Storming The Capital 2: A Counter Storm is Coming

Rats jumping the sinking ship. They know Trump won't protect them. This is how these things usually fall apart. They give up everything they can to get lenient treatment. It's a game of musical chairs.

Bennie Thompson says the January 6th Committee will start naming members of the House and the Senate who texting and calling the White House and the Willard War Room. Live Committee Hearings as well next year and I'm planning on watching.

Good thing we have the House, and without voting rights we can lose it...Need to get this done by next Nov and indictments must happen, etc.

Manchin and Sinema may go down as the last chance to save democracy, and they say no...

Haha I love Bennie Thompson.

These conservative whites still do not get it after like 50 years. Nobody is afraid of them and all their braindead zombie white supremacist violence. Lol after all these decades, they still have not gotten the memo.

Gym Jordan is puzzlingly absent as is Matt Gaetz

Jim Jordan sent one of the texts revealed by January 6 committee - CNN

Rep. Jim Jordan forwarded a text message to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows on January 5, outlining a legal theory that then-Vice President Mike Pence had the authority to stand in the way of the certification of the 2020 election.

A portion of that message was read by the January 6 select committee during their contempt report presentation against Meadows in a meeting this week. The full House voted Tuesday night to refer Meadows to the Justice Department.

A spokesperson for Jordan, an Ohio Republican, confirmed to CNN that he forwarded a text to Meadows on January 5 that was sent to him by Joseph Schmitz, a former Department of Defense inspector general. Schmitz's text included a draft presentation arguing that Pence had the constitutional authority to object to the certification of election results from certain states.

"Mr. Jordan forwarded the text to Mr. Meadows, and Mr. Meadows certainly knew it was a forward," Russell Dye, a spokesperson for Jordan confirmed to CNN.

The conservative website "The Federalist" was the first to report that Jordan forwarded the text to Meadows.

The committee, during their presentation, shared only a portion of the text on a graphic that was read by Rep. Adam Schiff, a Democrat from California. A committee source tells CNN an aide inadvertently placed a period before the end of a sentence in the graphic that was not in the original text.

Schiff read this from an "unnamed lawmaker:"

'On January 6, 2021, Vice President Mike Pence, as President of the Senate, should call out all electoral votes that he believes are unconstitutional as no electoral votes at all ."

Three sources confirm to CNN that the full text that Jordan forwarded to Meadows included specific information about the legal theory and contained a word document that outlined the strategy.

The sources said the full message was:

"On January 6, 2021, Vice President Mike Pence, as President of the Senate, should call out all electoral votes that he believes are unconstitutional as no electoral votes at all -- in accordance with guidance from founding father Alexander Hamilton and judicial precedence. 'No legislative act,' wrote Alexander Hamilton in Federalist No. 78, 'contrary to the Constitution, can be valid.' The court in Hubbard v. Lowe reinforced this truth: 'That an unconstitutional statute is not a law at all is a proposition no longer open to discussion.' 226 F. 135, 137 (SDNY 1915), appeal dismissed, 242 U.S. 654 (1916). Following this rationale, an unconstitutionally appointed elector, like an unconstitutionally enacted statute, is no elector at all."

The text from Jordan is another example of the intense pressure campaign put on Pence by Trump supporters to act on unproven legal theories as a last-ditch effort to prevent the certification of the election results. It was pressure Pence ultimately rejected.

Now: Judge Tanya Chutkan sentences Robert Palmer, who pleaded guilty to assaulting police at the Capitol on Jan. 6 with a fire extinguisher and wooden plank, to 63 months in prison. It's the longest prison sentence handed down in connection with the insurrection to date.

Here's what the judge had to say,

Good, of course. ALL decent people, ALL patriots applaud this. What I worry about is for this sentence to happen he had to physically assault a cop with a weapon. What about the people who didnt do that only because they couldn't find something to do it with or there were no cops within striking distance but they were there nonetheless and are guilty of fucking sedition or whatever it is? They all need similar sentences.

Here is the info on this:

Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

Easily you have Rudy, Donald Trump (maybe not Jr now that we have seen the texts) and Meadows and Gosar and MTG and Boebert and many others, Bannon etal., guilty of this. Indictments need to come fast.

They are all also guilty of

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

I also say board cons are guilty of association to sedition or insurrection. Probably no law against standing by and knowing this is happening and not doing or saying a damn thing about it.

