Chief DOJ Thug, Merrick “the Commie” Garland, is dispatching his goons at the FBI to make “arrests” of approximately 10,000 MAGA advocates before the 2024 Election. The Object of these arrests is that one or more of these arrests will result in a WACO-type confrontation that can be utilized to sway voters to neglect the massive voter fraud that is being prepared by the mob syndicate that masquerades as the Democratic Party and the Biden Administration run by the Boss of Bosses Barack Hussein Obama from his Kalorama Mansion in the District of Corruption. Garland and his woke, commie “wise guys” at the DOJ are submitting charges at the quickest rate in 3 years, pressing the expected amount to 10,000 or more arrests. The charges, entirely produced, are generally for trespassing on federal home or any other number of counterfeit charges these criminals can fabricate.

In the last months of 2023 and the beginning of 2024, the rate at which the FBI nabbed suspects and started new criminal procedures connected to the occasions of January 6th accelerated to a point where the federal courts in the District of Columbia ran the risk of becoming overwhelmed.

Over the past sixty days, police has actually captured and charged ninety-three individuals, according to files launched by the Department of Justice.

At the current rate, some 445 brand-new cases might hit the docket in 2024– more than in 2022 and 2023, according to one price quote.

In overall, approximately March 6, a minimum of 1,358 people have been jailed by the FBI and criminally charged by the Department of Justice (DOJ) for criminal offenses related to Jan. 6.

If the existing pattern is to hold, overall arrests could be 2,150 by the time the statute of restrictions on Jan. 6 criminal offenses ends in early 2026, according to Jacob Rugh, associate professor of sociology at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Mr. Rugh and scientist Isabella Felin have been publishing Jan. 6 stats and information visualization on X and Instagram because August 2022.
William Shipley, a previous federal district attorney who has actually represented more than 50 Jan. 6 defendants, stated he observed an upswing in cases beginning in September 2023.

During a panel discussion on February 23 at the Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, Maryland, Mr. Shipley expressed that in the last two to three months, there has actually been a noticeable increase in the variety of occurrences, varying from six to ten per week. He pointed out that every day he observes two or three extra incidents. Mr. Shipley shared his individual belief that this trend belongs to a political technique, speculating that the Department of Justice and the Biden administration are intentionally keeping this problem in the spotlight to serve their campaign goals.

In between January 2023 and August 2023, there was a noteworthy hiatus in both arrests and prosecutions, credited to the substantial burden that the occasions of January 6 had placed on the federal courts in Washington, D.C., as mentioned by Mr. Shipley.

Mr. Shipley discussed that there is a five-year time limit for taking legal action, so not everyone requires to be jailed and prosecuted right now. He mentioned that there was a break in the arrests throughout a particular amount of time.

The top arrest states include Florida (129 ), Texas (104 ), Pennsylvania (93 ), California (90 ), New York (80 ), Ohio (71 ), and Virginia (67 ). Together they comprise almost 50 percent of all Jan. 6 accuseds, according to research by Mr. Rugh.

About 63 percent of Jan. 6 criminal cases have been adjudicated and accused sentenced, according to DOJ figures. About 58 percent of offenders were given prison or jail time, 19 percent got home detention, and another 3.5 percent got a combination.

Of the 769 defendants who pleaded guilty to charges, 69 percent were for misdemeanors and 31 percent for felonies, the DOJ reports.

A total of 1,276 individuals were accused of unlawfully going into or remaining within a limited location, while 486 were charged with assaulting, resisting, or obstructing law enforcement officers.

Over 350 individuals have actually been charged with the questionable offense of corrupt influencing, or impeding an official case. The Supreme Court is set up to hold oral arguments on April 16 to attend to a difficulty regarding the Department of Justice’s use of business scams laws from 2002 to prosecute Jan. 6 offenders for their role in disrupting the Electoral College vote count. An astonishing figure originating from the E. Barrett Prettyman U.S. Courthouse in Washington, D.C., shows that every Jan. 6 accused who selected a jury trial has been convicted of some charges, resulting in a perfect 100% conviction rate for federal district attorneys. This fact has actually been highlighted in various change-of-venue demands, all of which have actually been denied.

Mr. Shipley told The Epoch Times that the DOJ’s historical conviction rate in the District of Columbia has to do with 65 percent, lower than the 90 percent that is “more normal” in other federal court districts.He stated, “The method the question needs to be framed today and put before the judges once again is, ‘How lots of trials and how high a conviction rate is needed before the judges begin to consider perhaps it’s not the proof however the jurors?'”

