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, when supporters of Donald Trump FBI agents under the direction of Pelosi breached the building in an attempt to stop lawmakers from certifying his 2020 election loss frame 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.”

The Babylon Bee Made A Movie (This Is Not Satire. We Actually Made A Movie. Stop Laughing, This Is Serious)

We finally did it. We made a movie. And it's glorious.

We've been your trusted source of fake news for years. You've laughed at our headlines. You've shared our viral videos. A handful of you have listened to our podcast. But now, for the first time ever, we've written and produced a full-length mockumentary.

January 6: The Most Deadliest Day is a groundbreaking, soon-to-be Academy Award-winning film that exposes what really happened on that fateful day.

Our brave reporters went undercover to find the truth. We interviewed dangerous insurrectionists like The Lectern Guy and The Buffalo Guy. We talked to "experts" like Dennis Prager and some random guy from the Claremont Institute. We combined state-of-the-art forensic science with computer imagery to accurately reconstruct the most deadliest day in human history. And with no regard for our own safety, we went on location to the most terrifying sites in Washington D.C. where democracy and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez almost died.

10 Deadly Days In History That Were Still Less Deadly Than January 6



Human history is replete with dying, death, and deadly days. At times, it seems like all of human civilization has been marked by tragedy and bloodshed.

But there is one deadly day that overshadows all the other deadly days with its dread shadow of doom: January 6, the most deadliest day in human history. To prove our point, we at the Babylon Bee have compiled a list of 10 days which were deadly — but still not as deadly — as the dark day when democracy literally died multiple times.

Pearl Harbor: How dare you even compare the horrors of Jan. 6 to something like Pearl Harbor?

9/11: The Jan. 6ers were definitely all Christians, which means that they are more evil than the 9/11 attackers.

The destruction of Alderaan: Millions of voices crying out in terror was nothing compared to the day our democracy cried out in terror.

The curb-stomp of a defeat at Cannae where Hannibal handed the Roman soldiers their terga on a silver platter after that blind idiot Varro doubled up his troop lines instead of watching his flanks like he should have: Brutal, but not as brutal as the rabid protestors who walked through the Capitol without touching anything.

Noah's Flood: Almost as terrible as seeing the Capitol of Democracy flooded with rabid Trump supporters, but not quite.

The Eruption of Mt. Vesuvius: It only destroyed Pompeii. Jan. 6 destroyed America. Which is worse?

That time Thanos wiped out half of humanity even though it was actually a good thing: Jan. 6 wiped out the whole of Democracy. And it was a bad thing.

Bubonic Plague Outbreak in Europe: Jan. 6 was worse than the Black Death because it poisoned Democracy (TM).

The meteor impact that made the dinosaurs extinct: Which is worse: extinction of some lousy old dinosaurs or extinction of Democracy?

The election of Donald Trump: This is at least the 2nd most deadly day in history.

We hope that you have a better perspective now on just how bad the Jan. 6 riots were.

A new report has unearthed evidence that confirms President Donald Trump authorized the deployment of 10,000 troops at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. ...

Despite Trump’s clear directives, confusion and inaction at the Pentagon led to a standstill.

Trump did not specify whether the troops should be from the National Guard or active duty but stressed the need for adequate security measures.

The Pentagon officials did not follow through on Trump’s request.

Further complicating matters, when U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund sought to utilize Trump’s offer, his request was denied by the Secretary of the Army’s representative.

“The number of FBI informants participating in the January 6th 2021 protest will shock folks,” Massie said.

We don’t know the exact number of FBI informants in the Trump crowd on January 6, but there were so many that the FBI lost track.

The House Judiciary Republicans sent out a letter last September that included transcribed testimony from former Assistant Director-in-Charge of the Washington Field Office (WFO) Steven D’Antuono.

D’Antuono testified that the FBI had numerous confidential human sources (CHS) in the Trump crowd on January 6.

In fact, they had so many FBI operatives in the crowd they they had no idea how many were actually there that day.

Here’s an excellent video of Rep. Massie trying, and failing, to get some answers from a government official about FBI involvement in the Jan 6 “Insurrection!” A very good example of why I so totally distrust the despicable Democratic Party, their media, and our “fellow Americans” who support this monstrosity that has ruined our once great nation with their open borders, demonization of “Whiteness!” and their war on meritocracy which is being replaced with Equity aka race based Equal Outcomes. Excerpts below are from the description of the video. Trust is an essential ingredient for the cohesion of a country and ours is gone. Check out the comments on the video.

“Rep. Thomas Massie accused Attorney General Merrick Garland on Wednesday of lying during a House Judiciary Committee hearing about his knowledge of federal law enforcement activities during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.”

“Massie (R-Ky.) previously tangled with Garland in October 2021 over the same issue, questioning whether undercover FBI agents were present at the storming of the Capitol.”

“Breaking: DOJ report shows FBI field sources stormed the Capitol on January 6th.”

The crack team of journalists at The Babylon Bee turn their powers of investigation toward the most deadliest day in all of human history: January 6, 2021. They hunt down the dangerous criminals who stormed the Capitol, visit the haunting sites where incalculable numbers of people died on that fateful day, and ask experts really smart questions. You will laugh, you will cry, you will cower in terror at the monsters who almost ended democracy once and for all. January 6: Never forget to remember.

