Arrests of the Traitors coming in now

From the Rawstory article:
"Before joining the 2016 Trump campaign, Klein worked as a researcher for the conservative Family Research Council and served as a Republican state convention delegate in Virginia, according to his LinkedIn page."
Perhaps inmate Klein could be visited by James Dobson or Gary Bauer from the FRC to pray the cockroaches away. Its worth a try.
It's hard to put a finger on which Trump aide would have been in contact with the Proud Boys. All of them except Jared Kushner are the type. Jared would have used a cut out.
Good thing Trump hardly knew any of these people.
Interesting write up about far right provocateur Ali Alexander. His name keeps popping up in the organizing of the insurrection, as well as his connections to Rep. Biggs and Gosar, plus Trump allies Roger Stone and Caroline Wren.
Alexander has gone into hiding, and has lost most of his access to social media, he does continue to bilk the Trump suckers for money, however.
The shock troops and people who boasted on social media have been arrested. Now it's time to reel in the organizers.

Merrick Garland will be in charge at DOJ soon. Biden has repeatedly said that he chose to run for president after witnessing the events in Charlottesville. I have to believe that he chose Garland as AG with the same concerns in mind. Garland essentially promised to make domestic terrorism his top priority when he testified before the Senate at his confirmation hearing. I trust him to get to the bottom of it.
I am amazed at how young some of those people are. Kind of scary that they will be around for another generation or two.
Why do you think the Republicans have been so obstructionist in confirming Garland, and the top assistant posts? Do you really think Josh Hawley wants someone digging into 1/6?
Poor little baby. Thoughts and prayers

Pleading parents of youngest Capitol rioter might not be helping his cause
Accused insurrectionist Bruno Joseph Cua and his parents are playing the "I just want to go home to Mom and Dad" card in seeking his release from jail while he awaits trial in connection with the January 6 Capitol riot. That might not be the greatest strategy. Turns out the judicial system...

It would be a shame if Roger Stone died in prison.

‘QAnon Shaman’ stays in jail as judge slams his arguments: ‘So frivolous as to insult the Court’s intelligence’

