And jailed.
Yea, I can't imagen how many false statements and presentations they made to the court.
Isn’t there a counter-suit in the offing?

THE SCENT OF MONEY
Evans and seven other black Capitol Hill Police Officers sued Brandon Straka and several Trump supporters under the KKK Act for conducting “racist” attacks on them on January 6, 2021.

Lol 😂
CNN let the cat out of the bag
The US Attorney has already charged him with Felony Fraud right? The Judge certainly found him and his lawyer for Fraud Upon the Court, jailed them and referred the lawyer to he BAR for Disbarment and a referral for Criminal Prosecution to the DOJ right?
WHY NOT?
Not him!
He has Racial Immunity.
DC police and Capitol police are two different organizations.
Probably because of the color of his skin.
Where?
The DC Police are nothing but a bunch of sh*t-faced, lyin’ camel jockeys.
For Some Capitol Hill Police Officers, Jan. 6 Never Ends
The storming of the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob still haunts
some officers, no matter how many days have passed.
By Stephen A. Crockett Jr., huffpost.com Opinion Editor, Jan 6, 2022
U.S. Capitol Police Officer Byron Evans talks freely about the heroics of Jan. 6, 2021. Not his own but of the others around him. He will tell you that the officers inside the Capitol didn’t know how many people were outside.
“We weren’t watching TV,” he said.
He will tell you about COVID-19 restrictions and the number of officers in the building on that day and Congress members’ efforts to get back in session to continue the electoral vote certification once things settled down. He will tell you how officers held people off at the door.
“What people don’t know is that Officer [Eugene] Goodman ran upstairs to tell us that they had breached the building,” Evans told me on the first anniversary of the riot. “We went on lockdown. And Goodman ran back downstairs. If you look at the video of him leading the protesters away, he looks over his shoulder for a second, and that was where we were standing.”
He will tell you with a slight laugh that right before things got serious, he was on break. He will not say that the dissident had become demonic. He will only briefly mention that those pushing outside had forced their way into the building.
He will talk about the mace and pepper spray, and the stinging of his eyes and how it still hung in the air even after the protesters were gone.
But when it comes to how he feels — how he feels now after all of this went down — even a year later, he pauses and then says, “It’s messed up, man.”

For many officers, Jan. 6 was the beginning of a terror that still lives inside them. The trauma from that day still actively swims inside their collective psyche. Toughness doesn’t allow for a free-flowing conversation about the events of that day among officers; or, it does as long as it stays above feelings.
Evans can talk easily about the physical pain:
“I worked so long that when I could finally go home; around 4 or 5 a.m., I could barely walk to my car,” he said. “It felt like I’d done two or three leg days in a row.”
And how he had to be back at work the very next day.
“It was all hands on deck,” he said. “It was almost like, ‘Did that really just happen?’” The damage to the Capitol confirmed he wasn’t imagining things.
“And it was difficult watching people, knowing that they were going through it but they couldn’t show it. And that hasn’t ended, to be honest.”
For many who tried to stop the insurrection, the trauma continues. Death threats still come in from those who believe that the country actively worked to steal the election from former President Donald Trump. Elected officials still downplay the events of that day, even a year later, when they’ve had to backtrack.
So the days drag on the way days do, and the haunting of Jan. 6 remains. Evans says a little prayer each day before he goes into work. He even laughs that it might be corny. It’s not. He notes that his main goal each day is to make it back home. He adds that he doesn’t have to agree with the politics of those occupying the seats in Congress to protect them, so that’s what he does. Tirelessly.Every day.
He will note the obvious irony that lives between radicalized insurrectionists storming the Capitol and Blue Lives Matter supporters often being the same people.
Many know of Ashli Babbitt, the insurrectionist fatally shot by police officers who has become a martyr for those who believe that the Capitol riot was just. But how many remember Gunther Hashida, Kyle DeFreytag and Howard Liebengood, all police officers who died by suicide soon after protecting the Capitol from enraged MAGA proponents and QAnon followers.
The family of Liebengood — who died just three days after the insurrection — is fighting for his death to be classified as in the line of duty.
“Although he was severely sleep-deprived, he remained on duty — as he was directed — practically around the clock from Jan. 6 through the 9th. On the evening of the 9th, he took his life at our home,” Liebengood’s wife, Serena Liebengood, wrote to Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D-Va.).
Liebengood, like many other officers that day, was just doing his job. But then that job became too much to process, because suicide is what happens when trauma wins. It’s what happens when a calamity goes unprocessed. It’s what happens when pushing it all down stops working. Once the gate is opened, putting the fox back in the cage becomes almost impossible.
“This didn’t just happen Jan. 6,” Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn said. “Jan. 6 just exposed a divide that this country has, and how do you fix that?”
Dunn gained unwanted attention after his emotional testimony during a House select committee hearing. With the anniversary here, he says he’s gotten about 80 messages from news outlets that want to talk with him about the events of Jan. 6, 2021. But he says he doesn’t mind speaking out about what happened on that day he will never forget because it’s serving a dual purpose.
“We are in a rough place right now. Where we are right now, we are hurting,” Dunn said about himself and his fellow officers, but he could have just as easily been talking about America. “So many people process grief different, which includes keeping it inside.” He pauses for a second and then says, “It’s why I talk so much, because it helps me.”

