He also has reported his concerns about a politicized FBI to Republican members of Congress, among 20 whistleblowers from the bureau who have come forward with similar complaints.

This irks me. “FBI has been politicized! They’re only arresting conservative Republicans!”

Well, now, son, you bring up an interesting point. Could it be that conservative Republicans, having suddenly realized there’s very little downside to breaking the law and very little up$ide to playing by old rules, make up the majority of white collar law breakers now? I didn’t see any Democrats take a dump on the sacred marble or break windows or batter the thin blue line with pipes and shields or whatever they could grab inside the Capital on Jan 6, did you? Or steal voting machines? Or vote more than once for their cheap Jeebus? Betchya dollars to donuts the vast majority of COVID relief fraudsters were of the elephant persuasion, too.

I would like you to shut up now.

Brooklyn man identified as Capitol rioter who reportedly received phone call from White House on Jan. 6

NEW YORK — A Brooklyn man who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 has been identified as the recipient of a mysterious nine-second phone call from the White House placed during the riot.

Anton Lunyk, 26, of Midwood, Brooklyn, admitted joining the attack with two buddies and is the owner of the phone to which someone at the White House briefly called during the riot, CNN reported Monday.

The mystery call was revealed by former Jan. 6 committee staffer and ex-Rep. Denver Riggleman, R-Va., in an interview on CBS News’ “60 Minutes“ on Sunday.

Riggleman, who is promoting his new book about the committee’s work, framed the call as a smoking gun that Trump or someone on his team was cheering on the attack in real time.

“That’s a big, pretty big ‘aha’ moment,” Riggleman, a Trump critic, told "60 Minutes" correspondent Bill Whitaker.

“Was it an accidental call?” Riggleman mused. “When the White House just happened to (call) a rioter that day, on January 6th? Probably not.”

But investigators and members of the Jan. 6 committee reportedly downplayed that claim, noting that Lunyk says he doesn’t know anything about the call and doesn’t know Trump or anyone on his staff.

The call was placed shortly after Trump tweeted a call for his supporters to “leave peacefully.”

Federal prosecutors allege that Lunyk came to Washington, D.C., "for the chaos” with his friends, Francis Connor and Antonio Ferrigno.

The three exchanged violent messages about former Vice President Mike Pence, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., CNN reported.

Busy day at court, with jury selection starting for 5 Oath Keepers charged w/ seditious conspiracy, sentencing this afternoon for Kyle Young -- who pleaded guilty to assaulting Officer Mike Fanone -- and, at 10, the verdict in Kyle Fitzsimons bench trial.

@ryanjreilly
New: Judge finds Jan. 6 defendant Kyle Fitzsimons GUILTY of felony civil disorder, GUILTY of obstruction of an official proceeding. Judge still going through the rest of the charges.

BREAKING: John Strand convicted by jury today on all counts.

HAPPENING NOW: MPD Officers Moore and Fanone are addressing Judge Amy Berman Jackson as she prepares to sentence Jan. 6 defendant Kyle Young, who participated in some of the most brutal violence that day at the Capitols' Lower West Terrace Tunnel.

New: A Jan. 6 supporter just called Mike Fanone a “piece of shit” inside the courtroom. It came after Fanone told defendant Kyle Young, during his victim statement, that he hoped Young suffers in prison.

There was a brief stare down, and the man has now been escorted from court.

SENTENCE: ABJ sentences Kyle Young to 86 months in jail, matching the government's recommendation, plus 36 months of supervised release.

"The judiciary … has to make it clear: It is not patriotism, it is not standing up for America to stand up for one man who knows full well that he lost, instead of the Constitution he was trying to subvert."

After being pulled from the line of officers, Fanone was then beaten by rioters during one of the most brutal assaults on police protecting the Capitol that day. He was tased in the neck and eventually lost consciousness during the attack, where he had begged rioters for his life and told them he had children.

Young, Jackson said, was the individual who handed another rioter the stun gun used to electrocute Fanone. Young then showed the individual how to operate the device.

“You had to teach him how to turn it on,” Jackson said, “you armed someone.”

The individual, Daniel Rodriguez, is charged with electrocuting Fanone several times in his neck and has pleaded not guilty.

“I hope someday you’ll forgive me,” Young, who brought his 16-year-old son with him to the Capitol, said to Fanone during the sentencing hearing. “I know you hate me.”

NEW: Here’s a phone call Mike Fanone got tonight after his assailant Kyle Young was sentenced to more than seven years in federal prison in his Jan. 6 case.

Newly released Jan. 6 body-worn camera footage shows the mob using an enormous TRUMP sign as a battering ram against police.

Robert Packer, the Virginia man who wore a "Camp Auschwitz" sweatshirt during the Capitol riot, has filed notice he plans to appeal his 75-day sentence.

His CJA attorney Stephen Brennwald won't be representing him in that, though, so unclear if he'll attempt it pro se.

More of Ronnie Sandlin’s work, as filmed by fellow rioter Joshua Colt, the rioter who rappelled onto the floor of the Senate, which he mistakenly believed was the House.

At 1pm:

Sentencing in Jan 6 case of Cara Hentschel of Missouri. Feds argue she has history of felony convictions & "lack of remorse" after riot

They also argue Hentschel claimed police "murdered" Ashli Babbitt

(Her CO-DEFENDANT is sentenced at 2pm)

Because irony is dead, "Stop the Steal" organizer Ali Alexander went on Telegram today to urge Americans to support Putin's sham, gunpoint elections in Ukraine and to not be "election deniers."

Justice Dept announces Jan 6 charges against Mikhail Slye of PA, alleging "Slye used a bike rack barricade to intentionally trip an officer with the Capitol Police.. As a result of being tripped, the officer fell down the stairs. He suffered injuries as a result of this incident
