Judge scolds DOJ for lying about VP's whereabouts on Jan. 6
2022-02-11
[WND] In a case against a Jan. 6 defendant, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Thursday rebuked Justice Department prosecutors for misleading a grand jury and the court about the whereabouts of then Vice President-elect Kamala Harris during the rioting at the U.S. Capitol.

Last week, CNN reported that contrary to the Justice Department's indictments, Harris was at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington when the riot began. It was Harris' security detail, in fact, that found one of the two pipe bombs that were widely reported on Jan. 6. But until last week, it wasn't known that Harris was within yards of a pipe bomb before it was discovered. Raising further questions is the fact that the pipe bomb suspect, despite surveillance camera footage and physical evidence, has not been identified.

In his order Thursday, Judge Trevor McFadden, noted that the government filed an indictment against Nicholas Rodean more than one year ago that erroneously stated that Harris and then Vice President Mike Pence were at the Capitol during the riots.

An excerpt of the order was tweeted by investigative reporter Julie Kelly, who has reported extensively on the Capitol riot and the alleged plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, finding parallels between the two in the use of FBI informants.

#6  There are a lot of common tools in the regime change toolbox that major intel agencies around the world. Increasingly the circumstantial information suggests the J6 incursion and the media shaping of how it was described initially sure seems to have that kind of patina. My question is whose toolbox?
I'm reminded of the scene where the guy turns to Harrison Ford's Jack Ryan character after opening his safe and holding out a piece of paper and asks "You don't have one of these Jack?"

#5  ....not about Dem or Rep; it is about destroying democracy which requires violence to squash.

Sending the people an Oradour-sur-Glane message. A totalitarian or Agent Provocateur support tactic.

If it were not the"Jan. 6th", wouldn't many judges have tossed the case out the door? Because of the DOJ's omissions and misleading statements officially entered into evidence?

Shouldn't the person(s) that created and entered the known FALSE EVIDENCE be charged?

NOTE: These cases have APPEAL written all over them. Given the growing collection of DOJ evidence related issues and omissions now coming to light.

Surely,it has more and more of America wondering how much of the Jan. 6th congressional building trespassing was planned entrapment or staged by a mixed of rouge 5th column extremists, Capital/DC Police, a few staff, and ANTI-FA/BLM?

#3  The DeepState placed the bombs at both DNC & RNC for two main reasons: gives them the justification for whatever violence they push onto protesters. By ‘bombing’ both headquarters it makes it appear that this is not about Dem or Rep; it is about destroying democracy which requires violence to squash.

Since the bombs were built only to scare and not to explode the DeepState need not worry about telling any other agencies or whether Any VP was nearby.

The fact they are lying about VP location just pushes the conspiracy theory even deeper.

Tucker hints: The pipe bombs planted at the DNC and RNC on Jan. 6 were a false flag operation

I’m not sure what his theory is here and I’m not sure he’s sure either. But the nice thing about “just asking questions” is that you don’t need to have a fully formulated theory. You’re … just asking questions.

His question are leading, though, which means he has some suspicions. From what I can tell, his theory is this: The FBI, possibly in cahoots with the Biden campaign, planted the two pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC to divert police resources from the Capitol as the insurrection began, all part of their sinister plot to make Trumpers look bad on January 6. Even more alarming, Kamala Harris ended up visiting DNC headquarters that morning, passing within yards of the still undiscovered bomb. It’s unclear whether Tucker thinks Harris knew the bomb was there or if some mastermind who knew it was there encouraged her to go, but it’s all far too coincidental to be innocent. And it’s weird that the public didn’t know until just last month that Harris was at the DNC that day. There must be a cover-up of sorts happening.

In fairness to him, that last part is pretty weird. Although Occam’s Razor suggests that the reason for keeping it quiet is that Team Biden thought the security lapse was embarrassing and didn’t want to call attention to it. You typically don’t want to signal to enemy powers that the vice president’s security detail may not be up to snuff.

Tucker goes on to claim that the bombs were basically inert, evidence that they were a pre-planned diversion rather than a serious attempt to do harm. That’s not what the FBI says, though:
