Capitol riot suspect Douglas Jensen blames 'pack of lies,' seeks jail release

Douglas Jensen, in a document filed by his attorney, said he believed he was a "true patriot" for going to Washington at the urging of President Donald Trump. He said his intention was to only observe.

Jensen's claims he is "a victim of numerous conspiracy theories that were being fed to him over the internet by a number of very clever people, who were uniquely equipped with slight, if any, moral or social consciousness."

Jensen neither threatened physical harm to anyone nor destroyed property. Jensen had his work pocketknife on him for protection when he went to the Trump rally preceding the march to the Capitol, Davis said in the court filing.

Video and photographs of Jensen have been widely distributed, showing him wearing a QAnon shirt as he pursued Capitol Police officer Eugene Goodman as a mob follows them up the stairs inside the Capitol.

These asshats need to take a little personal responsibility. Everything isn't always someone else's fault. They made their beds, now they get to reap their fields of what they've sown. And so on, and so forth.

Many of those charged in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol have blamed former president Donald Trump for their actions, saying he riled them with his claims of election fraud and his promises to join them in fighting it.

Now, Trump’s continued refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election is helping to keep some of those supporters behind bars.

“The steady drumbeat that inspired defendant to take up arms has not faded away; six months later, the canard that the election was stolen is being repeated daily on major news outlets and from the corridors of power in state and federal government, not to mention the near-daily fulminations of the former President,” U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson wrote recently in denying bond to a Colorado man. The man is accused of driving to Washington with two firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition after threatening to kill House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D).

Dolan hid guns & "is espousing a troubling conspiracy theory... Capitol Police wanted rioters to come into the building & disengaged magnetic locks"

I also am struck by: "In addition, Defendant Dolan recruited others to the Oath Keepers and has since taken significant efforts to delete or secrete evidence."

In other news...

He looks like a delightful tourist.

Trump's impeachment lawyers, Castor and Van der Meer, argued at the trial that Trump had done nothing wrong, and that the insurrection on Jan. 6 was all the rioters' fault.

Are they now going to argue that their clients were acting at the behest or at least the inspiration of Trump?

They seem to be very proud that Trump was acquitted. Hell, I could have gotten him acquitted, and I wouldn't have even had to show up. It was a foregone conclusion that Trump would be acquitted. Trump should have saved himself the legal fees. Maybe he did. Has he paid them for their work? They were more successful at their task than Rudy was at his.

Yummy new conspiracy indictment for 6 California III%ers, including 2 who were with Stone on 1-5.

:bunny: :bunny: :cheer1: :cheer1: :cheer1:

Article

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/three- ... 021-06-10/
Federal prosecutors have charged six members of the Three Percenters right-wing militia group with conspiring to attack the U.S. Capitol, the latest in a series of such charges arising from the Jan. 6 riot by former President Donald Trump's supporters.

The charges against the six men, all from California, were disclosed in an indictment unsealed on Thursday in federal court in Washington. Two of them, Alan Hostetter and Russell Taylor, were seen a day before the riot with Roger Stone, a friend and adviser to Trump, during a protest outside the U.S. Supreme Court against the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

About 30 people - including members of two other right-wing groups, The Oath Keepers and The Proud Boys - have been accused of conspiracy, the most serious charges related to the riot. Those pending cases are the largest and most complex of the roughly 500 brought by the Justice Department since the attack.

The prosecutors may offer them a deal anyway, to save the time and expense of a trial. They've got almost 500 people to process. They may decide to give the little fish an out to minimize jail time or simply get probation.

I hope that none of them are allowed to plead guilty to misdemeanors. They need a felony conviction so that they can't possess guns.

According to Scott MacFarlane and his excellent reporting, there are lots of detention hearings today. Oh, and he says he'll be on MSNBC at 11:30 AM to discuss.
