December 10, 2022 - WASHINGTON – A Florida man was found guilty in the District of Columbia yesterday of felony and misdemeanor charges for his actions during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach. His actions and the actions of others disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress convened to ascertain and count the electoral votes related to the presidential election. Bradley Weeks, 44, of Macclenny, Florida was found guilty of five charges in total, including one felony. The verdict followed a bench trial before U.S. District Judge Thomas F. Hogan. Weeks was found guilty of obstruction of an official...

Nicolle Wallace: "THE GLORIFICATION OF INSURRECTIONIST ASHLI BABBITT" is a "malign movement." Wallace is one, cold, -----. Why doesn't Wallace start by telling us who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt?

Nicolle Wallace has let the Democrats' cat out of the bag regarding the January 6 hearings. Somebody should have told Wallace that she wasn't supposed to admit that the 1/6 hearings are fundamentally about giving the Dems a platform for the 2022 midterm elections. But Wallace couldn't help herself. On her MSNBC show this afternoon, after admitting that "this is absolutely political," she said: "I think the security questions of the Republican party as a domestic-terror threat should be front and center for the Democrats in these midterm elections."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

VIDEOWatch FBI Director Cristopher Wray answering questions from Senator Amy Klobuchar about the Capitol breach on January 6. When she points out how unprepared the FBI seemed to be despite the fact that all you had to be was a sentient being to know there would be problems there that day, Wray seems very oddly satisfied to the point of appearing to be almost giddy. A very strange reaction especially when compared the his extremely defensive attitude when he was questioned about FISA abuses by the FBI.

In a heated interview on CNN's New Day this morning, Joseph D. McBride, the lawyer for Capitol breach defendant Richard 'Bigo' Barnett—famously seen with his feet on a desk in Nancy Pelosi's office—condemned the conditions of detention for the defendants, labeling them "D.C. Guantanamo Bay," and repeatedly accused the authorities of "torture." Snide and smirking substitute host John Avlon took repeated shots at McBride, claiming that McBride's various arguments "make absolutely no sense," and are "utterly unbased in fact." In a parting shot, Avlon sanctimoniously said, "I had hoped you would have a more of a fact-based conversation with anything...

Who shot Ashli Babbitt, the pro-Trump Air Force veteran who was killed by police during the January 6 riot at the US Capitol building? The American people were told that it was a Capitol Police officer who fired the fatal shot. But Cockburn has stumbled across some information that points to a different explanation. Sources close to and within the intelligence community tell Cockburn that Babbitt was actually shot by a member of then-vice president Mike Pence’s protective detail. The VP’s detail, of course, is provided by US Secret Service, not the Capitol Police. One person asserted to Cockburn over...

Is Joe Scarborough sick, or simply driven by the desire for attention and ratings? The question arises after Scarborough, on today's Morning Joe, once again leveled what can only be described as an insane allegation regarding the Capitol breach. Said Scarborough: "Police officers were beaten and brutalized with American flags, had their heads shoved in the door by Trump terrorists, beat cops where, again, police officers, were sure they were going to die and were thinking about their four children and how they were going to take care of them. "But these Trump terrorists kept beating, battering and abusing them....

Of all ways to try to make his point, Scarborough foolishly chose to demean the importance of . . . taco stands?! He also worked in a transparent swipe at Fox News, engaging in a condescending attempt to school what he referred to as "idiots" and a "jackass" at "other cable-news channels." "I know there are idiots on other cable news channels that will say, well, this mom-and-pop store was vandalized during the summer riots, and that's just as bad as the United States Capitol being vandalized. No. No, actually, no. No, jackass, it's not. The Capitol of the United...

One of these days, someone's going to sue Joe Scarborough for slander, and win . . . Scarborough has an ugly habit of promiscuously calling Republicans killers. This past October, Scarborough insanely said of President Trump:"Nobody's ever done so much to kill so many people. That is correct. Nobody."Move over, Hitler, Stalin, and Mao. Scarborough's crowned a new apex killer. Back at his sick shtick this morning, Scarborough's target was Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri. Said Scarborough of Hawley: "You’re the person most responsible for a police officer being beaten to death. You’re the person most responsible for the...

Everyone's entitled to their fantasies, I suppose. Ben Ginsberg, a Republican election lawyer, fierce Trump critic, and CNN legal analyst, has his: a witness who would testify at the Senate impeachment trial that President Trump told him to storm the Capitol. Ginsberg twice shared his fantasy on CNN's New Day this morning. Asked whether he would call witnesses if he were a Democrat impeachment prosecutor, Ginsberg said his dream witness: "Would be someone who could testify that Donald Trump actually told them to go break into the Capitol or was part of that planning . . . someone who said,...

#WhitePrivilege is trending on Twitter and the reason why is insane. On a Monday court filing, lawyers for Jenny Louise Cudd requested the court’s blessing to travel to Mexico’s Riviera Maya from Feb. 18-21 for a prepaid “work-related bonding retreat” with her employees and their spouses. Cudd, a small business owner in Midland, Texas, is currently on pretrial release after being charged with two misdemeanor offenses, including entering a federal building without permission and engaging in disorderly conduct. Below there is a video from Cudd recorded inside the Capitol where she is saying they didn’t vandalize anything, then said they...

Yesterday, we caught MSNBC analyst and former FBI agent Clint Watts saying on Wallace's show that if Anwar Awlaki had said what Trump said, the result would be a "drone strike."Wallace took it an insane step further on her show this evening, saying: We had a policy, and it was very controversial, it was carried out under the Bush years, and under the Obama years, of attacking terrorism at its root, of going after and killing, and in the case of Anwar Awlaki, an American, a Yemeni-American, with a drone strike for the crime of inciting violence, inciting terrorism. ....

On Tuesday's Morning Joe, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough in effect accused Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) of murder. In a Trump-pleasing move, Hawley objected to the certification of Biden's Electoral College victory, which was then smeared into Hawley crying for deadly "sedition." I mean, he's one of those little -- I mean, but, but, he goes to Stanford and Yale and he uses it for evil. He uses it to kill Capitol cops. He uses it to start seditions against the United States of America. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Like a NASCAR winner doing donuts, the smoke must be pouring off the tires of Joe Scarborough's car. Because on today's Morning Joe, Scarborough pulled a screeching, rubber-burning, 180. Just last week, we noted Scarborough demanding that President Trump "be arrested today. He should be sent to jail today for insurrection." But on today's show, Scarborough suddenly changed course, warning against prosecuting President Trump. Said Scarborough: "My concern has always been, we go down this road, then we are criminalizing politics . . . Do we not have to keep that in mind. Do we not have to keep that...

Heaven forbid we should insult the people who burned and looted Minneapolis and numerous other cities across the country after the death of George Floyd! When Jonathan Capehart, on MSNBC's The Sunday Show, called the people who breached the Capitol "rioters," Dem Rep. Eric Swalwell responded: "That's insulting to rioters and generous to terrorists."