Jacob Anthony Chansley, often referred to as the “QAnon Shaman” who donned horns and red-white-and-blue face paint to storm the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, has spent nearly two months pleading with a judge — and with the public in high-profile interviews — to let him go free.
He said on “60 Minutes+” last week that the Capitol riots were “not an attack on this country,” while his attorney has argued that he was actually a peaceful protester and wasn’t really armed when he was filmed storming the building with a spear.
U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth was not impressed.
On Monday, Lamberth denied Chansley’s motion for release in a scathing memorandum that rejected his arguments as “meritless,” “mistaken” and “so frivolous as to insult the Court’s intelligence.” The judge said that Chansley was too dangerous to release and continues to pose a threat to the public.
“The statements defendant has made to the public from jail show that defendant does not fully appreciate the severity of the allegations against him,” Lamberth wrote. “To the contrary, he believes that he — not the American people or members of Congress — was the victim on January 6th.”
Chansley is charged with violently entering the Capitol, among other felony charges, and prosecutors have urged the court to keep him in jail. Chansley’s attorney, Albert Watkins, did not immediately return a request for comment late Monday.
The 33-year-old Phoenix resident quickly became one of the most recognizable people charged in the Capitol riot, in part because of the eccentric costume he wore while sitting in Vice President Mike Pence’s chair. His connection to QAnon, an extremist ideology that spreads a sprawling set of false claims, has also highlighted the movement’s role in the Jan. 6 riot.
He made headlines soon after his arrest when he asked to be fed only organic foods, citing his obscure religious beliefs, and begged to be released after Watkins said he lost 20 pounds in jail. Watkins also made a public plea for a pardon from President Donald Trump, which was ignored. Chansley has filed multiple motions for release before his trial, but none have succeeded.
Last week, he made another public appeal on “60 Minutes+,” without permission from the jail, the U.S. Marshals Service or the court — a move that led Lamberth to scold him and his attorney in a hearing on Friday.
On Monday, Lamberth, a fiery presence in D.C. courts appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1987, eviscerated the alleged rioter’s claims one by one.
Chansley has repeatedly argued that he acted peacefully on Jan. 6 when he helped lead a pro-Trump mob into Congress in an insurrection that left one police officer and four others dead.
But the judge pointed to videos, photos, social media posts and police interviews that he said clearly contradict those claims. “Defendant’s perception of his actions on January 6th as peaceful, benign and well-intentioned shows a detachment from reality,” Lamberth wrote.
Video shows Chansley leading the breach of the U.S. Capitol while holding a six-foot pole topped with a spear tip, authorities said. Prosecutors added that Chansley forced his way into the Senate chamber, where he sat in Pence’s chair and left a note declaring “ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME JUSTICE IS COMING!”
In social media posts before the riot, Chansley also advocated for “identifying and then hanging those he believes to be traitors within the United States government,” according to court documents. FBI agents say that in interviews with them Chansley said he had plans to go to the Arizona Capitol and that he might engage in similar acts in the future.
In his motion for release, Chansley claimed that the spear he carried was actually a “flagpole” with a “finial spear” on its tip. He argued that the object should not be considered a weapon, because similar flagpoles hang within the halls of multiple federal buildings across the country.
The judge did not buy that reasoning.
“By defendant’s logic, knives would not be considered dangerous weapons due to their availability in government building cafeterias,” Lamberth wrote. “The Court declines to adopt defendant’s ‘readily-available-in-government-buildings’ standard for determining whether an object is a ‘dangerous weapon’.”
The judge also said that Chansley “blatantly lied” when he claimed that a police officer waved him into the building, a claim that was contradicted by security footage and other videos filed by prosecutors. He said Chansley’s suggestion that he entered the building in a calm “third wave” of rioters, only after the Capitol had been violently breached by others, was false.
“To the contrary, he quite literally spearheaded [the breach],” Lamberth wrote.
Finally, Lamberth rejected Watkins’s argument that he could not meet confidentially with his client because of coronavirus restrictions in the jail where Chansley is detained.
Lamberth called that assertion “remarkable,” pointing to the lengthy “60 Minutes+” interview that both Chansley and Watkins participated in last week.
“The issue is that when defense counsel is able to speak with his client, he squanders the opportunity for private conversations, preferring instead to conduct a public interview,” Lamberth wrote. “Such media appearances are undoubtedly conducive to defense counsel’s fame. But they are not at all conducive to an argument that the only way defense counsel could privately communicate with his client is if defendant were temporarily released.”
U.S. judge scolds ‘QAnon Shaman’ for appearing on ‘60 Minutes+’ without permission
In fact, Chansley was able to privately contact Watkins over videoconference in a room with a closed door to participate in the “60 Minutes+” interview, the judge said.
“Given defense counsel’s decision to use what could have been a confidential videoconference on a media publicity stunt, that argument is so frivolous as to insult the Court’s intelligence,” Lamberth added.
After rebutting each of Chansley’s arguments, Lamberth denied his release on Monday.
The judge said Chansley showed a willingness to engage in violence and openly flout the law. There’s no reason to believe he wouldn’t do the same if he was released before the trial, which hasn’t yet been scheduled, Lamberth said.
“Defendant characterizes himself as a peaceful person who was welcomed into the Capitol building on January 6th by police officers,” the judge wrote. “The Court finds none of his many attempts to manipulate the evidence and minimize the seriousness of his actions persuasive.”

This is how a judge says “shut the f—k up, dumbass” to a lawyer in a polite fashion 😂:
“The issue is that when defense counsel is able to speak with his client, he squanders the opportunity for private conversations, preferring instead to conduct a public interview,” Lamberth wrote. “Such media appearances are undoubtedly conducive to defense counsel’s fame. But they are not at all conducive to an argument that the only way defense counsel could privately communicate with his client is if defendant were temporarily released.”

God this guy is a bigger idiot than I thought... Well most of these assholes are.
“The statements defendant has made to the public from jail show that defendant does not fully appreciate the severity of the allegations against him,” Lamberth wrote. “To the contrary, he believes that he — not the American people or members of Congress — was the victim on January 6th.”
It sounds like the Shaman hired Trump's legal team! So much winning!Your article is too good not to share. Everyone should read this gem:

.....I'd say they're probably Finnished...... 😉
He barely knew them, and, as he has repeatedly said, he had no idea anything bad was going to happen, and he left town before the insurrection started. Weird that he split town and missed the big rally, huh?
I keep wondering if one of these guys is going to flip on Stone as he keeps saying they acted alone.
Of course he does. President Trump told him it was okay to storm the Capitol.
This is hilarious. Can you imagine what the people back home in Montana will be saying to him for the rest of his life?
"Hey there Boyd, so you thought the Insurrection Act promoted insurrection, huh? well goddamit Boyd you are one dumb sonafabitch.... you fall down and hit your head real hard Boyd? cuz you got the IQ of corn worm and the good sense of a shit eatin dog ........ but I reckon you're OK with that and I'll be damned if you ain't to proud to show it off too, I do respect that Boyd ole buddy..."
