Lies related to the whereabouts of Vice President Kamala Harris and former Vice President Mike Pence on January 6 are coming to the fore.
Federal prosecutors last week scored a big victory after a Washington, D.C., jury took less than three hours to find Guy Reffitt, the first January 6 defendant to stand trial, guilty on all counts.
The Justice Department’s winning streak might be short-lived, however. Prosecutors will have a tougher task with the trial starting Monday for Couy Griffin, the “Cowboys for Trump” leader arrested for his minor and nonviolent involvement in the Capitol protest on January 6.
Griffin was the subject of my very first article over a year ago on the Justice Department’s abusive prosecution of January 6 protesters in which, coincidentally, I asked the rhetorical question, “Where is the outrage over America’s political prisoners?” as official Washington was in a tizzy over Russian President Vladimir Putin’s imprisonment of his country’s star dissident.
After the government charged Griffin on January 19, 2021 with two low-level trespassing misdemeanors, acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Michael Sherwin asked the court to keep Griffin detained pending trial. Sherwin, recall, bragged about a “shock and awe campaign” of January 6 arrests prior to Joe Biden’s inauguration.
Relying mostly on remarks Griffin made during and after the protest, Sherwin claimed that the New Mexico county commissioner, who never entered the Capitol, was a danger to the community. “[The] defendant is an inflammatory provocateur and fabulist who engages in racist invective and propounds baseless conspiracy theories, including that Communist China stole the 2020 Presidential Election,” Sherwin’s office wrote in a motion seeking Griffin’s imprisonment. “He denies the lawful election of the president and as [sic] stated repeatedly that Biden will never be president.”

It sure looks like unserious charges for all of the actions the government has taken against him.
And I’m sure after this we’ll see the BLM and Antifa trials....oh wait.
Impure thoughts. How dare he?
Any future trials should have all democrats as defendants in their massive frauds and crimes against the people of the world.
That organized secutor needs to be disbarred. Unfortunately The Bar Association is corrupt. I’m old enough that I can remember when that group had ethics.
Uh, when will a NON lie be exposed. Seems to be their SOP at DOH-j anymore.

Imprisonment in the U.S. for wrong think. Perhaps the U.S. needs to cleanup its own house and its man rights record before it starts criticizing others.
another one of the legions of termites busily, and happily gnawing away at the woodwork of civilization.
From Wikipedia:
Sherwin’s office arrested hundreds of people in the wake of weeks of violent protests in D.C. following the murder of George Floyd. The actions took a curious turn when Sherwin, acting in his position as U.S. Attorney at the discretion of President Trump, came to the defense of BLM protestors that DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, a BLM proponent, wanted charged with crimes. Bowser publicly criticized Sherwin for not bringing enough charges against the protesters. Sherwin fired back in a public letter saying her police department had not produced the bare minimum of evidence. “Surely, by your comments, you are not suggesting that this Office skirt constitutional protections and due process,” Sherwin wrote.
So, in other words, he is in jail for exercising his 1st Amendment rights.
Excellent article linked at AG, didn’t know about the Harris/Pence relationship to the charges.
Contrast that with how violent BLM, Anti-fa and the protesters after Trump’s election were treated by the justice system.
Also, Smollett was convicted of a crime and released while the Jan 6th “insurrectionists” haven’t been convicted of anything and are being held indefinitely in solitary confinement in DC jails.
That’s modern American justice.
From the article:
1. A judge decided that this guy he has no Constitutional right to criticize the playing of the black anthem at NFL games.
2. We know that the Dept. of Justice was forced to amend the 1752 complaint (about restricted access regarding protected officials) from endangering Harris, as she was not in the Capitol at the time (she was ushered over to the DNC so that the Secret Service could “find” the “bomb”). Now they’re having to amend it regarding Pence to say that Pence “was and would be temporarily visiting” the building.
Up and down, the Jan 6 “insurrection” is a governmental farce.
