The DOJ has finally disgorged some exculpatory evidence about January 6
American Thinker ^ | 19 Oct, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

It took a court order and a long period of foot-dragging but we now have more evidence that our government is persecuting many innocent political prisoners.

For a very long time, based on a few short snippets of random videos that people outside and inside of the Capitol shot on January 6, conservatives have been arguing that significant numbers of the people who entered the Capitol that day did so because the Capitol Police let them in. Their presence there wasn’t an insurrection or even an unauthorized trespass—they had a right to be there once the “guardians” of the Capitol opened the door. Now, the official video from the Capitol confirms that those snippets were accurate.

January 6 defendants and conservative media outlets have been demanding for ten months that the Department of Justice release the 14,000 hours of footage it has showing what happened at the Capitol on that day. An administration dedicated to truth and a prosecution abiding by the principle that the government must make exculpatory material available to the defense would have long ago complied with those requests.

But the Biden DOJ is made of sterner, and possibly more corrupt, stuff. It took a court order to make the DOJ disgorge just some of the footage it has. And let me note that the motion to produce that Ethan Nordean, a defendant, filed asking for material to which he is entitled under the law wasn’t enough. Instead, the “Press Coalition,” which includes CNN, The New York Times, and broadcast news networks, had to add its voice to the motion before the judge. (I happen to think it’s noteworthy that the media’s demands had more weight before the judge than the defendant’s rights.)

From Julie Kelly's article:

At the start of the video, one officer held open the interior door that accesses the Capitol Rotunda, a space between the House and Senate wings. Five or six unidentified men exited the door and spoke to the officer before leaving. Those men held open the exterior double-doors, where protesters began filing into the building. Nordean’s lawyer said his client is recorded entering the building, with the consent of police, between 2:37 p.m. and 2:38 p.m.

I am sure all of us have seen this video, but the DOJ shut it down and covered it up to hide that this was orchestrated.

It’s noteworthy to remember that there were, I believe, FOUR SUICIDES OF CAPITOL POLICE RECENTLY.

Maybe that could have something to do with the phony “insurrection?”

I'm still struck by the fact that, despite 100,000 people at the President Trump rally, the first people inside the Capitol Building were the guy in the Conan costume, that Antifa videographer John Sullivan, and some woman with a bullhorn yelling instructions through a broken window to people inside wearing gas masks.

How is it that, if this was supposed to be Trump-supporters storming the Capitol in an insurrection, that these leftists were the ones who were there first?

Here is a good video from the Epoch Times that shows how Antifa supporters were there first to manipulate the Trump rally crowd that day.

The left have been caught multiple times ..I don’t like the word “hoax” makes it sound like they are pulling a practical joke.
When what they are actually doing is committing a felony.
We’re some of those “hoaxes” like Smollet practice rehearsals..testing the water..for larger events like Jan 6?

What they keep dodging is that the grounds and building belong to WE the people, it is public property. It is not theirs, We the people are the landlords allowing THEM to temporarily use the facilities rent free while serving US in office.

I saw this concept of ownership switch from we the people to government when Clinton closed Pennsylvania Ave. The writing was on the wall. This is when the “squatter’s rights” claimed by a new all powerful government reared it’s head.

I totally agree. Poor choice of word given the circumstances.

An agent provocateur (French for “inciting agent”) is a person who commits or who acts to entice another person to commit an illegal or rash act or falsely implicate them in partaking in an illegal act, so as to ruin the reputation or entice legal action against the target or a group they belong to or are perceived to belong to. They may target any group, such as a peaceful protest or demonstration, a union, a political party or a company.

I am very surprised that legacy media outlets would lend their voices to this.

Welcome to America 2.0, which bears a shocking resemblance to USSR 1.0.

It was also Foreigner’s fifth studio album. The prior, of course, being simply 4.

A government that would embed agent provocateurs, shoot and kill an unarmed woman, impeach an outgoing President, install fortifications around public buildings, ignore constitutional rights of American citizens, hide exculpatory evidence... Is a government that has demonstrated that they have adopted totalitarianism and view citizens as subjects to be ruled. They’re desperately seeking justification to further their actions.

It seems to me withholding exculpatory evidence would be grounds for reversing existing convictions on appeal.

It would be in a real justice system.

Anyone paying attention knew this was the case, but only the innocent will be found guilty.

Yes, unfortunately the judiciary seems to have joined the Department of Just Us.

I would also think some of the prejudicial comments by some of the judges would also justify a reversal on appeal.

It should be obvious by now that this just simply isn’t true any more, if it ever actually was.
