Biden's Justice Department wants to hire 131 more lawyers to prosecute January 6 cases

https://sports.yahoo.com/biden...-hire-200305246.html

Deputy AG Lisa Monaco said the January 6 inquiry is among the "most complex" the government has ever handled.

Monaco said the funding would alleviate pressure on prosecutors' offices that have pitched in.

The Justice Department has brought more than 750 cases so far linked to the Capitol attack.

The Justice Department wants to hire 131 additional lawyers to help with the hundreds of prosecutions stemming from the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, according to the Biden administration's budget request for the upcoming fiscal year.

Rolling out the Justice Department's portion of that request Monday, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco emphasized the scope of the January 6 investigation, which law enforcement officials have repeatedly described as unprecedented.

In the nearly 15 months since a pro-mob stormed the Capitol, the Justice Department has brought more than 770 prosecutions, including cases charging members of far-right groups with seditious conspiracy.

"The January 6 investigation is among the most wide-ranging and most complex that this department has ever undertaken. It reaches nearly every US attorney's office, nearly every FBI field office," Monaco said.

"Regardless of whatever resources we seek or get, let's be very, very clear: We are going to continue to do those cases. We are going to hold those perpetrators accountable, no matter where the facts lead us, [and] as the attorney general has said, no matter at what level. We will do those cases," she added.

The Justice Department is seeking $34.1 million to bring on additional attorneys for the January 6 investigation. In total, Biden administration has requested nearly $37.7 billion in discretionary funding for the Justice Department, a more than $2.6 billion increase from the amount approved for the current fiscal year.

The request comes on the heels of the Justice Department securing convictions in the first trial connected to the Capitol attack. Earlier this month, a jury found a Texas man named Guy Reffitt guilty of trespassing on restricted Capitol grounds with a handgun, along with separate charges related to January 6. Reffitt, a member of the far-right Three Percenters militia, is set for sentencing on June 8.

Two weeks after Reffitt's conviction, a federal judge found Cowboys for Trump leader Couy Griffin guilty of trespassing on Capitol grounds, a misdemeanor carrying a maximum sentence of a year in prison. Judge Trevor McFadden acquitted Griffin on a separate disorderly conduct charge and set his sentencing for June 17.

Monaco, the second-ranking Justice Department official, said the requested funding would alleviate the pressure on US attorneys' offices that have pitched in to assist with the sprawling January 6 investigation.

The prosecution of those cases, she said, "draws on resources from across the US attorneys' offices — those same resources that are needed to fight violent crime, those same resources that are needed to investigate corporate crime across the country. Those same resources that are going to help us enforce our civil rights laws."

The January 6 prosecutions have targeted not only those accused of storming the Capitol to prevent Congress from certifying now-President Joe Biden's electoral victory.

Last year, federal prosecutors secured an indictment charging former President Donald Trump's onetime chief strategist, Steve Bannon, with contempt of Congress over his defiance of the House committee investigating the January 6 insurrection.

Bannon's trial is scheduled to begin in July.

The House also recommended that the Justice Department charge Trump's former White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, with criminal contempt of Congress. But the Justice Department has so far not brought a case stemming from that referral.

On Monday, the January 6 committee is planning to vote to hold two other onetime Trump advisors — Dan Scavino and Peter Navarro — in contempt for defying subpoenas seeking documents and testimony.

Earlier on Monday, the House committee scored a victory in court when a federal judge in California ordered the conservative lawyer John Eastman to turn over more than 100 emails to the panel.

In the ruling, Judge David Carter said Trump "likely" committed the felony offense of obstructing Congress when he pushed to disrupt the certification of the 2020 election results.

No wonder they say,”Politics is a dirty business.” 3 ba bababa billion in discretionary funding (Spending)?

Fuck me arunnin’!

A new documentary film is coming out

https://www.breitbart.com/poli...fort-to-elect-biden/

Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg spent nearly $400 million on the 2020 presidential election in an effort to bolster then-candidate Joe Biden and quash former President Donald Trump, a documentary film from Citizens United Productions, Rigged: The Zuckerberg-Funded Plot to Defeat Donald Trump, details.

https://citizensunitedmovies.com/pages/rigged

The 40-minute documentary blows the lid off the tech billionaire’s efforts, alongside left-wing operatives, to unseat Trump under the guise of providing aid to assist with safety in the wake of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic. These leftists essentially dumped private funding into government elections, creating an artificial groundswell of get-out-the-vote efforts for Biden, whose public enthusiasm levels clearly waned throughout the election cycle, prompting jokes about the then-candidate hiding in his basement.

Overall, Zuckerberg spent $400 million in 2020 — only $61 million short of the $461 million the Democratic National Committee (DNC) spent in both 2019 and 2020.

