The J6 Committee’s Obstruction of Justice
« on: March 15, 2023, 09:27:30 PM »
Since the Twitter files and Tucker Carlson videos were dropped, the fake J6 Committee has disappeared and not been heard from…

We are all familiar with the fact that members of Congress are constitutionally immune from prosecution over what they say during the time they are debating in the House or Senate (Article 1, §6, clause 1). So, Pencil Neck Schiff was free to lie through his teeth about “evidence” of Trump conspiring with Russia, and all we could do was turn the volume down or change channels. The January 6 Select Committee was similarly free to declare that the riot around the Capitol building was “an insurrection” “worse than Pearl Harbor,” and we had no other recourse.

The committee and media friends

Of course, the Uniparty, to which Mitch the Turtle McConnell, Mittens Romney, and Thom Tillis have declared their allegiance, is now sounding air raid sirens over Tucker Carlson’s airing of previously concealed surveillance video from inside the Capitol. Kevin McCarthy wisely has avoided taking any sides other than to declare that transparency is a paramount virtue. Mere citizens such as this writer are left to puzzle out the legal ramifications of this turn of events. The case of Jacob Chansley, aka the Q-Anon Shaman, brings them into sharp focus. And we must wonder if the Committee and their allies are yelling because they have been placed in serious legal jeopardy. Tucker is taking flak from them, so he must be over the target.

Jacob Chansley became the face of the January 6 event because of his outlandish makeup and dress on that day. He was photographed in the Senate chambers and charged with "knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds." He argued in his defense that he had been admitted to the building by the Capitol Police and was escorted around by them. His attorney made “extraordinary efforts” to get security video to bolster his claims but was unable to gain access to it.

Following Chansley’s failure to corroborate his story, he was coerced into pleading guilty to “obstructing an official proceeding.” Judge Royce Lamberth sentenced him to 41 months in prison to set an example, as requested by the prosecution. Suddenly, Tucker Carlson has broadcast proof that Chansley’s story is true. He was admitted to the building without any sort of violence that has been documented. While some broke windows to get in, Chansley was part of a group that simply walked in when the police opened the doors to allow them in, contrary to Judge Lamberth’s written opinion. The inner doors had magnetic locks, which, if switched on, would have prevented Chansley and the crowd he was with from entering. Thus, if the Capitol Police had wished to prevent entry, all they had to do was flip a switch. Instead, as numerous witnesses have stated, the doors were opened from the inside to allow entry. He then wandered around the building with police officers in tow. They even tried to open various locked doors to allow him into the Senate chambers.

Chansley’s attorney adamantly insisted that the prosecutors had access to all the relevant video but refused to allow him to see it or present it in court. If that statement is true, then the prosecutors committed a “Brady violation.” In 1963, the Supreme Court ruled in Brady v. Maryland and its successor cases that a prosecutor has an affirmative duty to disclose all evidence that is potentially favorable to the defendant. Concealing that video meant that the prosecutors denied Chansley his right to an effective defense. This is an extremely serious offense which can properly overturn a conviction or plea. Just ask General Flynn. Unfortunately, the system protects its own, and attorneys seldom pay much of a price.

 
But let us suppose that the prosecutors did not see all that video, and therefore did not commit a Brady violation. Is there another crime lurking? We can’t punish the J6 Committee members for their lies from the dais, but they did something far worse. They concealed the evidence by refusing to let anyone but their chosen allies see it. They even tried to lock it up for fifty years. There’s a term for this: Obstruction of Justice. And it’s found in 18 USC § 1519.

“Whoever knowingly alters, destroys, mutilates, conceals, covers up, falsifies, or makes a false entry in any record, document, or tangible object with the intent to impede, obstruct, or influence the investigation or proper administration of any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States or any case filed under title 11, or in relation to or contemplation of any such matter or case, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.”

Before we go any farther, we must note that there is an issue with the statute of limitations. The DOJ has five years to prosecute, unless the offender has traveled out of state (out of DC!), in which case the statute is tolled (extended). But! If the obstruction involves a case where people were murdered (Does the name Ashli Babbitt come to mind?), there is no statute of limitations.

Princess Pelosi and her minions on the J6 Committee concealed over forty thousand hours of video. In that library are segments documenting how multiple people were beaten, and some even killed. Others have died in jail without being able to present a defense. Other video shows what appear to be agents provocateur working to stir up the crowd. In short, the J6 Committee concealed evidence of their own criminality while preventing innocents from presenting legitimate defenses to trumped-up criminal charges. This is “concealing” and “covering up” evidence “with the intent to impede, obstruct, or influence the investigation or proper administration of any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States.”

The J6 Committee members are not just left-wing blowhards. They have obstructed justice, which I presume is not protected by the Speech and Debate clause. It is a felony and should be prosecuted post haste by an incoming Attorney General in a new Republican administration. Congress must never be allowed to think that they are immune from the laws that are used against the rest of us.

All the twitter files and Tucker's selective videos of January 6th have accomplished is to serve as further humiliation for Congressional Republicans and the ball tanning bow tied freak.

Blah, blah, blah


https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/03/the_j6_committees_obstruction_of_justice.html



FYI:
On December 22, 2022, it (the January 6 Committee) published an 845-page final report (including the executive summary released three days earlier). That week, the committee also began publishing interview transcripts. The Committee was formed through a largely party-line vote on July 1, 2021, and it dissolved in early January 2023.

