I have a feeling we’re never going to get any honest information about any of this unless someone leaks something or blows the whistle on it.
The level of stupidity needed to believe that Trump plotted to interrupt his own electoral vote certification challenge is off the charts, as is the level of stupidity needed to believe that he plotted to keep election fraud evidence out of the congressional record.
If all the defendants are pursuing a “blame Trump” legal strategy that is also highly suspicious.
Not suspicious at all. Public defenders are leftys and will obviously blame Trump. Private lawyers, regardless of their political leanings, will use the best defense available to them, which is to blame someone else.
A member of the far-right Oath Keepers charged with rioting at the U.S. Capitol met with Secret Service agents before the siege and received a VIP pass to the rally where then-President Donald Trump spoke, according to a court filing.
A defense attorney for Jessica Watkins said in Saturday’s filing that the Oath Keeper was in Washington, D.C. to “provide security” for the speakers at the Jan. 6 rally, where she stood within 50 feet of the stage.
Watkins is one of nine people linked to the Oath Keepers charged with conspiring to block the certification of the election results in the most sweeping indictment prosecutors have issued so far in the investigation into the violence at the Capitol.
The filing suggests Watkins had a more formal role than previously known at the rally, where hundreds of Trump supporters gathered before walking to the Capitol and forcing their way inside.
In asking a judge to grant Watkins bail, the lawyer, public defender Michelle Peterson, said the government’s filings in the case are “filled with rhetorical flourishes design to inflame the passions of its readers without supporting evidence.”
“Watkins was present not as an insurrectionist, but to provide security to the speakers at the rally,” according to the filing.
The Secret Service didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on the nature of Watkins’ meeting with the agents.
The filing also blamed Trump for contributing to the violence, a strategy lawyers for many of the accused rioters have pursued in court.
Watkins “believed that the President of the United States was calling upon her and her small militia group to support the President and the Constitution,” the filing said. “She was ready to serve her Country in that manner.”
LOL, that waifish twink was there to protect and provide security? Is that the line of bullshit they're expecting us to swallow? This is patently ridiculous.
There is no such thing as an "Oath Keeper transwoman".
We have a broad tent, trannies and jannies are welcome.
If I know anything about trans people...
They are mentally stable folks who are to be believed and trusted at all costs. Never doubt a tranny.
God I needed that laugh

Weird how the other oath keeper was tied to the FB of I and here this oath keeper is testifying GEOTUS wanted her there. WEIRD
VIP pass to the rally. Who was giving away VIP passes? Weird, just jumped to a new level. Just like Pence the Mason.
Not necessary... that could be fake. I would be skeptical of everything here.

“... where hundreds of Trump supporters gathered before walking to the Capitol and forcing their way inside.”
Hundreds gathered? Forcing their way inside?
And the Herald expects me to pay for this crap?
Is conspiring to stop a legal proceeding a crime? It just sounds like a protest when they out it that way.
I came in to bitch about it but skimmed the thread and found that u/Monsieur_Novembre came through with the pasta
You really shouldn't be repeating marxist vocabulary.
Hes a man. Call him a a fucking man.
I wouldn't call that a man
True but closer than a woman at least?
Definitely. There are zero woman traits in this boy. The traits are closer to a stupid homosexual boy.
strange that there is no real investigation of these clowns
