Jan. 6: the DOJ plans to arrest everybody in the zip code
American Thinker ^ | 9 Jan, 2024 | Mike McDaniel

Les Miserables is Victor Hugo’s morality tale of Inspector Javert and his Ahab-like pursuit of Jean Valjean. One of the great novels of all time, its message holds true in our amoral time:

U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Matthew Graves, suggested that law enforcement will soon target those who just stood outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

During a press conference this week, Graves hinted that Americans who didn’t even go inside the Capitol building on Jan. 6 could still lead to thousands of arrests.

“An important note when it comes to our prosecutions about those who remained outside the building. We have used our prosecutorial discretion to primarily focus on those who entered the building or those who engaged in violent or corrupt conduct on Capitol grounds,” Graves said. “But if a person knowingly entered the restricted area without authorization, they had already committed a federal crime. Make no mistake, thousands of people occupied an area that they were not authorized to be present in in the first place.”

Americans are increasingly coming to understand the injustice of most Jan. 6 prosecutions. Without question, the events of Jan. 6 were not remotely an insurrection. No one was armed, and even if they were and managed to seize the Capital building, the Republic would never have been in the slightest jeopardy. Indeed, a number of leftist organizations have seized government buildings and suffered nothing for it. Jan. 6 was nothing more than a spontaneous protest that got, briefly, out of hand.

No, Jan. 6 violence was likely a majority of Antifa and FIB sources dressed as Trump supporters. They also went into the Capitol and got some unwary Trump supporters to follow them. The bomb hoaxes were likely FIB hoaxes as well.

I don’t think a majority of the crowd was fedbois. I do believe the instigators of damage to the building was fedbois.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn:

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?

China making performance demands on our “government”.

Smart phones and facial recognition - it’s how modern “government” operates.

If we truly were and are a nation of sheeple, why does Deep State have to steal elections?

Deep State is still afraid of us.

We need to take advantage of that fact before it’s too late.

Nothing will stop Graves until he faces charges of prosecutorial misconduct. Biden’s persecution of J6 protestors to inflate fake white nationalist crime stats. The disparity between the treatment of J6 and BLM and pro Hamas rioters is infuriating.

We have needed an honest inquisition about Jan 6 since the event took place. The investigations that have been conducted thus far have fallen short of the truth. The minute that McCarthy took the gavel a panel should have been created, a panel the did not include Cheney or Rasskin. THEY should be in jail for what they have done to this country.