So according the the Gateway Pundit nitwits, when MAGA, et al stormed the Capitol, breaking windows and doors to illegally enter and occupy the building, it was a sting operation by the DC Police... give me a fucking break.  ::) ::) ::)

Regardless of what they say, the Shaman being guided around and let into buildings by cops seems to paint a different picture of that day, no?

There has  to be a reason Pelosi hand picked the republicans she wanted on the committee after rejected McCarthy's suggestions, right?  Personally, when I heard that, I lost interest, as I knew they were going to push an agenda, and limit the truth.  The footage given to fox seems to support that.

The 4 minute video aired by Carlson was captured on internal CCTV cameras "only from approximately 2:56 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.," after Chansley had already breached a police line with the mob and "faced off with members of the U.S. Capitol Police for more than thirty minutes in front of the Senate Chamber doors while elected officials, including the Vice President of the United States, were fleeing from the chamber."

‘QAnon Shaman’ Jacob Chansley pleads guilty to felony in US Capitol riot.

Jacob Chansley, the spear-carrying Jan. 6 rioter whose horned fur hat, bare chest and face paint made him one of the more recognizable figures in the assault on the Capitol, was sentenced Wednesday to 41 months in prison.

Chansley, who pleaded guilty to a felony charge of obstructing an official proceeding, was among the first rioters to enter the building.

“Top Democrat On J6 Committee: We Actually Didn’t Review Any Of The Surveillance Video”

 You can bet Carlson’s team did…

After Fox News host Tucker Carlson aired Capitol surveillance footage this week exposing yet more falsehood from the House Select Committee on Jan. 6 and leaving Democrats and their media allies irate, the committee chair on Wednesday said the panel never actually analyzed the crucial footage.

On Monday’s edition of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Fox News aired the footage of the riot on Jan. 6, 2021, undermining the select committee’s narrative of a “deadly insurrection.” Given access to the video by Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Carlson’s team reviewed over 40,000 hours of footage, which offered proof the committee manipulated audio and video to dramatize the riot for its made-for-TV hearings in an election year.

But in a Wednesday night statement to CNN, select committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., claimed the panel never analyzed the blockbuster footage Fox News aired this week.

“I’m not actually aware of any member of the committee who had access,” Thompson said. “We had a team of employees who kind of went through the video.”

Hiring investigators who “kind of went through the video” doesn’t sound like a very thorough investigation.

However, Thompson’s admission that his committee lacked due diligence makes no sense. Since when do lawmakers have no access to the same material as their own staffers? Did none of the nine panel members view the footage that was played for the cameras? Does Thompson not know who had access to the tapes? Was it just the former television executives they hired to produce their show trials? Either Thompson is lying and knows exactly who had access, or he handed the key to Vice Chair Liz Cheney and had nothing to do with it while the committee leaked exclusives to CNN.

Thompson’s office did not immediately respond to The Federalist’s inquiries.

The committee clearly had access to the footage Carlson aired this week that contradicted the panel’s key narratives. After all, members of the committee endlessly bragged about how many documents, more than 35,000, investigators reviewed. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who used the committee to dodge responsibility for her own failure to secure the Capitol, just refused to make the tapes public — and after Carlson’s revelations, it’s clear why.

Carlson’s program showed that the man who became the face of the “insurrection,” known as the “QAnon Shaman,” was given VIP treatment by police. The tapes showed since-deceased Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick walking around “vigorously” after altercations with protesters who had allegedly murdered him. The footage also showed that mysterious rioter Ray Epps lied to congressional investigators about his whereabouts the day of the riot, yet the committee protected the “insurrectionist.”

On Monday, Carlson announced his team discovered proof that Democrats on Pelosi’s probe came across the same footage Fox made public.

“We can be sure because the footage contains an electronic bookmark that is still archived in the Capitol’s computer system,” said Carlson. “That means that investigators working for the Democratic Party saw this tape. They saw it, but they refused to release the tape to the public.”

Committee staffers even used some of the footage to show Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., allegedly fleeing the Capitol. All Carlson did was extend the footage a few seconds longer than what was televised in the committee’s show-trial hearings, and it became clear Hawley departed the Capitol along with other members of Congress. The clip published by the committee was always demonstrably dishonest.

Of course, the video Tucker releases is discounted as selective and yet these same guys will believe, without hesitation, the selective videos their leftist media shows.

That would make no sense

Jordan has done nothing but humiliate himself and other Republicans with their various investigations into Republican CT's
I'm glad that Republicans are "investigating" all their idiotic CT's.  There are, for the most part total bullshit so the more they look into them the more they will just humiliated themselves

You already went down this path. You seem a little young to be getting senile. Maybe too much Trumpism is doing you in. There is a big difference between reviewing a video and analyzing it. -This could be why analyzed was switched out with reviewed. It also negates that statement being a quote. If you quote someone, you do so word for word.

Except that's not the point.  Footage shows him being polite, thanking the officers, etc.

This isn't a defense of his idiocy.  It just shows that the way this played out according to the left might not be quite how they said.

Why do Republicans have to LIE so much

Can't they find anything to whine about that is actually true

One of my friends yesterday insisted that SV Bank donated 75 million to BLM
Turns out this was lie was bouncing around the right wing media/echo chamber the last couple of days
I told her it sounded like nonsense but she insisted it was true
Turns out (of course) that it was total bullshit

More lies from Republicans about J6
