Ex-New York senate candidate charged in Capitol riot asked friends to delete Jan. 6 videos
Daniel Christmann was taken into custody Wednesday on charges of disorderly conduct, entering a restricted building and demonstrating in a Capitol building.


A former candidate for the New York state senate charged in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol asked people to delete videos and photos of him inside the building after his friends began to get arrested.

Daniel Christmann was taken into custody Wednesday on charges of disorderly conduct, entering a restricted building and demonstrating in a Capitol building, according to the Department of Justice.

Federal authorities said several people reached out to investigators with the FBI to provide information on Christmann's participation in the riot. A criminal complaint states that Christmann made several posts on his "dannyforsenate" Instagram account showing a large crowd of people inside the Capitol.

He had also shared a video of a man yelling, "We want Nancy ...we want the rest of them." The FBI said it believes the man, who was not Christmann, was referring to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and other lawmakers.

Federal prosecutors & former Trump Administration appointee Federico Klein are arguing over possession of his cellphone in Klein's January 6th case.

Klein wants it back. Feds tell judge encrypted SIGNAL messages on Klein's phone will be evidence at trial

Amazing. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz and Louis Gohmert were just denied entry to the jail holding fellow January 6th insurrectionists.

Those jail guards are patriots.

I like the "fellow insurrectionists" part, adds a nice touch.

I assume they never talked to the BOC or the court to even set up an appointment to visit prisoners. They just show up and demand to be let in. I assume they knew (well at least Goober knew) that it would be denied.

Bringing cameras into the facility would also be a major no-no and shows they only want to do this for publicity.

Nothing but grift theater.

That's definitely how that clip reads: they attempted to use their congressional pins as all-access VIP passes, and were "surprised" when they didn't work.

The end times are upon us:

https://deadstate.org/michele-bachmann- ... r-been-in/


Michele Bachmann: DC on Jan 6 ‘was one of the happiest places I’ve ever been in’
In a video from this Tuesday, Former congresswoman Michele Bachmann commented on the first hearing held by the U.S. House Select Committee to investigate the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, saying the attack was actually carried out by a mob of Biden supporters.

Standing outside the Capitol, Bachmann claimed that Trump supporters had nothing to do with the riot, saying those who gathered that day for the “Stop the Steal” rally were peaceful Christians who came to pray.

So here's the thing.

There is a long history of senators and congresspersons getting things done for various constituents, but it almost never involves standing in front of cameras adjusting your shirt.

It was wrong when Dems showed up at the border detention centers unannounced, and it is wrong for these assholes to show up at this 'prison' unannounced. In a facility such as this, you can't just let randos come in and wander around - just not enough staff to control the facility in the face of that.

Once upon a time this would outrage me, but I’ve listened to enough people on this board to recognize that this about showing up for trial at this point, not punishment. Anyway.

/thread goes downhill from here as the judge questions the plea agreement.
Howell: This is not a real cooperation agreement? A real cooperation agreement, defendant agrees to testify at a trial. That's not in this cooperation agreement is it?

AUSA: No that's not in this plea agreement.

Too bad the defendant didn't think of going to Cancun for vacation/"tourism" instead of Wash. D.C.
Did Ted Cruz invite him there on this trip, or something?

Sorry, If you are facing federal prosecution and are on pre=trial release, you don't get to leave the country to go play.
