In August 2022, President Trump reported that he believed the FBI stole his will during the Biden-endorsed raid on Mar-a-Lago. The FBI also stole 1,800 other items that were not documents that belonged to President Trump. This was not lawful or necessary.
It is also widely known at this point that Joe Biden who ordered the FBI access to Trump’s documents at Mar-a-Lago and President Trump’s personal belongings.
On pages 2-3 of the ruling Judge Cannon revealed that it was JOE BIDEN who ordered the FBI access to the Mar-a-Lago documents and President Trump’s personal belongings.
This was despite the Biden regime insisting they had nothing to do with the raid.
In September 2022, Joe Hoft at The Gateway Pundit reported that Chris Wray’s FBI created a fake crime scene at Trump’s home by adding their own documents to the scene and doctoring at least one photo. (more here).
The FBI created the crime scene, inserted their own documents, and then photoshopped the document. At the bottom of the photo provided to the court there is the number 2A, indicating that this was a crime scene photo as well as a type of tape measure across the bottom of the photo. The corrupt FBI threw the photos on the floor themselves. They staged this.
We know this because the containers were right next door. Had the FBI wanted to take a picture of the documents, they would have been placed on a table. Showing them as scattered across the floor is to indicate they were found this way, a lie we explain below. Also, the cabinets are right next to the documents, which is likely where they were stored. They weren’t stored on the floor.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Biden’s corrupt FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago was all a set-up. We reported this when it happened. Now we have more evidence.
It was all another set up from our totally corrupt DOJ and FBI.
This past weekend Judge Cannon redacted documents previously concealed to the American public.
The unredacted documents prove the raid on Mar-a-Lago was all a set up as we previously reported.
Julie Kelly reported on X that an entire pallet full of boxes that was held by GSA was later dumped at Mar-a-Lago. These boxes contained the papers with “classified markings.”
It was all a set-up.
So an entire pallet full of boxes that had been held by GSA somewhere outside of DC is dumped at Mar-a-Lago. Apparently these are the boxes that ended up containing papers with “classified markings.”

Based on the current evidence released:
…the federal government potentially shipped boxes of classified information from government storage to Trump at Mar-a-Lago, then charged him for possessing it, then rescinded his clearance after charging him?

But now political hitman Jack Smith may have finally pushed the envelope too far.
It appears Jack Smith committed the same criminal act as Biden’s Special Counsel as the criminal act Joe Biden’s DOJ is using to put January 6 defendants in prison.
Now reporter Andrea Widburg at American Thinker has noticed something missed by the legacy media and mainstream leftists — Hitman Jack Smith violated the same law that the Biden regime is using to jail J6 protesters for attending a rally and committing no violence!
Special Prosecutor Jack Smith has just admitted that he and other DOJ and FBI minions manipulated documentary evidence underlying the Mar-a-Lago case against Donald Trump. Everybody from Judge Aileen Cannon on down realizes this is bad. Still, I wonder how many people have noticed that Smith has admitted to doing what the J6 defendants are accused and have been convicted of doing: Violating 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2). The statutory charges against the J6 defendants are a specious abuse of the law but they perfectly fit Smith’s admitted conduct.
One of the main tools in the DOJ arsenal against anyone near the Capitol on January 6, 2021, is § 1512(c)(2), which the DOJ claims means imprisonment for a person who “corruptly…obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding…” That is what the DOJ claims happened when ordinary Americans (a) exercised their rights of free speech and (b) usually inadvertently, entered onto Capitol land after masked agitators had removed “no trespassing” signage and fencing and after the Capitol police had opened the building’s doors. The penalty is fines and/or imprisonment, with the latter potentially as long as 20 years…
…To imprison ordinary Americans, the DOJ came down hard on subsection (c)(2) of the statute because it contains the phrase “official proceeding.”
(c) Whoever corruptly—
[snip]
(2) otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so,
But while the DOJ is focusing everyone’s attention on subsection (2), they’re ignoring subsection (1):
(c) Whoever corruptly—
(1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding…
It reminds me of Smith’s admission to Judge Aileen Cannon about his and his minions’ handling of the documents seized from Mar-a-Lago, documents that then served as the basis for his decision to indict Donald Trump.

The hitman pushed too far.

The Biden regime is stepping up its relentless campaign of persecution against those who attended the January 6th protests, arresting people at double the rate they have over the past three years.
The Epoch Times reports that according to the Department of Justice’s monthly update, 1424 people have been arrested in connection with their attendance on that day:
Nearly 1,425 people have been arrested on Jan. 6 charges, with 2024 arrests running at almost double the rate from 2023 and 2022, a U.S. Department of Justice report shows. Through close of business on May 3, the FBI has arrested 1,424 suspects in the 40 months since the breach and violence at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, the DOJ reported in its monthly update.
That includes 159 people who were arrested during the first four months of 2024, nearly double the 83 arrested during the same period in 2023 and the 85 arrested in the same period in 2022, DOJ records show. The FBI has made 391 Jan. 6 arrests since May 2023 and 614 arrests since May 2022, according to DOJ data.
Such an acceleration of arrests are a clear sign Biden regime’s determination to arrest and convict as many people as possible before the end of the year, knowing that if Donald Trump returns to the White House those investigations will be halted and pardons will be issued to some or all of those involved.
Last month, the leftist media site RawStory ran a piece warning that “time is running out” to arrest all the necessary people before the end of the year. The outlet spoke with so-called “sedition hunters” who have helped the FBI identify and persecute as many people as possible.
“There’s a 50-50 chance that if you went to J6 and committed a crime, you’re not going to get arrested,” one sedition hunter was quoted at saying.
Trump, meanwhile, recently said that pardoning the January 6th prisoners will be one of his first acts upon taking office.
Let’s hope and pray Trump returns to office before the Biden regime drives another J6 protester to suicide.
“My first acts as your next President will be to Close the Border, DRILL, BABY, DRILL, and Free January 6 Hostages being wrongfully imprisoned!” he wrote on Truth Social last month.

A Texas deputy who was fired from her job for attending the January 6th protests will receive a whopping settlement after she sued the county for wrongful termination.
According to The Forth Worth Star-Telegram, former Bexar County Lt. Roxanne Mathai was a “passionate supporter” of Donald Trump and had traveled to Washington to attend the ‘Stop The Steal’ protests.
She uploaded photos of the event to social media as protesters entered the Capitol building, although she did not enter the building herself
After returning to San Antonio, Sheriff Javier Salazar launched an investigation into her conduct and eventually fired her from the role that she held for nine years. It later emerged that he had campaigned for Joe Biden during the 2020 presidential election.
Mathai responded by suing the county and Sheriff Salazar for wrongful termination, citing violations of her First and 14th Amendment rights. The case was settled this week and she will receive a hefty $400,000 in damages.
“Commissioners Court on April 9 approved turning over the $100,000 deductible amount required under its policy to a private insurance carrier to take over the defense and resolution of the lawsuit and the insurer agreed to pay the remaining $400,000 settlement amount to Mathai to resolve the pending lawsuit,” a Bexar County spokesperson told McClatchy News.
Despite costing the counts hundreds of thousands of dollars, Sheriff Salazar insisted he had made the right call. “The termination in this case was done within policy and was upheld by an arbitrator,” he said in a statement. “The decision to issue a settlement was made outside the BCSO. There was no wrongdoing on the part of the administration, and I stand by our actions.”
Such a story is sadly a rare beacon of light in the fight for justice for January 6th protesters. On Wednesday, The Epoch Times confirmed suicide of defendant on the death of David Homol, 55, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound months after the Biden regime hit with him eight separate charges.
Four other defendants, Matthew Perna, Jord Meachum, Mark Aungst, and Chris Stanton have also taken their own lives. May they rest in peace.

Another J6 defendant has tragically taken his own life.
Per the Epoch Times: January 6 defendant David Homol, 55, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head on April 17.
David Homol was arrested by Biden’s FBI Gestapo agents in January 2024 – 3 years after the Capitol protest – and hit with 8 charges.
Homol is at least the 5th January 6 defendant to commit suicide after being indicted by Biden’s Justice Department.

Per the DOJ: David Kennedy Homol, 55, of Umatilla, Florida, was charged in a criminal complaint filed in the District of Columbia with felony offenses of obstruction of an official proceeding, civil disorder, and assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers.
“In addition to the felonies, Homol is charged with several misdemeanor offenses, including knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or ground, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and act of physical violence on Capitol grounds,” the DOJ said in January.

Four other January 6 defendants committed suicide following merciless harassment by Biden’s DOJ. Among these were Matthew Perna, Jord Meachum, Mark Aungst, and Chris Stanton.
The intense scrutiny, public shaming, and legal pressures have created an unbearable environment for those awaiting trial or serving sentences, which contributed to a sense of hopelessness and isolation, ultimately leading to tragic outcomes.
Matthew Perna, a non-violent Trump supporter who was arrested after January 6, committed suicide. He was never accused of violence or vandalism. He walked inside the US Capitol.
Newly released Jan 6 footage shows Matthew Perna calmly walking through the Capitol alongside police.
Matthew Lawrence Perna (June 1984 — Feb. 2022)
22-year-old Nejourde Meacham died on August 28, 2021, two weeks after the Biden regime charged him with four misdemeanor crimes for walking inside the open doors of the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. The young man committed suicide and shot himself in the head.
Jord Meacham (June 2001 — August 2023)
Mark Aungst (May 1975 — July 2022)
January 6 defendant Mark Aungst, 47, from Williamsport, Pennsylvania committed suicide on July 2022. Aungst pleaded guilty in June 2022 to parading in the Capitol and was facing up to six months in prison and a $5000 fine.
Christopher Stanton Georgia (Died on Jan. 9, 2021)
53-year-old Christopher Stanton Georgia committed suicide after he was charged in the Capitol riot, according to the Fulton County medical examiner. Chris was found with a gunshot wound to the chest and died by suicide
Georgia was charged with attempting to “enter certain property that is, the United States Capitol Grounds, against the will of the United States Capitol Police.”
Rest in Peace, Patriots.

This past week, J6 political prisoner Jake Lang passed 1,200 days of incarceration without a trial. This is Joe Biden’s America.
Lang spoke with The Gateway Pundit in an exclusive interview and shared that languishing in pre-trial detention for years with no end in sight “feels like ‘an eternity.”
A protest is planned for today at the MDC Brooklyn Federal Prison in New York at Noon Eastern and will be livestreamed on Rumble here.

The post Watch Live 12:00 pm ET: J6 Freedom Ride-Horseback Protest Planned for J6 Political Prisoners (Livestream) appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
Mason Courson went to Washington, D.C., on Jan 6, 2021, to stand and listen to his President speak, with no ill intent. Unfortunately, the 27-year-old, who was born and raised in South Florida, found himself in a situation he never imagined.
Mason excelled academically and athletically, including playing college football. He loves reading and history. Mason is proud of his Cuban roots and immigrant maternal grandparents, who were honored to become US Citizens.
Mason was held without bond by the Biden administration. And he is unable to support his 4-year-old son, whom he had a month before he was arrested.
In June, District Judge Rudolph Contreras sentenced Mason Courson to 57 months in prison, three years probation, and a $2,000 fine for the felony charge of “assaulting, resisting, or impeding a law enforcement officer with a dangerous weapon.”
Mason is a victim of the Biden regime. Compare his actions to the actions of thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters this past week!
This is the definition of judicial abuse. A young man with no criminal background was sent to prison for nearly five years for his actions on January 6 after lawless police opened fire with exploding gas canisters and rubber bullets on innocent protesters outside the US Capitol.
This only happens to conservatives. And so now Mason sits behind bars for several years.
Mason’s mother, Angie, wrote to The Gateway Pundit to share her perspectives and experiences during these trying times.
Dear Gateway Pundit Family,
I am Angie. The mom of J6er Mason Courson. I still wake up some days, the days I can actually sleep, and I am in disbelief our lives are what they are today. That my son has been held prisoner for over 875 days now. That he, like many others, was made an example of. Their lives temporarily ruined. Some had their lives permanently ruined because some lost their lives that day.
A day that was planned by THEM so that people in the future would fear standing up for what they believed in. They wanted to show us all that you can do just about anything you want these days. You can steal, murder, threaten, and destroy property with no consequences as long as it fits their narrative.
But, whatever you do, do not go against their agenda, especially wearing a MAGA hat. If you do, then you will have exaggerated and unjust consequences. So, fall in line, be sheep, and you will not be bothered. You see, if we all just remain silent, THEY can do whatever they want. Thankfully, we so-called Patriots are not that kind. We stand for what is right and what is good. We believe in God and fear only him. We will not be silenced. And my son has lost years of his life, years of his life with his son, years he will never get back, because of this.
Our journey started December 14, 2021, when I received a call from my son saying, “Mom I am being arrested, not sure for exactly what, I think it’s for being at the Capitol January 6th. They asked me if I was there.”
And the rest is history.
He had the typical J6 arrest like so many have shared. You know, bang on the door early morning, several lasers pointed at his head and chest when he opened the door to many SWAT vans, city police, county sheriffs, FBI, and so on. Disrupted an entire neighborhood, people outside half asleep, confused, and afraid, all to make a TRUMP supporter look as bad as they possibly could, especially for going to DC on that infamous day. I mean, countless law enforcement geared up?
But, I see what THEY were trying to do here. My son apparently was more dangerous and they needed all of that reinforcement and waste of tax dollars to arrest a young man who would have turned himself in. They almost all would have, no need for any of this, except the theatrics to make it seem like they had just scored one of America’s most wanted. A terrible attempt to humiliate a TRUMP supporter.
Quick point, you can yell “Death to America” in Michigan and not be a threat or considered a domestic terrorist, or even kill an innocent boy, Cayler Ellingson in North Dakota for example, because he was a young Republican, and be allowed to bail out of jail while you await your trial, even though you intentionally rammed your car into a group of teenagers, with intent to harm them, and took one of their lives. But, I suppose they aren’t threats to society? OK got it. I just wish more Americans understood what is really happening here and more would spread awareness and stand up against this evil.
** Please help Mason here.
From there it was Broward County jail, to Federal Court for bond hearings. Denied bond because, apparently, even though they identified him on May 2, 2021, and waited 7 months to arrest him, he was a threat to society and an insurrectionist. From there to another county jail in Broward, FCI Miami, the way center almost all J6ers go to in Oklahoma, Northern Neck in Virgina, where he spent the most time and was the worst of all jails J6ers have been in, FCI Lewisburgh Medium, DC Gulag, to another facility in Virgina, then Atlanta, then finally his destination in Florida at Coleman Low. Exhausting isn’t it?
Try that with no sleep, in shackles, hunched over, while being verbally abused every time you are transferred. Coleman is where he will spend the remainder of his time as he completes his sentence. Deciding to take an open plea, pleading guilty only to the charge of impeding, regardless of what was said by the media, he never pled guilt to assault and still stands by his innocence, that he not only never assaulted an officer that day but he never assaulted anyone that day. He was still found guilty on all charges and sentenced to 57 months. All of these men have had sentences given to them that are longer than they should be for the crimes they have been convicted of. Again, this is a ploy to have all J6ers made an example of. To keep instilling fear in Americans, the ones that actually love this country at least. To sit in a courtroom with your child on the opposite side, wearing orange because he was not allowed to clean up, shave, or wear a suit. To hear the United States of America vs Mason Joel Courson? Debilitating. It lets you know right away you are up against the biggest beast there is. No one is winning against them. Especially when every picture they have of you has you in a TRUMP hat. This can not be the America we love so much.
When that day was over Mason said he actually felt relieved. He explained to me that he at least had an end date and could now just concentrate on passing the time with a goal in sight and getting home. He said he could not sit there being angry and depressed because that’s what THEY want. They want all of our J6ers to fall apart, and he refused to do that. After his long journey to Coleman Low, he remembers getting out of the van and feeling the Florida sun and thinking to himself, ‘I am finally back home in Florida.’ It was his first sign of hope, he was at last back in his home state that he loves so much.
There were so many days I thought something horrible happened to him. Well, something horrible had happened to him, but I mean in reference to his safety, his life. No calls, no communication, nothing. Threats to his life from other inmates, constantly being singled out, looking over his shoulder constantly. Me, glued to my phone like never before and in a whole different way. If I missed a call, I would literally cry. Waiting over a year to see him, and now I still count the days in between visits. I know at all times the exact number of days he’s been gone and how many we have left to go before he’s home. The constant stress and anxiety over finances, commissary needs, and money for travel expenses to and from visits. I have extended the length of time in between visits because of financial reasons. To hear Mason say that when we are there it is the only thing that brings him any happiness and when we tell him the date of our next visit it is what keeps him going, and me knowing I have to keep extending the visits is heartbreaking. During the last visit, he said to us that he was ready to be home. He’s over it. He is in prison for something that he did not do. He said can you imagine how many men sit in jail convicted of things that they did not do, and they sit helpless. Just horrific and horrible.
** Please help Mason here.
I want to state that I feel a tremendous amount of guilt that I feel the way I do when I have a son who is alive and healthy. He is, and will be, stronger than ever. He will be home, will rebuild, and is looking forward to starting his life over. I know that not all those who went to the Capitol that day can say the same. For their families and their souls, I pray that at some point there is enough peace to go on advocating and remembering what their loved ones would’ve wanted. I can not imagine how horrific their lives have been as I know how hard mine has been. Mason could have easily been in one of their shoes. I thank God every day we still have him with us.
We are grateful for anyone who reads about Mason, who keeps in touch, who donates, who cares about him. I have found more love from strangers and more understanding than I have with some very close to me. I have suffered losses, I have grown thicker skin, and have the ability to let go and spot BS a mile away. There have been some positives out of this. I am awake, wide awake, and have never been more proud to stand on the right side of this. Never stay quiet, and always stand strong. We are God fearing, moralistic people, and THEY cannot stand any of that.
Mason said it many times over and I remind him always…He, along with these men and women held, were chosen. There is a purpose for them. They are among the strongest. They are the examples. They were meant to be broken but are more inspired. My son is my hero. With every single long day that passes, his strength amazes me more and more.
God Bless you all and God Bless America.

