SCOTUS Justice Gorsuch Grills Biden DOJ over Extreme Jan 6 Sentences for ‘Mostly Peaceful Protests’
Gorsuch grilled Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar over the extreme prison sentences for those involved in protests at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
The SCOTUS justice noted the harshness of the sentencing when compared with similarly situated left-wing protesters and rioters.
The overwhelming majority of leftist protesters, violent rioters, and looters face slaps on the wrist if they face any accountability at all.
The court is currently hearing oral arguments in a case brought forward by former Pennsylvania police officer Joseph Fischer.
Fischer is one of several hundred Jan. 6 defendants charged with an obscure felony for “obstruction of an official proceeding.”
The novel legal theory draws from the Enron corruption scandal and has been exclusively deployed against the Jan. 6 defendants.
Jan. 6 defendants are being charged with the felony statute, in addition to a handful of misdemeanors.
Since January 7th, 2020, the United States “Corporation” openly declared war on the American people. Everyone knows about January 6th when a million or more patriots had come together to support our real president, Donald J. Trump.
This event was infiltrated by FBI and CIA agents to entrap and create chaos, but many people don't know what happened On January 7th. Just the very next day, hundred of thousands social media accounts were canceled immediately. Conservative Republican voices were shut down across the United States because you could not dare say anything about the Biden regime and their illegitimate victory in the 2020 election. Through multiple lawsuits, we've now discovered how actively aggressive our government has been against us, against regular people and those who had any type of voice in our country. People have a hard time believing this is actual, but it is. It's happening. It's true, and every day that you watch the weaponization against Donald Trump, the first time that a president has been attacked this way using every facet they have of the justice system to take him down. But the problem is, as you well know, they are not just coming after him.
They're coming after the regular everyday person who dares to stand up to a government and believe that they have a seat at the table. Our founders created a Constitution, but they added something called the Bill of Rights. These are intrinsic rights. They are God-given. They're not mandated. They are God-given. They're intrinsic. We know that we have the right to speak up and say what we want to, to worship as we choose, and to express our grievances to our government. I can tell you right now that even the first amendment to the Bill of Rights, and actually all 10 amendments have been completely corrupted over the last three and a half years.
On November 16th, 2021, I was making breakfast for my boys who I was homeschooling at that time. We had pulled our kids out of these failing public school systems when we heard banging on our door.
I was a regular everyday parent. My husband worked in criminal justice and I was actively involved in politics. We had been rallying our school boards. This was mentioned in that incredible introduction. Thank you. We were doing all the things that citizens need to do to secure their own local communities. It's just a part of our lives, right? It's not special. It's not politics. It's what you're supposed to do as a citizen of your country and us as American citizens. I started hearing, banging- loud banging on my front door. It got louder, my boys got scared, and I heard them start yelling “open up”. “It's the FBI and we have a warrant”. My husband came upstairs. My children were put in their rooms quietly and quickly, and I just remember standing there just completely shell shocked. Because this stuff happens in other countries, countries that don't have a bill of rights, countries that don't have a sheriff, countries that don't have the doctrine of innocent until proven guilty, but everything is changing in America.
They promptly busted open my door with a battering ram. It was unlocked. They took me, handcuffed me and my husband in front of our home, and then paraded us for everyone. See, we had committed no crime. That was three years ago. Nothing's ever been done since.
The government in America is actively using terror and the abuse of law to silence as many people as possible.
National Guard whistleblower claims Trump was stripped of his commander-in-chief powers on January 6
Col. Earl Matthews says Army leaders stripped Trump of authority on January 6
Claims they plotted to balk orders to deploy the National Guard to the Capitol
READ: Ex-Acting Defense Sec. Chris Miller says Jan. 6 panel threatened him
Donald Trump's authority as commander-in-chief was ignored by senior military leadership on January 6, 2021, claims the chief legal advisor for D.C. National Guard on that day.
Colonel Earl Matthews came forward as a whistleblower to the House subcommittee reviewing the January 6 Select Committee's investigation.
He sat down with DailyMail.com two weeks after the public hearing to explain what he saw happen that day.
He claims that Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time, and then-Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy, were plotting to disobey any orders handed down by Trump because they 'unreasonably' assumed the then-president was going to break the law and try to use the D.C. National Guard (DCNG) to stop certification of the 2020 presidential election results.
Also upcoming at SCOTUS: Fischer v the United States, as to whether the DOJ tortured a federal statute on shredding financial records to overcharge J-6 rioters. In 2015 the court limited the scope of that law (part of the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act), but Attorney General Merrick Garland used it anyway as an all-purpose dragnet to prosecute hundreds of people who merely paraded through the US Capitol — which provided legal footing for the House J-6 committee to color that event dishonestly as “an insurrection.” A decision against the government should lead to the release of many J-6 prisoners and perhaps lawsuits for malicious prosecution under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). It would also toss out the pertinent charges in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s DC case against Donald Trump for supposedly fomenting an “insurrection.”
