Seven hours.

For seven hours during the Jan 6 nonsense, nothing in the records turned over to the committee.

I would wonder why, but we all know the answer.

Feds Accused of ‘Double Standard’ in Jan. 6 Prosecutions

U.S. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden accuses the government of having a double standard when it came to punishing mass protests. He criticized U.S. prosecutors for seeking serious jail time for some nonviolent Donald Trump supporters in the Jan. 6 Capitol breach


McFadden spoke out in sentencing a Capitol riot defendant who pleaded guilty to misdemeanor trespassing, arguing that the same prosecutors requesting a sentence of 75 days in jail and one year probation in that case had in 2019 sought 10 days behind bars for a protester during the Kavanaugh hearings.

McFadden also complained last fall that prosecutors were treating pro-Trump rioters more harshly than those who committed violence in D.C. in 2020, after the killing of George Floyd. U.S. prosecutors have asked judges to impose jail time for 12 of about 15 defendants sentenced so far after conviction on the charge of unlawfully entering or remaining in restricted Capitol grounds and judges have agreed in eight of those cases. “I know that the government believes that the January 6th cases are sui generis” — or one of a kind — “and therefore can’t be compared to other cases. But I don’t agree,” said McFadden.

Stewart Rhodes added to Jan. 6 lawsuit against Proud Boys, Oath Keepers
Racine’s suit, the first effort by a government agency to hold individuals and organizations civilly responsible for the violence, added six individuals in an amended complaint filed Friday to the 31 initially named Oath Keepers and Proud Boys defendants. The new defendants include Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, who was charged in January and who has pleaded not guilty to seditious conspiracy; and Matthew Greene, who in late December became the first Proud Boys member named in a lead criminal conspiracy case to plead guilty and cooperate with U.S. prosecutors.

2 men who Googled 'is it illegal to go into the Capitol' were arrested and charged in Capitol riot

Two men accused of storming the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, were arrested last week after their own post-riot Google searches incriminated them in the attack.

Brian Raymond Jones and Patrick John King, of Mount Vernon, Washington, both face four charges related to their roles in the deadly insurrection, including entering and remaining in a restricted building, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in Capitol building.

The FBI was alerted to their participation in February 2021, when an anonymous tipster who has known both men since middle school said they viewed a photo on Facebook Messenger that showed Jones and King smoking pot inside the Capitol during the riot, according to charging documents.

Justice Dept. expands Jan. 6 probe to look at rally prep, financing
Prosecutors have long shown an interest in how those accused of violently breaching the Capitol paid for their travel to Washington and their lodging, and have frequently asked witnesses to explain who covered the cost of their buses and other modes of transportation. Many Jan. 6 defendants appear to have self-organized and paid their own way, or raised money online to pay for travel in groups as large as a 60-vehicle caravan, according to court papers.