Biden-appointed DC US Attorney Matthew Graves told a federal judge on Monday that Leo Brent Bozell, son of Media Research Center’s Brent Bozell, deserves 12 years prison time for charges related to January 6.
Brent Bozell, a prominent conservative, openly criticizes Joe Biden and George Soros. Now the Biden Regime is gunning for his son with terror enhancement charges.
Busted: George Soros is the man behind a "journalism institute" that is blacklisting conservative media organizations. Typical radical left dishonesty. Fake media rides again! https://t.co/InlIgvwEpS
— Brent Bozell (@BrentBozell) May 2, 2019
Last year Leo Bozell, 44, was convicted of all 10 charges, including six felonies and four misdemeanors related to his role in the January 6 Capitol protest.
US District Judge John Bates, a George W. Bush appointee convicted Bozell without a jury.
Prosecutors allege Bozell “joined a mob” and broke through several police lines on January 6, 2021. He smashed open a Senate window before making his way to Pelosi’s office.
Bozell was reportedly in the US Capitol for an hour before leaving.
Leo Bozell’s attorneys deny he pushed through police lines and argued he was “lost and wandering” around before exiting the Capitol building.
“In fact, video evidence will show that Mr. Bozell assisted in some small way law enforcement officers that he thought could be helped by his assistance,” Bozell’s attorney William Shipley argued in a pre-trial court filing last year.
Matthew Graves added a ‘terror enhancement’ and sought 12 years prison time in his sentencing memo.
“A sentence of 140 months is fully justified by his actions,” the Biden Regime prosecutor wrote.
As calls grow for the resignation of DC US Attorney Matthew Graves for failing to keep DC residents safe, the Biden appointee wants son of Brent Bozell to spend 10+ years in prison related to Jan 6.
This includes seeking a terror enhancement to his sentence.

This past week J6 political prisoner Jake Lang passed 1,200 days of incarceration without a trial. This is Joe Biden’s America.
Languishing in pre-trial detention for years with no end in sight “feels like ‘an eternity,’” Lang told The Gateway Pundit in an exclusive interview.
“If not for God, I never would have made it this long as a POW,” he said.
Lang was apprehended by the Federal Bureau of Investigations on Jan. 16, 2021, for his alleged role in the Capitol riot.
He went to the Capitol intent on peacefully protesting and ended up saving lives.
In footage from the scene that day, Lang was seen pulling Phillip Anderson and Tommy Tatum, off the ground while they were being trampled and carrying them to safety as police indiscriminately fired on the crowd with rubber bullets, tear gas, and flash grenades and beat even the most peaceful demonstrators to a bloody pulp with nightsticks.
Jake told The Gateway Pundit this past weekend, “They basically removed the voices of dissent from the Brooklyn federal prison and took us both and put us in a solitary primate chamber on the rooftop of the prison here.”
It’s the same goal that they have in mind for President Donald Trump. If I could see their wish for President Trump it would probably be something like wearing the same pair of underwear for over a week without them giving you clean underwear and an extra pair of socks or shampoo or bath towel to dry yourself with. These are the living conditions that, you know, are basically in store for any political dissident in America today or for Trump supporters.
“I’m just at my 1,200 day mark, if you can believe that. I just passed 1,200 days incarcerated without a trial, without being afforded the right to have bond or mail. Even though we filed twice and were rejected.”
“My legal team and I have now filed a lawsuit. It’s called a habeas corpus motion. It’s a lawsuit against Merrick Garland and the Brooklyn NPC prison here and assistant warden and the warden basically alleging, which is true, that they’ve been violating my constitutional rights and my human rights and I’m being tortured. And you know, this has been going on for three weeks now. The first two weeks of solitary, I was by myself and now they just added Ryan Samsel. So we’re fighting back. We’ve got a habeas corpus motion before the court right at my 1,200 day mark. So we’re not stopping.”
“I think we all in the January 6 community are kind of just sitting back and wondering when this will stop. When will the Republicans in Congress make a real stand for us? When will the Speaker of the House call together a new January 6 committee and let January 6ers such as myself go and tell our story?”
“We are praying for a Trump victory, when we know that the Democrats are up to the same nefarious scam, the mail-in voting. You know, the scam that they did and everything they did in 2020. We have to use every means at our disposal. So, you know, definitely, we are calling upon the Republicans in Congress to put the checks and balances in place against the Bureau of Prisons that’s torturing us, against the US Marshals whose are complicit in our torture and solitary confinement and lack of basic human sustenance that they’re providing us here. Congress needs to put a check on these federal abuses of power.”

in April the House Subcommittee on Oversight held a hearing with National Guard whistleblowers who stepped forward to correct the media lies and dishonest narrative by Democrats on the January 6 protests and riots.
Four members of the National Guard testified that they were ready to be deployed on January 6 but THE PENTAGON held them back!
This directly brings General Milley’s actions into question!
Kash Patel tipped us off last month that there were more reports like this coming.
National Guard whistleblowers: Command Sgt. Major Michael E. Brooks, Colonel Earl G. Matthews, Aaron Dean Retired, and Captain Timothy Nick stepped forward and testified before Congress to correct the record on January 6.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser were both warned about the security situation prior to January 6th, and both turned down National Guard troops at the US Capitol that day.
Pelosi and Mayor Muriel Bowser turned down thousands of National Guard troops at the Capitol on January 6 for political reasons.
Chris Wray’s FBI also refused to notify the Trump administration and his cabinet secretaries that they believed there could be violence like the mass protests at the Capitol that took place that day.
Nancy Pelosi also refused the National Guard at the US Capitol due to politics.
Capitol Police Chief Steve Sund said he asked House and Senate security officials for permission to request that the D.C. National Guard be placed on standby in case he needed quick backup. But they both turned him down.
John Solomon from Just The News released an explosive report in 2022 that revealed Capitol Police were first warned about possible violence at the January 6th protests TWO WEEKS before the planned rallies.
Pelosi, Mayor Bowser, and other government officials turned down the National Guard anyway. It is clear they were counting on an “insurrection” to blame on President Trump when they were the ones who allowed the violence to occur and continue that day!
But now there is more disturbing news on the military leadership on January 6th.
According to Colonel Earl Matthews, who testified before Congress in April, US military leaders revoked President Trump’s Commander-in-Chief powers that day and refused to move in the National Guard – because it might look bad.
These military leaders should have been arrested and court martialed.
The Daily Mail reported:
Donald Trump’s authority as commander-in-chief was ignored by senior military leadership on January 6, 2021, claims the chief legal advisor for D.C. National Guard on that day.
Colonel Earl Matthews came forward as a whistleblower to the House subcommittee reviewing the January 6 Select Committee’s investigation.
He sat down with DailyMail.com two weeks after the public hearing to explain what he saw happen that day.
He claims that Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time, and then-Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy, were plotting to disobey any orders handed down by Trump because they ‘unreasonably’ assumed the then-president was going to break the law and try to use the D.C. National Guard (DCNG) to stop certification of the 2020 presidential election results.
A lot has been made about the breakdown in military and administration communication when it came to the timeline of deploying DCNG to the Capitol.
But Matthews claims senior military leadership was solely focused on getting the heat off of them and putting it back onto Trump.
The Select Committee on the January 6 Attack, Matthews claims, was more than happy to lean into this narrative and blame the entire ordeal on the then-president.
But Matthews says that senior military leadership essentially stripped the president of his authority as commander-in-chief by preemptively planning to go against orders because they didn’t like the optics of uniformed soldiers at the Capitol.
‘I think a very plausible argument can be made that through no fault of his own, President Trump’s command authority over both the D.C. National Guard and the U.S. Army itself had been surreptitiously curtailed by the senior leadership of the Army on January 6, 2021,’ Matthews told DailyMail.com.
He continued: ‘Army leadership had unreasonably anticipated an ‘unlawful order’ from the President, an order that the President had no plans to issue, and were preemptively seeking to curtail his discretion to issue such an order.’

A former government official has been charged with making multiple false statements implicating his former colleagues in the January 6th Capitol event, according to court documents.
Miguel Zapata, a former government official, was arrested Thursday and has been accused of misusing the FBI’s anonymous tip website.
Special Agent Cole Ashcraft, who is assigned to the FBI’s Washington Field Office Cyber Task Force, indicated that the false statements were made between February and April 2021 through the FBI’s online tip portal.
The agency began scrutinizing these tips after noticing similarities in their wording and the dates they were submitted. Investigations linked the submissions to IP addresses owned by a service that provides anonymous web access, eventually tracing them back to Zapata.
Zapata allegedly submitted false claims suggesting that various government employees and contractors, some of whom are affiliated with an unnamed intelligence agency, were involved in or supported the events of January 6.
Zapata’s tips included accusations that these individuals were physically present at the Capitol during the protest, participated in violent actions, or shared classified information with protesters to help them overthrow the U.S. government.
He accused former colleagues of connections with groups such as the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys.
The FBI’s investigation revealed that all individuals named by Zapata were verifiably elsewhere during the events of January 6, primarily at work in Virginia, thus debunking Zapata’s claims.
The detailed probe included interviews with the accused individuals and examination of their electronic footprints, which showed no participation or presence at the Capitol during the riot.
Here are the excerpts from the seven false tips that Zapata submitted to the FBI between February and April 2021 according to the affidavit:

Zapata is charged under 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2) and (3), laws that criminalize knowingly making false statements in matters within the jurisdiction of the federal government.
According to abc News, Zapata “has not yet entered a plea and was released on bond following a hearing before a federal magistrate judge in Washington, D.C.”

Joe Biden on Friday awarded 19 Americans with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
“The diverse group of recipients ranged from political trailblazers like Reps. Nancy Pelosi and Jim Clyburn to activists like Opal Lee and Judy Shephard as well as Olympic swimmer Katie Ledecky and Oscar-winning actress Michelle Yeoh.” ABC News reported.
“Today we have another extraordinary honor to bestow the nation’s highest civilian artist of mine to 19 incredible people whose relentless curiosity, inventiveness, ingenuity and hope have kept faith in a better tomorrow,” Biden said heavily slurring through his remarks.
Biden gave Nancy Pelosi a Medal of Freedom for her actions on January 6, 2021.
“She used her superpower to pass some of the most significant laws in our nation’s history,” Biden said. “On January 6, Nancy stood in the breach defending democracy … Nancy is a brilliant, practical, principled and determined leader.”
What a joke!
Back in December 2022, The Gateway Pundit reported that House Republicans had collected emails and text messages implicating Pelosi in the failed January 6 Capitol security operation.
Recall, it was President Donald Trump who recommended 10,000 National Guard troops at the US Capitol on Jan. 6. Pelosi turned him down.
It was never Trump’s fault. It was always Pelosi’s fault.
She was too busy lining up the film crews who were going to come to film her that day. She had that set up beforehand as if she knew something big was going to be taking place.

