Trump pardons Giuliani, Eastman, and the so-called “fake electors” otherwise known as alternate electors
I’m glad Trump did this:
President Donald Trump granted sweeping pardons to 77 allies accused of trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. The group included Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, Sidney Powell, John Eastman, Jeffrey Clark, Boris Epshteyn, and Jenna Ellis. …
The pardon document states:
“This proclamation ends a grave national injustice perpetrated upon the American people following the 2020 Presidential Election and continues the process of national reconciliation.
“Acting pursuant to the grant of authority in Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution of the United States, I. DONALD J. TRUMP, do hereby grant a full, complete, and unconditional pardon to all United States citizens for conduct relating to the advice, creation, organization, execution, submission, support, voting, activities, participation in, or advocacy for or of any slate or proposed slate of Presidential electors, whether or not recognized by any State or State official, in connection with the 2020 Presidential Election, as well for any conduct relating to their efforts to expose voting fraud and vulnerabilities in the 2020 Presidential Election.”
Trump explicitly excluded himself from the pardon. What’s more, none of these people are currently being charged with federal crimes, so the pardons merely serve to ward off such future prosecution.
The Democrats’ contention that the alternate electors were “fake” – instead of merely “alternate” in case the election challenges were successful – was always weak; I wrote about the issues here.

My wife and I are Chief Election Judges in a Red State. Proof of ID, paper ballots, Signature and now D.O.B on return absentee ballots so we have clean elections relatively speaking.
Blue States and Blue cities are full of both election fraud and voter fraud.
Let’s assume you are a Democrat and tell me that I am lying about this industrial scale fraud. Go ahead but you have one responsibility then.
You have to explain precisely and in detail why Democrats are opposed to any and all election reform/transparency efforts. You can’t do that. Don’t bother wasting our time even trying.
QED
Why it took so long I wonder. Jan6ers at least got cleared straight away. Glad they did just wondering the time.
Well, you know, yeah, right, so…

But I wouldn’t necessarily call it a “Fedsurrection” (though that’s cute enough); I’d call it ‘just another Obama/”Biden” OP’….
(…like Russiagate, like Fast ‘n Furious, like the stolen 2020 election, like Hunter Biden’s meteoric bulls***, like Autopen Inc., like every other piece of stinkin’ corruption, lies, thuggery and weaponization they perform to perfection…)

Good. Now do the people entrapped during the Pelosi-rrection with elements of Whitmer-conspiracy. Those no longer viable, aborted under Democratic celebration of Capitol punishment, in memoriam.
I’d like to underline the PJMedia article Barry Meislin linked:

I thought it was an obvious trap the Deep State and Biden administration had perpetrated against the protesters. Followed by the internet censorship and persecution of anyone who publicly doubted the insurrection narrative. Then used it falsely as a legal weapon against Trump.
I hated the way some conservative voices like Charles Cooke felt compelled to genuflect before that narrative, disparage the J6ers and leave them to years in prison, often in solitary confinement.
Especially in comparison to all violent BLM riots which caused billions of dollars of damage and got at least 19 people killed.
@ huxley > “I hated the way some conservative voices like Charles Cooke felt compelled to genuflect before that narrative, disparage the J6ers and leave them to years in prison, often in solitary confinement.”
What little sympathy I had left for the anti-Trump Republicans qua conservatives evaporated in the harsh light of their inconsistent principles.
They would never have accepted that sort of punishment for LEFTISTS actually guilty of armed rebellion, which the J6ers were NOT!
How many Antifa / BLM rioters have the Republicans jailed even now?
“…an obvious trap…”
Indeed, it’s been pretty obvious for some time now—that is, obvious for most anyone whose been paying attention to all the staging and discrepancies perpetrated by those Oscar-coveting, Leni-Riefenstahl-obsessed Democrats (e.g., Obama, “Biden”, Pelosi, et al., including, gloriously prominently, the DPUSA-weaponized DOJ and CIA et al.)….
Yes, the Democrats, along with their utterly devoted/demented MEDIA hoplites, have managed to pull off some stunningly impressive coups!
Gosh! Speaking of “coups”…it looks like we’re living through an Oh-So-Inglorious replay of “The Glorious Revolution”!! (And here we all thought that the Battle Royale currently being waged against Raggedy Andy and Frumpy Fergie was merely a distracting “one-off”…distracting from, from, from what? one might ask…)
And so….

