FBI Instructs Reporter Steve Baker to Turn Himself in on Friday – This Comes After He Questioned the Government’s Role in Protests on January 6

[Mac-7]

Yeah, he did.
He crossed purpose-built barriers to the Capitol grounds and entered doorways or windows compromised by violent attackers of our Representatives.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I personally, know nothing about a so-called "lib lala land". However, I would suggest that ernest poster Mac-7 should be aware that the seriousness of any trespass will be viewed through the filter of: "It depends."

Depends on the where, the when, the sensitivity of the space, and the purpose of that trespass.
Both life and law kinda work that way.

The so-called 'journalists' John Sullivan & Steve Baker knew they entered highly restricted official space at a highly sensitive time in the governance of our nation. Everybody knew this was an important Constitutional requirement for our Congress to meet at this place at this time.

Yet Sullivan and Baker broke into our Capitol at that time.

That's on them. And the piper must be paid.

Lock 'em both up as punishment to them individually, and as a prophylactic to other jackasses in the future.

They didnt “break in”

They walked in along with hundreds of others

The protesters should not have stormed congress

If for no other reason than it presented the dems with their Reichstag fire moment

But it was a bit much

Civil disobedience got out of hand and some minor punishment is called for

But not to the journalists covering the event

 

[Marener]

They walked in along with hundreds of others

Through the doors that other rioters broke into.

 

[Delldude]

Through the doors that other rioters broke into.

Just like the guy who got off on four charges.

 

[Chillicothe]

"They didnt “break in”. They walked in along with hundreds of others"

• "Under modern burglary laws, no actual breaking or force is required. Rather, using any amount of effort—however slight—suffices for a legal "breaking."

A nano-google will teach all who are interested in what 'breaking and entering' entails. They weren't 'allowed' in, the public is prohibited unless specific approval is held, i.e., their Representative's staff authorizes it, or normal 'tourist' hours.
None of that is applicable for the violent attack on our Representatives and the Capitol on J6.

-----------------------------------------------------------

But not to the journalists covering the event

----------------------------------------------------
"Journalist" after the fact.
After Sullivan and Baker were caught.

Regardless, if it a restricted space.....as the Capitol building always is, and most especially on J6 when barricades were purposely erected. Clearly, both Sullivan and Baker broke the law.

If a judge or a jury finds them guilty then spank the bejesus outta them to teach them a lesson, and set a marker for future Jackasses.

IMHO

You continue to split legal hairs looking for the most severe and partisan description

Looks like a judge didn't quite see it that way.

Matthew Martin, who testified in his defense, was found not guilty by a federal judge on Wednesday of four misdemeanor charges that he illegally entered the U.S. Capitol and engaged in disorderly conduct after he walked into the building during last year's riot.

Government contractor acquitted of charges relating to Capitol riot

Matthew Martin was found not guilty by a federal judge of misdemeanor charges that he illegally entered the U.S. Capitol and engaged in disorderly conduct after he walked into the building.

Then there's this aspect:

Announcing his decision from the bench, US District Judge Trevor McFadden said that although prosecutors argued there were numerous instances when Martin would have been aware that he wasn’t allowed on Capitol grounds or inside the building — as he walked past fences with signs saying “AREA CLOSED” and recorded video of a broken window, blaring alarms, police in riot gear, and people who appeared to have encountered tear gas — those were outweighed by Martin’s “plausible” belief that he had permission because officers didn’t try to stop him from entering.

One judge.
Other defendant haven't had such luck of-the-draw.
As we all know.
As all patriotic and law abiding American citizens are grateful for.

Looking like the precedent has been set in this instance.

You can make whatever bullshit excuses you want. There was a police barrier. You cross the barrier, and you're engaged in criminal behavior. Any jackass with an iPhone could have claimed they were a blogger and therefore a member of the press that day.

They were WAVED IN BY CAPITOL POLICE who opened the doors. (Honestly, this seems like a fairly clear case of entrapment.)

Steve Baker Is an accredited journalist

And the 4th Estate has rights under the 1st Amendment

The Deep State must know this will be thrown out of court

But its still useful for intimidation of other journalists

Lawfare.

Exactly

The government can bankrupt him into submission

Or have him quietly killed.

