Judge Denies Requests From Jan. 6 Defendants To Cross-Examine FBI Agent On Leaked Messages

Defendants in the ongoing Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol Breach trial suffered a defeat on Monday, as the court ordered that the defendants may not cross-examine an FBI agent for most of the defense attorneys’ allegations that spawned from internal FBI messages ...

The fix was in a long time ago. Someone needs to check on deposits into these judges’ bank accounts over the past 2 years.

[logi_cal869]

That’s criteria for a new trial and venue right there.

Unless I’m mistaken (in a normal world).

[dpetty121263]

Yeah but the other way is more doable..

[Boogieman]

If he can’t be cross-examined, then his testimony should be inadmissible.

[Robert DeLong]

Well, that's a sign that you are waking up to the fact that this no longer is the U.S.A. into which you were born.

Same name, but radically changed into a tyrannical communist nation, by political members on both sides of the aisle, I might add.

[Boogieman]

“Can’t they get out of that venue?”

The trial has to happen in the district where the supposed crime occurred, so they’re pretty much stuck in DC.

The upside is that DC is federal jurisdiction, so if we ever get another Republican president, he can pardon all of them with the stroke of a pen.

[Mr. K]

Um... yeah, that’s gotta be appealed...

You have no right to information for your defense???

The FBI agents exposed themselves, proving the defenses case.

[blackdog]

How Stasi of him.

[Rurudyne]

Political prisoners who don’t yet know they have no rights.

[blackdog]

Well there is a successful appeal.

[Pajamajan]

SMH.

[knarf]

bingo !

[Jacquerie]

Like executive branch agencies, Congress created the lower federal courts.

And as with administrative agencies, I do not understand why Congress does not haul judges in for hearings under bright lights and cameras to explain their outrageous conduct.

[cuz1961]

This judge is a... ..

[1Old Pro]

So corrupt bad cops are above the law.

[Pajamajan]

"when she is on the stand. This is a new concept in US courts that the judge rules that you may not ask certain questions, and that you may not make certain arguments in your defense."

What the feakin hell?!

[high info voter]

So pathetic that American citizens are not able to defend themselves in a criminal fabricated circus put together by lying democrats, FBI, MSM..... SO DAMNED SAD!

"WE CANNOT EXPOSE THE REAL FELONS!!"

[AndyTheBear]

The article seems to say that normal cross-examination was allowed, but that normal cross-examination can only include asking questions about what the prosecution had already asked the witness about. From what I have gleaned as a layman this seems to be a normal court rule (at least it was on Perry Mason). It seems what was denied was the expansion of the topic of cross examination into the general corruption of the FBI.

That said, I think the case obviously should simply be thrown out and done and a full on investigation from an independent council should be ordered as its blatantly obvious that this was a political persecution and framing operation by the DOJ and senior FBI members.

However, the particular ruling was not something that goes against normal court procedure...rather it seems to just be following routine procedure in what has become a farce.

[webheart]

I wouldn’t call it a defeat. If someone comes up behind you and beats the crap out of you you don’t say that you were defeated. They are being screwed to put it mildly.

[old school]

Well...there’s always prayer! And, then there’s...well, you know. Which is immediately gratifying but is, er..uh, sinful!
