While we wait for Attorney General Nominee Pam Bondi to hopefully be confirmed, Interim D.C. U.S. attorney Edward R. Martin Jr. isn’t sitting around sipping tea, and on late Friday afternoon, he axed about 30 federal prosecutors who worked on J6 cases over the last four years. Different accounts are reporting different numbers, but at this hour, the Associated Press calls it “dozens” of personnel fired while the Washington Post reports “about 30.” //

The prosecutors were on probationary status after being converted to full-time from shorter-term positions after Election Day under circumstances the Trump administration is investigating, according to documents from Martin and acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove that were emailed around 5 p.m. and viewed by The Washington Post. //

That wasn’t Martin’s only move, however, and on January 21 he sent a letter to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) inquiring about Schumer’s incendiary comments aimed at the Supreme Court in 2020 when he appeared to call for violence against the justices. //

“We take threats against public officials very seriously. I look forward to your cooperation,” Martin wrote Schumer in a Jan. 21 letter obtained by The Post.

Remember, Milley created a bottleneck in the chain of command during the final hours of the Trump administration, requiring that only orders issued or approved by him were to be followed, effectively elevating himself above the POTUS, the lawful civilian authority at the top of the military chain of command. He can’t be tried for this criminality, but he should be demoted for it. (Nancy Pelosi encouraged him in this venture, and she remains exposed to prosecution for her part in it.)

What is also significant about each of the cases listed above is that the convictions in each case were affirmed by the federal Appeals Court — just like Joseph Fischer’s conviction was affirmed — before the convictions were reversed by the Supreme Court, and those reversals were unanimous in almost every case.

This unbroken line of decisions by the Supreme Court should have been warning enough to Biden DOJ prosecutors who decided to charge hundreds of January 6 protesters with a felony using a novel legal theory under a new statute.

Some involved in making that decision may now pay a price for having done with their jobs – and rightly so. //

Yeah, the lawyers probably looked at this case and noticed that they had a pretty good chance of winning until they got to the Supreme Court. And since that Court only takes a tiny percentage of the cases presented to it, they figured they had good odds. If the GOP had nominated someone who wanted to just put the whole J6 affair behind us, it probably would have worked. Plus it usually takes a few years for cases to get there, so they were likely successful in using this statute to force more jail time than most of the defendants would have served without it.

Trump's US Attorney for the District of Columbia quickly responded:

The Court entered an Order dated January 24, 2025 Amending Conditions of Release (ECF 940). The defendants, however, are no longer subject to the terms of supervised release and probation, as the Executive Order "commute(d) the sentences" of these defendants. As the terms of supervised release and probation are included in the "sentences" of the defendants, the Court may not modify the terms of supervised release; the term is no longer active by effect of the Executive Order. See United States v. Haymond, 588 U.S. 634, 648 (2019) (Supreme Court has acknowledged "that an accused's final sentence includes any supervised release sentence he may receive" and therefore "supervised release punishments arise from and are treat[ ed] as part of the penalty for the initial offense") (cleaned up)).

The United States hereby indicates that the Order must be vacated. //

It made clear that the executive branch did not agree with Mehta's interpretation and would not play any role in enforcing it.

This put Mehta in the embarrassing position of standing his ground and being made a laughing stock or backing down and trying to save a little bit of dignity. He chose the latter.

On Monday night, over the course of around 4 hours, about 225 Jan6 inmates were summarily released from custody in 40 or more BOP facilities.

When there was some reluctance/resistance to those releases happening late at night on federal holiday, the word went out -- I know because I had something to do with that -- for staff to come into the facilities and process the necessary paperwork.

So, the idea that some number of J6 defendants were "lost" or "overlooked" or "hidden" is must stupidity of the highest level.

DOC is not part of BOP. The J6 defendants at DOC were housed under a contract with the US Marshal Service. They dont work for Pres. Trump like BOP works for Pres. Trump. He can't fire them for not doing their job when told like he can fire BOP workers for not doing their job when told.

That's why BOP snapped to when told to do so on Monday night.

Some number of J6 defendants at DOC had "detainers" -- an electronic "hold" that says "Before this person is released pleas contact _____ -- which is usually a state or county prosecutor. That means the person is facing different charges somewhere else in the country. Could be federal too. They need to make a court appearance so that terms of bail can be resolved in that court. //

The incoming Trump Admin had it planned well enough to get 225 inmates released in 4 hours, filed more than 2000 court documents in 48 hours to resolve all charges against 1600 people, yet somehow the "Deep State" is "hiding" 10 people.