The explosive documentary details just how these left-wing operatives sprinkled “Zuck Bucks” in various areas around the country to influence the election. All of this is documented via 990 forms non-profit groups file with the IRS.

Specifically, the documentary “traces the river of cash flowing from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to a pair of 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations, the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) and the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR).” Interestingly, the Chan Zuckerberg Institute happens to involve a number of well-connected Democrat players, including former President Obama’s former campaign manager, David Plouffe, whom the press release describes as the institute’s “Strategist in Residence.” Joel Benenson, the chief strategist for twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, also conveniently served as an adviser at the institute.

The CTCL, which received roughly $328 million in Zuckerberg money, awarded about 2,500 grants around the country. And while Zuckerberg’s team claims that Trump areas were awarded more money than Biden areas, the documentary explains how that assertion is “enormously, and perhaps purposely, misleading, because of the approximately 160 grants of $400,000 or more – totaling some $270 million – an incredible 92 percent of those funds went to jurisdictions carried by Joe Biden in 2020.”

As Breitbart News detailed consistently throughout the election year, Democrats used the Chinese coronavirus pandemic to usher in new voting rules under the guise of public safety, and that is exactly what “Zuck Bucks” operated under as well, as the grants were purportedly designed to assist with the “safe administration of public elections” throughout the pandemic. In other words, this money rushed to Democrat strongholds, as well as key swing areas, under the guise of addressing pandemic needs. Yet, that is not what they really intended it to do.

“This is all about the great intention of, hey, we’re gonna make it more secure,” Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry says in the documentary, as hardly any of the money went toward Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

“We’re gonna make it more safe. We want to make sure that people feel comfortable coming to the poll, but that’s not what they ended up doing,” Landry added, as these jurisdictions used the money to push Democrat objectives such as universal mail-in voting and ballot drop boxes, just as two examples. In other words, the money was used to create an artificial buzz benefiting Joe Biden. The money itself went to nearly every state– 48/50, including Democrat strongholds. According to the documentary, this strategy — dumping money in areas that Biden was sure to win (California) and sure to lose (Texas) “reveals that a secondary aim of the plan was to score a public relations victory by padding Biden’s popular vote tally, in the event that he lost narrowly in the Electoral College.”

Essentially, “Zuck Bucks” ultimately “pressured” governmental entities to adopt these radical Democrat ideas to transform the election, pushing mail-in ballots and increasing the number of ballot drop boxes, both of which stand as a “rampant invitation” for fraud, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) notes in the documentary. Ultimately, the film notes that the coronavirus provided the “perfect cover” for Zuckerberg’s money to go to work in crucial battleground states, fulfilling the Democrat mantra of never letting a crisis go to waste.

Further, the film specifically focuses on three key battleground states, which Biden won by slim margins — Wisconsin, Arizona, and Georgia.

CTCL dumped $860,000 in Kenosha, Wisconsin, for example, and another $1.2 million in Green Bay and Madison, $1.7 million in Racine, and $3.4 million in Milwaukee. Similarly, the documentary reveals that $5.1 million of the Zuckerberg money went to Arizona. What is more, “four difference-making counties – Maricopa, Pima, Apache, and Coconino – received nearly 76 percent of the grants, and all were carried by Joe Biden,” per the press release. Notably, Biden won Arizona by less than half a percentage point, or fewer than 11,000 votes.

Perhaps most stunningly, $50 million in grants from both CTCL and CEIR went to the Peach State:

A whopping 94 percent of the CTCL funds in the state went to jurisdictions carried by Biden. Additionally, the consent decree signed off on by Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger undercut the process for matching signatures on absentee ballots and restricted the ability to challenge contested ballots.

“In my mind, they were clearly rigging the election,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says in Rigged. “I’m not convinced that the election was stolen on Election Day. I think the bigger story was that across the whole country for months, there was an effort to rig the election to make it virtually impossible for Trump to win.”

The documentary will premiere at Trump’s “Winter White House” Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, on April 5, 2022. Viewers can watch the film after the premiere at www.Rigged2020.com.

I remember reading accounts of the election in Green Bay, where it was clear to observers that Zuck Bucks were paying for "Zuck Thugs", guys who controlled access to the counting room in the convention center rather than the usual City Hall location, Zucks Thugs had the only keys to the facility by orders of the mayor. And of course the count went for three days, no oversight whatsoever.

And I'm sure Zuck Bucks was for paying for an election army of sorts for Biden. And in Milwaukee-

Speaking of documentaries, if anyone has yet to watch "The Plot Against the President", I HIGHLY recommend it...