James Robert Elliot Sr., Jim Bob, was sentenced to more than three years in prison, four months of supervised release, and ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution to the Architect of the Capitol for being in DC on January 6th to protest.
Amidst the chaos of that day, as police fired rubber bullets and gas indiscriminately into the crowd, Jim Bob did what he could to help his fellow patriots by treating minor wounds, washing eyes, helping to keep people from getting trampled, and leading others to safety.
Jim Bob, who is the father of five-year-old twins, recently wrote to The Gateway Pundit.
To my Fellow Patriots,
My name is James Elliott Sr. I am a devoted husband to my wife Jessica and a loving father to my twin 5-year-olds, James Jr and my sweet Annabelle. I am the oldest of six kids with a mother and father who have been nothing but supportive.
Over the years, my father, Mike, and my mother, Cindy, forged my siblings and me with a strong work ethic, noble Christian values, and a faith as strong as iron with enough Patriotism to match. So now here I am, 26 years old with a beautiful wife and 2 crazy kids of my own, but I’m locked in a prison in Kentucky, stolen from my loved ones, all ultimately because of my political beliefs.
At this point, my story isn’t an unheard-of one. I went to DC because of many reasons. I believe the election was stolen. I believe the Bidens are a corrupt family, and many of us saw the disaster of his Presidency WELL before he took office. Like many other J6ers, I got caught up in the chaos, and though all of my decisions were, I believe, made with the best intentions, not all of my decisions were the best ones. However, I was able to help protect MANY other Patriots there, treating minor wounds, washing eyes, helping keep people from getting trampled, and leading others to safety.
**Please help Jim Bob here.**
I was shot with rubber bullets, pepper sprayed, tear gassed, and flash banged, and even got hit in the noggen with a tear gas canister. All while trying to aid those around me. The NEWS and liberal media smeared me after my arrest in December of 2021, being called an “extremist,” a “domestic terrorist,” “a racist,” “a violent threat to my community,” and so many other hot-button words we have all heard to the point of exhaustion.
I’m a tow truck driver for a company just outside of Chicago and did my utmost best to be an upstanding member of my society and my community, doing my best to support not only my family but also to help support my parents’ household as well while my father fights many health issues, issues extending from his fight with stomach cancer.
I have no criminal history, not even a speeding ticket to my name, and yet here I am, 37 months in federal prison, locked in with drug dealers and sex offenders because we stood in defiance. We are guilty of the ultimate crime of disagreeing, standing, and together saying, “No, I do not accept your lies. Recount that vote,” and they have stolen 3 years of my life for it.
**Please help Jim Bob here.**
I have lost a lot since the start of this: the money my wife and I had saved, the small amount of faith I had left in the system, even my Patriotism took a huge hit, but most importantly, I have lost time. The time I have been forced away from my wife and kids that I will never get back is a hole in my heart.
No father should have to hear his daughter say, “Don’t you even like us anymore Daddy?” No little girl should have that fear. Or to have my son ask, “Why can’t you come home, Dad?” No son should know that doubt.
Trying to dispel that kind of fear is hard in person let alone over a phone call… My children turned 5 on February 7th, this is such an important time in their lives. They have already grown so much in the 8 months I’ve been away, and here I sit, being a father over the phone for 15 minutes a night before I have to put my stripes back on and continue the fight to get back home. I miss them so badly. They are so young still, but I pray that even though they don’t understand yet, I hope one day, they will see what I have done and be proud of me.
I’m so grateful for the love and support of my beautiful wife, and I pray that my family can stay strong and know that we are all in God’s hands and that this is all happening for a reason.
I pray for my fellow J6ers and their families, and I pray for our country.
America and her people aren’t done fighting yet.
Thank you for reading me ramble on for a while.
Thank you for all your support and all that you do.
Please pray for my family.
Good luck to all my fellow J6ers, the lord is with us. I pray he helps us go home soon.
God Bless America
God Bless Us All – JimBob Proverbs 17:17**Please help Jim Bob here.**
Jim Bob’s wife, Jessica, added, “Thank you so much for any help you can provide our family.”
The post Political Prisoner James Elliott Did What He Could to Help Injured Patriots on January 6, Now He Sits Behind Bars – Please Help This Man’s Young Family appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
J6 political prisoner Barry Ramey was sentenced to sentenced to 5 years in prison for his participation on January 6th.
The Gateway Pundit exclusively reported that he has launched an appeal against the egregious politically motivated sentence.
On January 6th, Ramey did not make physical contact with Law Enforcement, was not violent, and did not break anything. Yet he was found guilty of assault. He is appealing the sentence based on the lack of evidence brought by the prosecution, false testimonies by government witnesses, and the misrepresentation of evidence by the prosecution.
Before the sentence was even handed down, he was held for nearly two years pre-trial in deplorable conditions.
I’m writing this hoping to bring under the microscope two damaging issues with J6ers currently in DOJ/BOP custody and them being labeled behind the scenes, which is affecting their treatment and where they are permitted to serve time.
We already know J6ers are not being treated very well, but it’s even worse than we thought! As I tell the story of my fiancé Barry Ramey, know it’s not a unique story because it’s happening to all the men and women who are serving time for anything related to January 6th.
First, the BOP has wrongfully labeled, not only Barry but a very large portion of J6ers, with the label known as ‘Greatest Severity”.
What does this mean?
It’s a label that they code as a great threat to the community at large. It also means that, with this label, J6er’s eligibility for serving time in a Federal Prison Camp (which is the safest option available for serving incarcerated prison time) is eliminated due to the way the BOP score calculates the label, regardless of whether they, like Barry, have no criminal past.
Yet, sitting in Federal Prison Camps, as we speak, are bank robbers, people who have committed violent crimes, and others convicted of terrible things. How is it that these people are allowed to serve time in Prison Camps, and J6 patriots are being designated with a label that places them in higher security prisons that hold convicted rapists, murderers, gang members, and others with a recurrent history of convictions?
Their justification for this “Greatest Severity” label, as was told to Barry, is that it is not their charges but “their conduct” on January 6th. However, they are attempting to justify this egregious overreach by lumping together all the things that happened or even didn’t happen the entire day of January 6th into one report and applying all of it to J6ers, even if it had nothing to do with them, their charges, their location, etc.
**Please help Barry here.***
As an example, when reading Barry’s Pre-Sentencing report, it mentions the following things that have nothing to do with Barry.
1. Property damage and vandalism is listed. Barry never damaged or vandalized anything.
2. The Breach inside the capital is listed. Barry never went inside.
3. The initial breach is listed in detail as if Barry had been there even though by time stamp, they say that Barry arrived 20 minutes after that had occurred.
4. The conduct of another J6er, Ryan Samsel, is listed. Barry was nowhere around Mr. Samsel and didn’t even know him at that time. So, what does one thing have to do with the other? It doesn’t. I would guess Mr. Samsel’s report is riddled with misstatements and untruths, to no fault of his own, as well.
5. The entirely false statement claiming Barry threatened an FBI agent investigating his case, despite the fact those charges were dropped after it came to light that it didn’t happen and the prosecution withheld evidence that proved Barry’s innocence on this issue.So, when you, or anyone in the Federal prison system, read the Pre-Sentencing reports for J6ers, it leads the reader to believe that their conduct was far worse than it was, as shown by the above things that either have nothing to do with Barry or were false accusations. But they are in the report as if they are true. And that is wrong.
The Second horrific and wrong label (and what many believe to be illegal) placed on not only Barry but so many J6ers by the DOJ / BOP is “terrorist.” There is a division of the BOP that focuses on “counter-terrorism.” What seems to be their focus now is to monitor J6ers and take things they say out of context and punish them with more time while under DOJ/BOP custody.
And this has been done in the shadows!
They even told Barry they were monitoring MY social media accounts. I was not at the Capitol on January 6th nor have I even been accused of this. I am a private citizen. I’m not under BOP custody. So, why would the counter-terrorism unit under the BOP monitor MY social media?
Let’s not forget that this DOJ will not even call cartels or Iranian-backed proxy groups “terrorists,” but they are labeling J6ers this way. This is so dangerous! Call me naïve, but I believe there are still some good people left in the DOJ/BOP.
But as Edmund Burke said, “All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” This inappropriate torquing of the system behind the scenes causes one to ponder if it’s J6ers now, what next? If doing nothing paves the way for evil to triumph, what then?
Barry may have been charged with two assaults (the 2nd which never happened) and while he is in the process of appeal while serving a five-year sentence, the story that doesn’t get told is the level of provocation that day. And some are saying entrapment.
**Please help Barry here.***
Imagine being among the crowd on January 6th, peacefully singing the National Anthem like Barry was, only to be erratically barraged by tear gas, concussion grenades, rubber bullets, and witnessing a man get shot through his cheek with munitions!
Was Barry wrong for reacting? He’ll be the first to tell you he wishes he could have done things differently that day.
Should Barry or any J6er be labeled a terrorist?
No! You’ll never catch Barry at a college campus yelling, “Death to Israel or Death to America.” That’s what terrorists yell!
Barry is a good man who stands for the triumph of America, not the triumph of evil.

Earlier this week Barb Turpin wrote The Gateway Pundit to share the very sad news that her son Dominic Pezzola was recently diagnosed with cancer while serving time in prison.
Barb blames the medical neglect Dominic endured since being held in prison.
Barb wrote this:
I’m hoping you will post an update on Gateway Pundit about my son now having Cancer because of the medical neglect in All of the facilities he’s been in. Dominic was on Doctors care before January 6th and was diagnosed with Barrettes Esophagus which is an erosion of the esophagus. He was put on very strong medication to prevent it from becoming cancer and he needs to get an upper GI test every 1-2 years.
Dominic was denied his medication each time he was moved and had to fight to get it. He suffered many times since his incarceration because he didn’t get his medication. He was promised several times he was going to get the upper GI test but to this day hasn’t. Dominic wants to get the word out ASAP about this because he’s not the only one going thru the medical neglect as we all know. My son being diagnosed with Cancer could have been prevented. We don’t know yet if it is Esophagus Cancer, what stage or what will be the recommended treatment as of now. They said he won’t be sent to the hospital to find out those answers for at least four weeks.
Jim, I’m devastated, heartbroken and extremely worried for my son. After all it’s the Bureau of Prisons system that is responsible for this neglect and diagnosis. How can we have faith that they will do what’s right and HOW will he get the care he needs. If you want to speak with me about this I’m always available.
Thank you and God Bless

Dominic also sent this epic statement from prison.
Jenn Baker wrote more about Dominic’s situation at Condemned USA Substack.
Unfortunately, because the BOP limits the inmates to 500 minutes of phone calls per month, Dominic, with only ten minutes left for the month, will be sitting alone with this diagnosis for the next six days until his minutes refill. This has been a very trying time for the Pezzola family. They welcome all the support and the love given to them from the American people and thank you for sticking by them.
FCI Butner has been in the spotlight as just one of the many prisons that have become dilapidated and should be shut down. The amount of black mold, asbestos, and decay these prison buildings have are beyond inhabitable. The kitchen at FCI Butner has fallen in on itself. The conditions of the kitchen make it impossible for the prison to be sure they are providing food that is safe and in line with Food Safety Practices.
This is only one instance of what is happening with the walls of this particular prison, and the treatment of Dominic Pezzola is just the tip of the iceberg.
There’s an online petition to address questions of the condition of the prison to the NC Health Department. If you are interested in helping with this, go to:

NOTE TO READERS: NOT ONE single mainstream media outlet is willing to be honest with the American public and play video of John Sullivan’s extensive history as a BLM and Antifa organizer.
NOT ONE!
Antifa-BLM organizer John Sullivan was sentenced on Friday to six years in prison for his actions on January 6, 2021 at the US Capitol.
Antifa-Insurgence leader John Earl Sullivan was arrested in Utah after the US Capitol riots.
As reported previously, Antifa protester John Sullivan was caught on video posing as a Trump supporter during the rioting at the US Capitol on January 6th.
Footage obtained by the Gateway Pundit from militant Black Lives Matter and Antifa activist John Sullivan’s Discord server shows the so-called “civil rights activist” reveling inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6 as he damaged federal property.
Sullivan has maintained in multiple interviews that he regularly attends protests only to record what’s going on, but did not actively partake in the insurgence in Washington. This was a lie. He is a leader of the Utah Antifa-BLM movement and was previously arrested in Utah.
Sullivan also organized an Antifa-Insurgence rally on January 6th at the Washington Monument at 11 AM before they stormed the US Capitol.
The mainstream media refuses to report these facts.
The media and January 6 committee missed this for some reason?
Antifa leader Jayden X spent one night in jail and was then released.
The Gateway Pundit first reported on Jayden X back in August 2020 during the BLM riots in Washington DC.
John Sullivan, Jayden X, spoke at the rallies calling on BLM radicals to "go get that motherf**ker" in the White House.
The media conveniently ignores this too.
Axios reported:
A Utah man who claimed he was acting as a citizen journalist when he joined Jan. 6 rioters and filmed scenes inside the U.S. Capitol, including the fatal shooting of Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt, was sentenced Friday to six years in prison.
The big picture: John Earle Sullivan, who prosecutors said earned more than $90,000 from selling his video footage of the Capitol breach, was convicted in November of several charges including felony obstruction of an official proceeding and civil disorder.
- The 29-year-old from Salt Lake City was also sentenced to 36 months of supervised release and ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution, according to the Department of Justice.
Context: Sullivan, who was wearing a ballistic vest and gas mask when he joined rioters storming the Capitol, was heard on video yelling expletives, including "we're about to burn this s--t down!," "we're f--king s--t up" and "I'm gonna make these Trump supporters f--k all this s--t up," per court documents.
- He told the mob he had a knife and offered it to them as he filmed them trying to break open doors to the House Chamber and the Speaker's Lobby, prosecutors said. Congress members, staff and journalists were inside the House of Representatives at the time.
- Video evidence shows Sullivan climbing through a broken window at the Capitol building and eventually reaching the Speaker's Lobby, where he can be heard encouraging a mob breaking glass panes in the door and telling police officers to "go home" before Babbitt climbs through and is shot, per the DOJ.

