Jan. 6 rioters who U.S. says 'ignited' path for Capitol attack convicted

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘They were five men from five different states who’d never met each other. But on Jan. 6, 2021, they found themselves together at the front of the angry push by rioters toward the U.S. Capitol. And together, video showed, they lifted a line of five linked barriers and heaved them into a group of five Capitol Police officers with such force that one of the officers went airborne, striking her head and falling briefly unconscious.

The encounter at the Peace Circle, prosecutors said, cleared the first path for rioters to reach the Capitol where Trump supporters on the west side of the building surged forward as the police retreated. The five men continued to wreak havoc, fighting with officers or encouraging other rioters to push ahead, and on Friday a federal judge found all five guilty of assaulting law enforcement and convicted three of them for obstructing the confirmation of the 2020 presidential election.

“These are the defendants who started it,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexandra F. Foster said in her closing argument Nov. 2 to U.S. District Judge Jia M. Cobb, after the defendants chose a bench trial instead of a jury trial. “There is little doubt that this moment ignited a fire that lasted around the Capitol for hours … They started the Capitol breach. Now they must take responsibility.”’

Trump and his fellow insurrectionists committed treasonous, historic crimes: attempting to overturn a presidential election, disenfranchise millions of Americans, and disrupt the peaceful transfer of power – their warranted, lawful prosecutions and convictions are a victory for democracy.

1/6 wasn’t an isolated incident; the right’s war on democracy continues – and when treasonous insurrectionists are lawfully and Constitutionally convicted of their crimes, it’s a victory for democracy in that war.

What did he say he witnessed?

 

[bdtex]

Lock them up!

 

[CrusaderFrank]

What did he say he witnessed?

He claims to have witnessed the OathKeepers attacking Officer Dunn. There is new video of the OathKeepers lined up to PROTECT Officer Dunn, never attacking him or threatening him. In Dunns first FBI interview, he acknowledged that the OathKeepers stepped between him and the crowd. When he later testified in court, he told a totally different story of the OathKeepers threatening him. This was also “backed up” by Nancy Head of Security (Delvaney?) who claimed to have witnessed the OathKeepers incident. Recently released timestamped videotape of both the OathKeepers protecting Dunn and Delvaney in another building during the time of the incident shows this to be physically impossible. I did a separate thread on it and dont want to link to it atm, on mobile, on vacation.

Please look it up, its quite compelling

“There is little doubt that this moment ignited a fire that lasted around the Capitol for hours … They started the Capitol breach. Now they must take responsibility.”’

Was this before or after USCP fired tear gas and flash bangs on the peaceful protest?
