80 ‘Suspicious Actors’ and ‘Material Witnesses’ Under Scrutiny by Jan. 6 Defense Attorneys
The Epoch Times ^ | May 6, 2022 | Joseph M. Hanneman

Posted on 05/07/2022 6:04:44 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Defense attorneys are seeking to identify and investigate 80 suspicious actors and material witnesses, some of whom allegedly ran an entrapment operation against the Oath Keepers on January 6, 2021, and committed crimes including the removal of security fencing, breaching police lines, attacking officers, and inciting crowds to storm into the Capitol.

In a motion (pdf) and supplement (pdf) filed after 11 p.m. on May 5 in federal court in Washington, attorney Brad Geyer listed 80 people, some of whom he said could be government agents or provocateurs. The people are seen on video operating in a coordinated fashion across the Capitol grounds on January 6, the attorney alleged.

Geyer’s suggestion of an entrapment scheme will resonate with dozens of January 6 defense attorneys, coming shortly after two men were acquitted of an alleged plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D). There was a hung jury on charges against two other defendants. The jury in that case was allowed to consider FBI entrapment as a defense.

Geyer, who represents Oath Keepers defendant Kenneth Harrelson, is seeking a court order from U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta compelling federal prosecutors to help identify the individuals and disclose whether they were working for law enforcement or any government agency on January 6. Geyer wrote that the information is exculpatory, which compels the government to produce it. Other Oath Keepers defendants are expected to join in the motion.

Hopefully the truth will prevail. Unfortunately, justice can no longer prevail for the victims of government entrapment who have been wasting away in gulags for over a year.

That stupid Pelousy and her DemonRat buddies are chasing straws.

The DemonRats are chasing something that does not exist.

Great piece!!!

“Video shot by a French television crew, and surveillance footage under court seal raise “significant concerns of informants, influencers, and inciters whose activities are now clearly observable,” said a footnote in the motion.

Suspicious Examples
“The now observable behavior suggests the exact kind of specialized training, coordination, logistical support, timing, and common goals and objectives that the government attributes to the Oath Keepers,” Geyer wrote. “Conduct alleged against the Oath Keepers seems to have been perpetrated by others before the Oath Keepers were brought in front of the Columbus Doors.”

The new video evidence “not only exculpates defendant Harrelson and the Oath Keepers in compelling ways, it also shows a large group of SAs that actually carry out the crimes of which the Oath Keepers are accused and which is the centerpiece of the government’s case,” the motion said....”

Wow!!!! Oh please, God, expose the setup!!!

“Start with FBI Informant/Agent Ray Epps.’

He’s on video, instigating, over and over. More guilty than many of the Patriots charged. Direct proof!!!

And yet...”they” decided not to charge him. No plea deal, no arrest, nothing.

Why?!?

Can’t wait for January, when new Congress is sworn in. Will McCarthy allow MTG and Gaetz hold hearings? Question Wray? Or did the neocons already kill that idea by talking Trump out of insisting McCarthy resign as Minority Leader?

Any bets? I bet McCarthy folds. Maybe holds sham hearings, with some neocon in charge. But not actually allow true accountability.

You’re 100% right!
The GOPe etc will not allow the truth; they know what’ll happen to them and their families.