Bob's Burgers Actor Reportedly Banned From Show For Attending Capitol Riot

Bob's Burgers follows the adventures of the Belcher family, who run a burger restaurant in a small and bizarre town somewhere in North-East America. The show, now in its 12th season, is renowned for its running gags, pun-heavy hallmarks and musical moments, all of which help Bob's Burgers stand out from its contemporaries. The brainchild of Loren Bouchard, the show stars Archer voice actor H. Jon Benjamin as the titular Bob, with Bob's wife, Linda, played by John Roberts and the couple's children, Tina, Gene and Louise, voiced by Dan Mintz, Eugene Mirman and Kristen Schaal, respectively. Jim Dauterive also serves as the show's producer, after previously working on legendary animates show King of the Hill.

But, despite the popularity of his character, Johnston is no longer involved with Bob's Burgers following the revelation of his involvement with the January 6th Capitol riots in which five people lost their lives. According to The Daily Beast, two sources have confirmed that Johnston had been removed from Bob's Burgers, with Johnston's sacking described as a ban from the show. The Daily Beast also report they have reached out to Fox and Disney, but neither would comment on the situation, with one of the sources saying that Fox and Bob's Burgers cast and crew are not looking to make a "big deal" out of Johnston's removal.

Federal judge rules against Oath Keepers, upholding felony count

A federal judge denied a legal challenge against the heaviest charge that has been brought against Capitol riot defendants, upholding the felony count that federal prosecutors have relied on in the months since the attack.

U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta ruled Monday night that prosecutors will be allowed to move forward with the obstruction of an official proceeding charge against 17 defendants affiliated with the right-wing paramilitary group the Oath Keepers.

Judge Denies Michael Flynn's Request For Restraining Order Against January 6 Committee.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congre ... d_nn_tw_ma.

A federal judge in Florida on Thursday denied Michael Flynn’s request for a temporary restraining order to block subpoenas from the Jan. 6 committee compelling him to testify and to produce scores of documents.

The judge took action the day after Flynn filed his motion in federal court in Florida, which is where he lives.

U.S. District Court Judge Mary Scriven in Tampa said Flynn’s motion, filed Wednesday, failed for two reasons, including a lack of urgency.

Judge Scriven said “there is no basis to conclude that Flynn will face immediate and irreparable harm,” which is needed for the order.

Georgia Election Workers File Second Lawsuit Over Election Fraud Charges.

https://apnews.com/article/elections-ne ... a553d4109d.

ATLANTA (AP) — Two Georgia election workers filed a lawsuit Thursday accusing a right-wing cable news channel and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani of defaming them by falsely claiming they engaged in ballot fraud during the 2020 election.

It was the second defamation lawsuit by Fulton County election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss this month over debunked claims they introduced suitcases of illegal ballots and committed other acts of election fraud to try to alter the outcome of the presidential election in Georgia. The pair, a mother and daughter, sued conservative website The Gateway Pundit on Dec. 2.

The Traitor Is Kicking The Proud Boys Under The Bus.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles ... s-on-jan-6.

Former President Donald Trump is seeking dismissal of a suit accusing him of sparking the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, arguing that speakers at political rallies don’t have a “legally enforceable duty of care” to adversaries or others “who might find themselves in the path of impassioned supporters.”

Trump, sued in August by eight Capitol Police officers who claim they were assaulted that day, argued in a court filing that the lawsuit should be tossed out because Trump isn’t “vicariously liable” for the actions of people who heard him speak at a “Stop the Steal” rally before the siege.

Another example of the value of loyalty to the Traitor and how much the Traitor values that loyalty....until he don't want to.

You probably saw the Woman on Rachel's show with her guest host I forgot the name of already, her usual, who interviewed this Woman who's sister was radicalized and died at the insurrection. She has a podcast about it, I might find it. She wants trump and the others held accountable.

She called it an act of terrorism but her sister was not a terrorist. Putting that problem aside, more and more acknowledging what Jan 6 was yet not one con on this board will.

Arbitrator Upholds Bexar County Texas Deputy Firing For Her Participation In 01-06 Insurrection.

https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2021/12 ... itol-riot/.

SAN ANTONIO – An arbitrator has upheld the termination of a Bexar County Sheriff’s Office lieutenant, nearly a year after she posted multiple photographs on Facebook showing her near the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 as a protest erupted into a deadly riot, agency officials confirmed to the KSAT 12 Defenders.

Lt. Roxanne Mathai, 47, was given an order of dismissal in June, five months after Sheriff Javier Salazar said he intended to never have Mathai set foot in a BCSO building again.

Mathai appealed Salazar’s decision, then later argued before an arbitrator that she was simply present for a historic event, agency officials said.

“I just thought it was the most ridiculous thing I’d ever heard. It’s not like you’re standing there for the signing of the Declaration of Independence. That’s a historic event. You’re there when fellow Americans lost their lives. That’s nothing to be proud of,” Salazar said during an interview with KSAT Monday evening.
