Jan 6, 2022 - The Continuation Foul

Stewie was stewing in court. His ex wife said he never read Kafka.

Moments before being sentenced to 18 years in prison for seditious conspiracy in connection with the Capitol riot, Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes went on an unhinged, politically charged rant—and continued to pledge fealty to the former president whose rhetoric landed him in prison in the first place.

“I’m a political prisoner,” Rhodes, clad in an orange prison uniform, said from the podium in D.C. federal court on Thursday. “I feel like I’m the lead character in Kafka’s The Trial.”

Not to be mistaken for Dr Jessica Watkins, the astronaut:

 

More like Metamorphosis, amirite?

This is as hard as it’s ever been for me to avoid the prison rape joke.

 

Well one's patriot, one's a scum of the earth so we always had that way to tell them apart

 

And that eyesocket just sitting there so pretty...

There.
Took care of that for you.

 

It's not going there and be a bigger hero and leader than Schlienger, she will most likely be a pitcher and not a catcher.

 

Since he’s a political prisoner he can Bobby Sands himself. He could stand to lose the weight.

WELP!!

A member of the far-right Oath Keepers extremist group who was part of a security detail for former President Donald Trump’s longtime adviser Roger Stone before storming the U.S. Capitol was sentenced on Thursday to more than four years in prison,” the AP reports.

 

4 years, eight years. Meh.

Only Rhodes is doing real time. The rest? G. Gordon Liddy is laughing at them. And at us.

 

Well of course he’s a political prisoner, but a legitimate one. Seditious conspiracy fits the definition any way you look at it.

 

Not a surprise…

BREAKING: Log shows that 10 members of Congress attended Trump’s meeting to put pressure on Mike Pence to decertify the election results of 2020.

The List:

Rep. Brian Babin (R-Texas)
Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.)
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.)
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas)
Rep. Paul…

I think I would have guessed 7 of them (having forgotten, temporally, about the other three).

 

Everything is a grift!

In retrospective, Ronnie emptying the mental health facilities also led us to this moment in history.

 

I’m sure @diablodelsol has been checked into a mental facility, soon to emerge as The Joker.

 

I can’t remember who it was exactly, but the argument was made that the DOJ was sitting on its hands because they were waiting for the J6 committee to get this stuff and avoid being political. Bullshit.

This shows Wray shut down investigation into political figures, and Garland was either uninterested or too chickenshit to pursue it.

 

One could just choose to defend democracy once given the power to do so

"A new chief prosecutor would typically need weeks or months to get up to speed on a high-priority investigation. But Smith issued subpoenas in the Jan. 6 probe after just four days"

DoJ drug their feet but Smith was issuing subpoenas after only four days.

While there is a lot to criticize the DoJ for, this is just a rehash of things that are already known and written with the typical anti-Garland slant.

As mentioned previously, the J6 committee was already investigating Trump's involvement in the J6, so everything they discover would be handed over to the DoJ once the committee was done. Additionally, Garland had made the decision to start at the bottom and work their way up the chain.

That's why you had investigations into the Oathkeepers and Proud Boys that ultimately resulted in sedition charges for their leadership and that investigation has spread into looking at their connections with Trump's campaign to see if there was direction from people in Trump's circle to the Oathkeepers' and Proud Boys' actions on that day.

Yes, it is incredibly slow and plodding, but welcome to investigations into the leadership of criminal organizations. Take a look at how long it took to investigate, charge, and arrest mob bosses. It took years of investigation, dozens of arrests of the rank and file goons, that resulted in the FBI making it up the ranks to where they could start flipping high ranking officers so they could get the boss.

Yes, justice is slow AF, but seriously, why do you think Smith was able to start issuing subpoenas to appear in front of the Grand Jury within days of his special investigation starting? It's because the DoJ (and J6) spent the time before his appointment building up evidence and laying the groundwork for his investigation.