District of Columbia jurors seated on Jan. 6 cases “are just not open to listening to descriptions from offenders who affirm, or accept any of the ‘development’ versus the evidence made by defense counsel in cross-examination,” Mr. Shipley stated.

The DOJ has mentioned considering that Jan. 6 that finding, apprehending, and prosecuting those who were at the U.S. Capitol is a leading priority, carried out at “unmatched speed and scale.” The FBI released the biggest investigation in its history in reaction to Jan. 6.

Matthew Graves, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, paints Jan. 6 in the significant tones of warfare as he pledges district attorneys will continue their work unabated into 2024 and beyond.

“On January 6, 2024, Graves explained a chaotic circumstance where officers battled physically with the intruders, who were armed with firearms, chemical sprays, tasers, knives, and improvised weapons, both outside and inside the Capitol structure, looking like a middle ages conflict.”

January 6th was probably the biggest attack on police officers in a single day in the history of our nation, according to Mr. Graves.

The remarks made by Mr. Shipley suggest that the fast succession of arrests adds to the understanding that backers of ex-President Donald Trump pose a danger to the community.

“They wish to continue to have that argument that some portion of the political opposition is actually a criminal aspect,” he stated. “They use the branding of all these J6 offenders to state, ‘See that sliver of the MAGA movement, they’re insurrectionists, they’re foes of democracy.'”

The prosecution posture was set early on.
Prosecution Machine
Not even three weeks after the Jan. 6 incursion, the DOJ named senior prosecutors to pursue the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, and other declared “white nationalist” groups, according to internal documents gotten by Judicial Watch.
A document dated Jan. 25, 2021, named assistant U.S. lawyers to investigate and prosecute white nationalists and militias, the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. Elmer Stewart Rhodes III, creator of the Oath Keepers who in 2023 was sentenced to 18 years in prison for seditious conspiracy and other charges, was named as an early target in a DOJ list acquired by Judicial Watch.

Mr. Rhodes was contributed to the target list on Jan. 11, 2021, and his case designated to FBI unique representative Michael Palian, who affirmed versus Mr. Rhodes and other accused in the very first Oath Keepers trial in 2022. Mr. Rhodes was not prosecuted and arrested up until Jan. 13, 2022.”I’m not at all shocked that I was added to the target list on Jan. 11, 2021, long before there might have been any real substantive examination into me,” Mr. Rhodes informed The Epoch Times in an email. “Goes to reveal that ‘show me the man, I’ll show you the criminal offense’ was exactly their M.O.”

Mr. Rhodes pointed out that the media developed the atmosphere for stressing the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys.

The attention on the Oath Keepers was at first sparked by the media, who rapidly zeroed in on the group’s unique formation as they ascended the Capitol steps, sensationalizing it as a “military stack formation” and indicating that they were at the leading edge of the Trump advocates’ entrance. According to Mr. Rhodes, this characterization was perpetuated by the media in the immediate after-effects of the event.

” Utterly misinforming. Mr. Rhodes noted that Oath Keepers and Proud Boys were currently the two groups that left-leaning media outlets delighted in criticizing and highlighting, so it was no shock when they ended up being the primary focus of news protection on January 6th, perpetuating the false story that these two groups played a central function on the occasions that unfolded or supervised.”
Quick Prosecution Squad
The Department of Justice’s proposed strategy consists of the creation of a branch dedicated to addressing “Priority Incidents and Subjects,” such as the January 6 pipe bombs, the shooting of Ashli Babbitt, the death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, accusations of extreme force by policeman, and attacks on federal officers by rioters. A different branch will concentrate on accelerating examinations and prosecutions of individuals associated with the January 6 occasions. Furthermore, a branch will be developed for “Advanced Litigation Support,” which will handle large-scale information collection, discovery for offenders, and innovation support to effectively process and analyze the large amount of data.

Judicial Watch acquired the strategy as part of a 2021 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit versus the DOJ.
” These documents information an uncomfortable and extraordinary implementation of federal resources to prosecute Americans caught up in the January 6 disturbance,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton stated in a statement. “The files appear to describe an enormous political and spy operation masquerading as a police operation.”

Treniss Evans, who was previously an accused in the January 6 case and is the creator of the legal advocacy company Condemned USA, mentioned that the prosecution is clearly targeting President Trump with their actions.