Earlier today, Alicia Powe at The Gateway Pundit exposed J6 insurrection leader James Ray Epps lying to the FBI in a leaked interview obtained by The Gateway Pundit.
After the release of this audio incriminating Epps, federal agents raided J6 political prisoner Ryan Samsel’s jail cell and dragged him to solitary confinement in the hole of the Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn on Thursday night.
Epps repeatedly lied to authorities saying he was listening to President Trump’s speech at the Ellipse when there is numerous video clips proving Epps was not being truthful.
Ray Epps was directing Trump supporters to the US Capitol for hours before the protests on Capitol Hill. Epps later was one of the leading protesters who broke through the first and second set of barriers going to the US Capitol.
Hours after TGP published the leaked audio of Epps' phone call to the feds, Samsel was removed from his jail cell.
He is now being held in solitary confinement in one of the most notoriously dangerous jail systems in the country.
Samsel suspected he would face government retaliation for exposing the truth. He was right.
“I challenge the government. Even if they may retaliate and assault me for exposing the truth like they usually do — you can’t fear, folks. I’m curious as to why I am being treated like this, and guys like Ray Epps are free?" Samsel told TGP while reviewing the uncovered audio.
“Epps is a free man with his family at home when I’ve been constantly moved to dozens of different jails – I’ve been in New York; I've been in Philly, I’ve been in Virginia, moved everywhere --and each place I’ve gone I’ve been extremely mistreated. Still to this day, I haven’t gotten any medical treatment.
"I put God first. If they want to take my life, all they can do is destroy my body. I want to take care of it as best I can, but if they want to kill it, you can have it. Come get it. The soul — you can’t destroy my soul.”
The post DEVELOPING: Federal Agents Drag J6 Political Prisoner Ryan Samsel To The Hole and Isolation Immediately After The Gateway Pundit Releases Ray Epps’ FBI Call to the American Public appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
The United States Supreme Court reportedly signaled that they are considering granting Russell Alford, one of the few J6 defendants to refuse a plea deal, his petition for writ of certiorari, a move that only happens for roughly 1% of cases brought to SCOTUS.
Alford is one of the 75 January 6 defendants who joined The Gateway Pundit in our official request to RINO Speaker McCarthy last year for the government’s January 6 footage.
Despite walking into the Capitol for just 13 minutes on January 6, where "he mostly stood to the side and observed" and "filmed protestors chanting," then leaving, according to the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Alford was given the maximum sentence for four crimes, including Remaining in a restricted building, Disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building, Disorderly or disruptive conduct in the Capitol Building and parading, and Demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol Building. The Court also ruled that "trespassers in the Capitol during the riot did not need to be acting 'disorderly' or 'disruptive' to be found guilty of disorderly conduct, because such definitions 'are nebulous but time has given them concrete contours in two ways important here,'” per Frontline News.
Alford is appealing the ruling from the trial court and Appeals Court that "passive, quiet and nonviolent conduct can be disorderly.” Though the Supreme Court may not be able to help Alford in his other charges of for “remaining” and “demonstrating” in the Capitol, this could undermine the convictions of thousands of peaceful protesters who were charged with disorderly conduct.
According to Frontline News, "1,156 peaceful January 6 protesters have been charged with engaging in disorderly or disruptive conduct. 1,021 have been charged with disorderly or disruptive conduct in a Capitol building. About 1,000 of them have been hit with both misdemeanor charges. These are the most common charges that the 1,300+ total January 6 peaceful protesters have been hit with."
The Department of Justice reportedly waived their right to file a response to Alford's petition, likely because they know the charges are bullsh*t and they will lose!
More from Frontline News:
The Supreme Court has requested a response from the Department of Justice (DOJ) to a petition from a peaceful J6 protestor who is appealing his conviction for disorderly conduct.
99% rejected
The High Court only agrees to grant certiorari, i.e., review a request for appeal, in about eighty out of seven to eight thousand petitions for “a writ of certiorari” each year. Normally, the justices do not give an indication of whether they are inclined to include a particular case in the one percent that get to the next stage, which includes additional briefs and oral arguments, until after receiving a response to the petition and the petitioner's reply to the response.
Confident feds
In the case of J6 protestor Russell Alford, however, the justices may have already signaled that they are inclined to grant certiorari, a decision which would require the agreement of four of the nine justices. Alford filed his petition to cancel his conviction with SCOTUS in early April and the government had 30 days to respond. Instead of responding, however, the DOJ penned a single sentence to the High Court:
The Government hereby waives its right to file a response to the petition in this case, unless requested to do so by the Court.
The justices then announced that they do indeed want the DOJ to respond, giving it a May 23, 2024 deadline, indicating their interest in the matter.
As Josh Gerstein just reported at Politico, SCOTUS requested a response from DOJ in petition for writ of cert filed by Russell Alford, convicted by a DC jury of 4 misdemeanors for J6.
This doesn't mean SCOTUS will take up the case but it does mean they want some answers.

1 act, 13 minutes, 4 convictions
Most J6 defendants, facing multiple charges for the one act of trespassing, waived their right to argue that their entrance into the Capital was an unknowing trespass, fearing the potential for multiple prison sentences. Alford, like America's Frontline Doctors' (AFLDS) Creative Director John Strand, was one of the few J6 defendants to refuse a plea deal.
Alford's trespass was described by the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Alford remained inside the Capitol for approximately thirteen minutes…
While inside, he mostly stood to the side and observed. He filmed protestors chanting “stop the steal” and pounding on a door that led to the floor of the House, behind which sheltered dozens of Congress members. [Emphasis added.]
The court added that Alford left within three minutes of police telling the crowd to leave:
Police arrived within about ten minutes of Alford’s entry and began physically and verbally directing the crowd back out through the Upper House Door. Alford initially moved further down the hallway before turning and making for the exit … He left once someone managed to open the second double door.
For this, the trial court convicted Alford on four separate counts, all stemming from that 13-minute walk during which he did not so much as yell. He was given the maximum sentence for each charge, to be served concurrently, resulting in a 12-month sentence for:
- Remaining in a restricted building
- Disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building
- Disorderly or disruptive conduct in the Capitol Building and parading
- Demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol Building [Emphasis added.]
Overcharging banned; not banned
The DOJ is actually prohibited from engaging in so-called overcharging, particularly in the the District of Columbia Circuit, in which Alford's trial court sits, where the circuit's appellate court has, for more than 50 years, explicitly banned the practice of overcharging defendants where the intent is to coerce a guilty plea on a lesser charge:
. . . the prosecutor clearly cannot have carte blanche to apply whatever tactics he wishes to induce a guilty plea. A policy of deliberately overcharging defendants with no intention of prosecuting on all counts simply in order to have chips at the bargaining table would, for example, constitute improper harassment of the defendant. [Emphasis added.]
Nonetheless, J6 protestors have been uniformly subjected to multiple charges in the absence of separate actions. Technically, though, Alford's case does not fit this classic definition of overcharging, since the DOJ, perhaps sensing a jury pool antagonistic to J6 protestors, did in fact prosecute Alford on multiple charges. But it is not, in any case, overcharging that is at issue in the petition to the Supreme Court.
Not disorderly; disorderly
Alford appealed his convictions on the two charges requiring the government to prove “disorderly or disruptive conduct.” The trial court refused Alford's motion to acquit on those charges, despite the lack of any evidence of such conduct, arguing that he should be held guilty on account of the actions of (a small minority) the other protestors:
Mr. Alford’s mere presence inside the Capitol disturbed the public peace or undermined public safety” and that “his presence was an aspect of the disorder and disruption of the Capitol.” [Emphasis added].
“Even passive, quiet and nonviolent conduct can be disorderly”
The appellate court agreed with prosecutors and the lower court:
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Friday that trespassers in the Capitol during the riot did not need to be acting "disorderly" or "disruptive" to be found guilty of disorderly conduct, because such definitions “are nebulous but time has given them concrete contours in two ways important here.”
"First, it is well-established that whether conduct qualifies as disorderly depends on the surrounding circumstances," the court wrote …
"Second, it is equally clear from caselaw that even passive, quiet and nonviolent conduct can be disorderly," the ruling continued. [Emphases added].
JUST IN: #SCOTUS signals it may undermine more common #Jan6 charges as justices ask DOJ to respond to petition challenging 'disorderly or disruptive' charges v. Russell Alford. DC Cir ruled charges valid even for nonviolent protesters. Earlier: https://t.co/QMDbF9UM7z
— Josh Gerstein (@joshgerstein) April 23, 2024
It is this ruling, that "passive, quiet and nonviolent conduct can be disorderly,” that is at issue in Alford's appeal to the Supreme Court.
High Court may help … others
Should the nation's highest court rule that such peaceful behavior as Alford's cannot be the basis for a disorderly conduct conviction, it may not actually benefit Alford, as his two convictions for “remaining” and “demonstrating” in the Capital would still stand and for each he was sentenced to the maximum prison time, as mentioned above, to run concurrently.
Since the maximum sentence for the charge of merely remaining in a restricted building is one year, even vacating the two disorderly charges would still leave Alford facing a year in prison, though he could argue that, without the disorderly charges, one year is excessive for trespassing.
Alford is far from the only peaceful J6 protestor to be charged with disorderly conduct, however. According to Conservative Zone, 1,156 of those protestors were charged with disorderly conduct despite their peaceful conduct.
1,156 peaceful January 6 protesters have been charged with engaging in disorderly or disruptive conduct. 1,021 have been charged with disorderly or disruptive conduct in a Capitol building. About 1,000 of them have been hit with both misdemeanor charges. These are the most common charges that the 1,300+ total January 6 peaceful protesters have been hit with.
None of the people facing these charges did anything violent or caused any property damage. They were welcomed into the building by police officers who were high-fiving them and holding doors open for them, they wandered around for a while, and they peacefully left when asked to do so.
The post In Rare Move, SCOTUS Justices Signal They May Grant Certiorari in Case of Peaceful J6 Protestor Russell Alford Who Received Maximum Sentence! Justices Ask DOJ to Defend Their Conviction of Alford by May 23 appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
Alleged government plant James Ray Epps repeatedly claimed during his leaked interview with the Federal Bureau of Investigations that he stopped on the Ellipse in Washington DC at the Stop the Steal rally on January 6, 2021, to listen to former President Donald Trump’s speech.
“I mean this is what I tried to do. I mean I tried to calm them down,” Epps is heard telling an FBI agent a series of lies on a Jan. 8 2021 recorded phone call obtained by The Gateway Pundit.
“And the next morning we went down to the Capitol, — oh, not the Capitol,” he continued, “the, the, uh, the place where the president was going to speak. And we listened.”
In reality, as Trump delivered the momentous speech on the Ellipse, Epps was on a strange expedition, imploring every person he encountered to go into the Capitol building, where many would later be shot by police, bombed by cops with flash grenades, tear-gassed by law enforcement officials, murdered, entrapped with stacks of federal criminal charges and entrapped by the FBI for trespassing.
“As soon as President Trump is finished speaking, we are going to the Capitol! It’s going in that direction. That’s where our true problems lie,” he yelled at every bystander he encountered on the streets of the nation’s capital during Trump’s speech.
How could Epps have stopped to listen to the president’s speech when he was fixated on a bizarre expedition to direct demonstrators to, “Go to the Capitol!” and relentlessly cajoling the massive crowd to “Go.. in…to the building!”
As exhibited in J6 A True Timeline, the banned documentary showcasing the timeline of the events of January 6, President Trump took the microphone at 12:01 PM. Trump spoke at the Elipse for 40 minutes while Ray Epps, the entire time, was filmed on the streets directing the crowd to the Capitol building.
Epp’s demonstrably false claim about stopping to listen to Trump’s speech is among numerous falsehoods the only “insurrectionist” heralded by the corporate press told the bureau, in clear violation of federal law.
Lying to corporate press and state-run mainstream media primetime on 60-minute or and all access interviews with the New York Times, is one thing.
Flagrantly lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigations is a federal violation governed by 18 U.S.C. § 1001, punishable by up to five years in prison.
The penalty could be extended to a maximum of eight years if the misstatement relates to any act of international or domestic terrorism. The statements do not have to be made under oath to get charged under this federal statute.
Making false statements that violate federal law are related to the crimes of obstruction of justice and perjury, which are penalized under 18 U.S.C. § 1621 and 18 U.S.C. § 1505.
One of the most common ways for someone to face a federal false statement charge involves lying to FBI agents during an interview. Federal prosecutors frequently use the False Statement Accountability Act to indict or threaten to indict someone they believe is not cooperating with a criminal investigation.
Federal prosecutors sought to incarcerate former National Security Advisor Gen. Michael Flynn for violating 18 U.S.C. § 1001. Flynn pled guilty to making false statements to the FBI surrounding the bogus Russia probe then withdrew his plea prior to sentencing and was pardoned by Trump. Trump advisor Roger Stone was dragged out of his home by the FBI in a predawn raid for allegedly providing false statements to the FBI and pardoned by the former president.
But Ray Epps is above the law.
As TGP reported, on Jan. 8, 2021, hours after Epps discovered his photo was published on the Most Wanted List for his role in the Capitol riot, the 62-year-old former Oath Keeper called the FBI and asked a federal agent to remove his picture from the bureau’s website and provided numerous false statements about his actions on January 5 and 6, 2021.
He devoted most of the call to persuading the bureau to target J6 political prisoner Ryan Samsel, whom Epps whispered to and stalked during the riot, and criminally implicating other demonstrators he implored to, “Go into the building!”
TGP allowed Samsel to review the exculpatory evidence prosecutors withheld during his trial in violation of Brady v. Maryland.
“This is all scripted,” Samsel told TGP in an exclusive interview. “[Epps] is a paid agitator and we are going to get to the bottom of it.”
Epps insisted on the call with the FBI that he “kind of put his arm around” Samsel to “try to calm him down. If true, it would have been a sudden deviation from the mission he had been on for hours, walking the streets of DC inciting people to break the law.
“Ray Epps never whispered in my ear to ‘calm down,’” Samsel shot back. “What he said was, ‘Don’t pull you’ve got to push. I got people, or wait until more people. That’s exactly what he said. I’ve challenged the government to this, and I said, ‘Well, why don’t you have me take a polygraph test and have Ray Epps take a polygraph test.’
“They don’t want him to take a polygraph test because he’s lying. He’s lying about so, so much.”
The former Marine at the center of the Capitol attack’s most persistent conspiracy theories and his wife Robyn conspicuously insisted he went to DC to “calm them down” a combined nearly 20 times on the unredacted 27-minute call.
The Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment provides that “in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right … to be confronted with the witnesses against him” at trial. Generally, the right is to have a face-to-face confrontation with witnesses who are offering testimonial evidence against the accused in the form of cross-examination during a trial.
But US district federal judges have trashed the US Constitution under the installed Biden regime. Ryan Samsel has never had the opportunity to face his accuser.
Revolver News’ Darrin Beattie called attention to Epp’s J6 alibi.
“He just, ‘Went to D.C. to defend Trump and to attend the speech on a last-minute thing with his son,’ to attend Trump’s speech on election fraud. The only thing is, Epps didn’t attend the speech,” Beattie noted on Tucker Carlson’s former Fox News broadcast before Carlson was fired from the network allegedly for exposing the fedsurrection.
“Epps travels all the way from Arizona to DC, this ‘big Trump supporter,’ and he doesn’t even attend the speech,” Beattie continued. “Instead, he fixates on this bizarre mission to get everyone to go into the Capitol.”
As police sprayed the crowd with deadly CS gas and flash grenades, Epps boasted to his nephew in a 2:12 pm text message on Jan. 6 that he, “Orchestrated it.”
In July 2021, the FBI removed Epps from its Most Wanted List.
Last Sept., Epps pleaded guilty to one count of engaging in disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds. On Jan. 9, Epps was sentenced to a year of probation, ordered to pay $500 in restitution and to serve 100 hours of community service for his role in the riot.
“Jan. 6 violence was not generated by the FBI; it was generated by people like me who supported President Trump and listened to his lies,” Epps told Chief Judge James Boasberg at his sentencing.
A self-proclaimed former Trump supporter, Epps told Judge Boasberg he now “knows Joe Biden won the election and said he underwent a “life-changing reality shift” when the “Trump cult” turned on him and his wife and hope of helping others “learn the truth” of the 2020 election results.
Prosecutors argued several “distinctive and compelling mitigating factors” set Epps’s case apart from other rioters’ cases, noting Epps turned himself in two days after the riot and attempted to de-escalate conflict between law enforcement and rioters at least five times that day.
Epps’s sentencing was underway at the same time Trump was in the same D.C. federal courthouse. Trump’s legal team was arguing before a D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals panel that his federal election interference case should be dismissed because he was acting in his official capacity as president.
Epps gets no prison time.
Breaking! Newly released #january6th footage reveals the @CapitolPolice cameras were tracking Ray Epps! @HelpStopHate pic.twitter.com/NgZEKONbwg