Jan. 6 defendant Matthew Martin has been found not guilty of all four misdemeanor counts he faced. Judge Trevor McFadden found Martin's defense that USCP officers allowed him to come into the Capitol plausible. More to come.

https://twitter.com/ZoeTillman.../1511775518546399239

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/a...ew-martin-not-guilty

A federal judge on Wednesday found that a New Mexico man “reasonably believed” that police officers let him into the US Capitol during the Jan. 6 breach, finding defendant Matthew Martin not guilty of all charges.

Announcing his decision from the bench, US District Judge Trevor McFadden said that although prosecutors argued there were numerous instances when Martin would have been aware that he wasn’t allowed on Capitol grounds or inside the building — as he walked past fences with signs saying “AREA CLOSED” and recorded video of a broken window, blaring alarms, police in riot gear, and people who appeared to have encountered tear gas — those were outweighed by Martin’s “plausible” belief that he had permission because officers didn’t try to stop him from entering.

McFadden said that Martin’s conduct was as “minimal and non-serious” as the judge could imagine for someone who went into the Capitol on Jan. 6. He said that Martin seemed to be a “silent observer” of the scene and didn’t try to crowd the police, protest, or wave the “Trump” flag that he was carrying. Martin appeared “quiet” and “orderly” as he walked inside the building, filmed video inside the Rotunda similar to how the media would behave, and didn’t appear to interfere with officers as he filmed a clash with rioters later in the afternoon on a north terrace of the building.

The verdict represented an early test of efforts by some Jan. 6 defendants to argue that police allowed them to enter the Capitol, or that they believed they had permission because no officer told them to stop. It’s the third trial related to Jan. 6 to finish since the insurrection. Other judges presiding over Jan. 6 cases aren’t bound by McFadden’s findings, but other defendants could now point to his analysis of what it would take to find a nonviolent participant in the breach of the Capitol guilty of federal crimes.

McFadden, one of the court’s newer judges confirmed under former president Donald Trump, has emerged as one of the more skeptical members of the DC bench when it comes to the Justice Department’s charging decisions in Jan. 6 cases. In other cases, he’s questioned whether prosecutors were “even-handed” in their treatment of people charged in connection with the Capitol attack as compared to previous protests, a comment that prompted public disagreement from one of his colleagues, US District Judge Tanya Chutkan.

Martin took the rare step of testifying in his own defense this week; his case was decided by the judge at a bench trial, not by a jury. He was unapologetic about joining the crowd that flooded the building as lawmakers gathered to certify the results of the election. He described Jan. 6 as “magical,” even as he acknowledged that some “bad things” had happened and said that he didn’t regret coming to Washington, although he might have stayed away from the Capitol.

^^^ Sounds like they all might have better odds with a bench trial than the almost completely democrat voting population of Washington DC. Not likely any jury in DC will find any of them not guilty.

But then it will be up to the judge selection lottery. Get a democrat appointed judge get convicted. Get a republican appointed judge and you might get a fair trial but still no guaranties.

Nation of laws and not men? Sadly not anymore.

Thomas Jefferson (1816):

“If a nation expects to be ignorant & free, in a state of civilisation, it expects what never was & never will be.

The functionaries of every government have propensities to command at will the liberty & property of their constituents. There is no safe deposit for these but with the people themselves; nor can they be safe with them without information.

Where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe.”


true then, true now. Too bad some of our present day "leaders" don't think like this

I just read an article about a sneaky ploy to get around the 22nd Amendment and put Obama back in as President. I reread the text of the Amendment and there is a chance the ploy might could work (gag, retch). Says the Amendment only prohibits a person from being ELECTED for more than 8 years, but doesn't say anything about SERVING more. It's imbedded in this article: https://www.wnd.com/2022/04/bi...bcfdd137231987e4522a.

But, Trump will be re-instated once they finish the vote count fraud and all the enemies of the state are mass arrested and taken to GITMO for the tribunals.

You have to trust the plan.

This is about as likely to happen as the plan to put Trump in the House as Speaker. Garbage that both sides put out to stimulate their respective bases.

I didn't say it was probable, just that it's being thought about. Both scenarios (Obama and Trump) are wild ideas, but appear to be legal.

Here’s why judicial impartiality matters.

US District Judge Reggie Walton—who oversaw a J6 case—after verdict: “Trump is a charlatan who caused an insurgency. He is tearing America apart. That’s the reason why our country is falling apart. I am proud of the jury for doing this.”



biased activist judges have done some serious damage to our country

Two years into a presidency with an idiot that SHOULD be giving them plenty of fresh material every week and these assholes are STILL obsessing over Trump?

This needs to be read with the historical context. When FDR died, Truman became President. The amendment was written so that Truman could be elected to two terms. He then had the same chance as every other Vice-President had been able to do. Be elected twice. Truman was the last President with the chance to serve more then 8 years.
