Remember, when a Russian spy was a vip at the inauguration? Here is convicted Russian spy Maria Butina at the inauguration of the criminal, fraud, rapist with Paul Erickson. Now. she is back in Russia working for war criminal Putin.
In South Dakota, Erickson stole one million dollars from investors. Trump pardoned him before leaving office.
#SCOTUS is hearing a challenge today to a federal #law prosecutors used to charge >350 people who attacked the Capitol on #Jan6.
>100 have been convicted & sentenced under the statute for obstructing or impeding an ofcl proceeding—the joint session that convened to confirm Biden’s victory.
The case could impact #Trump’s federal trial in DC for trying to remain in power, 2 charges he faces are based on the same #obstruction statute.
Justices #Alito & #Kavanaugh questioned the #DOJ’s use of the “obstruction of an official proceeding” charge, & whether Congress meant to turn illegal & disruptive protesting, a #misdemeanor punishable by only a year or less in prison, into a #felony that carries a potential 20-yr sentence.

Proud Boys seditious conspiracy defendant Zachary Rehl is now serving his prison sentence at federal correctional facility in Petersburg, Virginia
Through February 2034
Zachary will spend the rest of his 30s, all of his 40s and part of his 50s in prison in the service of Donald Trump’s lies. Used and discarded by Trump. Who is the loser now?
EXCLUSIVE: ABC News has obtained video from Georgia prosecutors' interview with ex-Trump attorney Jenna Ellis, in which Ellis tells them she was personally informed by a top Trump adviser that Trump was "not going to leave" the White House — despite losing the 2020 election.
Note that this conversation allegedly occurred on Dec. 19 — after the safe harbor deadline to resolve intrastate election disputes and certify their results (Dec. 8) and the date that electors had met to cast their votes (Dec. 14). They knew it was over, they just didn’t care.
Mike Flynn, former National Security Advisor and self-admitted liar, resigned after 24 days on the job. The pardon? Barr’s daily busy work
“DOJ has (quietly) used the reality of Sullivan’s carefully crafted opinion to dismiss Barr’s corrupt attempt to reverse the prosecution and Flynn’s fantasies of innocence.
It’s a rare DOJ rebuke of DOJ.”
Where’s the long-lost DOJ OPR report on all this?
"To win this case, Flynn has to show that an FBI agent did mean things to him. But the FBI agent on the case when he was charged was Barnett, not Strzok."
Corrupt Bill Barr reached out to get Powell iot get her onto Flynn's case, and solicited that letter as a mechanism to give him cover to wade in and sabotage the plea/cooperation agreement..
The letter may be asked as part of the federal/D.C. case, since the reason Flynn’s charges were dropped and he was pardoned likely has to do with his post-election activities.
@GottaLaff@stevebenen so an insurrectionist who didn’t protect young boys from sexual assault is going to be second in line to the presidency? The #gop Is insane #seditiousconspiracy
How much of Marjorie Taylor Greene's net worth of $41 milliion is of Russian Kremlin origin?
Has/have there been a thorough investigation(s) by expert tax investigators?
Georgian $41 million space laser blondie MTG, who compared military aid to Putin-attacked Ukraine to "money laundering" should try to honestly explain to the American people wheter or not she laundered Russian/Kremlin mob money as straw-woman (not referring to brains!) buying $15,000 in Lockheed Martin stocks for Russians exactly two days before Putin's aggression hordes invaded free Ukraine.
The start of Putin's war of aggression was also, when loudmouth & new Lockheed-Martin-stock-owner Greene dumb-brazenly trumpeted: "War is big business to our leaders"!
Elon Musk secretly used control of his Starlink network to cripple a Ukrainian military operation while it was under way, in defiance of American foreign policy.
He is an oligarch working against U.S. interests, benefitting his fellow oligarchs in Russia. His biographer seems to think this is just Musk being Musk, quirky and idiosyncratic.

Section 3, 14th Amendment bars persons f. holding federal/state office who took an “oath…to support Constitution of the U.S.” then “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof”
>>New dates were set for the sentencing hearings of former #ProudBoys chairman Enrique Tarrio and his associate Ethan Nordean after the judge presiding over the case fell ill on Wednesday.

Chesebro is the only one of the unindicted #CoConspirators in #Trump’s recent federal #indictment & only member of Trump’s #legal efforts who is now known to have been on the Capitol grounds on #Jan6.
A special episode of #Prosecuting Donald Trump. They speak with guest Judge Luttig- who tells what transpired in real time on January 4-6 with VP Pence and his view on when the Trump trials should occur.
@Teri_Kanefield I think he’ll put his political needs first. As a conviction for #SeditiousConspiracy to incite an #Insurrection would make him ineligible to hold office, he will try to delay the trial by any and all means possible so he can get elected and make it go away. He does not want to go to prison.
Why don’t people ask why in the world does the Senate continue to operate under rules that give each and every US Senator so much unilateral power to fu-k up the entire nation?
