I really wonder what his parents are like. 

 

I can imagine them as this peaceful old white couple. Super cute. Making tea and welcoming their only son and his strange wife home on Sundays for dinner. And them actually being demons called forth by some freaky ritual he preformed and his real parents being tied up in the basement praying for the release of sweet death. That way he cant hurt them anymore. 

 

And he still makes mom pay for his tmobile phone cause shes HIS ****ing mom and he can do what he wants with her.

Garland says the Jan. 6 investigation won't end until everyone is held accountable

 

On his first anniversary as attorney general, Merrick Garland said he's committed to unraveling the conspiracy behind the storming of the U.S. Capitol, in what he calls "the most urgent investigation in the history of the Justice Department."

 

Members of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot have asserted that former President Donald Trump could be charged with conspiracy and obstruction for his actions. But Democrats in Congress and even some of Garland's friends have worried he'll shy away from the political firestorm that would result from charging a former commander in chief with a crime.

 

"We are not avoiding cases that are political or cases that are controversial or sensitive," the attorney general said in an exclusive interview with NPR. "What we are avoiding is making decisions on a political basis, on a partisan basis."

 

"We begin with the cases that are right in front of us with the overt actions and then we build from there," Garland said. "And that is a process that we will continue to build until we hold everyone accountable who committed criminal acts with respect to Jan. 6."

Judge dismisses Democratic lawmaker's January 6 civil conspiracy lawsuit against Mo Brooks

 

A federal judge dismissed on Wednesday a January 6 lawsuit brought against Rep. Mo Brooks that had alleged the Alabama Republican engaged in a civil conspiracy.

 

US District Judge Amit Mehta's move to dismiss the claims against Brooks was anticipated. Mehta wrote in a previous opinion in the case, which was brought by California Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell, that he was inclined to dismiss the claims against Brooks and the judge invited Brooks to formally request the dismissal.

Mehta on Wednesday also denied as moot a request from Brooks that the judge certify that the House member was acting in his official capacity in his January 6 rally remarks, which were a focus of Swalwell's lawsuit. The Justice Department had previously refused to certify the alleged conduct as within the scope of his official role in a July filing, in which the department said it opposed stepping in as a defendant for Brooks in the case. By dismissing the case against Brooks altogether, the judge avoided resolving that dispute.

Michael Flynn pleads the Fifth in deposition with January 6 committee

 

Michael Flynn, former President Donald Trump's onetime national security adviser, invoked his Fifth Amendment right during a deposition before the January 6 committee on Thursday, declining to answer the panel's questions.

 

Flynn -- who met with the committee virtually -- invoked the Fifth "on advice of counsel," his attorney, David Warrington, said in a statement that accused the panel of insinuating "General Flynn's decision to decline to answer their questions constituted an admission of guilt."

"Most of the questions lacked any relation to the legislative purpose contained in House Resolution 503, and many were clearly sourced from fringe news and conspiracy websites and rumors. No American should have to endure such harassment by the legislative branch of our government," Warrington claimed.

The committee, which is investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, is interested in Flynn because he reportedly attended a December 2020 Oval Office meeting "during which participants discussed seizing voting machines, declaring a national emergency, invoking certain national security emergency powers, and continuing to spread the false message that the November 2020 election had been tainted by widespread fraud."

So 1) he's admitting to knowing in advance that there was going to be a riot (he was in on the plan), and 2) admitting to the crime of bringing weapons into the Capitol building?  DOJ, are you listening?

DOJ must bar insurrectionists who swore to protect the Constitution from public office

 

The Department of Justice must take action in prosecutions of individuals for crimes relating to the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol to bar those who took an oath to uphold the Constitution from holding public office, according to a letter sent today by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, known as the Disqualification Clause, bars anyone who has previously taken an oath as a state or federal official to support the Constitution and then engaged in insurrection or given aid or comfort to insurrectionists from holding state or federal office. 

 

Enforcing the Disqualification Clause in plea negotiations and at sentencing is a crucial opportunity to hold government officials who participated in the insurrection accountable for their actions. Section 3 of the 14th Amendment applies to both elected and unelected federal and state officials who took an oath to support the Constitution. 

 

“Section 3 of the 14th Amendment can and should be used to bar anyone who engaged in the insurrection after swearing to support the Constitution from seeking or holding office,” said CREW President Noah Bookbinder. “This provision will not enforce itself. The Department of Justice must take concrete steps to prevent those who attacked our Constitution after swearing an oath to uphold it from being in a position to violate public trust again.”

Re: Trump Arizona Governor Candidate

I know this is par for the course, but how can you be in politics and so thick skinned?  As an American her vehemance and ferocious, emotional attacks on Austrailia as if somehow law abiding citizens with guns were going to free people in quarantines inspired me to research.  Oh my, gun violence is down since they passed the National Firearms Act. 

 

The other thing she said is that many people have been held without charges. This is also so stupid and also fact checks as false. 

 

Stuff like this needs a disclaimer.

She is just a vapid ex-newscaster who saw the opportunity to suckle at the fat, orange teat, and run a grift. I hope that enough people in AZ have enough sense to dump this air head, because she is woefully ill qualified, and would likely set AZ back decades.

 

But, this is what American politics has become: people getting into it to make large amounts of money, without ever doing, or producing, anything. The days of the true civil servant are long gone, and the orange idiot has fostered a whole new batch of these deadbeat wannabes.

Problem is, there's a large segment for whom "not qualified" and "will set the state back decades" are precisely what they want.

William Robert Norwood III of Greer, SC didn't believe the judge, now he knows better

 

William Robert Norwood III apparently didn’t believe that judge Kevin McDonald would order him back to jail for not following the judge’s order to not have contact with his estranged wife. Now he knows better. Judge McDonald ordered Norwood to be held without bond pending trial after Norwood continually contacted his estranged wife in an attempt to convince her not to testify against him and his part in the insurrection. 

 

McDonald stated that some of those contacts by Norwood presented a clear danger to his estranged wife.

 

Norwood didn’t deny contacting his wife and knows it was a violation of his bond conditions, his appointed attorney, Lora Blanchard, said in the hearing.

 

Why do all these insurrectionists always make excuses for their criminal behavior? Are they that afraid of going to prison for their crime? Or is it that because they’re white they believe they shouldn't be held accountable for their actions? 

 

Norwood faces seven federal charges. He was arrested by FBI agents after a family member shared screenshots of messages in which he bragged about assaulting police officers and storming the Capitol. Agents found a Capitol Police riot shield and helmet in Norwood’s storage unit, which he said he picked up from a pile outside the Capitol.

 

The government also said Norwood led a group into the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and filmed rioters storming the Capitol from her office balcony.
