Hundreds of rioters have been charged, convicted and sentenced for joining the mob attack on the U.S. Capitol. Unlike their cases, Samuel Lazar’s appears to have been resolved in secret — kept under seal with no explanation, even after his release from prison.
Lazar, 37, of Ephrata, Pennsylvania, was arrested in July 2021 on charges that he came to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, dressed in tactical gear and protective goggles, and used chemical spray on officers who were desperately trying to beat back the angry Donald Trump supporters.
There is no public record of a conviction or a sentence in Lazar’s court docket.
Questions about Lazar’s case have been swirling for months, but the details of his conviction and sentence have not been previously reported.
The Justice Department has refused to say why the case remains under wraps, and attorneys for Lazar did not respond to multiple requests for comment from The Associated Press. The judge overseeing Lazar’s case in May rejected a request from media outlets — including the AP — to release any sealed records that may exist.

George Washington University criminal law professor Randall Eliason, who spent 12 years as a federal prosecutor in Washington, said he couldn’t remember any case during his Justice Department tenure in which a sentencing hearing and sentence were placed under seal. Eliason said it’s possible that “either there’s some kind of security concern about him personally, or maybe more likely that he’s cooperating in some respect that they don’t want the people he’s cooperating against to know about.”

I wonder how many of them were antifa or Burn Look Murder wearing MAGA hats and impersonating Conservatives? Want to bet all of them were detained and then released with no charges?

Secret trial? Just what the Constitution does not allow. But is the normal way of business in a totalitarian state.
Because they can. It is only a matter of time before we are openly executed. All Obama’s and Clinton’s enemies were executed in “robbery gone wrong” situations. But they now know they soon can openly murder us for all the world to see. Dark days ahead.
By opening doors and inviting them in.
AP in its' usual trajectory.
More Shenanigans, why are there people That’s still don’t see this.
The “chemical spray” he used on the officers was probably water. How could anyone prove differently?

18 Oct 2021: Lancaster Online: Federal judge finds Jan. 6 Capitol defendant (Samuel) Lazar a continued danger, keeps him locked up pending trial

LibertyCom Blog: Jon Farina
Covered many important stories in US during 2020 and 2021. Mostly known for my coverage at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 where I was live streaming on YouTube to 30,000 viewers for an outlet called Status Coup News. My footage from that day was seen by millions all over the world. By the winter of 2021, work was slow and it became extremely difficult to support myself in New York City as a freelancer. So I left my apartment and decided to go live in the forest in Pennsylvania. Got a job working at a ski resort for a few months. Then when Russia invaded Ukraine and a full on war broke out, I decided go to Ukraine to document. I flew into Hungary, then took a 15 hour train ride from Budapest to Lviv where I met 2 other journalists that I know from the states. We traveled to many cities in the country such as Kremenchuk, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, Poltava, Kyiv and Kharkiv. In Kharkiv is where we split and I was on my own. I was introduced to a group of volunteers who lived in the most dangerous district in the city that was under constant bombardment. I decided to go and live with them to document their lives and tell their story.

27 JAN 2021: Racket News: Meet the Censored: Status Coup
Silicon Valley is shutting down speech loopholes. The latest target: live content
by MATT TAIBBI
Farina’s footage rocketed around the world, and major press outlets celebrated his work as an example of hard-hitting reporting. CNN did a laudatory story about the freelance photojournalist, with Pamela Brown asking Farina to “bring us inside the mayhem.” Other outlets like USA Today quoted his recollections of that day, and the likes of Steven Colbert on CBS, as well as ABC News, NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, the Guardian, the Wall Street Journal, CNN, the New York Post, the Daily Mail, and others used it as fodder for outraged coverage of the riot.
On January 6th, Jon Farina, photographer and videographer for ***Jordan Chariton’s Status Coup outlet***, captured horrifying images. At the Capitol, a pro-Trump mob tried to burst into the building, and a police officer who attempted to intercede was caught in a door...
Farina, in the middle of the physical mayhem as photojournalists often are, caught the scene up close while 30,000 people watched the live feed...
***Formerly with The Young Turks, Chariton’s niche*** is national news from a left/progressive perspective, with special emphasis on the area where corporate outlets once had a near-monopoly, e.g. on-location production of images and reporting...

30 June 2023: Gateway Pundit: J6er and Antifa Member Jayden X, Who Orchestrated Utah’s ‘TERRIOTEST’ Plan to Storm the Capitol on January 6, Is Living And Working as A War Correspondent in Ukraine… NOT IN JAIL
By Alicia Powe
Jayden X, the architect of a “Terriotest” plan to storm the US Capitol on January 6 is working for the Ukranian Government as a war correspondent while other J6 defendants languish in jail and solitary confinement...
(John’s brother) James confirmed to this reporter that John is working as a war correspondent in Ukraine.
“Yes, he works for the Ukrainian government. He’s doing stuff over there. He’s been sending money over and supporting the different rebel groups and getting backers behind them,” James told The Gateway Pundit in an exclusive. “He periodically goes — he will go back and forth.”...

Wikipedia: Sarah Ashton-Cirillo
Ashton-Cirillo drew national media attention in 2021 when she released records of conversations from her time working with Republican candidates, documenting efforts to recruit members of the Proud Boys, a far-right group, for a planned “Brooks Brothers Riot” (alluding to the 2000 demonstration) as part of efforts to overturn the outcome of the 2020 United States presidential election. In 2022, she leaked a text exchange with the Republican nominee for Nevada Attorney General, which became a key controversy in that election.
Starting in March 2022, Ashton-Cirillo reported on the Russian invasion of Ukraine from Kharkiv, Ukraine, primarily for LGBTQ Nation, often writing about the war’s effect on LGBTQ people. A trans woman, she is thought to have been the first openly transgender war correspondent and the only transgender journalist covering the invasion. In Kharkiv, she worked closely with the Ukrainian military and police, and was appointed by the mayor of Zolochiv, Kharkiv Oblast, as a representative to advocate with aid groups...
In 2015, before her gender transition, Ashton-Cirillo went to Syrian refugee camps in Turkey to report on the refugee crisis, having been afraid to enter Syria itself...

In the video, shot on Jan. 6 hours after the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol, Lazar says,
"We maced 'em right the (expletive) back ... and now they’re taking the building.”
Ephrata Jan. 6 defendant Samuel Lazar out of federal prison; mystery surrounds case [update]
Good grief, why don't y'all at Anal Presstitutes put just a little bit more effort into using the appointed Joseph Goebbels the country’s minister for public enlightenment and propaganda tactics when buttering up the
BULL$}{!T Biscuit !!!
They play us for chumps
Interesting that Lazar is from Ephrata, Pennsylvania.
Ephrata is pretty small, planted amid the Amish and Mennonites, etc. Seems like it would be unnotable... except for this guy:
Michael D. Akers (born September 5, 1970 in Ephrata, Pennsylvania) is an American film director, producer, screenwriter and editor. In 2000, he founded “United Gay Network” (UGN) with his longtime partner, Sandon Berg. Most of his films are LGBT-related.[1]
Given that about 90% of Trump hatred seems to revolve around the mental problems of the LGTBQ activist crowd....I wonder if Lazar is a fan of Akers and into acting.
“So I left my apartment and decided to go live in the forest in Pennsylvania. “
What else are 5he forests of Pennsylvania noted for?
That Turkish ex pal of Erdogan that Hillary and so many Democrats are buddies with. That guy was based in the Poconos and ran a bunch of schools all around the country, and many are associated with military bases.