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia has charged Trump with one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States, one count of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, one count of obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, one count of conspiracy against rights in Washington, DC for contesting the most ostensibly rigged election in US history.
In the 39 months since Jan. 6, 2021, more than 1,385 individuals have been charged in nearly all 50 states for crimes related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol.
While Epps walks scot-free, Samsel was convicted of eight eight felony counts for joining the crowd in pushing over flimsy bike racks surrounding the Capitol grounds at the start of the riot, carrying a cop who was toppled over by the protesters pushing the bike racks to safety, providing medical aid to another protester who police shot in the face, protecting the wounded demonstrator from arrest and then getting shot at by police.
Samsel, himself, was almost shot in the face by police at the riot. In footage of the police lacing the crowd with deadly less-than-lethal munitions, an explosion visibly ignites inches away from Samsel’s head and he sustains the scars on his ear from the injury.
The Pennsylvania barber and former MMA fighter questions why Epps continues to be given special treatment by the government when January 6 has destroyed his life and broken and destroyed the lives of hundreds of Americans who went to DC to protest the installed dictatorship that manufactured Covid to murder millions of Americans and stole the election.
FBI agents apprehended Samsel with lasers of their AR15s pointed at his head while raiding his Pennsylvania home on January 29, 2021. Over the past three and half years in pretrial incarceration, Samsel has been tortured and brain injured from beatdowns by federal agents, and repeatedly denied life-saving surgery. In one instance, he was strapped in a four-point restraint chair backward and ruthlessly beaten as officers spat his face calling him “white supremacist” and “domestic terrorist.” Currently detained in MDC Brooklyn, the same jail system where Jefferey Epstein allegedly killed himself, Samsel has been transferred to 19 different correctional facilities 28 times over the past three years.”
“I challenge the government, even if they may retaliate and assault me for exposing the truth like they usually do — you can’t fear, folks. I’m curious as to why I am being treated like this, and guys like Ray Epps are walking around free?”
Samsel provided TGP his medical records substantiating his claims about being repeatedly assaulted, once almost killed by guards in the DC gulag after refusing to cooperate with authorities in a plea agreement, and was nearly beaten to death in Pennsylvania while incarcerated after guards discovered he was surviving on food J6 political prisoner Zachary Rehl managed to “fish” him through the toilet when he was being starved.
“These pictures were taken about three weeks after I was assaulted in the DC jail. Even my hands were bruised, because they were punching my hands, and punching my hands until my hands were literally the color black. Look at the difference between how I am treated, and some of these other guys who went to trial and refused to plea,” Samsel said. “Why are guys like Ray Epps being treated perfectly fine?”
“Selective prosecution? Epps is a free man with his family at home when I’ve been constantly moved to dozens of different jails – I’ve been in New York; Ive been in Philly, I’ve been in Virginia, moved everywhere and each place I’ve gone I’ve been extremely mistreated. Still to this day I haven’t gotten any medical treatment. I put God first. If they want to take my life, all they can do is destroy my body. I want to take care of it as best I can, but if they want to kill it, you can have it. Come get it. The soul — you can’t destroy my soul.”
In an April 2021 in-person interview with the two FBI agents, Epp continues to flagrantly lie to the bureau, even contradicting what he told the FBI on Jan. 8 in violation of federal law.
Stay tuned.

Recently, Laurie Smith wrote The Gateway Pundit after she visited her young son Brad Smith, who is serving time in federal prison.
Brad is a political prisoner of the Biden regime. Brad attended the protests on January 6, 2021 at the US Capitol and watched from outside the US Capitol.
Brad never entered the Capitol, never brought a weapon, never vandalized anything, and never hurt anyone.
But the Biden regime sentenced him to 41 months in prison for touching a huge Trump sign that passed over his head as he stood in the crowd that day.
** If you would like to help support Brad Smith, please go to https://www.givesendgo.com/G9DY8
Ray Epps, who was filmed pushing the sign and directing people, was never charged for this same crime that Brad and several others were sentenced for.
Brad Smith, who never broke the law in his life and respected the police, entered prison in 2022 for this made-up crime.
Laurie recently visited her son in prison. She sent us this photo.
Hi Jim, ( I will attach some photos in the next email)
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak out about my son. I struggled a little on what to write only because I just want to complain so much and express what an evil corrupted regime we have right now. But, I thought I would write more about how truly thankful and blessed we are for the support and how proud I am of my son. Visiting a child in prison is so surreal and such a physical draining event.
My son Charles Bradford Smith (Brad) attended the January 6 rally to show his support for President Trump. Over nine months later the FBI did a terrifying pre-dawn raid of our home and arrested our son who was 24 years old at the time.
Brad never entered the Capital, never brought a weapon, never vandalized anything, and never hurt anyone.
Despite that he was charged with Conspiracy to Obstruct an Official Proceeding because of some hyperbolic rhetoric on his phone. Yet so many have said horrific things about President Trump with absolutely no consequences. They are even praised for it.
Then months later after Brad’s arrest they decided to add on a very serious felony assault charge. Our son was devastated. Not only because of the extreme charge, but he has always respected law enforcement. This charge was due to a very large Trump sign being passed over dozens and dozens of people and Brad also touched the sign for 7 seconds as it passed by. The sign never injured anyone but did eventually go into a line of police and was placed on the ground.
What is even more upsetting is that Ray Epps is seen on several video clips touching this sign and was never charged at all for it.
With no criminal background (not even a traffic ticket) Brad has been tragically sentenced to 41 months in prison for attending the January 6 rally and 36 months’ probation. He reported to prison November 1st, 2022.
My son just loved what Trump stood for. He went to his very first Trump rally in 2015, not long after graduating from high school. Then he went on to attend several other rallies and even ended up joining the Young Republican Club in college. Brad has always loved learning about history and politics, and he respected and valued Trump's policies.
My son is a Patriotic Conservative Christian young man who never imagined he would be sent to prison for supporting President Trump at the January 6th rally.
People ask me many times how Brad is coping while being in prison these past 18 months and I can honestly say he rarely complains. The last thing I know he would want is for us to worry more than we already are. He has been so humbled by the outpouring of love and support. It’s something I could never put into words. All of this has reminded my son and myself as well that there are so many good people in the world despite what is happening right now to him. If anything, this has made my son stronger physically, mentally, and most importantly closer than he already was to God.
The day you must hug your young son goodbye and have him walk through those prison doors is something I would not wish on any parent. Please continue to pray for him.

The post A FAMILY GRIEVES: Heartbreaking Letter from Laurie Smith – The Mother of an Innocent J6 Political Prisoner After She Visits Him in Prison appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
In January 2021, when Ray Epps returned home to Arizona two days after the Capitol riot, he called the FBI and audaciously asked a federal agent to remove his photograph from the “Most Wanted” list, insisting that he would “do anything” to assist the weaponized intelligence agency with identifying suspects he believed should be arrested for their actions on Jan. 6 while providing fabricated accounts of what he did and what transpired that fateful day.
“What federal violation are you calling to report tonight?” a female agent asks Epps at the start of the 27-minute interview with the bureau on Jan. 8, 2021, in an attempt to evade federal charges.
Epps informs the government that he had just become aware that his photograph was published on the FBI’s website.
“Well, uh, my brother-in-law called me and said that my picture is on your website as a person of interest at the Capitol. And I looked it up and sure enough, there I am,” he told the agent, chuckling.
Accompanied by his wife Robyn Epps during the interview, the concerned fugitive asks the agent to hold while they identify his BOLO number.
Featured on the FBI bulletin whispering in J6 political prisoner Ryan Samsel’s ear, Epps states that he is featured in “photograph number sixteen,” then immediately begins criminally implicating Samsel.
“Photograph sixteen, that is me, and I’ve got my arm on this guy because he started– he was trying to fight the cops, trying to pick a fight with the cops, the police officers,” Epps said. “And I was trying to calm him down.”
While leveling criminal allegations against the demonstrators he stood alongside at the rally, Epps warns the FBI, “They came out of nowhere. And boom! Got through!”
Epps assured the agent that it was other people who had committed crimes — as if he had not invested hours in directing the crowd to “go into the building” and was not an active participant on the frontlines of “the first breach.”
“That was other people that got through after?” the agent asks.
“Yes,” Epps responds. “I’m not sure if that kid was among them. I’m pretty sure he was.”
Contending her husband’s actions during the riot were law-abiding, Robyn Epps also criminally implicated Samsel, claiming she saw footage in which he was “running away” from her husband.
“I thought from the video that it was –the same kid. Running away from you.” Robyn interjected.
At no point during the riot did Samsel run from Epps. But he, evidently, should have.
TGP provided Samsel the opportunity to review Epps’ interview with the FBI. Samsel suspects Epps stalked him nearly the entire time he was on the Capitol grounds.
“There is a picture of me and this group of Marines and Ray Epps is in every single one of my pictures that I take of myself. I’m like, ‘How is this guy in the background at every single [turn], like — he was following me!” Samsel told TGP in an exclusive interview after evaluating the audio.
Epps told the FBI “he went up and grabbed” Samsel moments before the crowd pushed over the bike racks to remind him the police are “doing their job.”
“I went up and grabbed the guy — grabbed the guy, I kinda, kind of, I don’t know — put my arm around him and said, ‘Hey, you know that’s, that’s not what, you know, that’s not what we’re doing here. We don’t need this. These guys are on our side.’ They’re doing their job.’ And tried to calm him down,'” he claimed. ” And then it just blew up. I mean just, blew up. It, it — they forced a fence down. An officer fell down and it was not good.”
According to court documents, the government claims Epps told Samsel, “Relax, the cops are doing their job,” when he confronted Samsel.
But Samsel contends Epps, in tandem with the Justice Department and the corporate press, disseminated a lie to cover for Epps and the government operation on the ground that day to entrap demonstrators.
“Ray Epps never whispered in my ear to ‘calm down,'” Samsel explained. “What he said was, ‘Don’t pull you’ve got to push. I got people, or wait until more people.” That’s exactly what he said. I’ve challenged the government to this, and I said, ‘Well, who don’t you have me take a polygraph test and have Ray Epps take a polygraph test.’
“They don’t want him to take a polygraph test because he’s lying. He’s lying about so, so much.”
Epps seemingly stuck to a script throughout his statement to the FBI as he and his wife repeatedly echoed the mantra that he was only “trying to calm them down” and assist police officers.
Epps claimed he tried to “calm them down” a whopping 14 times and both times his wife interjected she reiterated the “calm down” line.
“This is what I tried to do. I mean, I tried to calm ’em down,” Epps said, describing his confrontation with protesters at BLM Plaza on Jan. 5, 2021. “I tried to let them know that, uh, you know, this is not what we are here for. We’re here to — because of the constitution, not the police. The police are on our side. And I probably stayed down there ’til 1:30 in the evening and the police are all witnesses for that.
“I tried to calm them down. Got on a bullhorn once and tried to calm them down.”
Epps never got on a “bullhorn” to “calm them down” on Jan. 5th or 6th.
But the 62-year-old former Marine and Oathkkeeper is infamously caught on camera walking the streets of the nation’s capital on a bizarre mission to entice demonstrators to, “Go INTO the Capitol building!”
“Tomorrow, I don’t even like to say it because I’ll be arrested,” he yells in footage captured on January 5th by Anthime “Baked Alaska” Gionet and John “Jayden X” Sulivan at Black Lives Matter Plaza.
“Don’t say it!” Gionet shot back.
“I’ll say it!” Epps vehemently insisted. “We need to go in…to the Capitol!”
At BLM Plaza, Epps repeatedly interrupted debate among the rallygoers, reminding them to “focus” on a prime directive to “go into the Capitol!”
“Guys! Guys! Guys!” he screamed amongst the crowd a second time on Jan. 5. “I’m going to put it out there and I’m probably going to go to jail for it, okay? Tomorrow, we need to go into the Capitol! In… to the Capitol!”
Alarmed, suspicious and incensed by Epps’ calls to break the law, the crowd immediately began chanting “Fed! Fed! Fed! Fed!”
Epps also criminally implicated the protesters at BLM Plaza, warning the FBI that the other demonstrators were “right in the policemen’s face.” Footage shows they were primarily in his face for urging them to break the law.
On Jan. 6, 2021, after Samsel and approximately 300 demonstrators pushed over flimsy bike racks that barricaded Peace Circle from the inauguration stage, where many presumed Trump was slated to speak, Epps along with scores of protesters ran towards the Capitol building.
According to the government, demonstrators who stepped foot in the temporarily “restricted area” violated 1512 Obstruction of an Official proceeding, a crime punishable by up to a 20-year prison sentence unprecedentedly used to prosecute demonstrators.
But Epps is above the law.
Epps admitted in text messages to his nephew on Jan. 6 that he “orchestrated” the first breach, yet he inexplicably managed to evade the 1512 charge that has been leveled against hundreds of people who protested outside the building as federal judges continue to arbitrarily apply the statute in the selective prosecution of January 6 defendants for demonstrating on the “restricted area.”
Lying by omission, not once on the call did Epps disclose to the FBI his numerous unrelenting attempts to instigate peaceful demonstrators to “Obstruct an Official proceeding.”
Perhaps the man even sedition hunters have named “FedBoomer” equates “calming them down” with incitement.
If the government applied the same standard to Epps as the plurality of incarcerated J6 defendants, he would be serving a 20-year prison sentence for inciting “insurrection” and conspiring to “overthrow the US government.”
“The one guy, I could identify him. There’s a couple that I could probably identify if, if you had pictures,” he said. It’s so hard because some of them were covering their faces– these guys knew what they were doing.
“The officers on top, I was talking to them, they saw and they were witnesses that I was trying to calm those people down. I am guilty of being there and probably trespassing, uh. But I had a reason. I was trying to calm ’em down. I wanted to be there but I was trying to calm ’em down. Anything that I can do to help. There’s no call for that kind of behavior. I will be your witness.”
“You see? He’s a rat,” Samsel lamented after Samsel vowed to assist the government. “That statement, I would do ‘anything.’ What was he willing to do? ‘Anything. I hate that statement.
At the conclusion of Epps’ conspicuous call to the FBI, he had the nerve to ask the bureau to remove his picture from the Most Wanted list.
“Can you, can you take my picture down,” Epps shamelessly requested before bursting into laughter.
The agent refused at the time, noting she “will definitely get all of this documented in the appropriate areas.”
“Okay. No problem.” Epps replies, continuing to cackle.
Low and behold, the FBI granted Epps request and removed his picture from the Most Wanted list in July 2021.
Epps has yet to return TGP’s request for comment nor did his wife Robyn at the time of this publication.
Samsel has adamantly called on other January 6 defendants to refuse to cooperate with the government by accepting plea deals that he warns will ultimately be exploited to incarcerate Trump and more innocent people who protested nearly three and half years ago.
Like other defendants present when police waged a terror attack against the American people and the First Amendment, Samsel has been marred with claims by the political left and right of being a federal informant in light of his interaction with Epps during the first breach.
Yet, Samsel has been tortured for refusing an agreement with the government that would incriminate the Proud Boys and Trump. As a paralegal on the case, this reporter has obtained Samsel’s medical records. Guards in the DC jail brutally assaulted Samsel after he refused to lie about fellow J6 political prisoner and decorated Army veteran Joseph Biggs brandishing a gun during the riot.
As a result of repeated beatdowns, he was left with a broken eye socket, a broken jaw, brain injuries, and suffers loss of vision in his left eye. Judge Jia Cobb continues to refuse surgery for a condition that causes him to develop blood blots.
As TGP reported on Sunday, the FBI is also using illegal intimidation tactics against Samsel’s wife, Raechel Genco. Genco merely stood outside of the US Capitol on January 6 and committed no violent crimes. She pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge and was sentenced to community service and probation. The FBI claimed Genco never completed the required community service hours, even though she had. Suddenly, the DOJ is threatening Genco with felony charges.
“She is now facing felony charges because Christopher Way is retaliating after Troy Nehl’s challenged [him] on Genco was charged, and Ray Epps wasn’t at the time,” Samsel explained.
Steadfast amid potential retaliation by federal judges who add “terror enhancements” to the sentences of J6 defendants for exposing the Deep State malfeasance, Samsel is committed to exposing the government’s ploy to manipulate, intimidate, incarcerate and terrorize the American people for simply protesting.
“Everybody, please, repost and share this egregious miscarriage of justice, of selective prosecution and retaliation tactics again by Christopher Wray. This needs the attention of all American people, not just Republicans or Democrats if want to save this this country.”