Left goes crazy, ignoring the thousands of auto pen Biden pardons
Now comes the news that, after almost 60 months since the incident, and using, among other things, “gait analysis,” a technology very likely available to a supposedly mystified FBI (which has otherwise been reportedly very successful in using all sorts of sophisticated technology to create a dragnet to identify, locate, arrest, prosecute, and jail thousands of people connected to the supposed “Insurgency,” even to reportedly include the elderly, and people who never entered the Capitol building that day, but who were just innocently walking by the Capitol building), non-governmental investigators have determined—with what they say is a very high level of confidence–who the individual likely was who placed the pipe bombs on the day electors were supposed to be counted, and it is a former Capitol police officer who—surprise, surprise—now works for the CIA.*
Moreover, in the article linked below, and quoting from his book, “The Steal’” vol. III, The Coverup,” Joe Hoft argues that the pipe bomb incident was staged to create an “Emergency,”–to add to the Emergency of the Jan 6 “Fedsurection” which–we have only recently learned–had 274 “undercover” FBI Agents/employees embedded in the “insurgent” crowd**–so that, in this “Emergency,” and air of crisis, Pelosi would have an excuse to manipulate the vote to shut out any challenges to the Democrats favored electors, and with the added help of VP Pence, assuring that Biden would be declared to have won the Presidency.***
P.S. And the whole idea, of course, was to hide this information for so long that, when it comes out it, it won’t effect Biden’s election–now passed–and the only thing which might be done is to put some steps in place to make it harder to pull the some thing off in the future.

Has Shauni Rae Kerkhoff denied she planted the bombs?
Art Deco–Just glancing around the Internet today, I don’t see any statement from Kerkhoff, much less a denial.
Looking at some of the other stories about this pipe bomb incident discloses the additional information that, as a Capitol Police training officer, she would have had ready access to dummy pipe bombs.
P.S.S. You might also remember that, when, in 2023, then FBI Director Wray, under oath, was asked by Rep. Andy Briggs if there were any undercover FBI agents in the Jan 6 crowd that day, and he said that “he did not believe” that there were any.
As the months passed, there were admissions–carefully dribbling out–that maybe a few “confidential sources” or “informants” might have been in the crowd that day (at some point, I believe I remember that some spokesman even tried to float the ridiculous idea that some of these informants were actually volunteers, who just showed up to help).
Now, though, with Kash Patel as the new head of the FBI, we find out that there were actually 274 undercover FBI agents in the crowd that day, supposedly sent in to do “crowd control.”
Add in who knows how many additional “informants” and “confidential sources” were also in that crowd, and one starts to wonder if there were even a handful of actual, normal, patriotic Americans among that crowd of hundreds of government agents?
Next, suspicious ol’ me wonders how many in the crowd might have been trained agitators from this or that civilian/covert organization, or even agents of some adversary foreign governments, bound and determined that there would be some sort of trouble that day?
Is Shauni Rae Kerkhoff remaining silent on her own initiative, or at the advice of counsel, or on orders from higher ups?
With so many different aspects to Jan 6–and so many things still concealed about it— I wonder if there will ever be a comprehensive overview of the events that day and the people and organizations involved.
The Blaze’s Glenn Beck now says that he’s not sure who planted the bomb, and that Shauni Kerkhoff is presumed to be innocent at this point. Did he get a call from lawyers for the CIA, or … ?
= = = = = =
“Next, suspicious ol’ me wonders how many in the crowd might have been trained agitators from this or that civilian/covert organization, or even agents of some adversary foreign governments … ”
It has been alleged that Antifa receives foreign funding, including from the Chinese government.
In case ya didn’t know, during a book tour interview, Kamala,–cackle– says that–cackle–she was actually–cackle– playing 3-D chess during the–cackle– 2024 campaign (I presume to Trump’s playing checkers).*
Yeah, right. How’d that 3-D chess turn out for ya, old cackles?
