DOJ asks judge to drop order barring Oath Keepers from visiting Capitol

Stewart Rhodes, previously sentenced to 18 years for seditious conspiracy, was at the Capitol Wednesday chatting up lawmakers and reporters.

The Justice Department is asking a federal judge to drop his recent order barring Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes — who was freed from prison by President Donald Trump earlier this week — and several top allies from entering Washington D.C. or the Capitol without permission.

Acting U.S. attorney for D.C. Ed Martin, a longtime advocate for Jan. 6 defendants, signed the motion asking U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta to reverse his position, issued just hours earlier on Friday. The defendants “are no longer subject to terms of supervised release and probation,” he wrote.

Martin followed up his motion with a press statement.

“If a judge decided that Jim Biden, General Mark Milley, or another individual were forbidden to visit America’s capital — even after receiving a last-minute, preemptive pardon from the former President — I believe most Americans would object,” Martin said in a statement. “The individuals referenced in our motion have had their sentences commuted — period, end of sentence.”

Mehta’s order appeared to be a response to Rhodes’ decision to hold court in the Capitol Wednesday, just days after Trump commuted his 18-year prison sentence for seditious conspiracy, related to his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol. It also applied to several of Rhodes’ co-defendants in the case.

“You must not knowingly enter the United States Capitol Building or onto surrounding grounds known as Capitol Square … without first obtaining the permission from the...

When the Biden regime was on the throne, DOJ told the “judges” what they wanted.

Amit Mehta and matty "Run Like A Little Girl" graves just filled their adult diapers when they saw this directive.

This is punishment for going overboard.

You can't IMAGINE how angry these little black-robed godlettes on the DC federal bench are going to be at The Trump putting his boot up their officious keesters.

I don’t intend on ever going again to DC. It isn’t safe.

This is what I’ve found so far:

The Fifth Day of Trumpmas - DOJ47 gently rubs Obama stooge Amit Mehta’s nose in his own stinking Jan 6th pile...
“On the Fifth Day of Trumpmas, my President gave to me - a stick in the eye of DC...”

“On the Fourth Day of Trumpmas, my President gave to me, pro-life pardons numbering 23...”

“On the third day of Trumpmas, my President brought to me, a closed asylum system”

Is there a 1st and 2nd day?

And yes, you have a following...

With the pardon or commutation, the Indian born moslem judge can no longer order new conditions or punishments.

If there is a commutation, where does a condition of release get its legal authority?

This is certainly a due process violation.

OK, here’s the list thus far:

On the first day of Trumpmas my President gave to me 26 executive orders.

On the second day of Trumpmas my President gave to me 1,000 DEI firings and 26 executive orders.

“On the third day of Trumpmas, my President brought to me, a closed asylum system”
On the third day of Trumpmas my President gave to me 300 gangs arrested, 1,000 DEI firings, and 26 executive orders.

“On the Fourth Day of Trumpmas, my President gave to me, pro-life pardons numbering 23...”

The Fifth Day of Trumpmas - DOJ47 gently rubs Obama stooge Amit Mehta’s nose in his own stinking Jan 6th pile...
“On the Fifth Day of Trumpmas, my President gave to me - a stick in the eye of DC...”

When you think you’re done - or sooner - I think this deserves a thread

I would not call it “asking”. I would call it “telling”. I have never seen a motion quite like it. And it’s great!

We need to really fine tune them so it fits the rhythm.

1st day - 26 executive orders
Day 2 - 1000 firings
Day 3 - 300 gangs arrested
Day 4 - 23 pro-life pardons
Day 5 - can only be 5 syllables long to match the 5 golden rings.

By day 12, we will have an catchy song that memorializes history.

See my later post back to Cottonball. Want to make sure you are good with these.

Your Trumpmas phrase was the inspiration. I haven’t had this much fun in a long time.
