George Tanios was wrongfully charged by the DOJ with 10 felony counts, including the death of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick - despite the fact of irrefutable video evidence that he did no violence against any law enforcement officer and was nowhere near Sicknick. Nevertheless, George was 'swatted' at his home and spent 5.5 months in jail before the DC appellate court forced the presiding judge to release him after twice being denied bond. All those charges were ultimately dropped, and Goerge finally accepted a plea deal that included the trespassing charge, even though he never went inside the Capitol. Case closed? No. Now George is being sued for "wrongful death" by the Sicknick family for $10 million - named in the same case along with former President Trump - and to be presided over by the DOJ's #1 hitman judge in J6 cases, Amit Mehta. There's no better example of the unlawful, unconstitutional weaponization of the DOJ against individual Americans' civil rights than in George Tanios' ongoing story. There're more punch lines and kicks in the gut, here, than almost any other J6 story. Now, the DOJ is clearly in the retaliation phase of its persecution of George, for having won a 3-to-0 appellate court victory against their attempts to convict an innocent man.

Only twoseconds into this short video, you’ll see a wooden 2x4, with a nail sticking out the end, enter the scene. It is being pointed at what appears to be a female photographer with “Press” marked across the back of her helmet. Five seconds in, the '2x4 guy' swats her gas mask with his hand, then he seems intent on using the 2x4 on her in some other way. At exactly that moment, another photog, (with a couple of press badges on his lanyard), has witnessed this taking place and immediately begins moving down the steps toward them, to intervene. I’d never noticed this event in over two years of reviewing my own videos from J6, but as I was keying in on all those riot-ready press guys for the feature in my Locals community, this jumped out at me for the first time. (This happens at exactly 1:30 pm on J6.)

This was a tough interview in some regards. Jake is unapologetic about his actions on January 6. In his violent actions, he believes he was acting in the defense of others who were being attacked by both Capitol Police and DC Metro Police. He even believes he was ordained by God to be put in the position he found himself in that day. Not just by God, but that he was also acting on the principles set forth by this country’s Founding Fathers. Jake also believes January 6 was the first battle of the second American Revolution. He doesn’t give credence to the conspiracy theories that Antifa or elements of federal agencies were involved in the breaching of those first barricade lines or the Capitol Building itself. He believes those individuals were “true patriots” there to stop the certification of an illegal election in “the spirit of revolution.” This was a two-part interview — conducted on February 3rd and 16th of 2023 — covering almost two hours of conversation. During Part One of the interview, it got pretty contentious at times. Jake frequently interrupted my questions and at one point he even called me a “tyrant sympathizer.” During Part Two of the interview — which begins at 57:25 — Jake was much more even-keeled. I think he then understood that my hardline of questions about his actions was less a criticism, and more a desire to understand his mindset on that day. Jake is passionate and well articulates his ideas and positions. This interview is worth a listen and will be a surprise to those who think January 6 was only instigated by Antifa or “the Feds.” My position remains unchanged. I still believe January 6 was instigated by professional provocateurs — whomever they might be associated with — and that what I saw that day consisted of three types of individuals: bad people who did bad things, good people who did good things, and otherwise good people who did stupid things — whipped into the fray by those pros. Jake rejects the notion that he falls into any of those categories. Listen, and he’ll tell you why.

As I’ve detailed in Part 1 and Part 2 of this series, The United States Capitol Police (USCP) frontline officers were purposefully blindsided by the events of January 6, 2021. Their leadership withheld vital intel, as well as information about the legally permitted events to take place that day on the Capitol lawn. Emerging from that day’s riotous melee were both heroes and villains. As we have become painfully aware over the last three years, what is force-fed us by our government officials and their sycophant media sources is far too often the exact opposite of the truth. This story is yet another such example . . .

Steve discusses how the events of January 6, and all that followed, has changed his life. It's a brief review of some of the things he witnessed that day, and the subsequent fallout. He also shares a portion of his conversation - this week - with the NY Times reporter who wrote 'that' story about Ray Epps. And, a few other tidbits about J6 you may have never before heard.

The TwitterFiles are huge simply because they ARE! We are getting an inside look at the criminal collusion between Big Tech, the Feds, and the MSM. This is no conspiracy "theory." This is a real conspiracy against free speech and the Constitution, itself. Please join our Locals community: https://thepragmaticconstitutionalist.locals.com

Home for a few days, then off to another destination. (Which I talk about in this podcast.) In the meantime, I've got some things to say about those #TwitterFiles, Trump's response, and the criminals inside the BidenAdmin/DOJ/FBI/MSM/DNC/BigTech cartel who were the real culprits in the unconstitutional 2020 election.

The fates of Stewart Rhodes, Thomas Caldwell, Jessica Watkins, Kelly Meggs, and Ken Harrelson are now in the hands of the jury.

I've painstakingly gone through six weeks of my trial notes to put this synopsis together, focusing primarily on what you have not been seeing or hearing from the mainstream media about the Oath Keepers trial.

Today was the day of the much anticipated appearance from US Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn, testifying for the government against the five Oath Keepers in this trial.

Stephen Horn is one of those independent journalists who has been charged for his work on January 6th and has decided to go to trial and argue against "selective prosecution," in light of the fact the DOJ has charged some indy journalists, and not others. We explore reasons why this is happening, as well as many other aspects of Stephen's activities on J6. Including the fact he may actually be called as a witness in the current Oath Keepers trial, resulting from a very specific video he captured of USCP officer Harry Dunn's interaction with some of the defendants in this trial.

Chaos broke loose in the Oath Keepers trial on Monday morning with the announcement Stewart Rhodes had tested positive with COVID, and . . . defense attorney Stanley Woodward had been involved in an accident that same morning . . . leading to a disastrous momentum shift back to the prosecution during Tuesday's cross examination of an FBI witness who they'd previously had on the ropes at the end of the day on Friday. All that and more in this update.

In this podcast I share a little bit more about my experiences while sitting in the media room every day with the MSM journalists. (CNN, CBS, NBC, NPR, Reuters, Politico, and the like), but I do share some about what's been happening in the trial over the last three days, as well. A couple of good days, but . . . well . . . today was tough. If I'm not going to act like those other guys in the MSM, I have to tell the full story.

Jennifer runs the podcast for J6 defendant and Oath Keeper Jeremy Brown, (a former Green Beret who the FBI tried to recruit as a 'confidential human source' in their investigation of the Oath Keepers), and we decided to share a joint discussion on our respective platforms. In this conversation we go over my daily coverage of the Oath Keepers trial, specifically talk about the cases of both Jeremy Brown, (not in this trial), and that of Ken Harrelson who is one of the defendants in the current Seditious Conspiracy trial now taking place. Jennifer asks great questions leading to my overall impression of how this trial is going, the problem of defending against a 'conspiracy' charge, (a 'thought crime'), which leads us to talking about George Orwell and many other aspects about what is taking place in our federal Department of Justice. We cover a lot of other territory as well, including Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter. This podcast serves as my 'Day 7' review of the trial, and much more, including aspects of what happened on January 6 that most people have never heard about. Well worth your time!