LISTEN TO JAMES RAY EPPS’ UNEDITED JAN. 8, 2021 INTERVIEW WITH THE FBI HERE:
The post RAY EPPS EXPOSED: Never Before Released FBI Interview Call Uncovered – J6 Political Prisoner Ryan Samsel Exposes James Ray Epps Breaking Federal Law, LYING To The FBI Multiple Times [Part 1] appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
The Gateway Pundit first reported on Pete Schwartz back in October 2021. He had already been in prison for nearly a year at that point.
The regime kept Pete in the hole for six months in the last two years.
Peter Schwartz, age 47 and a Kentucky welder who has served in the Army Reserve, was indicted after he was accused of pepper-spraying officers during the Jan. 6 protest. This was after Peter, his wife, and thousands of Trump supporters were attacked by police without warning. Peter was arrested on Feb. 2, 2021, in Uniontown, Pennsylvania. Peter 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.
Pete went to courtin late 2022 in Washington DC. The government paired him up with two other defendants he had never met or communicated with to strengthen their case.
The corrupt DC jury found Pete and his codefendants guilty on every single charge. There were no victims. The prosecution presented no witnesses.

Pete Schwartz later called The Gateway Pundit after he was found guilty on every single count. There were 11 counts against Pete and the two co-defendants that he never had seen in his life and never met before the trial. The jury did not even read over the evidence before they voted to sentence the three Trump supporters.
Pete Schwartz told The Gateway Pundit that Juror #8 flipped him off as they read the guilty verdict against him where he was found guilty on every single count.
The last time we heard from Peter Schwartz was back in July 2023. Peter wrote us a letter from maximum security prison where they had moved him.
It has been almost a year since we have heard from Biden political prisoner Peter Schwartz. Then over the weekend Peter gave us a call. Peter is serving time – 14 years – in USP Canaan a dangerous high-security United States federal prison for male inmates in northeastern Pennsylvania.
Peter Schwartz: I’m in USP Canaan. It’s a maximum security penitentiary. There’s only 17 in the United States. This is the worst of the worst. They have only one other that is one step worse than this, which is complete solitary. And if somebody kills their cellmate or a guard or something like that, they send them there for five or 10 years. And then when they release them, this is where they release all those people. So even though they have me categorized as one of the most dangerous, which is why they put me in here for January sixth, that’s supposedly the most dangerous. Almost everybody in here has at least murders.
Jim Hoft: God, that sounds just horrible. Now, I hadn’t heard from you in a while. Can you tell me about that? Is there a reason?
Pete Schwartz: Yeah. Basically, it’s almost a kill or kill me place here. I was talking about earlier how I didn’t realize how violent, damaging this has been to me until the other day when I saw somebody getting stabbed in the face in the chow hall and I didn’t even stop eating. And that’s when I realized what’s happening to me, how this has traumatized me. So when I was attacked, when I first got here for defending myself. I lost all my privileges. I don’t get mail. They throw it away. They claim I’m getting it, and then it’s me throwing it away, but it’s not. I’m just not getting it… Today’s my first day with my phone back. I don’t know how long that will last, but I’m grateful to finally have contact with the world and talk to somebody who’s not in a maximum security penitentiary.
Jim Hoft: So, how long were you without a phone?
Pete Schwartz: It’s been 11 months now.
Jim Hoft: Jeez, Peter. I just didn’t know what happened. I hadn’t heard from you. We spoke, obviously, several times when you were, I think, at the DC gulag. But yeah, I didn’t even know what happened.
Pete Schwartz: I would about cut my arm off to go back to that DC jail right now.
Jim Hoft: Oh, my gosh. Oh, that’s horrible. You have a 14 year is what they gave you?
Pete Schwartz: Yeah. And they’ve overturned in the court. They overturned the enhancements. So even if I had been guilty, it’s only a 14 point charge without the 19 points of enhancements they gave me. So I’m already past time served for that. But the appellate court, normally, after you get sentenced, you make your notice to appeal within a day or two. Then they give you 30 days’ order for transcripts, and they set you a trial schedule. They’ve waited one year, which is the longest in the history of the Fourth Circuit, to even set me an appellate brief schedule. So just by the end of July is when I’ll finally get my briefs done, because they’ve been dragging their feet on this. And I’m already past time served. And I have to, after my briefs are submitted, I may have to wait another year for them to decide that they should have let me go years ago.
Jim Hoft: Oh, my God. This is just some of the most crazy abuse I’ve ever heard of, what they’re doing. What they’re doing to you and others. I’ve never heard anything like it. Is there any groups like Human Rights Watch or Amnesty International, any of those groups? Have they reached out to you at all to hear your story?
Pete Schwartz: I don’t really get any mail. I haven’t I had contact until today. But there has been other people that have been contacted by lawyers. But the problem with me is that I’m a conservative Christian and I’m Caucasian, so I’m not going to get the attention that a lot of the others do. But there’s been four different people have been killed by guards since I’ve been here. So there’s an investigation going on, but I don’t know how far it will get because it seems like the government not going to arrest itself.
Please listen to this 10 minute phone call with Pete Schwartz. And please pray for Peter and all of the J6 political prisoners.

Here is the audio of our phone call.
The post SHOCK AUDIO: J6er Pete Schwartz Calls from Violent Maximum Security Prison After Being Silenced and Isolated for a Year – Describes Living in Hell as Biden Political Prisoner appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
On January 6, 2021, Raechel Genco and her husband Ryan Samsel woke up early in the morning and left Pennsylvania to head down to Washington DC. The couple parked at Pentagon City Mail and took a train into DC. When they arrived, they walked to find where President Trump was speaking. While waiting, they walked around, talked with people, took some pictures and stopped at a few vendors.
Once Trump started speaking, they found a spot to stand and during his speech, it was hard to hear him and seemed like the volume on the speakers was very low/muffled. After a while, Ryan had to use the bathroom and so they walked down Pennsylvania Avenue where there were a lot of people already walking down towards the Capital and they joined them.
One group was chanting “F*** Anifia”, then there was another group of people they noticed who were wearing tie-dyed shirts and another group standing around. Raechel later found out they were some of the Proud Boys members. Ryan went up to a gentleman but Raechel was not sure what was said. As they walked around, there happened to be another small group of people, and one of them had a gun holster around his waist.
According to Raechel, the ‘protester’ with the gun was hanging with Ray Epps that day. That protester was not arrested for three years until video was released of him shooting the gun in the air that day.
Before they got to the US Capitol, the first set of bike racks were already taken down so everyone was standing at the second set of bike racks. She stood off to the right side at least 3-4 rows back from the bike rack as people started filling the gaps. There was a lot of yelling, another person was using a bullhorn, and someone else was yelling in a microphone.
Ray Epps was seen leading the crowd at this point. He whispered in Ryan Samsel’s ear how to take down the bike racks before they were breached. Epps was leading the effort. Epps later lied to congressional investigators about his role in breaching the barriers to the Capitol.
Raechel Samsel was off to the side as protesters worked their way to the US Capitol. Raechel never committed any acts of violence and never entered the US Capitol.
Raechel says at the time, she was confused on what was going on and stood off to the side by the bike rack. She believes there were two police officers standing near her. She remembers Ryan telling her to stay there. But as more people started to come through the opening she had to follow with the crowd before being trampled on. There were tens of thousands of people walking peacefully to the US Capitol. Raechel then went through a dirt pathway and found her way up to where other people were standing around the Capital. She stood back by the plaza area behind the scaffolding. She was surrounded by many friendly people who were praying, singing, and chanting “USA.” People were very peaceful at this point.
The police then started firing flash bangs into the crowd without warning. This caused people to get upset. Ryan rendered aid and helped Joshua Black after he was shot in the face with a rubber bullet. The police attack was unrelenting.
Then a Capital police officer started shooting down the crowd of thousands from his perch above them. The police officer was shooting protesters in the head. The officer shot Joshua Black in the cheek with a rubber bullet. Ryan Samsel offered assistance to Black who was bleeding out.
There was a flash-bang thrown not too far from where Raechel was standing and tear gas got into her eyes and in her lungs. It was so bad she could not breathe. She says it felt like her eyes and lungs were on fire. Thankfully someone standing near her had a bottle of water and Ryan poured water into her eyes. At that point Ryan was worried and they both agreed it was time to leave.
While trying to find their way out of the area they came across a lady that was in distress. Raechel and Ryan, along with one other person, helped the woman up and passed her to some other people to get her some medical help. They then left the Capital to walk back to the train station and drove home.
Raechel Genco was later arrested by the Biden regime.
Raechel was forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars on attorney costs and a hundred hours of community service.
Raechel relayed this information to The Gateway Pundit:
Raechel: I just want to give you some extra information: So my court date is on May 9th at 1:30 PM in Harrisburg. As for the J6 case, I was charged with a disorderly conduct misdemeanor charge. I paid as $500 fine and had to do 60 hrs of community service which I completed. The probation officer turned around and accused me of not completing my hours and said that the letter of completion was a forgery. So now they want to revoke my probation and re-indict me on new felony charges. I have emails to prove my innocence. But, of course, they are going to try and pin this all up on me and try to accuse me of doing something I never did. The government is out for blood and trying to destroy lives.
Back in July 2023 Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX), a former sheriff, destroyed dirty Chris Wray during his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
Nehls brought video and photos of Ray Epps encouraging Trump supporters to enter the US Capitol on January 5th and January 6th and then leading the charge through the first ste of barriers to the US Capitol.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Ray Epps ALSO led the charge through the second set of barriers that day.
Ray Epps also was filmed hurling a massive metal sign at police that day. He never was charged for this criminal act.
Here is Rep. Nehls confronting Chris Wray.
Rep. Troy Nehls: There he is breaching the line going in at the first breach into the capital into the Capitol grounds of restricted area. Mr. Wray you have arrested hundreds of people related to January 6 and there have been people arrested for breaching Capitol grounds. Couy Girffin is an example. Raechel Genco is an example. And then we go to Mr. Brandon Straka. Brandon was arrested for disorderly and destructive conduct which included yelling, I quote go, go as rioters tried to empty the Capitol. These three never went into the Capitol, they never assaulted anyone. So let’s be honest with each other. There is very little difference between the actions of Ray Epps and Brandon Straka that day. But yet Straka was arrested and Epps wasn’t. Epps also testified to the January 6 committee. He was back at his hotel when video Evans showed that he wasn’t. He lied. He was on the Capitol grounds just as Brandon Strecker was. EPS even texted his nephew at 02:12 p.m. And said I quote I was in the front with a few others. It was on the video. I also orchestrated it. Now look into the camera sir when you answer my next question. Are you going to arrest Mr. Epps, yes or no?
Here is the video of Rep. Troy Nehls confronting Chris Wray.
This week The Gateway Pundit received a video from political prisoner Ryan Samsel from his current location in the MDC Brooklyn Prison.
Ryan told us that shortly after Nehls confronted Chris Wray and mentioned Raechel Genco by name, the FBI retaliated against Raechel and threatened to punish her further.
Raechel had completed her community service hours but the FBI threatened to punish her further and keep her on probation for another 4 years — for standing outside of the US Capitol on January 6.
Here is the transcript of Ryan Samsel’s call this week.
Ryan Samsel:
Jim Hoft: Hi, Ryan Sam. Thank you for reaching out. I’m really sorry about your situation. Can you tell me the latest developments? This has to do with your wife, Raechel.
Ryan Samsel: Yeah, Raechel Genco. So it’s been over three years since January 6th. She got arrested for parading and protesting, not even trespassing. They arrested her about a year into her sentence. Now, Troy Nehls questioned Christopher Wray and asked Christopher Wray why he arrested Raechel. He called her Genco — Then he brought up a few other defendants. Under the question, Christopher Wray said, I will not answer that question. Raechel Genco was due to be off probation a month later. A day or two after that very hearing, Raechel got a notification from her probation officer saying that she was in violation of her probation. They extended her probation three months, which is completely illegal without a hearing. Then the probation officer then said, Hey, we can’t supervise you no more. You’re free to go, but we’re going to have a hearing because you violated your probation. So Reachel said, ‘What’s my violation?’ They didn’t have a violation yet. So they came at her a few months later and they said, You lied on doing your community service. Well, she says, No, I didn’t. I have all the emails to my community service. So then they violated her in Judge Cobb’s courtroom.
Judge Cobb then switched from… The best of my knowledge, Judge Cobb then said, No, we can’t do it here. You have to do it in the district that she was at, which was Pennsylvania. So now, she’s now facing felony charges because Christopher Way is retaliating because Troy Nehl’s challenged Christopher Wray on why Raechel Jenco was charged, and Ray Epps wasn’t at the time.
Ray Epps was then charged a week later. Raechel Jenco was in violation of probation the next day or two days later. Now she’s going to court on May 5th, and in central Pennsylvania in the Harrisburg region. Now they said that the prosecutor in the case even said, Hey, look, let’s just give her a probation over and let her just redo the probation, give her another chance. Even though she did complete it, not only she completed, she did double. We have the proof. I’ll send you that. I’ll send you the recording of Christopher Wray being questioned by Troy Nehls. This is the retaliation that they’re doing. Because everybody’s supporting us and all of us in DC, so now what they’re doing is they’re attacking us in our own districts, because now we can’t…
So, Jim, I ask you, please spread this awareness. But this is the retaliation. And I’ll send you all the clips of Troy Nehl’s doing this. I’ll send you everything, and I would really appreciate.
Jim Hoft: Let me know this, too. Raechel, what was her original charges? What did they charge her with? And what did she do that day on January sixth?
Ryan Samsel: Jim, she walked up the stairs behind me and nothing. She got charged with parading and protesting. That was it. That was her charge, was parading and protesting. She never went in a building, and that was the thing. She was the only single person that did not go in a building that got that charge… She was the only one that was charged with parading and protesting that did not enter the building. She never went in and was charged with that.
Nobody else was charged with that. Even Julie Kelly, when she did it, she says, Is it odd that she was with Ryan Samsel and was charged with that? The FBI said, Hey, ‘”Listen, all you got to do is testify and say you’ve seen Ryan do this and make sure you don’t bring Ray Epps’ name up and say that Ryan was lying, and she refused to do that.” Her life has been hell ever since. Her probation officer said, It’s a part for Raechel is not allowed to go to the media. It’s a part of her probation. Now that Raechel’s… She only got one year probation.
It’s literally, Jim, we’re going three years later, and she’s still being supervised because what they’re doing is they’re violating her on a fake violation, and it’s an unsupervised probation now. So then they’re going to just keep extended. They’ll turn a one-year probation to a five-year probation by doing this shit. Oh, my God.
Jim Hoft: That’s horrible. It’s absolutely horrible. We’ll definitely report on this, Ryan. Thank you for letting me know. I’m really sorry to hear that about Raechel. I had no idea that was going on.
All right. I’ll send you a clip of Troy Nell’s when he berated Christopher Raito to help support that if you want, Jim.
Okay, great. That would be great. Thank you, Ryan.
All right, bud. I’ll talk to you. Okay. All right.
Bye.

The egregious overcharging and sentencing of January 6th Political Hostages continues to happen daily, over three years later.
53-year-old Jeffery Sabol has spent 3+ years locked up for that day. He was sentenced at the end of March to 63 months (about 5 and 1/4 years), 3 years probation, and over $32,000 in fines and restitution. Sabol, a Geophysicist, is from Colorado. He is a devoted father, son, and partner to his beautiful fiancé.
Sabol has been a friend to many, and probably the most liked and respected guy in the DC Gulag. He has always provided hope, great “Dad” jokes, and advice to those detained in the Gulag as well as to the thousands that tune into the Freedom Corner Vigil. For over 620 nights, www.4Ashli.com has held a vigil outside the DC Gulag. The Hostages get to call in and talk to the world via livestream. Every night over the last year, Jeff would be the last phone call of the night and conduct the “J6 choir” in the National Anthem and then wrap up the call with news of the day.
Sabol has asked that the readers of the Gateway Pundit see the allocution he provided to his judge, U.S. District Judge, Rudolph Contreras. He has also provided two video exhibits that he’d like you to see as well. While you read and watch all of this, Jeff is enduring a dose of “Diesel Therapy” provided by the Bureau of Prisons and the US Marshals. He has recently been removed from the DC Gulag after 3+ years, and he, along with his family and friends, will know where he’s going when he gets there. For now, he remains strong and has faith that all of this will turn around in the not-too-distant future.
This written allocution is from Jeffrey Sabol and contains the Truth, the whole Truth, and nothing but the Truth, so help me, God.
Your Honor, Thank You for accepting my written allocution. This allocution contains 8
points.Point 1: I take Full Responsibility for my actions.
Point 2: Please allow me to set the record straight in regard to two items that were
discussed by my previous lawyer during my initial bond hearing that was approximately
three years ago. *A) I do not recall telling my previous lawyer that I thought that the 2020 election was not
stolen.B) It is true that my vocation was to use geophysics to locate buried unexploded ordnance (UXO). It is also true that (at times) I have excavated UXO; however, my previous lawyer misspoke when he said that I disarm/diffuse them. This I do not do.
Point 3: Please forgive my indulgence in defining two terms before moving forward. *
Allocution is defined as, “In a criminal procedure, allocution usually refers to the statement of a defendant, made following conviction, and is made prior to sentence. It is the defendant’s opportunity to offer mitigating argument.” * Mitigation is defined as “to make less severe”.
Please help Jeff here.
Point 4: Below is an excerpt from Mr. Tucker Carlson’s interview of Congressman Clay
Higgins that was conducted on January 6, 2024.Mr. Higgins: “I’m following the evidence and to my end it implicates our FBI, the highest level, and a conspiracy within our government at the highest level to create, to set the stage, for a compromised election cycle in 2020 and then the actions that took place on January 4, 5, 6; and then the criminal investigation, arrest, and prosecution, of Americans that they were able to entrap and document with the thousands of cameras that were operating that day. They used that evidence that they knew they were setting up to investigate, arrest, and prosecute the Americans that they had entrapped.”
* Please note that the text above is from a United States Congressman. I humbly offer this quote as a mitigating argument to support the claim that nefarious elements of a potential Federal nature may have been involved that then had an impact on my actions on January 6. On January 6 I initially followed those that instigated, agitated, and motivated the crowd and as such I became engaged in the situation. I was wrong to follow and to get engaged. For that I apologize.
Point 5: The 1512 charge is titled: Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant.
Section c2 of this charge is defined as relating to whoever corruptly obstructs,
influences, or impedes any official proceeding or attempts to do so. * per U.S. v Throckmorton (98 U.S. 61 25 L. Ed. 93 – 1878), “There is no question of the general doctrine that fraud vitiates the most solemn contracts, documents, and even judgements.”Additionally, Gorman v Johnson (46 Ind App. 672, 91 N.E. 971 (Ind App. 1910)), “It is elemental that fraud vitiates all that it touches…” [Vitiates is defined as: legally ineffective; to invalidate] Exhibits 1 and 2 contain evidence that supports that the 2020 election was rife with fraud. I readily admit that this evidence is currently unsubstantiated in a court of law. My mitigating argument for the 1512 c2 charge is that although I am guilty of disrupting an official proceeding; per Exhibits 1 and 2 (and the case law provided above), there is mounting evidence that this was not a valid official proceeding. *
Note that Exhibit F is 281 pages in length and is titled: “The Fingerprints of Fraud”. This document can be found at http://fingerprintsoffraud.com. *
Note that Exhibit G is 32 pages in length and is Titled “Summary of Election Fraud in the 2020
Presidential Election in the Swing States.”** Please help Jeff Sabol here.
Point 6: In regards to the 2111 charge of robbery in which I was guilty of robbing Officer AW of his baton, Exhibit H (long video) shows that there were multiple bodies on the ground in front of officer AW. My mitigating argument for this charge is that upon seeing bodies on the ground my reflex was to remove the object that I believed was the cause.
Please note that I show no intent to engage with officer AW after the baton is removed. *
Point 7: In regards to the 111B charge in which I was found guilty of assault with a dangerous or deadly weapon on Officer BM, my mitigating arguments are (per Exhibit H):
A) My intent was to help someone pull a body away from the chaos that existed at the tunnel entrance.
B) From my initial angle there is no way that I could know that this was an officer until he was already moving down the stairs.
C) The video shows that I exhibit no malice towards officer BM once he is at the bottom of the stairs.
Please note that I immediately then go to my left to help someone who is unconscious. In the span
of approximately 20 seconds, my mindset was: remove baton, assist with moving person from tunnel entrance, help unconscious person.Point 8: Please note that the intent of this allocution is not to negate my guilt, nor to
negate any acceptance of responsibility. Per the definition of an allocution, the intent of
this written allocution (and Exhibits) is to solely offer mitigating arguments.Thank You Your Honor.
Very Respectfully,
Jeffrey SabolWhat you just read was my written allocution that my lawyer submitted to my judge (along with 2 videos) just prior to my sentencing. On March 21, I was sentenced to 63 months for robbing an officer of a baton, assaulting an officer with a dangerous and deadly weapon; and disruption of an official proceeding.
Please watch the 2 videos and you decide if my actions warrant a 5 ¼ year sentence.
On a different but related topic, I need your help.
Prior to my incarceration, I prided myself on never missing an alimony or child support payment. My alimony payment ended 7 years ago, but my child support payments continued (even though I had 50% custody).
During the past 38 months that I have already been incarcerated (While I awaited sentencing), I have paid a total of $19,000 in child support, all of which came from my GiveSendGo account.
To be blunt, I will not be able to continue to pay child support unless I have your help. I am not asking for a handout; I am asking for your help in supporting my daughter when I can’t.
Please help Jeff here.
Thank you.
God Bless You –and- God Bless America

