Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2 It won’t just be Trump named in a Jan 6 indictment. DOJ/Smith love conspiracy charges and every conspiracy count—obstruction, seditious, etc—needs at least one co-conspirator. Prepare for lawyers, WH officials, campaign aides, and maybe GOP House members to be indicted, too. 11:22 AM · Jul 18, 2023

Federal investigators have reportedly seized the phones of advisors to 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump as part of an investigation into the events of January 6, 2021. According to the New York Times, the phones of Boris Epshteyn, described as "an in-house counsel who helps coordinate Mr. Trump’s legal efforts," and campaign strategist Mike Roman, who was director of Election Day operations for Trump’s campaign in 2020. The phones of John Eastman and Jeffrey Clark were also seized. Clark's phone was seized as part of an investigation into alternate electors. The action comes as Trump revealed on Tuesday morning that...

Here is Ron DeSantis full off-the-cuff response defending Trump vis-a-vis Trump's impending grand jury testimony: “Look, there’s a difference between being brought up on criminal charges and doing things. Like for example, I think it was shown how he was in the White House and didn’t do anything while things were going on. He should have come out more forcefully, of course. But to try to criminalize that, that's a different issue entirely and I think that we want to be in a situation where you don't have one side just constantly trying to put the other side in jail.”

Two civil rights organizations are launching a campaign to pressure state governments to disqualify former President Trump from appearing on ballots in 2024...The groups say secretaries of state are empowered by the 14th amendment to bar Trump from running for office because of the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection.

Pam Hemphill, who received a two-month sentence in federal prison for her involvement in the January 6 riot at the US Capitol, tells CNN's Gary Tuchman she was "brainwashed."

John Eastman, the Trump-allied lawyer who created a memo arguing that then-Vice President Mike Pence could overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 election win, is set to face disciplinary hearings starting Tuesday in Los Angeles. The counsel for the State Bar of California is asking a court to revoke Eastman’s license to practice law in the state. Eastman faces 11 disciplinary charges for allegations that he engaged in a plot to push a far-fetched legal strategy for Pence to overturn Biden’s electoral victory during the certification of Electoral College votes by a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6, 2021. Prosecutors alleged...

Special Counsel Jack Smith is quietly ramping up his January 6 case against Trump in Washington DC. President Trump last week was indicted by a grand jury in Florida hearing evidence in Jack Smith’s classified documents case. News of the Florida grand jury leaked to the media just days before Trump was indicted on 37 federal charges. In a separate grand jury in DC, Jack Smith is quietly continuing his investigation into January 6 and Trump’s efforts to challenge the 2020 election. Jack Smith is investigating the ‘dueling electors’ after the 2020 election, Trump’s role in January 6 and Trump’s...

Did Biden pressure Garland to prosecute Trump? We found it on tape. President Biden expressly said that he would use the full power of the United States government to ensure that former President Trump will not become the next president again. As the 45th president builds his legal defense to counter Special Counsel Jack Smith's Crime-Fraud Exception Strategy and have the case thrown out, the government's case could further fall apart if the Trump team can show that the DOJ is using selective, premeditated, biased, prosecution techniques to target him based on a presidential directive to achieve a desired result....

More than half of Republican voters support issuing pardons to those convicted of offenses during the January 6 riot at the US Capitol, a DailyMail.com/TIPP poll shows. Fully 54 percent of GOP voters support nixing the convictions of those who breached the Capitol in early 2021 - a policy that's been floated by Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis as they joust for the party's presidential nomination. Across all respondents, however, only 34 percent supported pardons for those who rioted that day, while 57 percent oppose the idea, according to our survey of nearly 1,400 adults. As many as 2,000 people...

The Democrat-led House Select Committee to Investigate Jan. 6 doctored a key piece of its evidence, adding audio to silent U.S. Capitol Police security footage used to create a dramatic video montage for the opening of its primetime hearings last summer, according to a Just the News review of the original raw footage and interviews. In at least two instances identified by Just the News, the panel's sizzle reel that aired live and on C-SPAN last June failed to identify that it had overdubbed audio from another, unidentified source onto the silent footage. Multiple current and former Capitol Police officials...

@ColumbiaBugle Rep. @mtgreenee Calls Out DC US District Attorney Matthew Graves For His Malicious Prosecutions Of January 6th Defendants Including Matthew Perna -Matthew Perna had no criminal record. -Peacefully entered the Capitol through an open door. -Stayed inside roughly 20 minutes and never assaulted anyone or damaged any property. Right before his sentencing DA Graves intervened and asked the Judge to delay the sentencing so they could seek more prison time for Matthew Perna. Two weeks later Matthew Perna committed suicide. He was 37 years old.

Former President Donald Trump said during his CNN town hall event Wednesday that he would likely pardon a “large portion” of those serving prison sentences for the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot if elected president.Wayne Beyer, a retired attorney from New Hampshire, asked Trump, “Will you pardon, then, January 6 rioters who were convicted of federal offenses?”“I am inclined to pardon many of them. I can’t say for every single one because a couple of them probably they got out of control,” Trump said.He then shifted focus to the militant progressive left, asserting “nothing” is done to Antifa radicals...

Peter Schwartz, age 47 and a Kentucky welder, served his country in the Army Reserve. He was indicted after he was accused of pepper-spraying officers during the Jan. 6 protest. He was arrested on Feb. 2, 2021, in Uniontown, Pennsylvania. Pete was with his wife when 30 agents assaulted him with flashbang grenades, armored vehicles, and more than 10 assault rifles aimed at his chest.“At no point did either my wife or I resist but we were both roughly handled and forced/dragged up the stairs after being shackled and handcuffed as we were shoved around,” Schwartz said.Last year, the DC...

A federal jury yesterday convicted four Proud Boys of participating in a seditious conspiracy aimed at keeping Donald Trump in office after Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election. Those verdicts, former federal prosecutor Dennis Aftergut argues in an MSNBC opinion piece, show that the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol was "an organized, violent uprising meant to overturn the 2020 election." According to Aftergut, "It's now established beyond a reasonable doubt that the Capitol siege was not spontaneous, but rather a planned assault by force on our democracy." There are a couple of problems with that characterization....

For years already, the Democrats and their media cheering section have harped on the “insurrection” on January 6, 2021, when hundreds of those supporting President Donald Trump flooded the U.S. Capitol to object to what they saw as a faulty election.Now, a retired newspaper editor and author of “What Matters Most: God, Country, Family and Friends,” is explaining why a thousand people have been accused of crimes and jailed, another thousand are predicted to face arrest, and the messaging continues unabated.

The lawyer who represented the 'QAnon Shaman' in his trial for storming the Capitol on January 6 has said that his client has been released from prison to a halfway house. Jacob Chansley, 35, pleaded guilty in September 2021 to civil disorder and violent entry to the Capitol, among other charges, and was sentenced to 41 months in federal prison.

A January 6th defendant is in trouble for “hobnobbing with conservative lawmakers”. The Government says Retired Army Captain Gabriel Garcia violated his pre-release conditions when he attended CPAC earlier this month. Garcia has been subpoenaed to report to a courthouse in Washington D.C on Monday for a status hearing. This comes after the pre-trial service office reported Garcia to his judge for violating conditions of his release after he attended CPAC. CPAC is an annual political conference attended by conservative activists and elected officials from across the United States and beyond. Garcia’s family is extremely fearful that Judge Amy Berman...