When President Trump made a pledge to pardon January 6 prisoners, with the exception of those convicted of acts of violence, and commute the sentences of that latter category, that seemed like an elegant way to resolve a delicate problem of justice and fairness. //

When the list of those with commuted sentences was released, I did some exploring to see what came up. In cases of multiple charges, I chose the most serious one, of course; YMMV. //

(Amuse yourself with this search tool: Search the Index | Insurrection Index). https://insurrectionindex.org/records/ //

The bottom line is that there are only two men on the list, Dominic Pezzola and Zachary Rehl, who could plausibly be characterized as someone who engaged in anything violent. The real bright line was having an affiliation with Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, or 3-Percenters. Everyone on the list except Pezzola has one of those affiliations and was tried for seditious conspiracy. //

In my view, whatever the process, the correct result was reached. Too much fine-tuning between cases would inevitably result in disparities and hard feelings with Trump's base. The political downside, according to The Daily Beast in an article that repeats the totally debunked claim that a Capitol Police officer died in the demonstration, was marginal. "As far as they’re concerned, the issue was already litigated in November, when voters proved they didn’t actually care enough to abandon Trump over the matter." A further calculation probably was that if no one cared in 2024, they won't care in 2026 or 2028.

The only troubling part of the affair is that, given the high profile of that particular campaign promise, no one ever got around to reviewing the cases and making a pardon list until the week before the inauguration. The other troubling part is that the most unjust sentences, those of the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and 3-Percenters for "seditious conspiracy," were allowed to stand while John Brennan, James Comey, and Adam Schiff are allowed to walk around free. //

In a way, Crooked Joe gave Trump a belated Xmas gift. By pardoning his family 15 minutes before leaving office, he took all the air out of the room in the media hysteria over Trump’s J6 pardons.

Trump had nothing personal to gain by granting his pardons, unlike FJB whose family could be made to talk about the family finances if they didn’t get a blanket pardon.

Trump has long promised to issue mass pardons for convicted J6ers once he was back in office, but as RedState's Bob Hoge reported Sunday, he ran into some interference from fellow Republicans like Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, who argued pardons should not be given to those who attacked law enforcement.

Undaunted by the resistance, Trump plowed ahead with his plan as soon as he set foot back in the Oval Office. Trump was certainly emboldened by the fact that his predecessor, Joe Biden, blew all standards and norms to shreds by pardoning his son, Hunter, and various other family members. Pardon-palooza was on.

Officially, President Trump has commuted the sentences of Proud Boys and Oath Keeper members and issued "a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021" for other defendants. Or, as Trump has called them in the past, J6 "hostages."

I’m guessing it would take quite a lot to cross California Democrat Sen. Adam Schiff’s ethical line because in Donald Trump’s first term and in the subsequent corrupt J6 Committee, the long-necked Democrat proved that he was willing to do just about anything to “get Trump.” As fierce and nasty a partisan as you could find in The Swamp, Schiff was a leader of both impeachment trials against the 45th president—now the 47th president—and for years promised evidence of Russia collusion that he never produced.

We're still waiting, Adam.

He is so dishonest that the House censured him in 2023, making him only the 25th House lawmaker to face the punishment in U.S. history.

But evidently, Adam has found someone even more corrupt than himself: former (oh, I type that with such glee!) President Joe Biden, who has thrown out a slew of pardons in his waning days in office. Even Schiff was able to see that the pardons were not in the best interests of the country: //

He tries to claim that Biden’s J6 Committee pardons were “unnecessary” and “unwise” because he and fellow committee members, former Reps. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) and Liz Cheney (R-WY) did such “important work.” But if it was so important, why did Trump become president on Monday despite your stunning conclusions, and why does Biden feel the need to give you a preemptive pardon? A classic Shakespeare quote comes to mind, Adam: You "doth protest too much, methinks." //

“I continue to believe that the grant of pardons to a committee that undertook such important work to uphold the law was unnecessary, and because of the precedent it establishes, unwise,”

Buuuut......I'll take it.

In March 2023, Carlson aired never-before-seen surveillance footage from inside the Capitol during a weeknight segment. The footage, obtained after then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-A.CA) granted him access to security tapes, painted a different picture of the events than the narrative portrayed to the American public.

