Viera High School teacher arrested on Capitol riot charges, records show

 

A Viera High School teacher was arrested Tuesday on federal charges in connection with the Capitol riots on Jan. 6, court records show.

 

Kenneth John Reda, 54, was arrested by FBI agents Tuesday morning on charges of illegally entering Capitol grounds and disorderly conduct.

 

Brevard County Schools officials confirmed Reda is a physical education teacher at Viera High School. The school district said it will conduct an internal investigation into Reda’s alleged role in the events on Jan. 6. Reda is on leave while the investigation is underway.

 

Communications officer Russ Bruhn said Reda has also coached football and track and field at Viera High. As of Wednesday, he is no longer an assistant football coach but still remains a teacher.

 

’'We just have to wait and see what our investigators find, have them go to the school board and kind of go from there,” Bruhn said about the internal investigation in its early phases.

 

According to the criminal complaint from the FBI, investigators received a tip on Jan. 18 with a screenshot of messages on Parler, the far-right social networking site. The tipster claimed one of the commenters, under the screen name “mrjoebidenhead,” was Reda admitting to being inside the Capitol on Jan. 6. Records obtained from Parler, LLC later confirmed that the account belongs to Reda, according to the criminal complaint.

Democrats look to avoid 'circus' as they push forward with new select committee

 

As they start the process of standing up a select committee to investigate security failings and circumstances surrounding the deadly January 6 attack on the US Capitol, House Democrats aim to use a strategy that avoids turning the investigation into a spectacle.

 

They hope to keep some of their work behind closed doors, outside the glare of the fiery public hearings that defined the Republican select committee on Benghazi during the Obama administration.


While the plans for the committee are still in early stages, sources tell CNN that Democrats intend to make an effort not to turn it into a second round of impeachment, but instead use it to explore a range of issues that don't all center on Donald Trump, even if the former President's role, they argue, cannot be ignored.


The strategy underscores the political reality of a committee that likely won't be staffed and completely ready to begin its work for weeks, as some staff will need to obtain security clearances in order to conduct their work. By then, Republicans and Democrats will be into the fall, when election messaging and the battle for control of the House of Representatives will be in full swing.


For many Democrats, who already have a narrow margin in the House, the challenge of not overreaching will be important, as Republicans will seek to paint the party as obsessed with investigating an already ousted President.

LOL "might have known" well how exactly were they planning to "Stop the Steal?" by waving signs and clapping for speeches?  The reason Biden is President now is because those traitors failed their objective.  Had they got in there and destroyed ballots or done anything to tamper.  There is no way the current GOP wouldn't publicly go through the motions of being outraged but behind the scenes plot ways to take advantage of the situation and try to keep Trump as President.

No doubt an Antifa sleeper agent, who got dressed up like a Trumper, to attack the police.

Toyota leads companies in election-objector donations

 

Nearly three-dozen corporate PACs have donated at least $5,000 to Republicans who objected to certifying the 2020 election, yet Toyota leads by a substantial margin.

 

Why it matters: Following Jan. 6, huge segments of corporate America rethought their political-giving programs. The new numbers suggest some large companies have decided to maintain support — even for members of Congress deeply enmeshed in the pro-Trump conspiracy theories that fueled the Capitol attack.

 

Some prominent GOP objectors also have found they can replace any lost corporate support with small-dollar, grassroots donations driven by their reputations as pro-Trump hardliners.


By the numbers: Data compiled by the left-leaning watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington show Toyota gave $55,000 to 37 GOP objectors this year.

 

That equates to a quarter of the bloc that voted to nullify President Biden's win after the Capitol siege.


Toyota gave more than twice as much — and to nearly five times as many members of Congress — as the No. 2 company on the list, Cubic Corp., a San Diego-based defense contractor.

 

 "We do not believe it is appropriate to judge members of Congress solely based on their votes on the electoral certification," a Toyota spokesperson said in a statement emailed to Axios.

Jan. 6 riot caused $1.5 million in damage to Capitol — and U.S. prosecutors want defendants to pay

 

U.S. prosecutors this week put a price tag on damage to the U.S. Capitol from the Jan. 6 breach — $1.5 million so far — and for the first time are asking defendants to cover some of the bill in plea offers, prosecutors and defense lawyers said.

 

The U.S. attorney’s office in Washington cited the damage estimate Wednesday in court and in plea papers filed in the case of Paul Hodgkins, 38. The Tampa crane operator pleaded guilty to one felony count of obstructing an official proceeding of Congress and faces sentencing July 19 in Washington.

