The Jan. 6 Investigation

[Suddenly]

The reason lawyers generally advise their clients not to testify in criminal trials is not because they 'know' or 'think' they're guilty, but because they know that a good prosecutor can confuse a defendant making them contradict themselves or appear like they're lying.

That and it can be used to narrow down facts leading to a false conviction.

Say the cops need to prove two acts to establish guilt. They have some questionable evidence of one act that points towards a person who did not in fact perform that act.

However, that person did perform the second act. The cops have no evidence whatsoever of this.

If our person confesses to that second act it would "tend" to incriminate them in that it would create the illusion that it was more likely they were also the person who performed the first act.

Which is why it is a very bad idea (at least in the US) to talk to police without a lawyer who understands this larger picture.

Expect the usual:

Step 1: Everyone denies.
Step 2: No phone records.
Step 3: Smear campaign.

I would to see Katrina Pierson testify before Congress.

We should place (friendly) bets on if she declares the Fifth.

OK. If you win I'll drink a fifth.

Asked about Johnson’s allegations, Kylie and Amy Kremer responded through their spokesman, Chris Barron.

Does anyone else find that funny?

Heck Trump asked this too. Trump at the White House told supporters "we're going to walk down to the Capitol"

I still laugh when I hear him say “And after this, we’re going to walk down, and I’ll be there with you. We’re going to walk down," and instead he hightails it back to watch it from the safety of the WH. Such a leader!

I laugh when joe Biden, Jen Psaki and FBI members swore that Hunter Biden's laptop story was Russian disinformation (after the 4 years of Russian collusion created by Hillary Clinton) and now that the laptop story was confirmed by the liberal NY Times after Facebook, Twitter and Joke Biden discredited the story before the 2020 election, not a single major news source or social media will admit they lied about the Hunter Biden story.

And before everyone comes to try and tell me I'm wrong, I won't be back to comment anytime soon. Just exposing the utter hypocrisy and lies of the mainstream news, Joke Biden and some of you here.

Since when does the president of the US tell the press that he can't answer questions because he's not allowed to or he'll get in trouble for doing so?

Since when does the US president not remember the names of people he appointed?

Since when is the US president taking so much time off, especially now with the Russian invasion of Ukraine and during the Afghanistan debacle?

Since when does the US president call the VP the first lady or the president of the US?

Yeah, Joe Biden is paving roads with all these firsts.

The NYT has done no such thing. They cite a person who claims some of the files were Hunter Biden's (which is consistent with the laptop being his or a fake such as Russian ops have done in the past). There isn't even confirmation that the files show any wrong doing.

And before everyone comes to try and tell me I'm wrong, I won't be back to comment anytime soon.

Good. Not correcting your lies for your benefit regardless.

They're boring and inane, regardless. Especially after Trump.

We'll see if he likes life better there than here Who knows, maybe it's better. Seriously.

Any of the Jan. 6 rioters with more than a simple misdemeanor charge should be on the 'no-fly' list, especially international

 

[Andy_Ross]

He said he was asking for "government protection" from Belarus because of the "political persecution" he faced in the US, including the FBI questioning his family and using a photo of him on its most-wanted list.

If he thinks that the Biden-led United States is an unacceptably restrictive and oppressive society, Belarus will be a big eye-opener for him.

I expect him to have a jolly time in a Belarus which is reeling from Western sanctions and where (I expect) he doesn't speak the language.

 

[Mongrel]

I'm sure he'll get the red carpet treatment as an Anti-American talking head, he'll probably even end up on Tucker Carlson as a "true patriot driven out of his home & country"
