Jan 6 "an intelligence failure"

Former Police Chief testifies that Nancy Pelosi lied about speaking to him prior to Jan 6 protest.

Steven Sund is the former Chief of Police for the United States Capitol Police. He served as the 10th chief from June 2019 until he resigned in the aftermath of the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack.

Proud Boys Jan 6 Convictions dismissed

Federal judge dismisses Proud Boys Jan. 6 convictions after DOJ moves to end cases permanently

A federal judge on Friday wiped away the remaining convictions of four Proud Boys members who faced some of the longest sentences handed down in connection with the January 6, 2021, Capitol breach, granting a Justice Department motion to dismiss the cases with prejudice (permanently thrown out by the court) thus permanently closing the door on prosecution.

U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly approved the dismissal for Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl, and Dominic Pezzola, all convicted in 2023 on multiple felony charges.

Three of the four, Nordean, Biggs, and Rehl, had been found guilty of seditious conspiracy, a charge that carried enormous political weight during the Biden administration's sprawling Jan. 6 prosecution campaign.

The ruling marks the final legal chapter for the Proud Boys defendants. Their sentences had already been commuted by President Trump. The U.S. Court of Appeals had previously vacated the convictions. And in April, the DOJ filed a motion asking the trial court to formally dismiss the indictment.

Judge Kelly granted that motion Friday, but not without making clear he wasn't endorsing the outcome, only recognizing the constitutional boundaries of his own authority.

January 6th: 1,000+ Hours of Secret January 6 Bodycam Video Released

Newly Released Jan. 6 Bodycam Shows Claim That 350 FBI Agents Were Ready to Deploy

New Jan. 6 Footage Finally Sees Daylight

Judicial Watch announced Monday that the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police Department released more than 1,000 hours of body-worn camera footage from January 6, 2021, spread across 1,630 videos.

The release came after a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed in June 2024, which is another reminder that when the government says “transparency,” it often means “check back after we drag this through court.” The footage is now drawing fresh attention because one clip appears to include police radio traffic discussing a large FBI presence near the Capitol that day.

The Line That Has People Rewinding The Tape--

January 6 defendant and investigative journalist Tommy Tatum flagged a bodycam clip identified in the source material as X6039BF3H, with the key audio reportedly starting around the 12:30 mark and occurring around 5:14 p.m.

In the clip, an officer appears to say something along the lines of, “Do you have 350 FBI agents there right at this moment?” or “You got 350 FBI agents there ready to deploy.”

The background noise makes the full exchange hard to hear, so caution is fair, but the number is what has people paying attention. If police on the ground were discussing hundreds of FBI personnel being ready to deploy, that raises obvious questions about who was there, what roles they had, and why the public had to wait years to hear this audio.

"Shut up" says Nancy

Pelosi Told a Female Reporter to Shut Up

Anderson Cooper went on CNN to defend Kaitlan Collins from Donald Trump

Then Nancy Pelosi told a female reporter to shut up twice – on camera – and Cooper found something else to do. LindellTV reporter Alison Steinberg walked up to Nancy Pelosi on Capitol Hill Thursday and asked her why she turned the National Guard away on January 6, 2021. Pelosi cut her off before she finished the sentence.

"I'll tell you to shut up again because you're speaking lies," Pelosi snapped.

Steinberg pressed forward, showing Pelosi footage from their first confrontation – the October 2025 exchange where Pelosi had screamed "shut up" at her the first time.

The left's silence on Pelosi isn't about inconsistency. It's about what Pelosi is being asked.

Because if the National Guard question gets a real answer – one that isn't screaming – then Democrats lose the January 6 narrative they've spent five years and tens of millions of dollars building.

Oath Keepers and Proud Boys -- permanent dismissal of their indictments before Appellate court

Justice Department asks appeals court to erase seditious conspiracy convictions of Oath Keepers and Proud Boys leaders

The Justice Department on April 14 asked a federal appeals court to vacate the seditious conspiracy convictions of top Oath Keepers and Proud Boys leaders, a move that would wipe some of the most consequential January 6 criminal verdicts from the books and bar prosecutors from ever refiling the same charges.

Prosecutors filed unopposed motions with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit seeking to throw out the convictions and send the cases back to the trial court for dismissal with prejudice.

That legal term means the government could never bring those specific charges again against the same defendants. The filings cover a roster of high-profile January 6 figures, including Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, Kelly Meggs, Jessica Watkins, and Proud Boys members Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl, and Dominic Pezzola.