 

“Your client acknowledges that the riot that occurred on January 6, 2021, caused as of May 17, 2021, approximately $1,495,326.55 damage to the United States Capitol,” stated a plea agreement letter sent by Assistant U.S. Attorney Mona Sedky and signed by Hodgkins and his attorney in May.

 

The document said Hodgkins agreed to pay $2,000 restitution to the Treasury Department as part of the plea.

 

Several defense attorneys said prosecutors with the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington are seeking to require restitution of $2,000 in each felony case and $500 in each misdemeanor case.

Capitol Rioter Who Pleaded Guilty Asks Court Not To ‘Cancel’ Him With Prison Time

 

Judge, don’t cancel me!

 

That was the essence of the 31-page sentencing memorandum from Capitol rioter Paul Hodgkins, 38, of Tampa, who pleaded guilty to obstructing an official proceeding last month and likely faces one or two years in prison.

 

“We now live in a county that seeks to cancel one another,” Hodgkins’ attorney Patrick N. Leduc wrote in the memo. “It is the end state and the result of becoming a post-Christian society.”

 

Hodgkins was one in a group of rioters who briefly occupied the Senate chamber during the attack, taking with him a “Trump 2020” flag and mean-mugging for a quick insurrection selfie.

 

But Leduc, making appeals to the court’s mercy and pursuing sweeping detours into American history, painted his client as nothing less than the ideal citizen.

 

“This case is the story of a man who represents all that we would want in our fellow Americans,” Leduc said near the beginning of the sentencing memo. “Law-abiding, hardworking, honest, caring, kind, thoughtful, generous, and the kind of person you would love to have for a neighbor. It is the story of man who for just one hour on one day, lost his bearings and his way.”

 

So it went: Hodgkins had a momentary lapse of judgement, Leduc argued, and the court’s treatment of him would send a message to the rest of the nation.

Yes it will send a message.  And that message should be "**** around and find out.  There are consequences for participating in a seditious riot."

Florida Republicans to host rally calling for Jan. 6 insurrectionists to be released

 

The Sunshine State now has more individuals charged in connection with the attack than anywhere else in the nation.


Arguably, the state of Florida led the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

 

The Sunshine State now has more individuals charged in connection with the attack than anywhere else in the nation. Florida also has the most charges connected to far-right extremist groups, like the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys.

 

But this weekend, a handful of Florida Republican candidates will host a rally in Tallahassee calling for Gov. Ron DeSantis and others to put pressure on authorities to free the “political prisoners” of Jan. 6.

 

The “Free Our Patriots Rally in Tally” will be Saturday and is hosted by Luis Miguel, a far-right Republican candidate looking to primary Sen. Marco Rubio. “Folks, The patriots who have been hunted down by the corrupt, communist FBI are suffering. Many of them are veterans who fought for this nation,” tweeted Miguel. “Let’s do our part to ensure they’re liberated. We can’t allow this in America. Be there at the Florida Capitol on July 10.

I vaguely remember that, long long ago, when I was applying for a student summer job with the NSA, one of the questions for the polygraph was "Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of an organization which supports the overthrow of the US government through unconstitutional means?"  

 

I'm seeing a whole lot of "yes" responses.

Pizzeria Owner Mounts Truly Bizarre Defense for Jan. 6 Riots

 

A Pennsylvania woman who allegedly stormed the Capitol and told a police officer to “bring Nancy Pelosi out here now… we want to hang that ****ing ****” has filed court documents claiming to be a divinely empowered entity immune from laws.

 

Pauline Bauer, a Pennsylvania pizzeria owner, is accused of multiple counts of violent entry, disruptive conduct, and obstruction of Congress after she allegedly broke into the Capitol on Jan. 6. Prosecutors allege that Bauer tried organizing buses to transport people to D.C. for a rally that preceded the riot, and that while in the Capitol rotunda she told police that she wanted to kill House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

 

But in what experts describe as an inadvisable legal strategy, Bauer has demanded to represent herself in court, appeared to threaten a court clerk with prison time, and declared herself a “self-governed individual” with special legal privileges.

 

Bauer does not simply appear in court, she clarified during a June 11 proceeding via Zoom. “I am here by special divine appearance, a living soul,” she told a judge that day, while stating that she did not want an attorney.

 

“I do not stand under the law,” she said. “Under Genesis 1, God gave man dominion over the law.”