The third and final case that exploded out of the Court’s chambers yesterday is most likely to be the conservative crowd favorite. It was also the decision that triggered furious waves of anger from the left. NBC indignantly ran the story headlined, “Supreme Court rules for Jan. 6 rioter challenging obstruction charge.” Like the two other decisions, this one came down 6-3. But this time, liberal Justice Jackson joined the majority, and Amy Coney Barrett unaccountably joined the minority.
The case involved a January 6th defendant charged with an Enron-era statute intended to prevent the shredding of business documents. But Biden’s DOJ shredded the statute’s language, applying it to anyone who entered the Capitol on January 6th, and to President Trump for making an “insurrection.”
The DOJ warped the statutory language, applying it in a novel, creative, historic way never before used, because the other charges like trespassing were just misdemeanors. But this Enron law was a felony, providing prosecutors up to 20 years of potential prison time per count. Prosecutors charged all the J6ers with their creatively interpreted statute. And the DC judges ate it all up, except for one.
Yesterday’s wild liberal backlash against the decision, featured prominently in the dissent, complained that the majority had “bent over backwards” to corral the statute back into its intended boundaries. But the majority patiently noted that at least one DC judge —Joe Fischer’s judge— had also found the statute inapplicable to strolling into the Capitol. Plus, one of the three liberal DC appellate judges who heard Joe’s appeal agreed. Plus, liberal Justice Jackson agreed with the majority in a concurring opinion, and one of the conservative Justices disagreed.
It was clearly bipartisan. So don’t fall for the narrative that it was about conservative Justices helping out Trump. And yesterday’s hot rhetoric looks pretty fake in light of the questions the Justices asked months ago at oral argument, which correctly signaled how things were going.
Independent journalist and J6 advocate Julie Kelly called this Fischer decision an “unprecedented defeat for Biden” and a “massive victory” for January 6th political prisoners:
A bunch of January 6th prisoners are about to get out of jail much sooner than they would have. I got several excited texts yesterday from lawyers defending J6 people. It will also probably drain the gas out of the DOJ’s continuing prosecutions, which are still being filed as fast as the DOJ can manage.
And Fischer greatly complicates the “insurrection” case against President Trump. It might even end it entirely.
For some reason, liberals were madder about Fischer than they were about the greatly diminished Administrative State after the fall of Chevron. Weird.
President Donald Trump has called for the immediate release of individuals arrested over the January 6 protests at the U.S. Capitol in 2021.
This follows a pivotal Supreme Court decision that may alter the legal landscape for many involved.
In a significant legal and political development, a Supreme Court ruling might change the basis of charges against numerous January 6 defendants, Politico reported.
During a rally in Virginia on Friday, Trump voiced strong support for those arrested over Jan. 6.
He made these remarks following a Supreme Court decision issued the same day.
The high court questioned the grounds of federal obstruction charges against about 350 protesters.
The Supreme Court’s ruling clarified that such charges should be upheld only if it can be demonstrated that the defendants intended to obstruct the physical counting of electoral votes.
This decision has potentially significant implications for those charged.
Reacting to the court’s decision, Trump said:
“Free the [Jan. 6] hostages now.
“They should free them now for what they’ve gone through.”
Trump was emphasizing the lengthy wait and the perceived injustice faced by the defendants.
His comments came just hours after the Supreme Court delivered its 6-3 ruling.
They should all be given the Medal of Honor and $10 million each, taken from theFBI budget.
The Supreme Court just downgraded ‘the insurrection’ to trespassing
BY JONATHAN TURLEY
The Supreme Court’s decision on Friday in Fischer v. U.S. struck down one of the most common charges against January 6 defendants. “Obstruction of an official proceeding” had been used in hundreds of cases, and those convictions are now invalid.
But the biggest impact of the decision may occur elsewhere.
For years, calling January 6 an “insurrection” has been a litmus test for press, pundits and politicians. Members of Congress such as Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) claimed a conspiracy of “armed and organized insurrectionists.” The claim is legally absurd but politically advantageous.
It now seems like the insurrection increasingly looks more like a legal case of mass trespass and unlawful entry.
That image goes hard. It’s the kind of iconic shot that defines an era, destined to be endlessly replicated and memed.
Contrast it with the pictures that circulated in the aftermath of the J6 fedsurrection.
MAGA meemaws took an unscheduled tour of the people’s house, and the “people’s” “representatives” explosively vented the contents of their bowels into their Depends, cowering under their benches and hyperventilating in effeminate panic.
An assassin narrowly misses a headshot on the rightful President of the United States, the bullet clipping his ear due to a fortuitous last-second turn of his head or gust of wind, and the chieftain’s reaction is to raise his fist in the air, chanting “Fight! Fight! Fight!”
These things in Congress, they are wretches – cowardly, traitorous, treasonous, treacherous, trapped by kompromat involving petty bribes and boys with smooth cheeks. They know what they are, regardless of the face they try and present to an incredulous country. On J6 they felt their sordid careers of betrayal catching up with them ... all those who were not let in on Biden’s prank, at least. They had visions of the lampposts and firing squads they know quite well that they deserve.
