible story.

While still asleep in the early morning of February 11, 2021, 20+ FBI Agents and Federal SWAT Team members kicked in the door to Felicia Konold’s farmhouse.  The 26-year-old single mother awoke suddenly to officers yelling from outside, “FBI! Come out of the house, now!” :snip:

“I Have Heard Many Stories of Horrors and Atrocities in Tiananmen Square. This Was America’s Tiananmen Square.” Jan 6 Victim of Police Brutality and Prosecutorial Misconduct – Marine James McGrew

 

Despite the fact that I did not attend the President’s speech on The Ellipse on January 6th, did not march to the Capitol, and was not at the Capitol the day of the Capitol riot, The Washington Post, The New York Times, CNN, MSNBC and others have sought to baselessly link me to the illegal acts at the Capitol that day.  Even the Washington Post reported that three different sources confirmed that I was not in a “War Room” in The Willard Hotel that was allegedly operating on January 6, but these legacy media outfits still want to accuse me of wrongdoing.

The main tactic that these fake news outlets have utilized to try to falsely tie me to the January 6th riot at the Capitol is “guilt by association.” The fact that I know and speak to President Donald Trump and that I have come into contact with members of either the Proud Boys or the Oath Keepers, proves nothing whatsoever.