Carlson declared on his program:

“‘Deadly insurrection.’ Everything about that phrase is a lie. Very little about Jan. 6 was organized or violent. Surveillance video from inside the Capitol shows mostly peaceful chaos.”

Carlson aired previously unreleased footage of one of January 6's most recognizable defendants, Jacob Chansley, also known as the "QAnon Shaman." The segment showed footage of Chansley being escorted through the Capitol by police officers, walking calmly through hallways, and appearing to interact peacefully.

Merrick Garland just put out a press release claiming 5 officers died in the line of duty as a result of January 6.

How many J6 defendants were charged with manslaughter or murder?

None.

You know why?

Because this is a lie that wouldn't hold up in a courtroom.
9:34 AM · Jan 6, 2025. //

It's just gaslighting in the extreme by Garland to make a false statement of such magnitude.

The five officers he is referring to did not die "in the line of duty" in the sense that the term is widely understood. Four of them committed suicide - two of them (Jeffrey Smith and Howard Liebengood) just days after January 6, 2021, and the other two (Gunther Hashida and Kyle deFreytag) within six months of it.

Officer Brian Sicknick's death, which occurred the day after, was the result of natural causes stemming from a stroke, as the DC medical examiner ruled.

The people who died that day were Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt, who was shot and killed by Capitol Police officer Michael Byrd, two men (Kevin Greeson and Benjamin Philips) who died of natural causes stemming from cardiovascular disease, and Rosanne Boyland, whose official cause of death was an amphetamine overdose though some believe she was crushed by the crowd at the Capitol building. //

On the 4th anniversary of January 6th, why didn't Garland recite the names of the five officers he remembered so graciously instead of referring to them anonymously? Because not a single officer died as a result of injuries he/she received defending the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

The battle of wits had begun. And Kinzinger clearly went into a gunfight with a spork.

“Just a quick point, both parties have always accepted the presidential election until one, four years ago,” Kinzinger falsely claimed.

Jennings countered, quite simply, “False, they have not."

1:36 PM · Jan 6, 2025. //

Democrats have objected to election results in each of the Republican-won elections this century.

In 2000, 15 Democrats, including 12 members of the Congressional Black Caucus at the time, would object to counting Florida’s electoral votes.

This was after then-Vice President Al Gore refused to accept the free and fair election results and would not concede defeat to George W. Bush. He instead tied up the election process through litigation in the courts for months.

Gore consistently lost his bid to overturn the election results in the lower courts and kept fighting in the Florida Supreme Court. He would not concede until mid-December of that year, a month and a half after Election Day.

In 2004, 31 Democrats voted in favor of rejecting electoral votes from Ohio, trying to delegitimize President Bush once again, despite the fact that he won the electoral count by a wider margin and the popular vote count over John Kerry.

In 2016, seven different Democrats objected 11 times to certifying the results of the 2016 presidential election victory for Donald Trump. Additionally, 67 Democrats boycotted Trump’s inauguration, with many claiming “his election was illegitimate.”

There was violence in the streets, and Democrat lawmakers were most assuredly trying to “obstruct, influence, impede or delay” the certification of the presidential election, just as Republicans are accused of doing on January 6.

Never forget. //

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and ten other senators objected to the certification of the 2020 election. It wasn't a unique tactic by any stretch. If anything, Democrats wrote the playbook on election denialism.

The sad fact is that many of the judges in the January 6 cases were complicit in turning the judicial process into part of the punishment, and they did so not out of a sense of justice but for the plaudits of their peer group and the ruling class in DC. There was literally no reason for any of the January 6 misdemeanor defendants to spend a single minute in jail, and yet they did. These prosecutions had much more in common with the Bloody Assizes and Soviet show trials than American jurisprudence. Their purpose was not to punish the guilty but to make examples of anyone challenging the government to deter others who might have that thought.

There is also a conflict between the "back the blue" impulses of most of MAGA country and some police officials. //

I'd ask Chief Manger what message he thinks it sends to the public when one of his officers was promoted and received federal funds to improve security at his home and cash from a memorial fund after he murdered Ashli Babbitt in cold blood.

