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.

Re:” briefly, out of hand.”

Have the people who broke the capitol windows ever identified?

The people of the Soviet Union were lucky that it collapsed before the kind of technology being used, today, existed.

China is showing the world how technology is used by government.

I agree with your assessment of the event. People should know, however, what tools the government has to use against them. The way things are going, I expect that we WILL be scurrying around and it would be nice to be prepared.

His wife is just as evil. I believe 28 visits to the White House and counting.

Stolen elections have consequences. We should expect nothing less.

Babylon Bee should do a story using Captain Queeg as the main character.

There should be a hunt for strawberries that were on site on January 6.

I don’t suspect Russia will do this, but of they wanted to become the next major success story.... if they embraced the ideals of America before we were corrupted, and use that same technology to ENSURE freedom... they would easily exceed China or the US. They have a smart and well-educated populace.

Oh for sure, they’ve harvested all that data. It’s just a matter of time before they are comfortable enough in their control before they start the digital inquisition.
