Who can identify the five lies in Trump’s 8:17 AM Tweet on his upcoming Stop the Steal insurrection?

[Billiejeens]

No! Unlike Trump If you respect the Constitution it is clear Pence had constitutional authority to open envelopes and nothing more.

​

The vice president's role as laid out by the Constitution and a 19th-century law is ceremonial, though, and Pence has no real power beyond reading a script, opening envelopes that show states' electoral votes and announcing Biden as the winner. Trump presses, but Pence tells him he can't reject Biden's win before Congress​

that is simply false
thank you.

The Constitution is also quite simple. I can’t understand why you don’t believe in it.

The 12th Amendment states that, "The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted; the person having the greatest number of votes for President, .. . . SHALL BE THE ******* PRESIDENT

Certificates come in sealed envelopes - Pence opens them - simple.

Ethan Nordean after his arrest spoke about Trump: "We are now and always have been on our own. So glad he was able to pardon a bunch of degenerates as his last move and shit on us on the way out," Nordean said in an expletive-laden message about the former president. "**** you trump you left us on [t]he battle field bloody and alone."

NFBW wrote: do you still believe in your original knee-jerk reaction to the Jan6 riot? The leader of the Proud Boys on that date in DC does not appear to be a left wing agitator.

Ethan Nordean Age: 30 - Arrested or charged on: Feb. 3, 2021 - Home state: Washington
Charges: Conspiracy; obstructing or impeding an official proceeding; aiding and abetting; knowingly entering or remaining in restricted building or grounds; and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

What happened: There Nordean, an officer with the Seattle chapter of the Proud Boys, marched with a group of known Proud Boys during the riot, entered the Capitol and was near the front of a crowd that confronted and outnumbered police, the Department of Justice said in a news release. He posted messages as early as December on social media indicating he was planning to engage in conflict, the release said. For example, he posted looking for donations of protective gear and communications equipment and stated "Let them remember the day they decided to make war with us." Nordean is listed as a manager in a Florida-registered corporation with two otherwise Proud Boys who have been arrested, Enrique Tarrio arrested in D.C. on Jan. 4 and Joe Biggs, who was charged for participating in the riot. https://www.usatoday.com/storytelling/capitol-riot-mob-arrests/ In a video posted Jan. 4, Nordean said the Proud Boys were going to "bring back that original spirit of 1776 of what really established the character of what America is. And it’s not complacency, it’s not low standards. It’s ‘this is how it’s going to be, and I don’t give a goddamn,'" according to the FBI. Later in the same video, Nordean said "No democracy, no peace." On Jan. 8, the FBI reports Nordean posted a photo of a Capitol Police officer administering pepper spray during the riot with the caption: "if you feel bad for the police, you are part of the problem. . ." In a March 1 filing, federal government attorneys said Nordean was nominated within the Proud Boys to have "war powers" after Tarrio's arrest, and to "take ultimate leadership of the Proud Boys’ activities on January 6, 22JAN06-POST#1108

https://www.usatoday.com/storytelling/capitol-riot-mob-arrests/
What happened: Eleven different tipsters identified Secor to the FBI, providing copies of photos and videos of him inside the Senate chamber and sitting in the chair of the presiding officer on the dais, the agency stated in court documents. In the photos, the UCLA student is wearing a red Make America Great Again hat and carrying an America First flag. The FBI said Secor is a self-identified Groyper, a network of "alt right figures who are vocal supporters of white supremacist and 'America First' podcaster Nick Fuentes. The FBI stated a tipster reported Secor founded the campus organization "America First Bruins" and is a member of Bruins Republicans. The FBI stated Secor can be seen in a group of rioters pushing their way into the building. Court documents state a tipster told the FBI that Secor moved back in with his mother after the riot, got rid of his phone and car and bragged that he would not be caught for his involvement. The organization Left Coast Right Watch previously reported that Secor was one of the young men from southern California who chanted and shouted "America First" and streamed video of themselves tearing down the silver monolith that appeared in California last April. 22JAN06-POST#1109

INVESTIGATIONS - March 24, 20216:39 PM ET TOM DREISBACH

screen-shot-2021-03-23-at-12.40.30-pm-36b66919596de68af5cbfdcfbc0ec4550b284c9f-s800-c85.webp

The FBI started investigating UCLA student Christian Secor in late January, after receiving tips about his alleged involvement in the U.S. Capitol riot. This surveillance photo of Secor is cited in the government's application for a search warrant.

Department of Justice

Federal judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee and a former Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Justice Department, ruled that the student, Christian Secor, should be released. The court ruled that Secor will be subject to GPS monitoring and must surrender access to firearms and his passport, among other conditions. Secor has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Still, while Judge McFadden ruled that the government did not provide enough evidence to keep Secor locked up pending trial, he said that, "I understand why the government is concerned."

Federal prosecutors argued that Secor poses a danger to the community, and could attempt to flee.

In a search of his mother's home, where he was living, "law enforcement found three knives and a baton in the defendant's vehicle, mace and body armor plates in the defendant's bedroom, and a privately manufactured 'ghost gun' in a gun safe in the house," federal prosecutors said in a court filing. "Ghost gun" is a term for a firearm that is privately made - sometimes by hobbyists at home - and has no serial number, making it untraceable. California law requires that owners of such guns obtain a serial number for it from the state government, and restricts their sales. None of the charges against Secor relate to the gun. 22JAN06-POST#1109

A Jan. 6 rioter who bragged that she wouldn't go to prison is sentenced to two months​

November 4, 20212:19 PM ET
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A real estate agent from suburban Dallas who flaunted her participation in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol on social media and later bragged she wasn't going to jail because she is white, has blond hair and a good job was sentenced on Thursday to two months behind bars.
While some rioters sentenced for the same misdemeanor conviction have received only probation or home confinement, prosecutors sought incarceration for Jennifer Leigh Ryan of Frisco, Texas, saying she has shown a lack of candor and remorse for her actions when the pro-Trump mob attacked the Capitol building and delayed Congress' certification of Joe Biden's Electoral College victory.
They also said Ryan's belief that she's shielded from punishment shows she doesn't grasp the seriousness of her crime.
Ryan wasn't facing a felony for more serious conduct, but U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper said she was still among the mob who overnumbered police in an attack that led to the deaths of five people and will have a lasting effect on government institutions 22JAN06-POST#1110
