South county has had our first insurrectionist arrested.

Meet Gilroy's Mariposa Castro.

Mariposa owns a local yoga studio & tea lounge has something of a reputation as gadfly/loon.

Friends of friends who know her say that she's never met a right wing conspiracy theory she didn't like.

BREAKING/SCOOP: FBI has arrested 1st Trump appointee in connection with #Capitol Riot. Freddie Klein worked on Trump 2016 campaign then landed a 'special assistant' job at State. 'Fred's politics run a little hot,' his mother said.

"runs a little hot" sure is an understatement.

Mariposa/Imelda seems very nice. You should have some tea and do yoga there. Maybe Lt. Root Beer & the 699th could be persuaded to be there for protection. Are there donuts in the tea house? 8-)

It's still hard to conceive of why they did all this when DL2XIT wasn't even working. He checked out after the race was called, hiding in his bunker. Seriously, what did he accomplish from Nov-Jan? They were fighting for 4 more years of what? Killing another 500,000 people? More golf and cable news watching time for the guy? Maybe like some of the Q-Tips this will wake them up and will be interesting to see at their trials what possibly justified this in their minds. Meanwhile, they are getting dragged and humiliated by their hometown newspapers and facing legal costs to defend their insurrection. Still remarkable to see their angry deluded faces. Orly Taitz should bring a class action lawsuit against DL2XIT, she'd get TONS of press!

Thank you!

This is an incredible document. I've just reviewed Mo Brooks and my own despicable congresstoad, Stefanik, but I already know that this historical record reads like a novel.

Stefanik's tweets and other social media document how she first raised questions about election fraud/irregularities/Democratic abuse, then switched to "voters have questions and I think they deserve answers" mode. Incredible.

Capitol riot shaman's TV interview irks judge
Defense lawyer used attorney privileges to put client on streaming edition of "60 Minutes."
By JOSH GERSTEIN and KYLE CHENEY 03/05/2021 06:27 PM EST

The lawyer for the horned shaman who became one of the most iconic figures involved in the storming of the Capitol in January is in hot water with a federal judge after facilitating an interview that the judge said violated federal rules. At a hearing Friday on the case against QAnon follower Jacob Chansley, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth dressed down Chansley’s attorney Al Watkins for using his privileges as a lawyer to arrange an interview with Chansley for the online edition of “60 Minutes.” “Can you tell me how that came about?” Lamberth asked Watkins. “It seems to me that you visited as a subterfuge.” Lamberth said the Marshals Service policy for federal pretrial prisoners requires numerous clearances for an interview, including the U.S. Attorney’s office, the judge and those running the detention facility. The judge said he was asked by the marshals if he’d approved the interview at the Alexandria Detention Center and he said he had not. Watkins, who is based in St. Louis, denied any effort to mislead. “There’s no subterfuge here, at all. ... I did not under any circumstances try to conduct subterfuge to this court, certainly, and not to the facility where my client is currently housed,” the attorney said. "It's just not my style."

Nevertheless, Watkins appeared to concede that the jail was in the dark about his plans to use a virtual lawyers’ visit to make his client available to the media. “The jail was only told this was an attorney-client interview video. I asked for a Zoom conference with him,” the defense lawyer said. “I didn’t tell them it was for an interview with '60 Minutes.’” “I’m sure you didn’t,” Lamberth shot back. In a sign of his displeasure, following the court hearing, the judge publicly released an email an Alexandria jail spokesperson sent to Watkins’ office last month making clear the various approvals needed. The main topic of Friday’s court session was Chansley’s request to be released from custody as he awaits trial on the various charges he faces, including interfering with police during a civil disorder and obstruction of Congress. Watkins has spent weeks working to portray Chansley as a harmless, well-meaning dupe, taken in by former President Donald Trump’s claims that the election was stolen and acting on the mistaken belief that the commander-in-chief was being truthful. He spent Friday’s hearing comparing Chansley to Forrest Gump, drawing attention to his hobbies as a painter and a potter and asserting that the “spearhead” attached to the pole Chansley wielded inside the Capitol was just decorative.

Chansley underscored those points in his “60 Minutes” interview. “I sang a song. And that’s a part of shamanism,” he said. “It’s about creating positive vibrations in a sacred chamber. I also stopped people from stealing and vandalizing that sacred space, the Senate. OK?” At Friday’s hearing, Watkins asserted that Chansley’s eccentric style — he breached the Capitol shirtless, in a horned headdress, with ample tattoos exposed — underscore that he was not a leader of the violent charge but a happy-go-lucky follower. He committed no violence inside the building and prevented the theft of muffins from a Capitol break room, the defense attorney said. Watkins also argued that video shows Chansley simply sauntered into the Capitol and was, in fact, invited in by the police. “Capitol Police are walking down the steps. There’s no barricade. There are no police lines and the police are saying the building is yours,” the defense lawyer said. “If you see my client’s horns, he’s just strolling up the steps. ... The door my client walked into is actually being held by a Capitol policeman.”

Lamberth seemed incredulous about that claim, saying he’d seen a photo on the front page of The Washington Post showing a Capitol window being smashed just as Chansley moved through a nearby doorway. Watkins also argued that releasing Chansley would be a gesture of goodwill and national reconciliation, ensuring that “people like Jacob Chansley and millions of others who really did adore former President [Donald] Trump are not subject to retribution and ridicule.” “There are too many of them to hold them in disdain. There is compassion and patience that’s going to be required as a great many Americans extricate themselves from a longstanding, propaganda-ridden period of leadership,” the defense attorney said. The government, though, has maintained that Watkins’ lighthearted portrayal of Chansley misconstrues a more sinister side. Chansley, they said, ignored numerous clear warnings to turn away from the Capitol. He loomed over law enforcement while wielding his spear, and he left a threatening note for then-Vice President Mike Pence on the Senate rostrum, they said.