The First Amendment protects journalists from Deep State persecution

Well, it USED to. I hope he is able to skip the country.

 

[Jarlaxle]

How could he break into the capitol when it was the capitol police who opened the huge double magnetic doors to the public?

Through doors capable of stopping a truck.

They didn’t. The rioters did.

Through the doors that other rioters broke into.

No, they did not. If they had, the doors would have been destroyed. Note the doors are capable of stopping a 10,000lb vehicle!

 

[Mordent]

They told him to only wear shorts and sandals when he turns himself in. If I was him I'd go tell them to pound sand.

FBI Instructs J6 Conservative Reporter Steve Baker to Turn Himself in on Friday - This Comes After He Questioned the Government's Role in the Protests on Jan. 6 | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft

Nearly three years after the January 6, 2021 fedsurrection, Blaze reporter Steve Baker reported in December that he will be charged for his actions that day reporting live on the event.

www.thegatewaypundit.com

This situation is concerning. This is not how justice is implemented in a free country.

 

[multivita-man]

They were WAVED IN BY CAPITOL POLICE who opened the doors. (Honestly, this seems like a fairly clear case of entrapment.)

Then why did so many of them either plead guilty or get convicted by a jury?

 

[Marener]

No, they did not. If they had, the doors would have been destroyed. Note the doors are capable of stopping a 10,000lb vehicle!

You know doors can open, right? That’s actually what makes them a door.

You see, there's good journalists and bad journalists, and they have already done the research so we don't have to. CIA gave highly classified intelligence to journos to fight a PR war against anti-Ukraine Republicans in Congress... - Revolver News

I assume the CIA denies colluding with the NYT

But we know they are liars

 

[Chillicothe]

"They were WAVED IN BY CAPITOL POLICE who opened the doors. (Honestly, this seems like a fairly clear case of entrapment.)"

1. Of the estimated 2,400 people who entered the Capitol that day at the time of this attack, well, how many were allegedly "waved in by police"?
2. How many entered without any police acquiescence whatsoever?
3. And of those who entered under this alleged "wave-in" interpretation how many of them committed vandalism, defecated or urinated in the hallways or offices? how many stole some object(s)?
4. What should be done with those criminals?
5. And then, more alarmingly ....how many inside or outside the Capitol battled our uniformed police? ---by either resisting, or striking with fists, feet, chemical sprays, tools/weapons?
6. And what should be done about those assaulters?

--------------------------------------------

"Or have him quietly killed."

????????
And there we have it.
And example of one of the reasons that the MAGA/QAnon contributors here are so dissed and dismissed. It is QAnon/MAGA Conspiracy Masturbation that too many of them indulge themselves in.....and expose it on this venue.
Down the Conspiracy Rabbit-Hole.
IMHO

 

[martybegan]

I dunno.
Will welcome credible reportage on the quantity.
Thanx, in advance.

-----------------------------------


Names?
Cases?
Charges?
Jurisdictions?


Show the forum you can and will do homework and demostrate that due diligence has been competently pursued.
-----------------------------------------------------

Patience, Grasshopper.
The perps don't always call in to give themselves up.
Many of the perps hid behind masks.
But, Sedition Hunters, and the FBI have the scent.
I'm optimistically confident that they will hunt down all who CAN be hunted down.

I'd also suggest you be a good citizen and turn in any family, friends, colleagues, or neighbors that you have knowledge were participants in J6.
So, thanx in advance, if you can find it in yourself to do that. And, of course, if you even have J6 Jackasses within your circle.

Take your Stasi mentality and cram it up your probably well used ass.

 

[Delldude]

Then why did so many of them either plead guilty or get convicted by a jury?

In face of a possible 20 year sentence?....if you plead guilty to a lesser charge, 5 months to a year probation and a fine....

 

[Jarlaxle]

In face of a possible 20 year sentence?....if you plead guilty to a lesser charge, 5 months to a year probation and a fine....

After being held without trial for 2 years.

CALL: "Take your Stasi mentality and cram it up your probably well used ass."

RESPONSE: "And there we have it. Another example of one of the reasons that the MAGA/QAnon contributors here are so dissed and dismissed. It is QAnon/MAGA Conspiracy Masturbation that too many of them indulge themselves in.....and expose it on this venue. Down the Conspiracy Rabbit-Hole."
