Court filing states 20 federal 'assets' embedded at the Capitol on January 6

The claim arrives in the form of a footnote in a 41-page motion to dismiss charges against members of the Oath Keepers.

An attorney for a Jan. 6 defendant says in a recent court filing that at least 20 FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives "assets" were embedded around the U.S. Capitol on the day of the riot.

The attorney, David Fischer, is seeking a dismissal of charges of seditious conspiracy and obstruction charges against nearly a dozen members of the Oath Keepers and client Thomas Caldwell.

The 41-page motion was filed Tuesday before U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta in Washington, D.C., according to a report in the Epoch Times.

"At least 20 FBI and ATF assets were embedded around the Capitol on J6," a footnote in the motion reads. The motion also states that attorneys "combed through a mountain of discovery" including summaries of interviews conducted by FBI agents and that members of the Oath Keepers, a far-right group, were "being monitored and recorded prior to J6."

Fischer writes that despite carefully inspecting a significant amount of evidence during discovery, he has not found "one iota of proof" that the defendants pre-planned or had any "intention, design, or scheme to specifically enter the Capitol Building on J6."

Judge Amrit Mehta will simply apply Obamoid Sharia Law and hang all of these Oath keepers accordingly.

Once they are all executed, there will not be anymore of this resistance to the Pelosi nationalist socialist line ! ( sarc.)

Namaste Judge Mehta!!!!

The problem though... who is ever going to bring the truth to light? Who is going to pursue this? How does the injustice get corrected?

It won’t. D.C. has been a crime family that protects itself since Clinton took office.

Judge Amrit Mehta:( An Obama hemmoroid 9 Obamoid)

As of 2022 Mehta is presiding over several cases related to the 2021 attack on the United States Capitol. He has charge of the criminal prosecution of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes for seditious conspiracy.[13] He is also presiding over three civil lawsuits against former president Donald Trump and multiple associates, in which several congressmembers and two police officers are suing for damages for physical and emotional injuries they allegedly incurred during the attacks. On February 18, 2022, Mehta issued a lengthy opinion that rejected Trump’s claim of “absolute immunity” from lawsuits, finding that his actions were not part of his presidential duties, and that there was plausible evidence to suggest he engaged in a conspiracy with organized groups to use any means including violence to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The opinion allows the case to proceed, with the plaintiffs demanding documents, depositions, and other evidence from Trump and members of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys. The judge dropped several other co-defendants from the suit, including Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump Jr., and Representative Mo Brooks.[14]

"At least 20"

Since when is "at least" a legal response to a legal question before a court? Is the FBI admitting they have no idea how many assets and agents they had in the crowd? At least 20 but no more than 300? At least 20 but no more than 163? No less than 20 but no more than 216?

When will they rename the J. Edgar Hoover FBI building as the Barack Hussein Obama KGB building?

Hoover’s name is bad enough. A black-mailing tranny is an appropriate mascot.

If I remember right, a÷ccording to the brother of the BLM/InsurgenceUSA guy, Sullivan, who was employed by CNN at the time and recorded the slaying of Babbitt, Sullivan came to DC with a busload of leftwing nut supporters before J6 to attend the leftwing protests that took place on the morning of Jan 6. I wonder if there were any BATF or FBI among them.

Closer to 400, but I suppose if there were 400 there were 20.

Don’t forget Charlottesville.

Locals said the BLM guys and the “white supremist” came and left on the same buses.

“Court filing states...” I think “defendant’s lawyer alleges..” would be a more accurate headline.