The step goes well beyond the commutations and pardons President Trump issued to January 6 defendants in January 2025. Commutations shortened sentences but left the underlying convictions intact. Pardons forgave the offenses but did not necessarily erase the court record.

What the DOJ now seeks is a full vacatur of the jury verdicts themselves, followed by permanent dismissal of the indictments.

Honoring Capitol Police

Pelosi’s Rant at the Capitol Ceremony

Speaker Nancy Pelosi used a plaque unveiling for Capitol police to deliver a lengthy attack on President Donald Trump and the events of January 6. Her remarks sounded emotional and at times disjointed, as she described fear for staff safety and repeated the claim that an insurrection was incited by the president.

The moment was meant to honor officers but turned into a political speech that left many asking why a solemn memorial became a stage for more accusations.

What She Said Versus What Records Show:

Pelosi said the president incited an insurrection, a claim frequently repeated by Democrats. But legal records show President Donald Trump was never charged with insurrection.

Public officials and reporters have pointed out a gap between political statements and court outcomes. That gap matters because words shape public memory of January 6 and because accuracy should matter when honoring people who put themselves at risk.

Warnings and Security Choices Before January 6:

Reporting and testimony since January 6 show that Pelosi and other officials received warnings about potential breaches the night before the riot. Some of Pelosi’s top security aides reportedly raised alarms. Critics say those warnings created a window to call in the National Guard and beef up protections.

Supporters of Pelosi argue the situation was chaotic and decisions were complex. The dispute over what was known and who acted on it remains central to the debate.

Honoring Capitol police is appropriate and overdue. At the same time, turning that moment into a political accusation without clear legal backing risks deepening national division. Can it get any deeper?

Trump honors January 6 victims

White House Honors Jan 6 Victims and Pardoned Patriots

What the White House posted:

On January 6, 2026 the White House published a tribute that listed Americans who died on January 6, 2021 or who later died after prosecutions tied to that day.

The post emphasized that President Trump issued broad pardons and commutations for many people charged for being at the Capitol. The administration framed the move as correcting decades of political weaponization and as a step to restore fairness to those they called peaceful protesters or overcharged defendants.

Who was honored in the tribute:

The tribute included four people who died on January 6 and other Americans who later lost their lives, some of them by suicide, after facing prosecutions.

The White House highlighted that these were citizens who were targeted and punished harshly, and it used their names and photos to argue the legal system had been used as a political tool after the 2020 election. The piece made a point that some families suffered financial ruin and social stigma while their loved ones were treated like criminals.

The administration’s narrative placed heavy blame on Democratic leaders, especially former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, for security failures and for turning January 6 into a multi year political weapon.

On January 20, 2025, during the first day of his second term, United States president Donald Trump granted blanket clemency to all people, nearly 1,600, convicted of or awaiting trial or sentencing for offenses related to the January 6 United States Capitol attack that occurred near the end of his first presidential term. Most of them received full pardons, while the sentences of 14 members of the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys were commuted. [Wikipedia]

GOP Rep. Dan Newhouse who voted to Impeach Trump, accounced retirement

GOP Rep. Dan Newhouse Who Voted to Impeach Trump Announces Retirement

Republican Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington, one of the few GOP lawmakers who voted to impeach President Donald Trump, announced he will retire from Congress and not seek reelection in 2026.

Newhouse cited more than 25 years in public service.

That includes over a decade serving in the U.S. House of Representatives. His departure leaves only one remaining House Republican who supported Trump’s impeachment, underscoring the lasting political consequences of that historic vote.

Newhouse was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach President Trump in 2021 and joins the ranks of these RINOS although he himself was not on the Jan 6 Select Committee:

The group included Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Peter Meijer, Tom Rice, Fred Upton, John Katko, Jaime Herrera-Beutler, and Anthony Gonzalez.

From Conviction to Clemency: A Legal Journey

Judge Boasberg shifts stance on pardoned Jan. 6 defendants

A surprising turn in the legal saga of two Jan. 6 defendants has unfolded in a D.C. courtroom, raising questions about justice and the power of presidential pardons.

According to Fox News, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg on Wednesday ordered full refunds of restitution payments and fines for Cynthia Ballenger and Christopher Price, two defendants pardoned by President Donald Trump earlier this year.