If some disciplinary action had been meted out to this cretin and the Capitol Police who brutally beat Roseanne Boyland and the officials who lied about her cause of death (see EXCLUSIVE: Investigative Journalist Lara Logan Uncovers 'The Rest of the Story' on January 6 – RedState), I might care a lot more. If they just stopped lying about police officers being killed and hospitalized on January 6 or claiming that serving that day caused three police officers to commit suicide (why would that be?), I might be more charitable. Until then, I really don't care about the morale of Capitol Hill police. //

Until some adequate explanation is provided on why Capitol Police invited protesters into the Capitol —

• Video: Capitol police open doors for the protestors. They stand aside and invite them
• January 6 Footage reveals Capitol Police acted as tour guides for Jacob Chansley

— and the role of federal agents and "confidential human sources" in escalating the conflict; I really don't care what anyone did that day any more than the FBI and Department of Justice cared about American cities being burned during the mostly peaceful George Floyd memorial rioting and looting season. //

Everyone in jail or prison in connection with January 6 should be immediately released. If Trump wants a carve-out for "violent" actions during the demonstration, that's fine as long as the Department of Justice is not involved in making that determination. Even so, those people who did not kill anyone in cold blood should get the same forbearance as a police officer who did. //

It isn't enough to free those unjustly caught up in a political prosecution that was orders of magnitude greater than any crime committed. The people who set this in motion need to be brought to justice. //

On Jan. 20th 2017 a mass riot occurred in the Washington D.C., which included attempts to storm the White House, violence against the police lots of fires started. Yet, all criminal charges were dropped against the perpetrators of these acts.

On Jan. 6th 2021 a riot broke out at the Capitol building, after police pepper sprayed and fired rubber bullets at demonstrators. Everyone involved in this riot was searched out, rounded up and arrested. All were brought up on charges and were convicted (or plead out) of various crimes. No charges were dropped.

To the new Chief of the Capitol Police, I ask... what is so dissimilar between these two events and the people engaged that there should be unequal treatment? One could easily see where the outcomes for the rioters should be similar. Yet, one group gets a pass and the other group gets the hammer. This screams of violation of the rule of Equal Protection under the Law. //

Look, if Biden can retroactively pardon Hunter for sex trafficking, gun running, prostitution, embezzlement, bribery, corruption, money laundering and the rest of his crimes, I think Trump can pardon J6 trespassers without it being a problem. If Biden can commute the sentences of child rapists and serial killers, Trump can pardon people accused of fake crimes against a process that wasn't actually effected. If Biden can pardon cartel members who plea bargained their violent crimes, Trump can pardon people who've been in jail for four years without access to medical care or lawyers.

American Leftists have lied about President Trump and his supporters for so long that they are utterly bereft. How will they make it through the new year? Will they proceed through the steps of grief and finally accept that they were in error and outside the bounds of rationality or will they get stuck in anger—the second stage of grief?1

For some the stage of bargaining has begun already. They are insisting that we, Trump and the MAGA movement, we who insist on the precepts of the Constitution and rule of law, treat our Leftists better than they ever treated Trump or us.

Remember how they projected their anti-American rage on all conservatives? //

The anti-American Leftists want us to forget about their crimes and misdeeds, such as labeling the events of January 6, 2021, an insurrection, led by President Trump. Odd, isn’t it, that no one has been charged or convicted of insurrection in the Department of Justice’s largest manhunt in history.

Trump, whom the anti-American Left and its media gang continue to label an insurrectionist, was the one who had the National Guard standby to help keep the peace on January 6. But D.C. Mayor Bowser and Capitol Police and then-Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, specifically indicated that they did not want the National Guard at the Capitol or the Mall. Who called for peace? President Trump. Who was more concerned about the optics? The anti-American Leftists, of whom Pelosi is one. //

But for political equilibrium to be restored in America, those who have done wrong, who have violated the law (i.e., the Congressional J6 Committee that suborned perjury, doctored evidence, and suppressed exculpatory evidence), must be held accountable. That is the only way to restore the rule of law.

In order to have freedom, you must have the rule of law. The rule of law prevents bullies from overwhelming the weak. It preserves equal treatment before the law.

And, if the anti-American Left is grieving because of the electoral beating that they took in November, it might be possible that there is some residual desire for justice on the Right.

Accountability might just help the anti-American Left finally come to acceptance, the final stage of grief.

To recap, you have a video showing a suspect who is 5' 7", wearing a unique pair of shoes, and was in Washington, D.C. on January 5th, 2021, during a very specific timeframe of 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.... and they haven't been able to narrow down the list to find this person?

