The Biden administration is planning to charge another thousand Trump supporters with crimes related to the Jan. 6 Capitol cla🃏sh.
This will perpetuate an atmosphere of political emergency that justifies President Joe Biden’s war on domestic extremism.
But a change in federal judges has turned the Jan. 6 trials into a kangaroo court and makes a mockery of sending nonviolent Trump supporte🦩rs to prison for threatening American democracy.
More than a thousand people have already be🍒en charged with Jan.⛦ 6 offenses.
That is equal to a♌lmost half of the total number of protesters who entered the Capitol that day.
A corruptꦉ numbers game is at the heart of the Biden propagan🐎da-prosecution campaign.
The more people indicted for Jan. 6, 🦩the easier it becomes for the Biden reelection campaign to por𝓀tray the president as the savior against right-wing tyranny.
Jan. 6 is also Biden’s primary proof Americ𝕴a is in grave danger from .
The Biden🌼 White House has already exploited the Capitol clash to sanctify federal censorship.
Biden White House Digital Di𓄧rector Robert Flaherty invoked Jan. 6 to browbeat Faꦬcebook into increasing its suppression of true criticisms of COVID policies and vaccines.
Most of the Jan. 6 prote🍃sters who violently attacked police or wantonly destroyed public pro🔜perty have already been justifiably charged by the feds.
But Biden prosecutors are ruining people’s lives for “parading without a permit” near the Capitol that day.
With another thousand cases in the works, will they vili✱fy anyone who allegedly had seditious tho🃏ughts within a mile of the Capitol?
Pro-Trump groups had official permits to protesꦬt Jan. 6 near t𝓰he Capitol.
Video from that day shows police and perhaps un♐dercover agents or informants dismantling barriers t𝓰hat blocked protesters from entering prohibited areas.
The full role of undercover federal agents or operatives on Jan. ♔6 remains secret𓆏.
Regardless, collective guilt was speedily attached to 🙈all pro💖testers.
Capitol Policeﷺ Acting Chief Yogananda Pittman told Congress that Jan. 6 involved “a terrorist attack byℱ tens of thousands of insurrectionists.”
Pittma༒n’s statement sounded deranged in 2021 but has since morphed into Team Biden conventional wisdom.
The FBI classifies all Jan. 6 defendants as “domestic terrorists” —🀅 even though only a small percentage of the Truꦕmp protesters engaged in violence that day, and most have only been convicted on misdemeanor charges.
FBI whistleblowers reveal that FBI bosses “have pressured agents to move cases into the [domestic violence and extremism] category to hit self-created performance metrics,” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) recounted.
FBI Special Agent Garret O’Boyle said that “the FBI made him divide one domestic terrorism case into ‘four🐬 different cases,’” , “to show Congress an influx of domestic-terrorism cases.”
If the Jan. 6 court cases were heard by juries of the defendants’ peers, federal prosecutors would 🍬likely be striking out far and wide.
Instead, all the cases a꧋re being heard in Washington with juries stocked with government employees who believe everything they hear on NPℱR.
At least one judge is blocking Jan. 6 defendants from access to Capitol security footage Tucker Carlson already aired recently.
As of Friday, the new chief judge for the DC✅ federal circuit overseeing all Jan. 6 prosecutions is James Boasberg.
Boasbeౠrg w💛as the guardian angel for a corrupt FBI official whose actions helped open the floodgates to political chaos and pervasive distrust.
Former FBI Assistant Gene𓆏ral C💃ounsel Kevin Clinesmith confessed in 2020 to falsifying key evidence to get a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant to spy on the 2016 Trump presidential campaign.
That investigation spurred a torrent of leaks of classified information by the FBI (including by chief James Comey) and the appointment of special coun꧙sel Robert Muelle♒r.
His investigation roiled nati꧃onal politics for two years before Mueller admitted there was no evidence to prosecute Trump or hꦺis campaign officials for colluding with Russia in the 2016 campaign.

Federal prosecutors wanted the disgraced FBI lawyer sent to pris💧on because his crime’s “resulting harm is ❀immeasurable.”
But Boasberg gushed with sympathy for the confessed 🌌criminal: “Mr. Clinesmith has lost his job in government service — what has given his life much of its meaning.” Boasberg gave Clinesmith a wrist slap — 400 hours of community service and 12 months of probation.
The Justice Department inspector general documented many abuses of power and deceit by FBI officials in the Tru🦋mp investigation,ꩲ but not a single FBI official has spent a day behind bars.
Does Boasberg believe feder♔al agents have a right to subvert our democracy?
Videos Tucker Carlson released show legions🌠 of protestors walking peacefully through the Capitol Jan.🐷 6.
How can federal prosecutors hound citizens who committed no violence after the chief federal judge practically absolved the FBI official whose crime helped open a politic👍al Pandora’s box?
We still don’t know all that happened inside the Capitol Jan. 6, and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy promises to “slowly roll ou𒁃t” the 40,000 hours of surveillance footage to every news agency.
But Team Biden’s plan to𒅌 sacrifice another thousand Americans on the Jan. 6 a𝓀ltar is a travesty of justice and due process.
