Was briefly browsing through orders from the DC Federal Court and came across an order from Judge McFadden regarding a motion by David Lee Judd (I normally do not open those as I don't have much time but when I see Judd, I do it by an old habit and Orly's plaintiff with perfect jurisdiction).

The order starts thusly:
David Lee Judd faces felony charges for his alleged involvement in the Capitol riot. He now asks the Court to compel production of internal Government communications about its charging decisions. He argues that the Government has prosecuted him—a conservative—more harshly than liberal defendants accused of similar behavior during the riots that plagued Portland in the summer of 2020. Although he raises some troubling patterns in the Portland prosecutions, Judd has not shown that he is similarly situated to those defendants. He thus has not met his burden to compel discovery. The Court denies his motion.
Now some folks might think that McFadden, a Trump appointee, is trying to make some points against the Biden admin, but later in the footnotes, he points out where the defendant is wrong.
9 Even if the Court is wrong about Judd’s showing on the first prong, he also fails the second prong. He argues only briefly that his prosecution was motivated by an improper purpose. But his narrative of Government malfeasance does not fit reality. A Republican-appointed U.S. Attorney (under the direction of a Republican-appointed Attorney General) was responsible for the initial prosecutorial decisions in Portland. Those decisions involved dismissals of charges against Portland defendants, including ones alleged to have struck officers. See, e.g., United States v. Johnson, No. 3:20-mj-00170 (D. Or., dismissed Oct. 22, 2020) (defendant accused of striking an officer with a homemade shield). The Trump DOJ also dismissed charges against the D.C. Black Lives Matter protestor who allegedly threw a firework at police. See supra note 6. And DOJ began arresting January 6 defendants while still under Republican leadership. See, e.g., United States v. Chansley, No. 21-cr-00003 (D.D.C., filed Jan. 8, 2021). More, the Biden DOJ continued to prosecute Portland defendants who allegedly struck officers. See, e.g., United States v. Horton, No. 3:20-cr-00419 (D. Or.) (defendant pled guilty in August 2021 to one felony count of 18 U.S.C. § 111 after hitting officer with a baseball bat). Those decisions by both administrations undermine Judd’s theory that DOJ purposefully prosecuted him for his politics.

The judge is troubled with some of the decisions but does point out, it is not because one is Trump DOJ and the other is the Biden DOJ.

Because protests and riots in Portland on systemic social issues are the same as storming the US Capital with the intent to capture and prosecute elected members of Congress.

Per charging documents, James Brooks was wearing radio equipment and military vest as he was amid the mob at Capitol riot

Check out one of the images included by prosecutors... it actually shows the triggering of a Capitol metal detector ===>

Feds ask court to tighten release conditions on Capitol riot defendant Josh Pruitt, who's pleaded not guilty

Prosecutors have linked Pruitt to Proud Boys, allege he picked up a "Quiet Please" sign & through it inside Capitol

It's what happened *after* Jan 6 .. though

Capitol Rioter Asks Court to Appoint U.S. Marshals to Subpoena Trump and His Allies
Dustin Thompson, a Capitol riot defendant, asked a court on Friday to appoint the U.S. Marshals Service to subpoena former president Donald Trump and his allies.

His attorney, Samuel H. Shamansky, listed names of witnesses to be subpoenaed, including Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani, Lin Wood and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, according to a court memo.
https://www.newsweek.com/capitol-rioter ... es-1667201

My IANAL prediction: The Court will deny the request. But these people can still have subpoenas served by private process server, correct? What are the chances that any of them could actually testify?

How could it not be an insurrection?

The intent matters and the internet was to overturn the election. There's no plausible deniability about that.

EXPOSED: How Phony ‘America First’ Grifters Sold MAGA Down the River on Jan. 6 and Beyond
Shane Trejo Jan 8, 2022

One of the lesser told stories regarding the fall-out of Jan. 6 is how grifters, sensing the ability to co-opt a legitimate protest movement against election fraud, organized under a dubious “America First” banner to co-opt the momentum for their own self-serving ambitions. While it is now well-understood that there was a great deal federal incitement that helped foment the violence that happened in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, organizers on the scene have been able to skirt under the radar for the most part. But two particularly trashy, unintelligent weak links – the couple of tea party flunkies name Dustin Stockton and Jennifer Lawrence – show how certain organizers, either due to gross incompetence or complicity, allowed the protest to be co-opted. Stockton and Lawrence have become media darlings since Jan. 6 after they flipped and began cooperating with ongoing federal witch hunt hearings. Now, they receive glowing profiles in fake news rags like Politico and Rolling Stone and regurgitate Democrat talking points on MSNBC and CNN. Jan. 6 rally organizer on the moment Trump ordered protesters to march to the Capitol:

"We realized, 'Oh my God, you’re marching those people, we have nothing in place, what are you doing?,' It was so disheartening and so deflating. It’s really not okay." pic.twitter.com/lVJMxNy4PY
— All In with Chris Hayes (@allinwithchris) December 16, 2021

“The buck has got to stop at Pres. Trump.”
Dustin Stockton, one of the organizers behind pro-Trump rallies that took place Jan. 6, tells CNN’s @AndersonCooper that he feels “a sense of betrayal.”
He testified before the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot. pic.twitter.com/15pMziDY0E
— Anderson Cooper 360° (@AC360) December 15, 2021