Normally I would say that if a client lyes to his lawyer the lawyer should not be held responsible.
But if your client is on national TV talking about the facts of the case the lawyer should know about it
Capitol Police Officers Sue Trump and Allies Over Election Lies and Jan. 6
The suit, which took a broad view of the riot’s origins, was the latest effort
to hold former President Donald J. Trump accountable for the Capitol attack.

nytimes.com, By Alan Feuer, Aug. 26, 2021, Updated Oct. 18, 2021
A group of seven Capitol Police officers filed a lawsuit on Thursday accusing former President Donald J. Trump and nearly 20 members of far-right extremist groups and political organizations of a plot to disrupt the peaceful transition of power during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6.
The suit, which implicated members of the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers militia and Trump associates like Roger J. Stone Jr., was arguably the most expansive civil effort to date seeking to hold Mr. Trump and his allies legally accountable for the storming of the Capitol.
While three other similar lawsuits were filed in recent months, the suit on Thursday was the first to allege that Mr. Trump worked in concert with both far-right extremists and political organizers promoting his baseless lies that the presidential election was marred by fraud.
“This is probably the most comprehensive account of Jan. 6 in terms of civil cases,” said Edward Caspar, a lawyer who is leading the suit for the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. “It spans from the former president to militants around him to his campaign supporters.”
Several police officers who served during the Capitol riot have come forward with stories of the insults and injuries they faced that day, most prominently at a congressional hearing in July. But the lawsuit, filed in Federal District Court in the District of Columbia, was the first time that the seven plaintiffs, five of whom are Black, offered details of their ordeals.
One of the officers, Governor Latson, was helping to secure the Senate chamber when a mob of rioters broke in and shoved him, beat him and hurled racial slurs at him, the lawsuit says. Another, Jason DeRoche, was caught in a melee on the west front steps of the Capitol, where, according to the suit, rioters pelted him with batteries and doused him with mace and bear spray, causing his eyes to swell shut.
Takeaways From Trump’s Indictment in the 2020 Election Inquiry
Four charges for the former president. Former President Donald Trump was charged with four counts in connection with his widespread efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The indictment was filed by the special counsel Jack Smith in Federal District Court in Washington. Here are some key takeaways:
The indictment portrayed an attack on American democracy. Smith framed his case against Trump as one that cuts to a key function of democracy: the peaceful transfer of power. By underscoring this theme, Smith cast his effort as an effort not just to hold Trump accountable but also to defend the very core of democracy.
Trump was placed at the center of the conspiracy charges. Smith put Trump at the heart of three conspiracies that culminated on Jan. 6, 2021, in an attempt to obstruct Congress’s role in ratifying the Electoral College outcome. The special counsel argued that Trump knew that his claims about a stolen election were false, a point that, if proved, could be important to convincing a jury to convict him.
Trump didn’t do it alone. The indictment lists six co-conspirators without naming or indicting them. Based on the descriptions provided, they match the profiles of Trump lawyers and advisers who were willing to argue increasingly outlandish conspiracy and legal theories to keep him in power. It’s unclear whether these co-conspirators will be indicted.
Trump’s political power remains strong. Trump may be on trial in 2024 in three or four separate criminal cases, but so far the indictments appear not to have affected his standing with Republican voters. By a large margin, he remains his party’s front-runner in the presidential primaries.
The suit contends that Mr. Trump and his co-defendants violated the Ku Klux Klan Act, an 1871 statute that includes protections against violent conspiracies that interfere with Congress’s constitutional duties. It also accuses the defendants of committing “bias-motivated acts of terrorism” in violation of District of Columbia law.
The use of civil litigation to hold Mr. Trump — and many in his orbit — accountable for the events of Jan. 6 has taken place even as the Justice Department has undertaken the largest criminal investigation in its history into the Capitol attack and a select committee of Congress has opened its own inquiry into the riot. On Wednesday, members of the committee made far-reaching requests to federal agencies for detailed records of Mr. Trump’s movements and meetings on the day of the attack.
The first of the lawsuits was filed in February by the N.A.A.C.P. on behalf of Democratic lawmakers who accused Mr. Trump, his former lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani, the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers of conspiring to prevent certification of the Electoral College vote on Jan. 6.
