[Kendra]

In court filing this week, Jan 6 defendant Alan Hostetter opens:

"President Trump won the 2020 election in one of the biggest landslide victories in US history. Our constitutional republic was overthrown. An imposter president was installed"

How shall we describe his writing style? Hyperbolic? Detailed? Should it be nominated for a Mark Twain Award?

He has birthed new words which I propose as Snarksaurus entries: fedsurrection and Triune Entrapment Defense.

For that matter, I love that he spells 'Reality' with silent letters a-l-t-e-r-n-a-t-e.

In a just world, the case would be remanded, he's go to trial and get a longer sentence than he had with the deal he wants to toss.

That’s pretty much what the DOJ is saying will happen. Footnotes…

Initial appearance this week in newly-unsealed Jan 6 case of Scott Columbus of New York. Feds allege he was near mob ransacking a Capitol office.

They say Columbus claimed to have been "pushed in" at Capitol.. but feds argue the video shows otherwise

[Kendra]

MEANWHILE.... another new Jan 6 case is unsealed. Charging document says William Wilkerson of Indiana posted after the Capitol siege: "Real patriots did infiltrate the capitol. I watched it happen. The media is all lies unless they were there."

[Kendra]

Hostetter opened this hearing (appearing via zoom) with a series of sweeping conspiratorial theories:

“This event was completely set up by the federal government”

“It was staged.. the entire January 6 operation was a federal set-up”

Moar crazy at the link. This trial is gonna be wild.

“It was staged.. the entire January 6 operation was a federal set-up”

And as a police officer (i guess now a former LEO) he did not see thru the ruse?

That line never sways them because, of course, it's the Deep State that set up Jan 6, not The True President.

Nothing will sway them from their faith in TFG.

Does he think the above is true or does he know he's going down and his filing will get him a pardon when trump Shirley wins in 2024?

Trial coming soon

@MacFarlaneNews
Trial is scheduled for July 6 in US Capitol breach case of Alan Hostetter of California, former police chief who yesterday alleged Jan 6 was a government "set-up", entrapment operation, rife w/ informants who infilltrated far-right groups

Hostetter is defending HIMSELF at trial

Homo sapiens have an amazing ability to believe utter shite.

If you're encouraged to believe shite based on the presentation skills of the speaker or writer, rather than, y'know, facts; if you are more moved by the romanticized story rather than cold reality, you call that "belief" and pride yourself in it.

Others think your belief is amazing and must be true, so they think you're great. As farr as I can see it's a toss up whether you end up in jail or running a mega church.

I wonder how the J6 tourists sleep these days. Knowing that the FBI is picking one after the other.

Ten green bottles hanging on the wall, Ten green bottles hanging on the wall, And if one green bottle should accidentally fall, There'll be nine green bottles hanging on the wall.
