Entrapping the Proud Boys?
Julie Kelly – who has done the best work on the January 6th defendants and the evidence against them – writes:
It’s week five of the Justice Department’s most high-profile—and high-stakes—criminal trial related to the events of January 6, 2021. Five members of the Proud Boys face the rare “seditious conspiracy” charge. Guilty verdicts—almost certain given the government’s near-perfect conviction rate for January 6 defendants—would build legal momentum for a similar indictment against Donald Trump…
Last week, Judge Timothy Kelly allowed prosecutors to play a clip of Trump’s extemporaneous comment for the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by”—a remark uttered during a presidential debate in September 2020 more than three months before the Capitol protest…
The clip is just another thin reed of evidence in the government’s landmark domestic terrorism case. In fact, much of the “evidence” amounts to nothing more than worthless trinkets, braggadocious group chats, and otherwise protected political speech.
It now appears that one key piece of evidence was not the work of any defendant in this case but rather written by a one-time government intelligence asset with unusual ties to both the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, another group involved in January 6.
Please read the whole thing.
The House should open an investigation into the corrupt practices of the DOJ and FBI in the Jan 6 persecutions. Use Dem tactics against them. Rub their noses in their dishonesty and unethical practices.
It is very unlikely that anyone at the DOJ/FBI will ever be held to account for blatant corruption or illicit and unethical activities, although the Republicans in Congress should certainly attempt to do so, no matter the odds against them. Julie Kelly is, without question, one of our most courageous and most intrepid journalists, while Darren Beattie (Revolver News) has also done much fine work on entrapment operations and the clandestine use of dubious informants.
DC jury—nuff said.
What happened to the release of all the Jan. 6 videos? I did a search and could not find anything about it.
I do believe we saw some videos released. One showing that police were tear gassed by friendly fire.
Julie Kelly’s closing line is ” As evidence piles up to show how federal assets played an animating role before and on January 6, Armes’ weird account—and background in government intelligence—cannot be dismissed as coincidence.”
This is absolutely disgusting and enraging, and why every American Patriot’s top priority has to be stopping this kind of abuse. The greatest threat is unfortunately at home, and it isn’t Putin’s Russia, Xi’s China, or even the assorted Islamists like the Iranian Government or the Saudis.
These people quite literally treated most of the Al Qaeda terrorists at Gitmo better than they did people arrested without charge because of January 6th. And worse, it’s being used to help prep the rhetorical battlefield to demonize, castigate, and ultimately eliminate us. Mark my words. This nonsense has already claimed innocent lives, and if we do not roll back these abuses it will claim yet more.
There’s so much to keep track of! I hadn’t kept up lately with what’s going on.
It’s hard to stomach or fathom how much time & money was poured into plans for ripping Trump from the WH, had the 2020 election played out fair & honestly.
And all the people involved!!
The anti-Trumpers have certainly succeeded in creating their own piece of the swamp, as a never-ending source of income. Their goal of taking down Trump, their slippery road runner, has ensnared so many innocent Americans!
Like the “Russian collusion” scam, but bigger. More people hurt.
“Transition Integrity Project” & “1776 Returns” — the Hollywood-ish products created by the leftists — are being used like blueprints against the proud boys & the oath keepers.
Yes, it smells like entrapment to me, too, Neo.
Disgusting.
PS: Turtler, well said.

Meaningless unless in a REAL court.. this was a soviet style court and nothing can come of it without it also running through a regular court…
it will never get to that, because that would mean nancy and others become able to be called by the defense… ie. inconvenient at best… a sh*t storm at worse