Odd that they're releasing this data while there are two ongoing terrorist investigations, one involving an ISIS-inspired killer who had been radicalized and posted multiple videos of his ill intentions on social media, discussing plans to kill his family and having dreams that helped inspire him to join the terror group, that the FBI somehow missed.

Almost like they're trying to divert your attention. //

As you might imagine, X users were not impressed with the FBI releasing a new video of the January 6th pipe bomb suspect after years of essentially ignoring the pursuit in favor of jailing people who walked through the Capitol and took selfies.

"Your entire agency is a joke," Sean Davis of The Federalist writes.

"Really strange how y'all were able to identify 1500 people who even so much as walked on the Capital grounds on January 6th, but you can't find the person who planted the pipe bomb?" one disgusted person replied. "No one's buying it." //

Why did the FBI drop this "previously unreleased video"? A clip of the suspect dropping the actual pipe bomb outside the DNC seems like it might have been handy evidence if they genuinely wanted the public to identify this person.

The bureau announced that they will continue to offer a reward of up to $500,000 for information that leads to the suspect's arrest and conviction.

Have they tried cross-referencing the information on those shoes with all confidential sources shorter than 5' 8"? They might get somewhere by doing that. Just a thought.

Despite its initial efforts, the FBI has yet to identify the suspect and has refused to provide the Subcommittees with additional information about these investigative leads.

Given the fervor with which the FBI has pursued individuals present at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, it's puzzling that their investigation into the placing of explosive devices nearby — which posed a threat to Secret Service protectees and others — has virtually stalled out. It's even more puzzling that the agency provided incorrect (false?) information regarding the data obtained from cellphone carriers. //

There is a remedy but it requires cojones- which continues to be in extremely short supply among elected Congressional Republicans. That that remedy includes impeachment and removal from the bench followed by criminal prosecution for deprivation of rights under color of authority.
You will never get conviction in DC but lets let this Judge experience personally what it routinely dished out to others.

According to sources, surveillance video proved that Byrd had committed the alleged breach of protocol. Instead of admitting to it, he ended up lying to investigators, leading to a recommendation that he be fired. USCP administrators never took action, though.

The USCP disciplinary officer recommended that Byrd be fired.

“So they charge him with eating, drinking on post, abandoning post,” the source said. “They charge him with untruthful statements with the recommendation to terminate.”

Even with the evidence and firing recommendation, Capitol Police administration did not part ways with Byrd.

If that isn't a perfect illustration of the federal government, I'm not sure what is. Byrd had multiple disciplinary investigations take place against him, with at least one involving a recommendation of termination, and he was still on the job in 2021 to shoot Ashli Babbitt. That leads me to the most disgusting part of these revelations. While other officers were paid $3,000 in retention bonuses following January 6th, Byrd was given $36,000. He was also reimbursed for another $21,000 in "security upgrades" for his home in Maryland and housed at Joint Base Andrews at a cost of $35,000 from July 2021 until January 2022. //

This story gets even worse, though. According to emails exchanged with DiBiase, despite being paid tens of thousands of dollars that other officers didn't get after January 6th, Byrd was still desperate for more. He went so far as to demand money from a Memorial Fund set up for the widows of slain officers. //

Ultimately, he was promoted to Captain in 2023 despite his record and the questionable nature of his decision to shoot Babbitt. Byrd is clearly a very disturbed individual who should have been fired long before he raised his service pistol on January 6th. His troubled history is a testament to the sheer corruption of the United States federal government, and he serves as a microcosm of just how bad things are in the bureaucratic state. //

There were no ‘slain officers’ on January 6 and very few injured. This all stinks to high heaven. Byrd is being paid off to keep his mouth shut. About what?

None were "authorized or directed," which doesn't necessarily mean that they did or did not encourage others. Also, it's interesting that only three were assigned, while the others evidently showed up on their own. Mr. Horowitz, in the linked article, does not offer any speculation as to why the remaining 21 "confidential human sources" were in attendance. One of the three, however, did actually enter the Capitol despite not being ordered or authorized to do so.

Don’t expect answers from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Jan. 6 Committee weaponized to operate as a political witch hunt. //

It is incredibly shameless for Biden to claim he "kept his word" when he lied to the American people for over a year, insisting he would not issue a pardon or commutation for Hunter Biden. Further, the pardon is incredibly broad, essentially offering blanket protection for any crimes his son has committed. //

For my entire career I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth. They’ll be fair-minded. Here’s the truth: I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice – and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further. //
