DOJ Tries To Stonewall Records Request On FBI Informant Embedded In Jan. 6 Defense Team

[Daily Caller] The Justice Department (DOJ) Thursday decried Jan. 6 defendant Zachary Rehl’s request to release any DOJ reporting records about the defense team, the day after the defense learned that a subpoenaed witness had been an FBI informant, court filings show.

Rehl, a former local Proud Boys leader, is standing trial with the group’s former national chairman Enrique Tarrio and members Ethan, Joseph Biggs and Dominic Pezzola for alleged seditious conspiracy and other charges in an indictment accusing them of conspiring "to oppose the lawful transfer of presidential power by force." After the government said Wednesday that an individual scheduled to appear in the trial as a defense witness had served as an FBI confidential human source from April 2021 to January 2023, Rhel’s attorney Carmen Hernandez filed a motion demanding that the government disclose all FBI or DOJ reports, recordings, and memoranda about "any reporting on and recordings of the defense team."

The DOJ’s Thursday response filing denied the existence of any such reports, recordings or memoranda, despite admitting the source told the FBI around Jan. 9 that she had been subpoenaed to testify in the case and already participated in a deposition. The DOJ contended that the source’s FBI reporting only became relevant in the case after Tarrio’s defense announced on Wednesday that they intended to draw evidence related to the reporting and call her to testify.

#3 Evidence tampering, entrapment, violations of legal and court processes etc. Should we rename the DOJ, the Dept Of Political Enforcement (DOPE)?

#5 Felonious Bureau of Investigation will likely get a pass on this. This may be the most historic railroading since they drove the golden spike home.

#6 Maybe local prosecutors can start making names for themselves by arresting agents in cases like these and putting them in jail. At some point the Felonious Bureau of Instigation is going instigate itself into mortal peril either by the law saying enough or vigilantes who practice the 3 S's. (Shoot, shovel and shut up) I'm not advocating that but the longer this goes on, the more the FBI will be seen as the enemy.
