Saturday, on the third anniversary of the January 6, 2021, demonstration on Capitol Hill, the FBI arrested three "fugitives" from justice in Florida. Jonathan Daniel Pollock, Olivia Michele Pollock, and Joseph Daniel Hutchinson III were arrested on a ranch near Groveland, Florida. Jonathan Pollock--were one fool enough to believe everything the FBI claims--might arguably have been worth a three-year manhunt. I mean, he punched a cop or two; that's surely a threat to the republic. I mean, what if the George Floyd rioters in Portland had gotten away with punching cops? The charges against the other two were so chickensh** that they were released on bail.
They didn't show up for trial, probably in no small part due to the draconian treatment and sentences they saw meted out to other January 6 demonstrators.
It was no accident that these three people were selected to be a trophy for the Ahab-like obsession that Attorney General Merrick Garland and US Attorney for DC Matthew Graves have with the January 6 demonstrations.
On January 5, Garland said in a press conference, in which he said (go to 2:38 in the video clip below) that “the Justice Department will hold all January 6 perpetrators at any level accountable under the law whether they were present that day or were otherwise criminally responsible for the assault on our democracy.”
Our work continues. As I've said before, the Justice Department will hold all January 6 perpetrators at any level accountable under the law whether they were present that day or were otherwise criminally responsible for the assault on our democracy.
On the same day, the US Attorney for the District of Columbia also gave a speech celebrating the Justice Department's monomaniacal pursuit of anyone with any association with the events of January 6.
DC U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves is making clear that the DOJ is now going to target Americans who were around the Capitol on J6 but did not enter the building pic.twitter.com/bj4i3QfHe9— ALX 🇺🇸 (@alx) January 6, 2024
An important note when it comes to our prosecutions of those who remained outside the building. We have used our prosecutorial discretion to primarily focus on those who entered the building or those who engaged in violent or corrupt conduct on Capitol grounds. But, if a person knowingly entered the restricted area without authorization, they had already committed a federal crime. Make no mistake. Thousands of people occupied an area they were not authorized to be present in the first place.
Keep in mind that this is the guy who has refused to prosecute 67 percent of the felony arrests in DC.
The $1.7 trillion spending bill passed by Congress and signed by Joe Biden on December 29 earmarked an additional $34 million to the Department of Justice to support the January 6 prosecution in 2024. The Department of Justice claims it has a list of about 3,000 Americans who will be targeted for arrest if the Garland-Graves plan is put into operation. The only thing that may prevent this scheme from going into effect is the Supreme Court.
BACKGROUND: Federal Appeals Court Rules That for January 6 Defendants, Standing Still and Quiet Is Disorderly Conduct
Justice is not being served by this vendetta. The injustice that has been perpetrated so far will be magnified, as DOJ starts arresting people who were merely on Capitol Grounds.
If we are so lucky as to regain control of the White House in November, one of the first acts the new president must do is stop this shameful Javert-like harrying of Americans. The new president should also empower a special counsel to identify everyone who participated in the perpetuation of this travesty and put them on the street. Then he needs to do what Donald Trump should have done before January 21, 2021: issuing a blanket pardon and amnesty for any crimes that may have occurred on January 6.
I was there in spirit. Come and get me! :)

What a joy it was to find this GREAT 10-hour video on the early morning of the 2015 election!
Did you object to the Jan 6 kerfuffle? Then you must have been in favor of it. Cuff ‘em Dan O!
High Five Bro!
To think this POS was a candidate for SCOTUS.
The chickensh*t former republic of the United Banana States.
Windage- 2 right, one up.
EFFING Speaker and worthless GOPe who continued using OUR $ to persecute us.
The behavior of illegitimate administrations the world over because in their fragile minds the worst crime ever is to question them.
I’ve talked of leaving this US of S Africa
But this is Sparta
I hear that.

MAGA rules! Potato drools.
You’ve got that right!
Bttt
It is time. Time to disband the Department of Justice and it’s Gestapo Goon Squad, the FBI. Every flipping bit of them. They should only be involved in protesting our borders and supporting a standing military. Give all the other power federal agencies have back to the States.
The J6 freedom fighters were protesting the stolen election and demanding a recount. These are the heinous crimes for which these people are being punished. The vendetta is so over the top that it is proof positive that Biden stole the election.
Garland-Ferret faced Himmler wannabe
Pure provocateur
Absolutely.