Supreme Court Justice, Neil Gorsuch, recently was granted the opportunity of a lifetime — to throw a life raft to some of the J6 protestors who, to this day, are still in the DC Gulag under the Biden regime. You’ll never believe how Justice Gorsuch pulled this one off..
Elijah Schaffer goes over all this and MORE on today’s Beyond the Headlines!
The post Neil Gorsuch DESTROYS DOJ’s Case Against J6 PROTESTORS | Beyond the Headlines appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
The US Supreme Court on Tuesday heard oral arguments in Fischer v. United States and at issue is statute 18 USC §1512(c)(2):
Whoever corruptly—
(1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding; or
(2) otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
The Supreme Court is expected to issue a decision on Fischer v United States this summer which means hundreds of J6 cases could be upended.
Biden’s corrupt DOJ has charged more than 300 J6ers with 18 USC §1512(c)(2). Additionally, two of the four charges against Trump in Jack Smith’s DC case are conspiracy to obstruct so the Supreme Court’s ruling could torpedo the special counsel’s case against Trump as well.
Justice Clarence Thomas grilled DOJ Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar as she droned on and on about how the government is fairly using the §1512(c)(2) statute to prosecute hundreds of J6 defendants for merely walking through the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Justice Thomas pointed out that there have been many violent protests that have interfered with proceedings (Kavanaugh hearings).
“There have been many violent protests that have interfered with proceedings. Has the government applied this provision to other protests in the past and has this been the government’s position throughout the lifespan of the statute?” Justice Thomas asked the DOJ lawyer.
Justice Thomas asked Prelogar if the government had ever used this provision for other protestors.
Prelogar broke her back trying to explain to the Supreme Court why leftist protestors weren’t prosecuted as January 6 defendants were.
AUDIO:
Special Counsel Jack Smith suggested he will ignore the Supreme Court if it reverses the obstruction statute this summer.
Jack Smith suggested he will find a workaround if the Supreme Court reverses two of the charges against Trump.
Smith claims the ‘obstruction’ charges will still stand against Trump because the alternative electoral certificates represent “documents” that were fraudulently used in an “official proceeding.”
These papers weren’t even sent or signed by Trump!
Jack Smith isn’t the only one who is threatening to circumvent the Supreme Court.
Last month US Attorney from DC Matthew Graves fired a warning shot to the US Supreme Court – and J6ers serving time for 18 USC §1512(c)(2), the ‘obstruction’ statute pending before SCOTUS.
The post Justice Clarence Thomas Grills DOJ Lawyer on January 6 ‘Obstruction’ Statute That Could Torpedo Jack Smith’s DC Case Against Trump (AUDIO) appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
The United States Supreme Court is holding arguments in Fischer v. US, a case that could reduce criminal charges filed against more than 350 Trump supporters who participated in the US Capitol protest on January 6, 2021.
The Department of Injustice (DOJ) is using a statute called “obstructed a Congressional proceeding” to prosecute hundreds of these protesters simply for exercising their First Amendment rights. This statute is a serious felony with the potential of 20 years behind bars.
CNN notes that this case also has implications for President Donald Trump, who was charged by corrupt special counsel Jack Smith for exercising his First Amendment rights on that fateful day.
Justice Neil Gorsuch stole the show this morning by blowing up the foundation of the DOJ’s case against the nonviolent J6 protesters. While the Trump supporters simply exercised their freedom of speech, there were leftist individuals who committed actual felonies that the Biden regime gave a complete pass to.
Gorsuch threw out several meaningful real-life incidents involving these left-wing figures, including the unlawful sit-ins during a trial (which occurred during the Brett Kavanaugh hearing in 2018), Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) pulling a fire alarm to prevent a critical vote to keep the government open, hecklers during the State of the Union, and so-called “mostly peaceful” protests (BLM riots).
Gorsuch asked Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar whether those actions would qualify for 20 years in prison. Prelogar tried to spin her out of the questioning. She claimed that the DOJ would need to prove “corrupt intent” and whether these incidents qualified as a “meaningful” disruption of the proceedings.
Of course, all of these incidents recounted by Gorsuch met those qualifications, meaning the leftists, including Bowman, should have received years in prison. But Prelogar could not really answer Gorsuch’s queries unless she wanted to admit defeat.
LISTEN:
Supreme Court Justice Gorsuch nukes Joe Biden’s DOJ over January 6th sentences:
Gorsuch lists multiple cases of folks who “obstructed a Congressional proceeding” without receiving a 20 year sentence.
1. Sit-ins at a trial (Kavanaugh protests)
2. Pulling a fire alarm (Rep.… pic.twitter.com/DWETkzi7JI— End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) April 16, 2024
Gorsuch was having none of Prelogar’s nonsensical spinning and pushed back. “We went around that tree yesterday,” he told her.
He then pinpointed the most asinine part of her statement. “So a mostly peaceful protest that disrupts an official proceeding for an indefinite period would not be covered?”
Prelogar responded by trying to bring up the BS “intent” excuse again before Gorsuch finally shut her down.
Joseph Fischer, a former Pennsylvania police officer who participated in the J6 protests, is the person who brought the case to the Supreme Court. His lawyers point out Fischer spent less than four minutes inside the building and advanced fewer than 25 feet.
DOJ prosecutors argue differently, though. They claim Fischer warned his police chief that things might get violent, and he texted that protesters should drag Democrats “into the street and have a mob trial.”
A grand jury returned a seven-count indictment against Fischer in March 2021, just two months after the attack. The indictment included charges of civil disorder, assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers, as well as the obstruction charge. He faces at least 20 years in prison.
The case before the Supreme Court involves only that last charge as CNN notes.
The Gateway Pundit has extensively reported on the suffering of J6 protesters under the Biden regime. In addition to outrageous sentencing, some were assaulted by Capitol Police officers, denied medical care, and have been beaten in prison.
A ruling favoring Fischer could help right the injustices many have suffered, but the scars will remain permanent.

The calendar seems to melt away – over 3 years ago J6 political prisoner Jake Lang was arrested by the Biden regime. Jake was identified from his social media and arrested on January 16th, 2021, and remains incarcerated without bail or trial for over THREE YEARS now.
On January 6, 2021 Jake attended the protest and rally in Washington DC because he believed the election was stolen from Donald Trump. Jake was one of the over one million Trump supporters who turned out that day to hear President Trump speak at the Ellipse in Washington DC.
Later that day, Jake walked to the US Capitol, where he was gassed and trampled when Capitol Police pushed Trump supporters down the stairs. Jake was nearly killed when he was buried under a sea of bodies as US Capitol police continued to push Trump supporters down the steps on top of him.
Jake was able to crawl out from under the pile. He then saw that Trump supporter Philip Anderson was knocked out and being smothered under the pile of protesters so he pulled Philip to safety and saved his life. Jake and others were there when Rosanne Boyland was killed that day. Rosanne was pushed down by police, trampled, and then beaten with a police stick by Officer Lila Morris. Rosanne died on the steps of the US Capitol.
Two weeks ago, General Michael Flynn and The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft held a Twitter space for Jake Lang who was “celebrating” his fourth birthday in prison. Jake has not been tried yet in a DC Kangaroo Court for his actions that day.
After the Twitter Space Jake was removed from his cell in the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center and placed in isolation.
No one has heard from Jake Lang since then.
On Monday afternoon Jake Lang left a horrifying message on Jim Hoft’s phone. Jake Lang is being tortured in the Brooklyn MDC.
Hey, Jim Hoft. Hey, Jim Hoft. Oh, man, this is horrific. This is the most grotesque and inhumane conditions of confinement I have ever had to suffer under. Brooklyn MDC has retaliated and tossed me into solitary confinement for exercising my First Amendment right in that beautiful birthday, my fourth birthday in prison with General Flynn and yourself.
We had thousands of people listening live, and they have now stripped me of my First Amendment rights. I was able to get one phone call out in 30 days, and now I’m able to call through a legal line. My lawyer set up.
So I’m making a plea to the American people. They are torturing January 6ers. They’re torturing prisoners inside Brooklyn Federal Prison. I’ve been wearing the same pair of underwear for a week, shirt, socks. They have completely denied any entertainment whatsoever. No books, no radio, no phone calls home. I’m just in a bleak, desolate prison cell, separated completely from society.
They tried to “unperson” me. They tried to make me a non person not into and stripping of all my constitutional and God-given rights. And this is an aberration of justice that cannot stand.
Please call Brooklyn MDC and complain about Edward Jacob Lang being held in solitary confinement for doing virtually nothing wrong.
Thank you, Jim. God bless you. God bless The Gateway Pundit. Please call.
So where are the human rights groups? Where are the ACLU, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch?
Jake Lang also filed a lawsuit against Attorney General Merrick Garland where he describes the horrible prison abuse and torture he has suffered.
Please contact MDC Brooklyn below and demand their torture of prisoners stops today!

On Saturday, we asked The Gateway Pundit readers for help to reunite J6er Isaac Thomas with his beloved dog Izzy, and you, dear readers, came through again and raised the funds needed within a few hours.
Isaac has been seperated from Izzy for eight months while he was in the DC Gulag. In February, he was released from the Washington Correctional Treatment to await trial, and his quest to be reunited with Izzy began.
Isaac sent the following note to thank you for making it possible to get Izzy back by his side during an absolutely brutal, emotional, and difficult time after the Biden regime has left him with nothing.
During his confinement, two generous J6ers, Jalise and Mark Middleton, took care of Isaac’s beloved dog Izzy.
Unfortunately, they were found guilty and will be sentenced in May. So they could no longer take care of Izzy. This left Isaac afraid that he would lose Izzy forever.
On Saturday The Gateway Pundit readers raised over $10,000 for Isaac to be reunited with Izzy! THANK YOU!
Isaac wrote to TGP:
I would like to give a huge thank you to Jalise and Mark Middleton of American Patriot Relief for taking care of Izzy for me during my time in the DC Gulag. They did an amazing job making sure she was happy and taken care of.
Please keep Jalise and Mark in your prayers as they prepare for their sentencing next month. They are amazing Patriots who deserve so much better than this. I’m sure Izzy will miss them and miss Texas!!
Who knows, maybe we’ll get to go back someday when all of this is over and visit.
And thank you to The Gateway Pundit and their readers for continuing to support the J6ers.
You guys really are our biggest supporters!
Thank you guys for supporting me and my family!
God Bless all of you.
Isaac

So many important things have been ripped away from J6ers as the government continues its cruel treatment of conservative political dissidents.
The Gateway Pundit has shared the heartbreaking story of what has been done to J6er Isaac Thomas.
Isaac was orphaned at the age of 6 and endured years of abuse and neglect as a child— trafficked through various placements while in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services. Thomas emancipated himself at 16 and got involved in political activism.
Isaac was inspired to speak out for other victims of the failed foster care system and went to the United States Capitol with thousands of other Americans to peacefully protest and make their muffled voices heard.
Isaac was only 18 years old when he attended the January 6 protests.
In February, Isaac was released from the Washington Correctional Treatment following a ruling issued by US District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly to await trial.
Thomas has been incarcerated for seven months after he was detained in pretrial custody during a hearing last August when Judge Kotelly sided with prosecutors to revoke his bond.
After filing two motions, his new attorney, Steven Metcalf, presented new facts to the judge and dismantled the Justice Department’s bogus allegations leveled against Thomas in a series of comprehensive court filings and finally persuaded the judge to, at least temporarily, restore his freedom.
During his confinement, two generous J6ers took care of Isaac’s beloved dog Izzy. Unfortunately, they were found guilty and will be sentenced in May.
Isaac has been separated across the country from Izzy and is now looking for help to raise the funds needed to bring her home to him.
Any pet lover knows how important they are to us. They are family. They are unconditional love. They are a loving port in a storm when the world bears down on you. They are healing, and they are a blessing.
During an absolutely brutal, emotional, and difficult time, having Izzy back by his side will provide much-needed love and companionship for Isaac.
Isaac shared the following with readers:
Hi, everyone; my name is Isaac Thomas. In January of 2023 I was charged for attending the January 6th protest. In August of 2023, my bond was revoked, forcing me to leave everything behind. I was released about a month ago with nothing pending trial, and I am starting fresh.
I’m making this fund because my puppy, Isabelle (Izzy) was sent to Texas during my time in the DC gulag and I need help funding the costs to get her brought home to me. I haven’t got to see her since I was locked up 8 months ago and would really like to get her home.
Please donate if you are able, thank you guys for supporting me and my family!
God bless all of you

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser were both warned about the security situation prior to January 6th and both of them turned down National Guard troops at the US Capitol that day.
Pelosi and Mayor Muriel Bowser turned down thousands of National Guard troops at the Capitol on January 6 for political reasons.
Chris Wray’s FBI also refused to notify the Trump administration and his cabinet secretaries that they believed there could be violence like the mass protests at the Capitol that took place that day.
Nancy Pelosi also refused the National Guard at the US Capitol due to politics.
Capitol Police Chief Steve Sund said he asked House and Senate security officials for permission to request that the D.C. National Guard be placed on standby in case he needed quick backup. But they both turned him down.
John Solomon from Just The News released an explosive report in 2022 that revealed Capitol Police were first warned about possible violence at the January 6th protests TWO WEEKS before the planned rallies.
Pelosi, Mayor Bowser, and other government officials turned down the National Guard anyway. They hoped for an “insurrection.”
Solomon says the DHS and District of Columbia were made aware of online threats of violence two weeks before the protests and rally.
On Friday, The Daily Mail released an explosive report that destroys the Jan. 6 Committee’s narratives on January 6!
At least THREE NATIONAL GUARD MEMBERS will testify this coming week that they were ready to be deployed on January 6 but THE PENTAGON held them back!
This directly brings General Milley’s actions into question!
Kash Patel tipped us off last month that there were more reports like this coming.
The Daily Mail reported:
Whistleblowers from the Washington D.C. National Guard will tell Congress that Donald Trump did want them deployed during the Capitol riot and the Army delayed telling them to mobilize in a bombshell hearing next week.
DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal that at least three officers will appear Wednesday before a House subcommittee to claim their stories were also ignored by the Democrat-led January 6 committee, because it didn’t fit their narrative.
The hearing will aim to further prove that Acting Defense Secretary at the time Christopher Miller did give advance approval of D.C. National Guard deployment at the direction of then-President Donald Trump.
A person familiar with the review by the House Administration Committee’s Oversight Subcommittee said the whistleblowers will provide testimony that then-Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy delayed by at least two hours providing official notice to D.C. National Guard Commander William Walker to deploy troops to the Capitol.
Instead of getting to the bottom of the breakdown in communication and focusing on improving Military preparedness for future incidents, the witnesses feel the January 6 panel was solely focused on pinning blame for the events that day on Trump…
Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund and DC National Guard leader Maj. Gen. Walker said that Army Lt. Gen. Walter Piatt (ret.), who was Army Staff Director at the time of the riot, delayed or ignored Sund’s request for National Guard support.
They accused Piatt of saying: ‘I don’t like the visual of the National Guard standing a police line with the Capitol in the background.’
…The D.C. National Guard whistleblowers will be able during Wednesday’s hearing to corroborate this despite Piatt testifying under oath that he never mentioned optics.
Read the rest here.
Think of how wicked these people are! Today there are hundreds of men and women in prison for their actions on on January 6. These rotten officials like Nancy Pelosi know this but don’t care how many lives they destroy to take down Trump.

126 House Republicans joined Democrats on Friday to renew the FISA warrantless spy program by a vote of 273 to 147.

Shortly before final passage, the House rejected a commonsense amendment from Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) which would require a warrant to spy on Americans. 86 Republicans voted for authoritarianism, with Speaker Mike Johnson casting the decisive vote.
NEW: 86 Republicans just voted against @RepAndyBiggsAZ’s amendment to require a warrant to spy on Americans under FISA causing it to fail.

Former Trump official Kash Patel reminded Americans of the hundreds of thousands of times the DOJ-FBI used FISA to spy on Americans.
According to an official intelligence document the FBI illegally used FISA 278,000 times to spy on Americans including their political enemies like President Trump, Trump donors, and January 6 families.
This comes from the 2022 memorandum on FISA abuses.
On page 29 of the report: 23,132 separate queries on J6 protesters to find evidence of possible foreign influence despite having no indication of foreign influence related to the query terms used.
On page 31 of the report the analysts admitted to 278,000 non-compliant FBI queries of raw FISA-acquired information.
Kash Patel posted this on Truth Social.
Republican lawmakers passed the FISA renewal anyway. They do not represent the people. They represent their deep state masters.
