Dad who carried Confederate flag into Capitol heads to trial

Widely published photographs showed Kevin Seefried carrying a Confederate battle flag inside the Capitol after he entered the building with his son, Hunter. The Seefrieds were “early, aggressive and active participants” in the Capitol breach and among the first rioters to enter the building on Jan. 6, 2021, prosecutors have said.

Father and Son: Statement of Facts
J6 Bench Trial Update:

U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden finds Kevin Seefried and his son Hunter GUILTY of 5 counts, including obstruction of an official proceeding.

Hunter acquitted of three counts related to a broken window.

Sentencings on Sept. 16 & 23 at 2 p.m.

Judge McFadden said he was convinced of Kevin Seefried's intent to obstruct the certification of votes by his decision to join a mob that made it to within feet of where members of Congress were sheltering + a threatening confrontation with USCP Officer Eugene Goodman.

Court document in Proud Boys case laid out plan to occupy Capitol buildings on Jan. 6

“The goal is to ensure there is an entry point for the masses to rush the building," states the nine-page document, titled “1776 Returns."

The nine-page document, filed in federal court Wednesday, lays out a plan to fill buildings “with patriots and communicate our demands." It's stated goals include maintaining control "over a select few, but crucial buildings in the DC area for a set period of time" and getting as "many people as possible inside these buildings."

It's stated goals include maintaining control "over a select few, but crucial buildings in the DC area for a set period of time" and getting as "many people as possible inside these buildings."
“1776 Returns” document

The document lists eight targets:

the Supreme Court,

the Russell Senate Office Building,

the Dirksen Senate Office Building,

the Hart Senate Office Building,

the Cannon House Office Building,

the Longworth House Office Building,

the Rayburn House Office Building,

and CNN.

When it's time for "patriots" to storm the buildings, individuals might have to cause "trouble near the front doors to distract guards," the plan states. "The goal is to ensure there is an entry point for the masses to rush the building."

 
Confidential FBI informant identified as W-1 told the Justice Dept that members of the Proud Boys, including Spaz — a reference to Dominic Pezzola — they “would have killed Mike Pence if given the chance”. Pence was in grave danger.

Do you need it read back to you?
Kaffee: Yes, Sir. Colonel, at the time of this meeting, you gave Lt. Kendrick an order, is that right?
Jessep: I told Kendrick to tell his men, that Santiago wasn't to be touched.
Kaffee: And did you give an order to Colonel Markinson as well?
Jessep: I ordered Markinson to have Santiago transferred off the base immediately.
Kaffee: Why?
Jessep: I felt his life might be in danger once word of the letter got out.
Kaffee: Grave danger?
Jessep: Is there another kind?

I saw this story a few days ago. This should be a bigger story. A Trump sympathizer has refused to certify an election because she feels the Dominion voting machines are fraudulent.

This is what they're planning for the 2024 election in swing states. Get the "right" people in charge and have them throw out legal votes they don't agree with. 

This may even warrant its own thread.

Change the "voter fraud" thread to "election fraud" and you're off and running in what becomes an actually useful thread :thumbup:

Jan 6 defendant Phil Weisbecker seeks leniency at sentencing...

Arguing he was fooled, because top Trump aides didn't speak up sooner to correct Trump's false election claims. Instead waiting for Jan 6 Cmte hearings to do so...

Weisbecker "stood no chance at truly grasping reality" (court transcript snip)

Weisbecker Statement of Facts
Philip Weisbecker wrote in a letter filed yesterday that he "entered the building like Ghandi" and noted that he and his host "left each other perfect reviews on Airbnb."

 
"Derrick Evans is in the Capitol!" he yelled. :headbang:

Derrick Evans has now been sentenced to prison for storming the Capitol... :kicksrock:

NBC News Article:

Former West Virginia lawmaker Derrick Evans, who livestreamed himself on Jan. 6, pleaded guilty to a felony charge and was sentenced to three-months Wednesday.

