    Mo Brooks was wearing body armor the day of Trump's insurrection.


    Don’t Negotiate With Trump’s Disease-Spreading Zombie Army

    excerpt:

    "Meanwhile, Brooks had more to say in support of the failed terrorist and Trump voter who streamed his pathetic attempt to blow up the Library of Congress last week than he did about Officer Brian Sicknick, who died trying to protect the Capitol. Recently, Brooks confirmed he was wearing body armor during his Jan. 6 speech to the Trump supporters who would later overrun the nation’s Capitol.

    “Should I wear a striped tie? Cuff links? Bow tie? Body armor?” is a totally normal, daily sartorial debate for elected officials. Meanwhile, his colleagues who didn’t get the memo and were barricaded, protected by Capitol Hill officers, fearing for their lives."

    Brooks, a U.S. House member, wore body armor and helped incite a riot at the Capitol so that he could obtain Trump's support for a U.S. Senate race in Alabama.

    The other current U.S. Senator from Alabama is former football coach Tommy Tuberville who was elected in 2020 with the help of Trump's endorsement.

    Later, Brooks wanted the U.S. Justice Department to defend him against lawsuits stemming from what he claims was the performing of his government job at Trump's rally on the Ellipse on January 6.


    Turns Out Mo Brooks Was Wearing Body Armor to Trump’s Very Peaceful Jan. 6 Rally

    excerpt:

    "Brooks’ support of Trump’s efforts to overturn the election successfully earned him the former president’s endorsement in the 2022 Alabama Senate race. But it’s also earned him legal issues. California Rep. Eric Swalwell sued Brooks and others earlier this year for fomenting the Jan. 6 riot. The Justice Department this week refused Brooks’ request to shield him from the lawsuit, in part because he’d basically admitted he was thinking about winning elections—not doing his job—when he started his rally chant. And though Brooks is claiming to dismiss the select committee hearings as a political stunt, the committee could seek to bring him in for questioning about what he knew, or didn’t know, ahead of the riot."

    Trump’s political operation paid more than $4.3 million to Jan. 6 organizers but questions remain about the full extent of its involvement

    excerpt:

    "Former President Donald Trump’s political operation reported paying more than $4.3 million to people and firms that organized the Jan. 6 rally since the start of the 2020 election. However, questions remain about the full extent of the Trump campaign’s involvement in the “Save America” rally on the day of the Capitol attack as a House select committee’s sweeping requests attempt to shine some light on that day’s events.

    On Friday, the U.S. House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol sent letters requesting information from 15 social media companies. On Aug. 25, the select committee sent requests to federal agencies for records related to the riot.

    The letters ask agencies from the National Archives and Records Administration to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice to expedite the gathering of the records, asking for information within two-weeks."

    Maryland man arrested in connection with Capitol riot.


    Silver Spring man arrested in connection to Capitol Riot | wusa9.com

    excerpt:

    "The DOJ references the publicly available video, saying Hayah was part of a "physical confrontation" as officers attempted to get rioters out of the building.

    Hayah is accused of putting his hands on a Metropolitan Police Department officer and pushing the officer approximately 10 feet into the crowd of rioters before leaving the building just before 3 p.m.

    A Florida man was also arrested in connection to the Capitol Riot Thursday. The DOJ says 40-year-old Robert Flynt Fairchild Jr. was captured on body camera footage walking up and down the police line along the security gate barriers.

    Fairchild is accused of grabbing a security gate and attempting to remove it from an officer’s control. Later Fairchild was allegedly seen pushing with the crowd against the barriers, causing officers to use their batons and hands to fight back."

    I know he sure fucked we small business guys. Imagine, I have to drive thousands of miles, unreimbursed, every year for my job. I can't even deduct my car and miles as a business expense - yet investors can deduct pretty much any investment expense.

    You get the government you can afford, which is whatever the hell the mass media tells you is affordable, while the government regulates the same mass media. The latest evidence indicates that watching television reduces your lifespan by decades, and the white population is about to die watching televangelism. I'm working on the mathematics to make it cheap and easy to document, just how fast they kill themselves, and how to speed it up a bit. Not in the hopes of saving the country or whatever, just making a profit off encouraging complete assholes to kill themselves faster, before they kill the rest of us!