This ruling flips a decision made just months ago by the same judge, who had initially denied their request for repayment. It’s a notable shift, reflecting new legal ground after Trump’s sweeping clemency for roughly 1,500 individuals tied to the 2021 Capitol events.

Ballenger and Price faced misdemeanor convictions for their roles on Jan. 6, 2021, with each ordered to pay $570 in restitution and fees. Their cases were under appeal in the D.C. Circuit when Trump’s pardon arrived, altering the trajectory of their legal fight.

Boasberg’s order clarifies that a vacated conviction carries different weight than a standalone pardon.

BBC exposed for its Bias in editing Trump's speech

BBC caught in serious lie about President Trump

Spliced and diced footage to make him say what editors wanted

Michael Prescott, was an independent adviser to the BBC for years, and sent a dossier to its board last month, the report said.

The documentation accused the BBC, which is paid for by taxpayers in the U.K., of having a widespread bias against Trump, on the Gaza war and on the transgender debate.

"Prescott explained how the BBC – often described as the world's 'most trusted' broadcaster – 'completely misled' viewers during an episode of the program Panorama which aired a week before the election by showing the president telling supporters he was going to walk to the Capitol with them to 'fight like hell.'"

The analysis revealed that Trump actually said he would walk with them "to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."

He ended up not being allowed by Secret Service to walk with the crowd.

The network created Trump saying things he "never actually said" by editing and splicing footage of his speech, the report said.

Nancy thinks we're all stupid

'SHUT UP!' Enraged Nancy Pelosi goes ballistic when asked why she refused to call in National Guard on Jan. 6

'Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as if you are a serious journalist?' LOL

U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., went ballistic on a reporter Wednesday when she was confronted about her role in the Capitol mayhem of Jan. 6, 2021, and why she did not have the National Guard present to quell violence.

Outside the Capitol, the former speaker of the House was asked by Alison Steinberg of Lindell TV: "Congresswoman Pelosi, are you at all concerned that the January 6th Committee will find you liable for that?

"Are at all concerned about the January 6th Committee finding you liable for that day? "Why did you refuse the National Guard on January 6th?"

Pelosi, who was obviously disturbed by the questions, snapped at Steinberg.

"SHUT UP!" Pelosi screamed as she pointed her finger at the correspondent. "I did not refuse the National Guard. The president didn't send it. Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as if you're a serious journalist?"

Pipe bombs at Capitol on January 6 just a fake distraction?

Kash Patel released one pipe bomb document that has investigators questioning the entire January 6 story

FBI lab analysis raises serious questions about bomb timeline

FBI Director Kash Patel transmitted explosive new documents to Congress that completely undermine the official January 6 pipe bomb narrative.

The lab reports obtained by Just the News show both bombs – one planted at the Democrat National Committee and another at the Republican National Committee – were filled with black powder components and equipped with 60-minute kitchen timers.

Here’s the kicker: the FBI lab report never once uses the word "viable" to describe either device. Both bombs were supposedly planted around 8:16 PM on January 5th according to security footage, but they were discovered roughly 16 hours later and never exploded.

"When properly assembled and initiated, an IED of this sort can cause property damage, bodily injury, or death," the lab report stated. But the report offered no clear explanation for why devices with 60-minute timers lasted 16 hours without detonating.

The math simply doesn’t add up. The newly released memos reveal just how incompetent – or deliberately negligent – Chris Wray’s FBI investigation really was. A whistleblower previously told Congress that the FBI waited more than a year to request field offices canvas informants for information about the pipe bombs.

More than a year.

FBI presence on January 6

FBI had 275 plainclothes agents embedded in Jan. 6 crowds, congressional source says

The FBI has acknowledged it had 275 plainclothes agents in the massive crowds on Jan. 6, 2021, more than four and a half years after questions were first raised about the level of FBI involvement that day, Blaze News has learned.

A senior congressional source said the number is not necessarily a surprise, since the FBI often embeds countersurveillance personnel at large events.

But given the FBI’s until-now steadfast refusal to disclose the level of its presence at the Capitol, the figure might still be viewed with skepticism in some quarters.

The news comes in the wake of claims by the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Inspector General that the FBI had no undercover personnel in the Jan. 6 crowds.

“We found no evidence in the materials we reviewed or the testimony we received showing or suggesting that the FBI had undercover employees in the various protest crowds, or at the Capitol, on January 6,” the DOJ OIG said in an 88-page report released in December 2024.