WASHINGTON — A former West Virginia legislator who stormed the U.S. Capitol on behalf of former President Donald Trump while livestreaming his felonious activity on Facebook was sentenced to three months in prison Wednesday.

Awesome name, I'll give him that. 

 
It really is a mystery why they keep arresting the Capitol rioters but not BLAMTIFA?!  So unfair.


It actually is total bs the ends they are going to to hunt down everyone in the Capitol while having the blinders on to far more violent and destructive acts.   But equal justice is not your strong point.  Screw the constitution.  Equal protection under the law is overrated.

Me, specifically? 

 
Back on topic, Donald Trump is a criminal who attempted a coup d'etat.  So sad that the Democratic leadership is so tone deaf that it forced Joe Republican to literally run to the polls to elect Trump based purely on anti-Hillary outrage.  Our national embarassment, and the final endictment of the two party system.  Idiot versus idiot, and no moderate leaders with decent moral fiber in sight.  My cheery thought for the day.

 
It will be fun watching the media being appalled at the violent protests at the Capitol which happened on J6 while celebrating violent protests happening outside the Capitol in the coming weeks.  

 
Seems to be an important difference here


The only difference is they actually have real barricades and a real police presence to prevent anyone from going inside.  Otherwise it is the same.  You have antifa outside trying to incite the crowd to burn down Capitols and court houses around the country.  They already have set s private residence on fire.  The distinction of being inside the Capitol is pathetic and arbitrary as leftist protestors in the past have broken into to the chambers of Congress and disrupted proceedings without getting sentenced to prison.  It makes me mad as hell that you guys want to criminalize activities on one side while encouraging nearly identical activities when done for causes you support.  That is fascism and bigotry.

Other than one being an act to disrupt a constitutuonally mandated proceeding and the other being  constitutionally protected freedom of of speech....same thing, I guess.

Haven’t looked at the physical setup but any crowd can outnumber the cops if they really want to. Just a numbers game. Then the cops must decide what to do when things become out of control.

Another and more important difference for me is the riots on Jan 6th were created by made up fantasies from the losing President because he can’t be viewed as a loser. These Roe protests are based in a right being taken away that the majority there have never lived without by a court that has been constructed with some dubious political manipulations.

You can count the times I have voted for a Democrat on one hand. There is a big difference between protesting an issue (whether you agree with it or not) and trying to overturn the results of a fair election.

A distinction without a difference.   Numerous protests have been made with the intention of disrupting 'constitutional' proceedings.  The dems tried to disrupt Trump's inauguration.  The difference was again simply real barricades and a real police force.  It is petty and arbitrary and I am sick and tired of leftist abusing the legal system with two distinct set of rules applied depending solely upon party affiliation.  GOP supporters are the nigros of the 1960s with how bigoted policies are enforced.  This type of disparity is going to lead to conflict.  We fought war, we had movements, we passed laws and ammendments to ensure all people are equal under the law.  And the Democrats continually flush those principles down the toilet.  It disgusts me.

Seriously?  That's where you are going with this?  I think some introspection would do you some good.

 
The ever elusive Antifa rears its ugly head again.
Straight, white, males in the US finally catching a break.  Gosh, life sounds so difficult for them.   Society has been telling them that using bigoted slurs is wrong and that's just not fair. During the pandemic you couldn't even go on social media and spread foreign propaganda designed to make things even worse costing even more lives or lies about the elections being stolen.  You can't even harass and make fun of people because of their sexuality or because they are mentally handicapped. They have free speech darn it and should be able to say anything they want without repercussion!  Everybody is so PC!! 

Now they finally have some power after all of these years of being victimhood. Forcing women to have an unwanted pregnancy while in some states simultaneously making it impossible to even get contraceptives is a good start.  Now, what can they do next?

Our great national nightmare may finally be over. The Supreme Court is finally allowing us to control the reproductive rights of women again. So sick of being prevented from controlling the lives of others by activist judges!
