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...

(see links) Last week 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. Graves threatened to seek more prison time for the J6ers if the Supreme Court reverses the obstruction statute this summer. The high court announced it will hear 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...

Matthew Graves, US Attorney for the District of Columbia on Thursday held a press conference on the 3rd anniversary of the January 6 Capitol protest. “It’s been three years since a violent mob attacked our Capitol,” said Matthew Graves, a Biden appointee. Graves thanked the public for assisting the FBI in identifying J6rs and said more Capitol protesters would be arrested. “An important note about those who remained outside the [Capitol] building,” Graves said. “We have used our prosecutorial discretion and to primarily to focus on those who entered the building, are those who engaged in violent or rough conduct...

US Attorney Matthew Graves has suggested that those who were at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and did not go into the building can be prosecuted. Graves said, that protestors—if they were on restricted Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, 2021, and had not gone in the building—would have "committed a federal crime."

[AG] Merrick B. Garland is the public face of the government’s unprecedented effort to identify, arrest, and prosecute those connected to the Jan. 6, 2021 protest at the Capitol. But the person handling the day-to-day management of the one of the largest and most politically freighted efforts in the history of American law enforcement has largely flown under the radar: Matthew Graves, the U.S. attorney for [DC]. [snip] The political nature of the [Jan6] prosecutions is illustrated by the long partisan history of Graves and his wife, Fatima Goss Graves. According to documents on file with the U.S. Senate, Matthew...

Jack Posobiec spoke with investigative journalist Julie Kelly about why the wife of the US attorney for Washington, DC, Matthew Graves, has had an "all-access" pass to the White House, despite President Joe Biden insisting that the White House and Justice Department are completely separate entitites. Graves refused to allow Hunter Biden to be prosecuted in his district, according to IRS whistleblower Gary Shapely. (snip) "According to that IRS whistleblower, Matthew Graves made that decision in March of 2022. That month, according to White House visitor logs, his wife visited the White House five times. Is she discussing this criminal...

The New York Times confirmed one of the bombshell claims made about the Department of Justice's mishandling of its probe into Hunter Biden but buried it deep in its Tuesday report. After Biden pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor tax violations and entered a pretrial diversion agreement regarding the felony gun registration charge, the House Ways and Means Committee released testimony from two IRS whistleblowers who alleged that President Biden's son received preferential treatment by the Justice Department. IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley claimed that U.S. Attorney David Weiss alleged to multiple witnesses that he was told by the DOJ that he...

A bipartisan organization is calling for an investigation into Rep. James Comer’s (R-Ky.) comments about a missing whistleblower connected to the House GOP’s ongoing investigation of President Biden and his family. ..... Snip..... The organization, Facts First USA, sent a letter to U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves asking him to investigate Comer, who the group says is likely lying about having an informant related to the GOP investigation into the Biden family. The group said that if he is lying, he could be in violation of federal law. “Representative James Comer recently revealed that the ‘informant’ he is relying on for...

@ColumbiaBugle Rep. @mtgreenee Calls Out DC US District Attorney Matthew Graves For His Malicious Prosecutions Of January 6th Defendants Including Matthew Perna -Matthew Perna had no criminal record. -Peacefully entered the Capitol through an open door. -Stayed inside roughly 20 minutes and never assaulted anyone or damaged any property. Right before his sentencing DA Graves intervened and asked the Judge to delay the sentencing so they could seek more prison time for Matthew Perna. Two weeks later Matthew Perna committed suicide. He was 37 years old.

During the 2020 presidential election cycle, Matthew M. Graves donated $2,000 to the Biden-Harris campaign. The modest contribution was a no-brainer for Graves. Not only was he a domestic policy advisor for the campaign, he worked at the time for the same white-shoe law firm as Douglas Emhoff, Kamala Harris’ husband.Graves’ kowtowing paid off. In November 2021, Graves took the helm of one of the most politically-charged U.S. attorneys office’s in the country: the District of Columbia. Since then, Graves has escalated the pace and nature of the ongoing investigation into the events of January 6. His fixation on a...

We should be suspicious of weird coincidences. It’s week five of the Justice Department’s most high-profile—and high-stakes—criminal trial related to the events of January 6, 2021. Five members of the Proud Boys face the rare “seditious conspiracy” charge. Guilty verdicts—almost certain given the government’s near-perfect conviction rate for January 6 defendants—would build legal momentum for a similar indictment against Donald Trump. (The trial is so crucial that Matthew Graves, the Biden-appointed U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia responsible for prosecuting every January 6 case, has shown up in the courtroom on at least three occasions.) Trump is a major...

Just like everything out of Garland’s department, the notion that Jack Smith is in charge and his staff is “independent” is a total fabrication. To hear the media tell it, Jack Smith, the special counsel appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate Donald Trump’s alleged theft of classified documents and any illegal interference in the certification of the 2020 election results, is feverishly working away. Smith, according to a recent story in Yahoo News, issued subpoenas seeking more information related to Trump’s attempts to “overturn” the 2020 election. The subpoenas target “election officials in seven battleground states that were...

The U.S. attorney for D.C. says he plans to double January 6 prosecutions in the coming months. Meanwhile, tone-deaf GOP politicians prepare to feed the hand that bites them. The sentencing of Steve Bannon, a longtime confidant of Donald Trump and harsh critic of the Joe Biden regime, wasn’t the only action at the Elijah Barrett Prettyman Courthouse in Washington, D.C. on Friday. Around the same time U.S. District Court Judge Carl Nichols announced his decision to send Bannon to prison for four months following his contempt of Congress conviction, Nichols’ colleagues were handling several cases related to the Department...

Last month several CBS employees who work for Colbert’s late-night show were arrested in the US Capitol, trespassing after hours, and HARASSING GOP lawmakers. The US Capitol was closed at the time. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) let the insurrectionists in the building. Colbert’s goons were not only harassing Republican lawmakers after hours but they also went and harassed and mocked the families of the January 6 prisoners held in prison for over a year without a trial. ... From the US Attorney’s office in DC: “We do not believe it is probable that the Office would be able to obtain...
