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 the object’s integrity or...

Policy violations that ordinarily would lead to firings instead resulted in promotions for officers responsible for protecting top congressional leadership. Corruption is endemic at the highest levels of the United States Capitol Police, especially among the special agents and officers who serve in the department’s dignitary protection detail, a Blaze Media investigation has found. Internal discipline reports show a pattern of officers failing upward. Proven instances of fraud, forgery, theft, perjury, and drunk driving on duty going back to the late 1990s led to promotions rather than dismissals and prosecutions, discipline reports obtained by Blaze Media show. High-ranking USCP officials,...

VIDEOPathetic CBS shill Scott MacFarlane is pretending he has just broken new ground with his laughable report about the people who built the gallows in front of the Capitol in the early morning hours of January 6, 2021. Contrast MacFarlane's "scoop" with a much more detailed report by independent journalist Ed Martin of the Pro America Report which preceded the CBS poor excuse for a story by five months on October 13, 2023. Who appears to want to find out exactly who built the gallows and who appears to be in coverup mode by merely trickling out details which are...

In late 2023 and early 2024, the number of FBI arrests and new criminal cases opened on January 6, 2021, accelerated to the point that federal courts in the District of Columbia could no longer support the weight. Reportedly, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has charged and arrested ninety-three persons in the last two months. According to one estimate, at the present pace, there might be 445 new cases on the docket in 2024—more than in 2022 and 2023. In all, the FBI had detained 1,358 persons as of March 6 and the DOJ had filed criminal charges against them...

Former President Donald Trump is directly calling for the imprisonment of nine of his political opponents — including former Congresswoman Liz Cheney. In a post on his Truth Social platform Sunday, Trump shared an article from far-right writer John Solomon which alleged that the Jan. 6 committee “withheld crucial evidence” in its probe by not releasing the testimony of a Secret Service agent who drove Trump’s limo on Jan. 6. The driver notably disputed the account of former White House staffer Cassidy Hutchinson — who claimed Trump tried to grab the steering wheel of the limo in an effort to...

<p>Cheney and the Democratic-led House Select Committee on January 6 argued that there was insufficient proof to substantiate assertions by Trump officials that the White House had urged for 10,000 National Guard troops prior to the demonstrations in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, 2021.</p>

Former Vice President Mike Pence was on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday morning. He told moderator Margaret Brennan that the use of the term hostages for January 6th defendants was “unacceptable.” “What do you think when you hear him refer to those people facing charges as hostages and patriots?” Brennan asked Pence. “Well, I think it’s unfortunate at a time that there are American hostages being held in Gaza that the President or any other leaders who would refer to people that are moving through our justice system as hostages and it’s just, it’s just unacceptable,” Pence responded.

VIDEORemember all the hoopla by the media in June 2002 about the STAR WITNESS of the J6 committee? Not just any witness but the STAR WITNESS. It was supposed to be such a big deal that they even got a TV producer to arrange the testimony as a big production number for the public. Well, Cassidy Hutchinson turned out to the the STAR WITNESS yet her testimony was nothing but third hand hearsay that, as more facts started coming out later, she was forced to issue a FIFTEEN PAGE correction to her testimony. FIFTEEN PAGES. One' could understand a few...

It was like old home week for the alphabet agencies at their reunion at the U.S. Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. In addition to all kinds of feds, assets, narcs, PCs, informants, and other characters from the Department of Defense, FBI, Department of Homeland Security, ATF, and the Department of Justice, you can add CIA to the party. What were they doing there? What a fantastic question. Judicial Watch sued in federal court to uncover January 6 documents relating to "records and communications regarding shots being fired inside the U.S. Capitol, as well as requests for Bureau of Alcohol,...

Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) released his January 6 Initial Findings Report on Monday, March 11. Rep. Loudermilk is the Committee on House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight Chairman. Chairman Loudermilk added this on today’s report: “For nearly two years former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s January 6th Select Committee promoted hearsay and cherry-picked information to promote its political goal – to legislatively prosecute former President Donald Trump,” said Chairman Loudermilk. “It was no surprise that the Select Committee’s final report focused primarily on former President Trump and his supporters, not the security failures and reforms needed to ensure the United States Capitol is...

Republican congressional investigators have opened an inquiry into the extent of “collusion” between the Democrat-run House Jan. 6 committee and the Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis during her prosecution of Donald Trump. In a status report released Monday, the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee chaired by Rep. Barry. Loudermilk, R-Ga., said that it located a letter in which Willis in 2021 asked for the House Democrats to send her any evidence that would further her prosecution of Trump.

A House committee investigating the special Jan. 6 committee released a sweeping report Monday that Republicans say demonstrates that four other White House employees did not corroborate key witness Cassidy Hutchinson’s dramatic account of former President Donald Trump's actions that day. “None of the White House Employees corroborated Hutchinson’s sensational story about President Trump lunging for the steering wheel of the Beast. However, some witnesses did describe the President’s mood after the speech at the Ellipse,” says the 81-page report by the House Administration Committee’s oversight subcommittee, led by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., a section of which was obtained by...

Former Rep. Liz Cheney’s January 6 Committee suppressed evidence that President Donald Trump pushed for 10,000 National Guard troops to protect the nation’s capital, a previously hidden transcript obtained by The Federalist shows.Cheney and her committee falsely claimed they had “no evidence” to support Trump officials’ claims the White House had communicated its desire for 10,000 National Guard troops. In fact, an early transcribed interview conducted by the committee included precisely that evidence from a key source. The interview, which Cheney attended and personally participated in, was suppressed from public release until now.

Former President Donald Trump claimed vindication Monday after new evidence released by Congress undercut two sensational claims Democrats made about him during the Jan. 6 investigation, including that he tried to commandeer his Secret Service vehicle that day to go to the Capitol and never offered National Guard troops for extra protection ahead of the fateful event. “These were made-up, fabricated stories,” Trump told Just the News in an exclusive interview. Trump spoke hours after the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee, chaired by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., released transcripts and other evidence in an interim report that concluded the Democrat-run House...

Russian armed forces and associated groups systematically use torture in occupied areas of Ukraine, pointing to a "deliberate policy", a United Nations expert said on Friday. The UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, Alice Jill Edwards, said she had drawn that conclusion following a visit to war-torn Ukraine in September. "The volume of credible allegations of torture and other forms of cruel, inhuman or humiliating treatment or punishment (indicate that) torture is an element of Russia's war policy," she told the UN Human Rights Council. "These grievous crimes appear to be neither random nor incidental." Speaking to reporters, Edwards said Ukrainian...
