more Jan 6 rioters in trouble

VitaMan's Avatar
The FBI arrested a Jan. 6 insurrectionist after he admitted to participating in the attack to his Uber driver. The interaction was caught on video through the driver’s dashcam which was turned over to police, reported NBC News. The rider, Jerry Daniel Braun, was arrested in California and is facing federal charges.

Braun caught an Uber the evening of the riot Jan 6, 2021 an hour after the mayor’s imposed curfew. The Uber driver had a camera mounted in his car which caught a recording of their conversation about the insurrection.

“So, has it been violent all day?” the driver asked.
“Well, it started around, right when I got there. I tore down the barricades,” the man replied.
“You did?” the driver asked. “Why?”
“Well, because, so we could get to the Capitol,” the man replied.

Braun has since confessed to being a part of the insurrection. He told the FBI agents serving a search warrant for his home that he was “guilty of everything.”


Currently, 800 people have been charged in connection to the riot and 250 have pleaded guilty, including a leader of the Proud Boys.

January 6 committee is considering rewriting the 1807 Insurrection Act that lets President deploy military to respond to a rebellion after the Capitol Riot


https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ction-Act.html


Committee members says the act warrants a review.

Grammar and spelling suffer to get the scoop out.

'There are many of us who are of the view that the Insurrection Act, which the former president threatened to invoke multiple times throughout 2020, bears a review,' said Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren of California, a member of the January 6th committee, told the Times.

Additionally, in June 2020, aides drafted an order to invoke the Insurrection Act in case Dump wanted to deploy active-duty troops in Washington D.C. to quell the protests that followed the killing of George Floyd, the black man in Minnesota murdered by a white police officer.

Dump (sic)as infuriated by the demonstrations, a huge one which was taking place in Lafayette Square across from the White House.

He told Barr, Esper, and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley that he wanted thousands of active-duty troops on the streets of the nation's capital.

... President Trump also wanted the National Guard at the Capitol
on 6th Jan to help with crowd control - but Nancy Pelosi
wouldn't allow it.

YOU surely must have missed that while YOU were on holiday.
Oh - and the laptop IS really Hunter's - in case you missed THAT also.

The president can authorize the Secretary of Defense or Secretary of the Army to activate the guard; that was Christopher Miller (acting) and Ryan McCarthy.

Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's implication that the Speaker of the House had any power over the activation of the D.C. National Guard is not rooted in fact. Simply put, she does not hold the power to activate them.


The District of Columbia's lack of statehood meant that Mayor Muriel Bowser needed to request that the federal government activate the National Guard to assist Capitol Police and D.C. Police in protecting the U.S. Capitol from rioters. A National Guard press release says Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller activated troops.

That afternoon, the D.C. Council said in a statement on Twitter that the mayor's request to activate the National Guard had been denied by the Department of Defense.

It took hours for Department of Defense officials to deploy the National Guard, and even longer for the 1,000+ troops to arrive.





In the days ahead of January 6th, the U.S. Capitol Police said they would not be requesting extra assistance from the National Guard. But, there's no evidence that any elected officials had a say in the Capitol Police decision.

I doubt it. In fact, I don't remember any classes on what words mean. Instructions, yes. Orders, yes. Protocol, yes. But the meaning of insurrection?

LOL! I think you've mistaken this for the ESL classes yinz took donton.

Actually, it is, and didn’t happen in a classroom. Here’s a hint, it’s not a bunch of people walking between velvet ropes taking selfies.

Right. And if that was what happened, it wouldn't be correctly named an insurrection.

Only liars or ignorant fucks forget barricades were meant to keep the psychos away.
.... Ray Epps didn't forget - HE helped move them.

if in fact Ray Epps was an FBI operative then he knowingly helped instigate a riot. and if he was an FBI operative, that's why he was there.

the FBI is not the CIA (well they are the internal CIA and they act like it) they aren't supposed to be doing covert ops, as a primary role. they are supposed to stop crime not instigate it.

small mind, small poster.