    Defense attorney for a group of Trump's rioters goes missing.


    Lawyer for 17 defendants in Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection cases missing

    excerpt:

    "MILWAUKEE – The cases against 17 of the more than 500 people charged in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol are on hold after their attorney – who once represented Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse – has gone missing.

    An associate told a judge that the attorney, John M. Pierce, was in an accident, then told another judge Pierce was actually on a ventilator, hospitalized with COVID-19, according to a notice prosecutors filed in court in Washington, D.C., on Monday."

    Trump rioter pleads guilty.


    https://www.kentucky.com/news/local/crime/article253853013.html

    excerpt:

    "A woman who attended the University of Kentucky pleaded guilty Monday to a charge related to the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot.

    In federal court in Washington D.C., Gracyn Dawn Courtright pleaded guilty to a charge of entering and remaining in a restricted area, according to federal court records. She had faced more charges.

    Courtright, who is from West Virginia, will be sentenced Nov. 16. She could face up to six months in prison in addition to other fines and restitution.

    She was attending UK at the time of the riot and had gotten court permission to travel to Lexington for classes. But a petition calling for her expulsion from UK circulated after her Jan. 6 activities became known. UK officials said on Feb. 24 they couldn’t provide any records for Courtright despite previously confirming she attended UK. Courtright was scheduled to graduate in May."

    She made herself easily identified by carrying a 'members only' sign.

    Lawyer Representing 17 Jan. 6 Defendants Has Mysteriously Disappeared And May Be Gravely Ill With Covid, U.S. Attorney Says

    excerpt:

    "Pierce posted disparaging comments about the Covid-19 vaccine on his Twitter account as recently as August 17, writing in a tweet: “The entire 82nd Airborne couldn’t make me get an experimental government vaccine stuck in my arm.” In a separate tweet on March 23, he wrote, “I personally think anyone who trusts the government to shoot some vague, unknown ‘vaccine’ in their arm for a virus with origin of a CCP biological weapons lab is taking a very big risk.” The vaccines have been proven safe and effective and, no, Covid-19 was not a bioweapon."

    Attorney Pierce said he is going to find out what really happened on January 6.


    He Repped Kyle Rittenhouse, MAGA Monkey Owners… and Capitol Rioters

    excerpt:

    "Pierce now represents at least 17 of the Jan. 6 defendants, more than any other lawyer. His clients include Proud Boy William Pepe and L. Brent Bozell IV, the son of conservative media commentator L. Brent Bozell III. Pierce also represents Ryan Samsel, an accused rioter identified by prosecutors as the man caught on video consulting with a top Proud Boy leader before attacking police officers in the riot’s first minutes.

    “We are going to take every one of these cases to trial, we are going to seek full acquittals, and in that process we are going to find out what actually happened on Jan. 6,” Pierce said at a June rally in support of the riot defendants.

    In one court hearing, Pierce said he would pursue a “public authority defense”—an unusual legal tactic sometimes used by informants that would see him argue that his clients believed that the government, in the form of Donald Trump, had legally sanctioned their law-breaking."

    Hundreds of Trump's adherents rioted at the Capitol and now they are being nailed for it one after another.

    Pierce seems to think that Trump's rioters were like informants, sanctioned by Trump, on a mission to find out what really happened with the 2020 election and are therefore innocent.

    The person currently substituting for Pierce to defend Trump's rioters doesn't sound too good.


    https://www.washingtonpost.com/loca...b93eca-0054-11ec-ba7e-2cf966e88e93_story.html

    excerpt:

    "Marshall has been appearing in court on Pierce’s behalf but is not a licensed attorney, might not ever become one given pending felony charges, and “cannot ethically or legally represent Mr. Pierce’s clients,” prosecutors said Monday.

    The chief financial officer of Pierce’s legal nonprofit, Marshall has been charged with falsifying court documents and fraud. Marshall has pleaded not guilty."

    The best fiction writers would have difficulty concocting situations as jackass as the ones Trump has spawned.