Attorney Josh Nass has been influential in the reinvention of Stockton and Lawrence. Nass is a lawyer who brags of his ties to Jared Kushner and his list of internationalist clients. In a profile of Nass released in the Jerusalem Post, he is described as an ardent Zionist, and his Huffington Post bio stated his mission is to “change the perception of the Republican Party.” Nass staged a press conference with Stockton where he claimed he and his client were offering a “treasure trove of documents” that will show “illuminating” evidence to House Democrats to implicate “people who are very senior in the former president’s orbit and even lawmakers among them” that should have these individuals “quivering in their boots.” This was before Stockton was set to talk to commission leaders. “There are indeed a lot of messages that the committee is going to appreciate reading, and I can assure you that there are members of the former president’s orbit that are among them,” Nass said with a smug grin during a media address next to Stockton last month. Stockton has already been proven as a liar who will make up stories in order to curry favor in the same vein as the Lincoln Project with Democrats who have an endless appetite for Trump hate porn. He was forced to retract false smears about Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) in which he claimed Gosar promised blanket pardons from President Trump for anyone who committed criminal activity on Jan. 6. Stockton now admits this never happened. “We don’t want to be known as an insurrectionist or any other dumb-f— influencer on the right who just echoes the same talking points everybody else says,” Stockton said of the reasoning behind his betrayal and collaboration with the Democrats’ unlawful investigation.

Stockton and Lawrence got involved with the election reform movement after being drafted by a long-time crony. Amy Kremer, the head of Women for America First, tapped Stockton and Lawrence to co-opt “Stop the Steal” for their own purposes. After the tea party fizzled out under their stewardship, these grifters had been looking for something new to siphon money and resources away from. They believed they hit pay dirt with the nascent election reform movement and subsequent historic national rallies. Kremer, another long-time conservative grifter, has helped funnel grassroots energies behind the support of Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY). Her Women for America First astroturf front group held an event in 2019 hosted by Cheney, which allowed the neoconservative ‘America Last’ lawmaker to portray herself as a proponent of border security. Kremer also collaborated with Cheney to set up at least one more other rally as well.

What should come as no surprise to anyone is that Stockton and Lawrence had recent run-ins with the feds before being engrossed in Jan. 6. They were involved in the “We Build the Wall” project that has been accused of being a glorified embezzling operation. Stockton describes a stand-off he had with federal authorities in which he brandished a gun as federal agents raided his Nevada compound. No charges ever emerged as a result of this raid. This happened just months before Stockton’s unexpected rise within the election fraud protest movement. On the day of Jan. 6 when Capitol police and federal assets were ginning up a mob and creating the “Reichstag Fire” event needed for the Biden regime to consolidate power, Stockton and Lawrence were mysteriously absent. They said they got tired, butted heads with pro-Trump influencers, and threw in the towel before Trump could even finish his speech. While authentic “Stop the Steal” organizers like Alex Jones, Nick Fuentes and Ali Alexander are sued into oblivion, thrown on no-fly lists, and harassed by feds constantly, Stockton and Lawrence are rehabilitated and do press junkets denying election fraud and deriding President Trump. “We finally just gave up,” Stockton said regarding his lack of patriotism and futility as a freedom activist.

“The Trump world is clearly the worst of it. He has raised $200 million-plus since the election. What is that being used for? Is it being used for what they are telling people it is being used for? I know it is not, because I am out here starving,” he said, painting himself as a victim and begging for a handout. While it is terrific that the suspected federal infiltrators involved with stoking the violence on Jan. 6 are firmly in the public eye, this fetid underbelly of grifters, exploiting popular “America First” branding, must not be allowed to slip under the radar. Their failures have hurt the cause immeasurably, and their motives cannot be trusted.

Because Jeffrey Shaprio, a conservative who once was an appointee of the repeached Florida Man, likes to publicly defend the obvious de facto (if not just facto) leader of the Republican party.

A Michigan man accused of assaulting police with chemical spray during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot interrupted the judge overseeing his detention hearing, announced that he was “done with this,” and left the proceeding after the judge said he would keep the man behind bars.

Tim Boughner, 41, of Romeo, appeared via video for his hearing before U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui on Wednesday. According to prosecutors, Boughner used chemical spray against police multiple times as he stood among the front lines of the pro-Donald Trump crowd looking to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s win in the 2020 presidential election. Boughner later posted on Facebook that while at the Capitol on Jan. 6, he “started spraying” and bragged that he “fucked those cops up.”

Boughner also allegedly used a metal bike rack to try and push police back as they tried to stop the crowd from swarming the building.

Boughner has been in federal custody in Michigan since December.

A woman was arrested Wednesday outside the headquarters for the U.S. Capitol Police after police saw a gun case and the butt of a long gun in her vehicle, the police said. The woman, identified as Kery Lynn McAttee, is facing multiple weapons charges, the police said in a statement to CBS News.


McAttee parked in front of the building and told police she drove to Washington, D.C., from Michigan wanting to talk about "information she had about January 6, 2021," the police said. The arrest came less than a week after officials marked the first anniversary of the insurrection.

"At this time, there is no evidence the 58 year old suspect was coming here to do anything, except speak with our officers," the police said in the statement.