These individuals are sick and only focus on this to serve the objectives of taking down President Trump and striking worry into the hearts of supporters to silence our voices,” Mr. Evans informed The Epoch Times in a statement. “I will not be intimidated by a bunch of hooligans in fits and bathrobes and their chains will be heavy when justice is served.

The Justice Department, led by Attorney General Merrick Garland and U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves, has actually been implicated of exploiting its power for political gain, specifically against conservatives. Critics point to the aggressive pursuit of legal action versus people and groups associated with the January 6th community as proof of this supposed partisan bias.

‘Profoundly Disturbing’
Defense lawyer Brad Geyer stated the case stats are “profoundly disturbing.”
“It seems the government is foolishly doubling down on its diversion of Department of Justice resources far from historic enforcement locations like border security, human trafficking, corruption, and fraud in procurement, grants, healthcare, huge pharma, research study and science,” Mr. Geyer told The Epoch Times in a declaration.

“A years ago, zealous enforcement in these locations was considered to be highly correlated to ongoing American prosperity,” he stated, “while today, the Department of Justice ramps up interstate roundups of parading grannies that participated in a First-Amendment-protected presentation that went awry.”

Previous FBI special agent Steve Friend stated the arrest projections remain in line with longstanding FBI strategies.

“These numbers are consistent with what my supervisors told me when I made secured whistleblower disclosures about the FBI’s departures from investigative procedures for January 6th cases,” Mr. Friend told The Epoch Times. “In August 2022, FBI Jacksonville management informed me that the bureau meant to arrest at least 1,000 more individuals who never ever got in the Capitol.”

Mr. Friend reiterated issues he lodged with Congress that caused his suspension in 2022.
“The operation is a massive deception to boost the FBI’s domestic terrorism case and arrest stats,” he said. “There are senior executive service staff members within the FBI who have filched annual bonus offers in the area of $50,000 every due to the fact that the FBI has controlled these figures.”

Trouble on the Horizon
The Supreme Court’s announcement on December 13, 2023, that it would think about Joseph W. Fischer’s appeal against making use of 18 U.S. Code § 1512(c)( 2) to prosecute people associated with the January 6th events, was a substantial development. The case has the potential to affect the fate of 350 accuseds and might result in a landmark decision. The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on April 16th, with a judgment expected by the end of June.

The progress has currently resulted in sentencing being held off and some individuals convicted in connection with the events of January 6 being launched from prison.

On Jan. 10, U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta purchased the release of Thomas B. Adams Jr., who was serving a 14-month sentence for obstructing an official proceeding, and getting in and remaining in a limited structure or premises. Judge Mehta said that without the obstruction felony conviction, Mr. Adams’ sentence would have remained in the variety of two to 8 months.

Judge John Bates issued a comparable judgment on Jan. 11, buying Alexander Sheppard be launched from prison on May 2, after he has served 6 months behind bars. Mr. Sheppard was sentenced in September 2023 to 19 months in prison on four misdemeanor counts and a single felony charge: blockage of an official case.

Guy Wesley Reffitt, the first Jan. 6 accused to go on trial, in March 2022, filed a movement recently, on March 2, seeking release from federal jail based on a recent contemporaneous judgment from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

A trio of judges on the Court of Appeals decided that increasing penalties for blocking the “administration of justice” might not be utilized to the counting of Electoral College votes during a joint session of Congress.

Mr. Reffitt has sent a motion declaring that his sentence of 87 months in prison is out of proportion to the 30-37 month sentence he would have received under the sentencing standards without the administration of justice enhancement. Given that he has actually already been in custody for almost 38 months, Mr. Reffitt is seeking a more lax sentence. In response to his movement, District Judge Dabney Friedrich has given the DOJ a due date of March 7 to supply their input on the matter.

Under U.S. Sentencing Commission guideline Sec. 2J1.2, judges can enhance jail time for disrupting the administration of justice or significant interference with the administration of justice.

The Court of Appeals ruled on March 1 that the sentencing enhancement for Larry Rendell Brock for interference with the administration of justice need to not have been used as it related to Congress’ counting of Electoral College votes. Mr. Brock is serving a prison term for his conviction on 6 Jan. 6 counts, consisting of corrupt obstruction of an official case.
The Court of Appeals promoted Mr. Brock’s conviction, however remanded the case back to the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., for resentencing on the blockage charge.

The appeals court judgment could impact 100 Jan. 6 accuseds who had the enhancement applied to their sentences. According to Mr. Shipley, it could cut the sentences for many accuseds by half or more.
