Capitol Insurrection / rebellion thread

The US could definitely use some Marshal Law right now.

We're gonna need a Marshal Law off.

We've got another glowie!

Proud Boy Louis Enrique Colon of Missouri admitted to obstructing police officers during the riot and faces up to 5 years in prison and a $250K fine. He'll likely receive much less time, and a lower fine if any, as he's cooperating with federal investigators.

These "western chauvinist" gangs really seem to like to snitch on each other to save their own asses.

Another "seditious conspiracy" guilty plea, this time from Oath Keeper Brian Ulrich.

According to the plea agreement, Ulrich, 44, will cooperate with the Justice Department in its historic prosecution against the far-right extremist organization. He could face more than six years in prison, according to the deal read aloud during Wednesday's hearing, but prosecutors may ask for a lower sentence depending on Ulrich's level of cooperation.

So facing upwards of 6 years in prison, he's choosing to become a glowie instead.

Man, Oath Keepers will never need to pay for lighting with how many of their members are glowing.

Well, what's more "western chauvinist" than a "fuck you, I'm getting mine" attitude?

In this case, what they are getting is a reduced sentence. Rat on your "brothers" before your "brothers" rat on you.

It's hilarious to me the right-wing version of gangs results in the same kind of hyper-individualism "Fuck you, I got mine" that we see elsewhere. That's why that shit won't last man, organized crime requires that you protect your own. You can't snitch on your peoples.

The most you can possibly expect from these people would be a twisted form of "enlightened self-interest"... where they can maybe rationalize that "taking one for the team" results in a better personal outcome for them. Like the people that were holding out hope for a pardon from Trump once they "reinstated" him.

This is good - bringing out the big guns still. We still haven't seen a RICO charge or plea yet. I'll be curious to see if we ever do.

It didn't really work in the case of the mafia either. Unless your name is Phil Leotardo.

[cubby]

With all these top people pleading guilty to seditious conspiracy the DoJ really needs to just clap em with it. The entire organization needs to go.

Agreed. I think the conspiracy charges are going to get a lot more people "involved" in the overall prosecution.

IMO, the RICO charges, if we ever do see them, are the path of least resistance to Trump. It's possible that the DoJ is waiting on that path until after the midterm elections.

[cubby]

Gotta figure it’ll happen with a nationwide operation to arrest people to be charged if it happens. Gonna be interesting to see what Fox covers that day.

Hilary's emails, of course.

But seriously, yeah, if it happens, it will be the most comprehensive, secret, and organized "round up" in DoJ history.

Colour me unsurprised that people who glorify the works of Ayn Rand et. al roll over on each other at the first opportunity.

And I just had people tell me today on a TikTok live, that all of the investigations into Trump have been dropped. And that they were going to decertify Wisconsin, Arizona, and Georgia, so that Trump would be put back in office.

They said this and a bunch of other bullshit that isn't reality, and I just laughed at them.

Is this the May 5 shit? I've seen a bit of that floating around, I think this is the...15th time that Trump is supposedly "taking back the office and imprisoning all his enemies"? Or "publicly taking it back because he's secretly been running it this whole time just don't ask us to explain why he's doing so many unpopular things that we blame Biden for."

No, they are still saying that January 6th wasn't an insurrection, and that it was Antifa that did it, because the first people in the capitol building were dressed in all black. They literally were pushing things that Antifa did it.

I then told them, that we have the plans for the insurrection from the Oathkeepers, Proud Boys and Republican lawmakers, and they told me I was lying. Which is funny, because they blocked me when I tried to post the sources.

Well I'll be, they are finally subpoenaing their colleagues -

The Jan. 6 panel’s subpoenas for McCarthy, R-Calif., and Republican Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Andy Biggs of Arizona and Mo Brooks of Alabama come as the investigation is winding down and as the panel prepares for a series of public hearings this summer.

Larry Ellison, the billionaire co-founder and chairman of the software company Oracle, participated in a call soon after the 2020 election that focused on strategies for contesting the legitimacy of the vote, according to court documents and a participant.

Hmm? Possibly another billionaire who was with the whole Insurrection thing. Not surprising and honestly when Trump was elected it showed who and what the ultra rich would support for their money.

Whoa!!! Guess I'm not done.

EXCLUSIVE: Michigan’s top election official says she was told President Trump had suggested in a WH meeting that she be arrested for treason and executed after she refused to overturn 2020 presidential election results.

Addblock and can't get to atm. Could definitely be a "who do you trust" and if you trust this person. Honestly idk, yet again can't put it past Trump saying this.

Rudy Guiliani spent 9/11ths (wow...that reads really wrong but bear with me) of a Hillary speaking to the Jan. 6 committee.

This is a reference to Hillary spending 11 hours in front of the Benghazi commission.

I do hope he wasn't leaking ink this time, at least.

Fascism is capitalism in crisis. No surprise these rich chuds are in for it.