Prosecutor Kimberly Paschall also painted as absurd the idea that Chansley thought it was permissible for him to enter the Capitol amid the riot. “There is absolutely no way he could have thought that police were escorting him into the building when the window was being cracked. ... Alarms were going off,” Paschall said. “There is no reasonable interpretation of events where this man could believe it was OK … that he could continue to walk up those steps.” If released from prison, prosecutors say, there’s no guarantee he won’t recommence violent, anti-government activities. And Paschall said releasing Chansley is too great a risk as long as there are indications people are willing to take violent action to enforce their views that Trump won the election. “While we can all hope that Jan. 6 was a once-in-a-lifetime event, we can’t rely on that,” she said. Lamberth issued no immediate ruling on Chansley’s release request. The judge said he wants to review video footage before he issues a decision.

Here's the interview:




*
“This is one of several such suits filed by Ms. Taitz in her quixotic attempt to prove that President Obama is not a natural born citizen as required by [the] Constitution,” Lamberth wrote in a decision published on April 14. “This Court is not willing to go tilting at windmills with her.”
https://legaltimes.typepad.com/blt/2010 ... taitz.html

Lamberth also had these lovely words about Orly's Assault on the Capitol:
Judge Slams Birther for Either Mockery or Stupidity
July 28, 2011 RYAN ABBOTT

WASHINGTON (CN) – Orly Taitz “is either toying with the court or displaying her own stupidity,” a federal judge wrote, slamming the so-called Queen of the Birthers for repeatedly violating the rules of civil procedure by incorrectly redacting President Barack Obama’s Social Security number, which she claims he is using illegally. Taitz filed a Freedom of Information Act complaint against the Social Security Administration in February. In that filing and several others, she listed the number in its entirety. After the court instructed Taitz to redact all but the last four digits, Taitz apparently didn’t get the message. Instead, Taitz, a lawyer, left the first five digits intact and redacted the last four digits.

Chief U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth said he has not yet imposed sanctions because the government has not asked. “Plaintiff should be aware, however, that repeated violations of the rules are in fact sanctionable, even sua sponte,” he wrote. “Moreover, wasting the court’s time with nonsense is not the way for plaintiff to have any hope of prevailing in this case.” When confronted with her repeated errors, Lamberth said Taitz made a “somewhat hysterical claim for reconsideration” and said a court employee was “intentionally sabotaging” her. On Monday, Taitz sent another version of her opposition to the court with the last four digits of the Social Security number redacted yet again. “Plaintiff is either toying with the court or displaying her own stupidity,” Lamberth wrote. “She made the correct redactions when she re-filed her complaint and amended complaint. There is no logical explanation she can provide as to why she is now wasting the court’s time, as well as staff’s time, with these improper redactions.” Though Soviet Moldova-born Taitz is the face of the so-called birther movement, her views are extreme enough to have gotten her banned from Tea Party events. In addition to being a lawyer, Taitz is a dentist and tae kwon do black belt.

Shane Jenkins, 43, was arrested Friday morning at his northwest Houston home, according to the FBI. He now faces several charges stemming from the Jan. 6 insurrection that led to the death of five people, including a police officer.

According to federal court documents, Jenkins is charged with assault on a federal officer, obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder, damage to federal property, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds and two counts of knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority.

According to the criminal complaint, Jenkins was identified by someone who was researching people seen in public footage of the riot. According to the document, the person watching the video could see Jenkins pull out a “small crowbar” and smash a window near a tunnel in the Lower West Terrace of the Capitol.
<snip>
Investigators said that security camera footage from the day of the riot shows Jenkins throwing things like a desk drawer, a pipe and a flagpole at both Capitol and Metropolitan police officers.

The FBI said they reviewed a 2014 photograph of Jenkins from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice which also showed him with a tattoo under his right eye and another across his neck with the words, “Mama Tried.” They added that Jenkins’ driver’s license shows the same tattoos.

These tattoos are visible in photographs that show Jenkins was in the area of the Lower West Terrace, the FBI said. These photographs show Jenkins wearing the red Nautica beanie, a blue hoodie and black jacket.

The FBI said they showed them to a parole officer with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice who was assigned to Jenkins for several years and had regular in-person contact with him. The parole officer identified the man in the photos as Jenkins.

Or Merle Haggard.
The first thing I remember knowing
Was a lonesome whistle blowing
And a young'un's dream of growing up to ride
On a freight train leaving town
Not knowing where I'm bound
And no one could change my mind, but Mama tried
One and only rebel child
From a family meek and mild
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
Despite all my Sunday learning
Towards the bad I kept on turning
Till Mama couldn't hold me anymore
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
No one could steer me right, but Mama tried, Mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
Dear old Daddy, rest his soul
Left my mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Working hours without rest
Wanted me to have the best
She tried to raise me right, but I refused
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
No one could steer me right, but Mama tried, Mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried

The only thing I know about country music is that if you play a country music song backwards, your girl comes back, and your dog comes back, and you get your job and your house back, and so forth.

Love can make you do strange things, and one time a beautiful young lady had me taking two-step dance lessons. That didn't end well. Never really learned the dance, and she left me for another guy. And I never did figure out how to play that song backwards. Boo hoo. :lol:
