As it turns out, J6 was a pretty bad day in American history, and a lot of gullible people are going to jail, along with a few unscrupulous and seditious traitors who think their opinion should overturn a free and fair election and the will of the people.
Shocking, I know…

Jan. 6 defendant Daniel Rodriguez plans to argue at trial that he was acting under Donald Trump’s authority.
Rodriguez admitted in an FBI interview that he tased Officer Fanone as he was being dragged through the Jan. 6 mob.
His lawyer tonight says the interview (which she appended to her filing) should be suppressed because he wasn’t properly Mirandized.
Key passage:
Question: Earlier, you told us you were in the tunnel, you were getting squished, and so you left the tunnel for about a half hour and came back, you had the taser in your hand, and you walked up and you tasered the officer once in the neck. And you did it because you felt like he was accosting Trump supporters, or patriots.
Rodiguez: No, I didn’t do it because I felt he was accosting Trump supporters or patriots. I just thought that he was going to get in… he was struggling. Like, they were pulling him out and I…
Question: He was struggling with who?
Rodiguez: Like, they were carrying him. They were, like, holding his arms and his legs and his feet. I don’t know who those people were. I…
Question: So why would you taser somebody that’s being carried?
Rodiguez: I guess…
Question: Danny, you realize you assaulted that man, right?
Rodiguez: Yes

The government has provided videos filmed by Capitol defendant Brian McCreary, who pleaded guilty.
Eight new videos entered into evidence…
These are really just more evidence of the violence and chaos of J6.
Hopefully, this video evidence will assist in the identification, arrest, and prosecution of more insurrectionists.

The trailer shows a lot of the violence and mayhem brought down on our Capitol by Trump Supporters.

Seems like there have been a bunch of defendants claim this, which is reasonable. How else would "stop the steal" blocks from the certification be interpreted?
Any idea how many people claimed that they were only doing what Trump wanted them to do?

”…stop rioters from attacking police.”

In weekend court filing, high-level Jan 6 defendant Thomas Sibick (accused of assault & theft from DC officer Fanone) again seeks release from jail--- indicating there's dissension and problems in the J6 wing of DC jail.
Defense says Sibick "volunteered" to go in the "hole"
Makes you wonder why someone would voluntarily go into solitary confinement.
Sounds like he is cooperating with Feds to save his on bacon…

Sounds like Mr. Sibick is cooperating. Although, we shouldn't assume so just because he might prefer solitary confinement to multi-person cell confinement. He could just be anti-social and just feels better when he doesn't have to interact with others. Who wouldn't want to feel better in jail if there is an option to attain that? It is irresponsible of us to conclude anything from his attorneys comments in court.

So, he was asked. Not subpoenaed. And supposedly wants to do it. I would bet that in agreeing to testify he is hoping that it will carry some weight with the judge at Friday's sentencing. It doesn't sound like he offered to testify prior to being asked but, he may catch a slight break in sentencing due to it. I wonder how many others will agree to testify if asked?

US Justice Dept recommends two months in jail for Jan 6 defendant Boyd Camper of Montana, who admits bringing his 10 y/o son w/ him to Capitol (leaving son behind w/ friend outside.)
Camper is military vet w/ criminal history, per feds.
Feds allege Camper claimed "several busloads of Antifa members, escorted by State Police, were brought to the Capitol to wreak havoc.”
And said, in TV interview, "We’re going to take this damn place. If you haven’t heard it’s called the insurrection act and we the people are ready.”

The Oath Keepers are known as a violent extremist group.
The above link is a Twitter thread by Issac Arnsdorf, a reporter/writer for ProPublica.
The thread starts out with a video of Oath Keepers forming a military style column, and heading through the crowd and up the stairs to the Capitol.
The author then mentions that he got an Oath Keepers membership list from an anonymous hacker.
It included 10 sitting state lawmakers, all GOP.
Those lawmakers are listed in the thread.

As more Jan. 6 defs face sentencing, judges are paying attention to how prosecutors/defense lawyers distinguish one from another.
Chief Judge Howell has ordered the govt to provide direct analysis on this in the case of Jack Griffith.
Feds are seeking 3 mos incarceration.
Griffith pleaded guilty to the parading count we've seen in most Jan. 6 plea deals so far.
In arguing for more time behind bars than in other parading cases, prosecutors focused on evidence of lack of remorse and making light of the court proceedings.

Troy SMOCKS, a black defendant who is being sentenced for making threats related to Jan. 6, is using his sentencing hearing to argue that he's being punished more harshly for his crime than white Jan. 6 defendants.
"Brandon Straka ... He was allowed to plead guilty to a class 3 misdemeanor with a $500 fine. Again, he’s a white guy. This is racism."
SMOCKS has been detained since January 15. He has an extensive criminal history. He's about to receive a sentence from Judge Tanya Chutkan.
SMOCKS claimed at start of his remarks that he's the only black Jan. 6 defendant currently jaled.
Chutkan quickly noted that she is presiding over the case of another black person, Mark Ponder, who was accused of assaulting Capitol police with a baseball bat.
CHUTKAN isn't having it. She says that Smocks encouraged the violent riot to stop the transition of power.
"Mr. Smocks now seeks to somehow compare himself and drape himself in the mantle of civil rights. I for one find that offensive ... that is a false equivalence."
CHUTKAN: "People died fighitng for civil rights...People were beaten, they were tortured mentally and physically. For you to hold yourself up as somehow a soldier in that fight is audacious."
SMOCKS gets 14 months.
Toughest Jan. 6-related sentence so far — for someone who didn't go into the Capitol.

It’s literally how Democracy dies. We are seeing it die right in front of us. It’s disgusting that anyone would be so one siding in their thinking that they’d rather burn the ship down than lose. Those who chuckle it off or cheer it on are culpable and they won’t even care. To them, it’s their country, and anyone who disagrees is an enemy of the(ir) country. They are simply too propagandized to fight for anyone but corporations at this point. They will cut their own throats to own the other side.

And yet you and your side said nothing went blm/antifa was running around burning down cities, attacking local state and federal buildings, murdering people and taking over city blocks.
As of today, Alec Baldwin has killed one more person than the entire combined people on 1/6. Blm/antifa is up to about 20 or 30 over that.

Do us a favour and assume we all know you don’t understand the significance of Jan 6 and that you continue to conflate it with the race riots. No need to post it for the 1000th time.
just sit back and watch the Q caucus get demolished in the coming weeks here. The rats are fleeing the ship.
