Emergency appeal....multi million dollar lawsuit!
We’re at the point where government is saying, “what are you going to do about it”
Sounds to me like laws were broken, and not buy the guy in jail.
The committee on weaponization of government could fix all this in about 2 days if speaker McCarthy was willing to go along and start Signing ARREST and DETAINMENT WARRANTS for Multiple DOJ Officials and Judges.
“U.S. CODE
TITLE 2—THE CONGRESS
CHAPTER 6—CONGRESSIONAL AND COMMITTEE PROCEDURE; INVESTIGATIONS
Sec. 193. Privilege of witnesses
No witness is privileged to refuse to testify to any fact, or to produce any paper, respecting which he shall be examined by either House of Congress, or by any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or by any committee of either House, upon the ground that his testimony to such fact or his production of such paper may tend to disgrace him or otherwise render him infamous.”
Simply look up Hinds Precedents, especially chapters 53 and 51, and Cannon’s Precedents, especially chapters 184-185. You’ll find numerous detailed cases of Congress asserting its power, arresting people, holding them until they agreed to answer questions, and then releasing them. Some of these people did not refuse to appear, but simply failed to satisfactorily answer questions.
Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)
If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.
Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.
Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.
Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

In 1857, a New York Times reporter refused to say which members of Congress had asked him to get them bribes (protecting his “sources” just as various Judith Millers today protect the people who feed them proven lies that costs thousands of lives), so Congress locked him up until he answered and then banned him from Congress.
In 1924 an oil executive appeared but refused to answer certain questions, so the Senate held — literally held — him in contempt. Senator Thomas Walsh of Montana argued that this question of contempt was of the gravest importance, and that it involved “the very life of the effective existence of the House of Representatives of the United States and of the Senate of the United States.” The matter was taken to court, and the witness fined and imprisoned.
Oops.
Doesn’t sound like anyone is going to try to rectify this situation. We don’t have a legal system. We have a persecution system.
Someone needs to go to jail for this. I’m sick of these ghouls trashing the law to get what they want. I also want to see some of these judges removed.
The video of him walking the halls with capital police was seen a very long time ago. Wonder why his lawyer didnt bring it up sooner.....hmmmm!
Unfortunately no judge in D.C will grant an appeal no matter the evidence.
Yes, it’s ridiculous. They didn’t try to deter him or stop him...in fact they facilitated him and then prosecuted him for accepting the facilitation by authorities.
The prosecution almost certainly, and knowingly, withheld key discovery evidence. Isn’t this legally required PRIOR to the defendent making a plea agreement? If it is, he should be allowed to withdraw his plea. The prosecutor himself should be cited for misconduct and/or given the opportunity to request dismissal or downgrade of charges.
The question not asked by Tucker was Now what? What are you or his current legal team going to do about these videos?
They are not about rule of law.
But this is no longer a just world......
It’s time for ‘Law & Order’ conservatives to take a hard look at plea deals.
Why is he an “ex” lawyer of the Shaman?
Release every second of video to everyone. Do the same thing with ever voters registration file in the US.
Hey, Queen Nazi Pelosi and her accomplices the Capitol Police were just teaching everyone not to invade their castle.
Every DOJ attorney who even got near this case needs to be disbarred.
Every last one.

Hiding exculpatory evidence is grounds for appeal to overturn the verdict. It is grounds for prosecutorial misconduct. It is grounds for civil lawsuits on EVERYONE.
Go make your money Mr. Lawyer, and represent your client.
Get him the “F” out of prison!
