Newly Revealed Capitol Rioters’ Messages Deal Blow to Democrat-Media-Axis’s Violent Siege Narrative

This bogus “insurrection” tale, designed to distract from the massive election fraud of 2020, has the FBI running around like a headless chicken. Meanwhile, the FBI knew in advance the identity of Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa and the Pulse Nightclub shooter and the Garland jihadis and did nothing. Nothing. San Bernardino terrorists. Boston Marathon Bombers. Garland Texas shooters. Parkland High School shooter. Fort Hood shooter…….

Newly Revealed Capitol Rioters’ Messages Deal Blow to Media’s Violent Siege Narrative

By Kyle Becker

The shadow of the January 6th riots at the U.S. Capitol building has been hovering over the nation for months.

Although the FBI is pursuing criminal offenders who breached the capitol to bring every last one of them to justice, as if they were violent domestic terrorists planning to overthrow the government, newly revealed messages undercut this version of events. Instead, it shows that Capitol riot planners were wrongfully expecting President Donald Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act to maintain power and were preparing for clashes with Antifa activists.

The news came out in court evidence that was released on Tuesday.

“Kelly Meggs, the Florida leader of the Oath Keepers — who’s been charged along with nine others with conspiring to stop Congress from certifying the 2020 election — said in private messages obtained by prosecutors that he’d been in touch repeatedly with Proud Boys leadership in particular. He said he had worked out a strategy to confront potential violence from antifa, a loosely organized collection of left-wing extremists,” Politico reported.

“This week I organized an alliance between Oath Keepers, Florida 3%ers, and Proud Boys,” Meggs wrote on Facebook on December 19 . “We have decided to work together and shut this shit down.”

“We’re going to march with them for awhile then fall to the back of the crowd and turn off,” Meggs continued. “Then we will have the Proud Boys get in front of them the cops will get between antifa and Proud Boys. We will come in behind antifa and beat the hell out of them.”

The issue is that the Antifa contingency that the far-right groups expected to encounter was not readily identifiable. The militaristic gear, which included no known firearms by ny of the defendants, was thus arguably in preparation for a riot with expected Antifa and Black Bloc counter-protesters.

The Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, and 3%ers nonetheless participated in the Capitol breach. It is important to note that none of the Capitol rioters are known to have been armed.

“[W]e stormed and got inside,” Meggs wrote in a Signal chat. “Ok who gives a damn who went in there…. We are now the enemy of the State.” Meggs would write again in the same chat: “We aren’t quitting!! We are reloading!!”

On February 17, Meggs was arrested on a criminal complaint charging him with conspiracy, destruction of government property, obstruction of an official proceeding, and entering a restricted building without lawful authority.

But there are multiple signs that the Department of Justice’s prosecution of Capitol rioters is in danger of serious overreach. In January, it was argued by U.S. attorneys that there were “capture and kill” teams at the Capitol riots who intended to target Congressmembers.

“U.S. prosecutors in Arizona said Thursday in a court filing against Jacob Chansley, also known as the ‘QAnon Shaman,’ that they have ‘strong evidence’ members of the pro-Trump mob wanted to ‘capture and assassinate’ officials,” NPR reported.

But Michael Sherwin, acting U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, later admitted that “investigators have not uncovered direct evidence at this point of any ‘kill/capture teams’ targeting elected officials during the U.S. Capitol insurrection, contradicting allegations made earlier by federal prosecutors in Arizona,” the report noted.

Sherwin more recently appeared on ’60 Minutes’ and made several bombastic claims that may have further damaged the DOJ’s case.

“Michael Sherwin, who until recently was the leader of the Justice Department’s Jan. 6 investigation and the acting U.S. attorney for Washington D.C., told CBS’s ’60 Minutes’ on Sunday that he believes evidence would support a charge of ‘seditious conspiracy’ against some of the rioters,” Politico reported, “a rarely used charge meant to signal an intent to overthrow the government. And anonymous DOJ officials told The New York Times that they believed such a charge would likely be aimed at the Oath Keepers.”

“The reports led a top federal judge to admonish the Justice Department and threaten sanctions Tuesday for comments he said could taint the jury pool and undermine the case against the 10 Oath Keepers,” Politico noted.

“These defendants are entitled to a fair trial, not one that is conducted in the media,” District Court Judge Amit Mehta said in a conference on Tuesday, which included senior supervisors in the U.S. Attorney’s office. “I will not tolerate continued publicity in the media.”

“These kinds of statements in the media have the potential of affecting the jury pool … I intend to enforce that rule vigorously,” said Mehta, who was appointed by former President Obama. “The government, quite frankly, should know better.”

Another thing the government should “know better” about is whether or not Donald Trump himself could be criminally charged for the Capitol riots. Nonetheless, Sherwin again went out on a limb and enaged in irresponsible speculation about the legal matter.
