6 Attorneys Allege DOJ Seeking Retribution Against Journalist for Recent Jan. 6 Coverage
Epoch Times ^ | 1/22/24 | Joseph M. Hanneman

Attorneys for a journalist threatened with prosecution for being at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, are challenging federal prosecutors to try his case outside the District of Columbia, suggesting prosecutors are seeking retribution for his recent reporting on possible Capitol Police perjury and the Jan. 6 pipe bombs.

Six attorneys who said they volunteered to represent Stephen Baker of Raleigh, N.C., released a statement on Jan. 22 expressing belief that the DOJ is seeking even more serious Jan. 6 charges as retaliation.

Mr. Baker, a former independent journalist, now writes for Blaze Media.

“We now have information that Steve’s reporting has so agitated officials in multiple federal agencies that an effort is now underway to find a basis to charge Steve with more serious crimes and to use those more serious crimes as a pretext for early morning raids to execute search and arrest warrants on him and his family,” the statement read.

“If this is true, and search and arrest warrants are used to drag Steve out of his house in the early morning hours someday soon, that will be evidence of retaliation against a journalist exercising his First Amendment rights to report information that is embarrassing to government officials.”

Parts (at least...) of the FBI and DOJ have gone rogue.

I’d submit the White House and the SCOTUS have also gone
rogue, completely ignoring Article IV Section IV of the
U. S. Constitution, also.

The Pelosi/Democrat coup on Jan. 6th 2021 has had a devastating effect on this country.
They have committed insurrection and they have succeeded.

It is hard to imagine such a large number of people are so evil, greedy, or power hungry to do what they are doing to our nation.

Feckless uniparty

Captured media and most tech info gatekeepers

Captured corporate hierarchy

Brainwashed generation after generation post boomers themselves who were worse than their parents and grands

mortgages and college tuition obsessed fat nation

We are the planets aligned scenario to be overcome without nary a shot fired

And if somebody lone wolf and angry does assassinate a notable in the lefts biz or media etc ranks

This forum will squeal loudly the horror of it same way they did when the Kansas baby killer PBA doc got dusted

Most folks simply don’t have the stomach for politics by other means anymore

But the opposition sure does

Look at Alex Soros and The Atlantic today

Musing about assassinating Trump and all they get are high fives

My ancestors and rabid John brown nat turner enabling abolitionists on the other side went to war over less

My ancestors it was just the fear of what if? As in what if millions of angry anarchic kill whitey just freed slaves are roaming Dixie Pell mell

The Massachusetts zealots it was pure do goodery

A million lives later at least

The left has taken at least that much from us in short order

And we just kvetch

No I don’t have answers

I hope they implode and the trump tourniquet wins

Not so many, but they get away with abuse of power, abuse of the legal system, and abuse of us. So far.

I imagine that China is extorting them.

Would like to see some links to Baker’s work. What facts did this little “brainwashed-white supremacist-conspiracy theorist-terrororist-master of disinformation” discover r.e. J6?
