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

Posted on 01/09/2024 4:23:49 AM PST by MtnClimber

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.

Eventually, they will arrest everyone who voted for Trump for the ‘support’ of the ‘insurrection’. which means half of the country. It has been done in other countries (like China, Russia, North Korea, etc.)

...and why not?

They have engaged in tyranny and injustice already and nobody stepped up to stop them, even after they placed these innocents in solitary confinement and abused them while incarcerated for over a year.

WHY SHOULD THEY STOP?

So, this is the natural next step...and they continue to believe nobody is going to stop them. We have been demonized adequately for the general population. WHO is going to stop them?

Nothing will stop Graves until he faces charges of prosecutorial misconduct.

The Supreme Court created blanket immunity for prosecutors in 1976.

It is very hard to do *anything* to prosecutors.

The Left has used this for lawfare.

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

Agree. And those removing the prohibited zone barriers and signs were fedbois. Also those urging people to go inside the Capitol were fedbois. The fedbois were also behind the Capitol doors being unlocked and for the orders to Capitol Police to let people come inside. It was all a well-orchestrated event.

never forget the reason for the left’s treason, a peaceful protest to insure election integrity.

You misspelled “Ratskin” but everything else seemed to be dead on center.

Arrest by zip code - novel idea

The GPS receivers in cell phones and cars are a great way to track people. So too any use of ATMs or credit cards.

Things to always bear in mind.

Out of hand because the cops shot gas at a quiet crowd. There was an organized effort by the cops with the FBI and Pelosi to create a scenario that would set the stage for elimination of ALL opposition. They are nefarious and the lord they serve is doomed just as they are.

Jan. 6 was nothing more than a spontaneous protest that got, briefly, out of hand.

And only to the extent that the police peppered the entirely peaceful crowd with tear gas and concussion grenades, assaulted old ladies, shot and killed an unarmed Air Force vet, and waved peaceful patriots into and around the Capitol.

It wasn’t an insurrection, it was entrapment, followed by utterly unconstitutional confinement and bogus, vindictive prosecutions.

We need to take advantage ...

Who is this ‘we’? It certainly isn’t the GOP.

We shouldn't have to scurry around in darkness and fear.

This is nothing less than the complete criminalization of all dissent, Soviet-Union-style.

They will just ruin the families with legal fees and legal threats.
They want punitive action….total bankruptcy and perpetual stigma to hinder future employment, school admission…anything

Govt lawyers feed from a bottomless trough, citizens have to pay their own defense costs.