While vice chairwoman of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, former Rep. Liz Cheney used an encrypted phone app to directly and indirectly communicate around defense counsel --and possibly ethical rules -- with a witness who would later change her testimony in shocking fashion, according to evidence obtained by congressional investigators and Just the News.

Cheney’s Signal communications with witness Cassidy Hutchinson on June 6, 2022 and her friend, Alyssa Farah Griffin, were recently obtained by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., chairman of the House Administration oversight subcommittee that has identified significant problems with the original Democrat-run inquiry into the Jan. 6 incident.

The communications are now raising fresh concerns about the ethical conduct of that Democrat-run investigation. At the time of the communication, Hutchinson was represented by attorney Stefan Passantino, who told Just the News he did not authorize the contacts with Cheney and was not aware of them until contacted by Just the News.

People were trying to break into the Capitol? Why? Most of MAGA were standing before Trump as he spoke to them about the election we’d just lived through. He had convinced Senators Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz to debate the election in the Senate when, all of a sudden, a riot erupted.

That was when I knew something very bad was about to happen. No, not to our government officials. I knew they’d be fine. It was the Trump supporters who would not be. They had no power.

It wouldn’t matter, I knew, that we’d seen unprecedented violence over the Summer and that those protesters weren’t treated like terrorists or insurrectionists. It was different with MAGA who were by then, already named enemies of the state.

Most people I knew on the Left had no clue what Trump supporters were really like. Most of them existed inside the protective bubble of the Left. We’d built our Shining Woketopia on the Hill after Obama rose to power. And we essentially abandoned half the country and never looked back.

We carefully curated our information streams, our language, our movies, our music, our fashion. We “wokeified” it piece by piece until we’d come close to reaching our ideal as a society. And then Trump won in 2016 and our whole world turned upside down.

Trump supporters were, to us, everything we wanted them to be: angry white men who wanted to tie women to beds and keep them pregnant and having babies like pigs in gestational crates. They were crude and uneducated. They were racists and bigots and drove around in gas guzzlers, wrecking the planet. They were incels who hid on 4-Chan, trolls who did nothing but hurt all of the vulnerable groups, especially women.

They paraded so ridiculously around with those racist red hats and those garish flags. We were traumatized just seeing them. If we saw a Trump supporter in our neighborhood or in our public spaces, we would have to alert the manager and have them removed like a dead animal the cat dragged in.

We hated them. We wanted them gone. We didn’t like the idea that the Trump family was getting their grubby fingerprints all over the same White House that once housed the near-perfect Obama family.

But I couldn’t take it anymore and I decided to find out for myself what was true about them and what wasn’t. By the time January 6th rolled around, I knew that they were kind people, good Christians, many of them. The one thing they most definitely were not was violent. They prided themselves on being the patriotic side that would never smash windows or burn buildings or beat up cops.

So it was confusing to me that MAGA was acting like the ANTIFA rioters who went from city to city, burning buildings, smashing windows, and beating up cops. Why were Trump supporters acting that way? It made no sense.

But I also knew that everyone went a little crazy in 2020 and when one side lost their minds protesting it was excused. When the other side did it was war. They decided it was all okay, anything was allowed when it came to punishing them. Just having attended the rally that day made you a target of the FBI.

And yet, we also knew that hundreds of FBI informants were embedded in the operation, a fact even today no one is allowed to talk about. But a riot would never have helped Trump. Something else was guiding those desperate people to storm the Capitol.

On the contrary, January 6th handed the Democrats and the security state everything it wanted. It was like a wish list for an authoritarian crackdown. It erased blame for “defund the police” and the crime that rose in its wake. It silenced any conversations about the violence over the Summer. Now, it was not the Left that harassed and assaulted police officers. It was Trump supporters.

That’s what they want you to believe, anyway.

Judge squeezes DOJ’s bid to revive Jan. 6 obstruction charges

U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell ruled that the Supreme Court’s recent decision that gutted the routinely-used charge left virtually no wiggle room for prosecutors to revive them — even though the high court appeared to leave a path. ...

The Supreme Court in June ruled, 6-3, that prosecutors had improperly deployed the 20-year-old obstruction felony against members of the Jan. 6 mob. That law, an outgrowth of the Enron financial scandal, was aimed at preventing the destruction of evidence used by courts and congressional investigators —– and could not be applied in most cases to those who marauded through the Capitol, the justices said.

the people who fabricated the charges and the evidence need to be arrested and charged.

There are already reports of frenzy among the culpable DOJ lawyers, and FBI Director Wray is set to resign before Mr. Trump can fire him. Attorney General Merrick Garland has gone radio-silent for his own good since Election Day. Expect many abiding mysteries to get unraveled, such as exactly how many federal agents did work the crowd around the Capitol on J-6, 2021 — which Mr. Wray has pretended to not be able to discuss “due to ongoing investigations.” Expect to learn more about the pipe-bomb caper at the DNC HQ a few blocks away that same day. Prepare to be amazed at how deeply criminal these schemes were. You must wonder if the document-shredding party is already underway, despite calls to preserve all the emails, memos, and texts.
