Government Opposes AJ Fischer's Novel J6 Change of Venue Request
UncoverDC ^ | 1/29/24 | Wendi Strauch Mahoney

On Jan. 25, after two extensions, the Government argued that AJ Fischer "fails to establish that 'he cannot obtain a fair and impartial trial'" in the District of Columbia. UncoverDC spoke briefly with Fischer, who says the Government barely looked at the research he provided to prove juror bias in the District. According to Fischer, it may be that the "DOJ cannot find an expert to disprove the research" that underpins the arguments in his case. Fischer plans to file for an extension to respond.

One of the most challenging hurdles J6 defendants must overcome in their D.C. court cases is juror bias. The lawsuit filed on Dec. 18, 2023, by J6 Defendant AJ Fischer seeks to prove his case will not be fairly heard by a D.C. jury. Using "novel Change of Venue arguments and legal theory," Fischer's attorneys hope to prove the case must be moved out of the District of Columbia because of insurmountable juror prejudice. The arguments put forward in the lawsuit may be the reason the DOJ received two extensions to reply.

So what novel arguments do Fischer and his attorneys present? Rather than using "outdated polling methods" or supporting methodologies that advocate asking juries whether they can keep their bias in check, Fischer uses data on media saturation and media consumption in the D.C. market as a basis for his arguments. These were also some of the arguments used in Ruby Freeman et al. v. Rudolph W. Giuliani. Fischer's lawsuit states:

There is another article at the same site regarding America First Legal’s case against CISA regarding the 2020 election.

“AFL Lawsuit: CISA [Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency] Withheld Critical Election Administration Information to Further its Own Agenda”

“”CISA, and its media allies, interfered with and undermined the integrity of the 2020 Presidential election,” according to evidence brought forward in an America First Legal lawsuit. The evidence is a part of AFL’s ongoing lawsuit against the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), filed on November 4, 2022. Notably, the organization also filed another parallel lawsuit against the U.S. Department of State on the same day. The lawsuits sought to compel the release of documents related to “the nature and extent of the federal government’s collusion with the media, NGOs, and Big Tech to censor information and shape public opinion.” Make no mistake; an apparatus was established to control how information was curated and meted out to the American public. It was and continues to be the very definition of information warfare. The goal? To capture and imprison minds. “

I understand one does not have to be an American citizen in order to vote in DC?

it that is the case & if the jury pools are pulled from the voter rolls, then a potential juror may or may not be a US citizen.

doesn’t the constitution guarantee the right to a speedy trial by a jury of your peers?

under these conditions, how can one expect a fair trial in DC?

why should a US citizen ever have to stand trial in the DC?

All Political trials should be moved outside DC.
DC courts invariably free Democrats, but convince Republicans. It is more predictable than the time of sunset!

A jury of your peers should mean your home county.....especially for fed trials. In the days of teams, webex etc, there is zero reason why justice cannot be served in this fashion.

4% of DC voted for Trump. Kind of obvious bias there.

DC is intellectually corrupt and stupid to say the least.

One of my friends who is white and Jewish tried to teach in a public school there. He quit because he said that “These kids cannot be taught”!

And he was a political conservative who thought that he could make a difference. Reality kicked him in the nuts and DC kids were the losers.

Today they sit on juries and prove it.

If you are Republican activist, you should avoid getting anywhere near DC (or NYC, or similar spots).

I do not think, I will ever visit DC again!