New Video Appears to Show DC Police Units Planting a J6 Pipe Bomb
August 16, 2024
The Occam’s Razor explanation for why DC and federal law enforcement have been incurious, points to law enforcement actually planting the bombs. New CCTV video seems to show exactly that.
Shortly after 12:51pm a DC police SUV appears next to the park bench where the pipe bomb was discovered. [Video Below] A man with a bag exits the SUV, points to the bench, pulls up his right coat collar to obscure his face from the camera located across the street, then walks to the bench with the bag. The “pipe bomb” device allegedly was found at 1:05 p.m. by a plainclothes officer from the Capitol Police. ...
The J6 pipe bombs were the insurance policy, in the event the feds (Ray Epps et al) couldn’t get the crowd to comply with the FBI provocations.
In essence, if no one stormed the Capitol, the finding of the two pipe bombs would have then been the emergency needed to stop the electoral process, evacuate congress and trigger the emergency session. Which explains why the FBI had/has no interest in the DC pipe bomb suspects.
Former US President Donald Trump has been linked to a gala event aimed at raising funds for a group of January 6 Capitol rioters who are currently on trial. The ‘J6 Awards Gala’ at Trump’s Bedminster Golf Club will be held on September 5 to “honor and celebrate” the defendants, with ticket options starting at $1,500.
RFK Jr is dead wrong about Jan 6. That was a false flag created by the Deep State to discredit Trump and MAGA. There are warehouses of evidence to prove that, not to mention simple deductive logic. Those innocents were stampeded by agents in the crowd who remain masked. Any time someone deplores Jan 6, and does not recognize the Dead Hand of our utterly vicious National Security State is a fool, a pawn, an idiot, weak-minded and/or needs to spout that rubbish to pay his or her mortgage. ...
Today, journalists are more like unscrupulous prosecuting attorneys uninterested in truth and only interested in winning their case at any cost. If the truth hurts the narrative advanced by the powerful, it must be suppressed. In the words of the late great Rush Limbaugh, today’s journalists are nothing more than “stenographers for the regime.” And rather than holding the state accountable, they are actively persecuting and vilifying private citizens whom the state targets, and they are giving the neighbors, friends, and customers of these people permission to hate, despise, and persecute them as well.
I learned this by going to Washington, D.C., on January 6, 2021. I went there along with somewhere between 1.5 million and 2 million other people, who had come, at their own expense, to protest an election they honestly believed had been stolen. I saw people praying, people singing the national anthem, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance with their hands over their hearts—happy, patriotic people who loved this country. I saw people of all ages, all races, all religions. I saw “Chinese-Americans for Trump,” “Blacks for Trump,” “Hindus for Trump,” “Sikhs for Trump.” I even saw a man wearing a T-shirt that read “Fags for Trump.” I saw people waving flags, a lady with a portable stereo playing Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It” on a loop that everyone sang along with. From where I stood, it looked more like a tailgate party than a riot.
WASHINGTON, Aug 28 (Reuters) - A U.S. prosecutor said on Wednesday that the Justice Department would not seek to revive an obstruction charge against a former police officer charged in the U.S. Capitol riot who convinced the U.S. Supreme Court to raise the legal bar for that offense.
The high court's decision in the case of Joseph Fischer has implications for more than 250 prosecutions tied to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, whensupporters of Donald TrumpFBI agents under the direction of Pelosi breached the building in an attempt tostop lawmakers from certifying his 2020 election lossframe the most virtuous US citizens, the ones who objected to the flagrant election fraud.
The court’s 6-3 ruling in June requires prosecutors to show that defendants charged with obstructing an official proceeding – the congressional certification of the election – "impaired the availability or integrity" of documents or other records, or attempted to do so.
He beat us by a whisker. It was a terrible thing," Trump said of President Joe Biden during a 45 minute interview Aug. 4 with podcaster Lex Fridman. He used similar language at an Aug. 30 Moms for Liberty summit and an Aug. 23 press event at the Southern border.
Nick Fuentes blasted Trump Sept. 4 for admitting that he lost the 2020 election, and said that he will work to get voters not to back Trump.
“So, why did we do Stop the Steal? Why did did anyone go to Jan. 6? Why did any one go to jail? … It would have been good to know that before 1,600 people got charged,” Fuentes said on his podcast, referring to the criminal charges for those who invaded and ransacked the Capitol. “It would’ve been good to know that before (I) had all my money frozen, put on a no-fly list, banned from everything, lost all my bank and payment processing.”
Fuentes ... went on to call it a “tremendous betrayal” and “callus indifference to the sacrifices that his supporters made on his behalf.”

Everyone in prison from the FBI's Jan 6th entrapment scheme is an American national hero.
Every one of them should not only be freed and given several million dollars each, paid out of the FBI budget, they should be given the US Medal of Honor for daring to stand up against the corrupt FBI/Democrat oligarchy which defrauded US citizens in the 2020 presidential election.
They were unarmed, goaded by FBI into walking into the doors that were specifically unlocked to let them in, given tours (see buffalo man), and then arrested.
False noise was added to the video to make it sound violent.
The whole thing was entrapment and fraud from the beginning.