Depending how one reads “undercover” agents versus “plainclothes agents,” both statements could be true.

The same report disclosed that 26 FBI confidential human sources were in the Jan. 6 crowds, four of whom entered the Capitol. Undercover Metropolitan Police Department officers have acknowledged inciting the crowds by helping protesters climb over barriers, encouraging them to continue on to the Capitol, and applauding those committing vandalism.

FBI agent rehired after taking a stand on FBI overreach under Comey

FBI Rehires Jan. 6 Whistleblower Stephen Friend, Awards Backpay

Other FBI whistleblowers also reach settlements

In 2022, Friend made headlines after he refused to take part in a planned FBI SWAT raid in Florida on a nonviolent January 6 suspect. He stated that the surprise, armed raids being conducted on people who had at most committed misdemeanor trespassing were dangerous, unwarranted, and politically motivated.

He subsequently lost his job.

Since President Trump was elected to a second term, whistleblower advocates have been working to help him and other FBI agents claiming retaliation to get back their jobs or reach suitable settlements.

The turn of events for Friend was announced along with a host of other whistleblower settlements.

Some, like Friend, fought what they saw as FBI overreach involving the January 6 investigations. Three are being reinstated to duty while others who are still employed are being allowed voluntary retirement.

Biden turned a protest into a Seditious Conspiracy charge

Conservative Investigative Journalist Julie Kelly has a Plan

Kelly proposes turning Biden’s own legal weapons against him

"Conservative investigative journalist Julie Kelly delivered a stunning analysis during her appearance on "The Benny Show" that could reshape how Americans think about accountability for the weaponization of government.

Kelly revealed she’s developing a comprehensive legal framework showing how President Trump’s Justice Department could pursue seditious conspiracy charges against Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

Kelly pointed out that seditious conspiracy historically targeted serious threats like foreign terrorists. She noted this statute was used against perpetrators of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing – actual terrorists who killed Americans.

But Biden’s Justice Department transformed this serious charge into a political weapon for January 6 protesters. Biden’s prosecutors convinced juries to convict January 6th defendants on seditious conspiracy charges even when those defendants "were not even in Washington, D.C., some of whom didn’t even go inside the Capitol."

If walking through an open door with police present constitutes seditious conspiracy, what does coordinating multiple federal agencies against a political opponent represent?"

Proud Boys Sue DOJ

Proud Boys Leaders Sue DOJ for $100M Over Their Jan 6 Prosecution

Five leaders of the Proud Boys are suing the Department of Justice after the Biden administration found them guilty of engaging in a seditious conspiracy related to the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the US Capitol.

The lawsuit, filed by Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola, seeks $100 million, and claims that federal authorities violated the Constitution in an effort "to punish and oppress political allies of President Donald Trump, by any and all means necessary, legal, or illegal," WaPo reports.

Leftist academics (at least one) are freaking out over the suit, suggesting that it would vindicate Jan. 6 rioters in the court of public opinion.

"It would say to the country that these Proud Boys who were convicted in a court of law, in a fair trial, were wrongfully prosecuted and victims. It just turns the entire day on its head."

Or, asshole, it would prove that the Biden administration weaponized the DOJ like everyone with a functional brain witnessed.

Rentless Liberal Pursuit

Check Out Liberal DA’s Desperate Plot to Undermine Trump

"In a move that reeks of political gamesmanship, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, backed by liberal billionaire George Soros, is pushing forward with efforts to try and charge individuals linked to the January 6th events.

These individuals were previously pardoned by President Donald Trump in a sweeping act of justice on his return to the White House. Krasner, a progressive Democrat known for his leftist leanings, is now attempting to maneuver around this presidential pardon by seeking state-level charges in Pennsylvania.

Despite Trump’s lawful exercise of his presidential powers, Krasner’s determination to chase down these defendants underscores the relentless pursuit by some within the Democratic Party to undermine Trump’s presidency and his actions.

Krasner’s endeavor is already laden with substantial legal obstacles. Fundamental principles like double jeopardy, which protect against being tried for the same crime twice, stand in his way. However, Krasner appears undeterred. As he told CNN reporter Marshall Cohen, “you can have a state prosecution for conduct that was not fully encompassed in the federal prosecution.”

Such a statement illustrates the far reach to which some will go to continue the pursuit of punitive measures against Trump supporters, even when federal avenues have been thoroughly exhausted and justice duly served through pardon."
