Speaker Johnson Releases Jan 6 Tapes, Trump Says They Will ‘Explicitly Reveal’ What Happened.

Former President Donald Trump lauded Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) for moving to release the entirety of the January 6th tapes to the American public.

“Congratulations to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson for having the Courage and Fortitude to release all of the J6 Tapes,” the former Republican President posted on TruthSocial. Trump added the tapes”…will explicitly reveal what really happened on January 6th!”

Rep. Mike Johnson, the newly elected Speaker of the House, announced earlier today the January 6th tapes would be made available to the public through the Committee on House Administration’s Oversight Subcommittee Reading Room website. As of Friday evening, nearly 23 gigabytes of video files had been uploaded to the website.

“When I ran for Speaker, I promised to make accessible to the American people the 44,000 hours of video from Capitol Hill security taken on January 6, 2021. Truth and transparency are critical,” Speaker Johnson said in a statement. “Today, we will begin immediately posting video on a public website and move as quickly as possible to add to the website nearly all of the footage, more than 40,000 hours.”

Johnson emphasized the the importance of public transparency, something that was sorely lacking during under the Democrat run January 6th Committee which was turned into a partisan, theatrical production by anti-Trump lawmakers. A display of political propaganda more than anything, the January 6th Committee went so far as to hire professional news producers to help stage and elevate the hearings and the content the committee would review.

“This decision will provide millions of Americans, criminal defendants, public interest organizations, and the media an ability to see for themselves what happened that day, rather than having to rely upon the interpretation of a small group of government officials,” Johnson said.

Biden DOJ Pushes For Jan 6 Convicts to Get Even Longer Sentences.

Joe Biden’s Justice Department has filed appeals against the sentencing of Proud Boys handed terms of 15 to 22 years over January 6th, arguing they should be locked up for even longer.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, who is approaching 40, was convicted on Civil War-era seditious conspiracy charges and sentenced to 22 years by U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, despite not actually being in the Capitol on Jan 6. Biden’s Justice Department, which asked for 33 years, insists this isn’t enough.

Prosecutors also requested a sentence of 33 years for Joseph Biggs, 30 years for Zachary Rehl, and 27 years for Ethan Nordean. All received long terms of 17, 15, and 18 years, respectively. Ghis has not satisfied the Justice Department, and their sentences are also being appealed.

Defense attorneys have branded the Biden regime’s efforts to increase the sentences “ridiculous,” and expressed confidence their own planned appeals to quash their clients’ convictions will prevail.

AIDSurrection! Protesters Storm Speaker’s Office at U.S. Capitol.

Demonstrators demanding that Congress reauthorizes the President’s Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) – an international HIV/AIDS relief program – stormed the office of Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Monday. Six of the activists who entered and then occupied the Speaker’s office were arrested by the Capitol Police. Their hands were bound with zip ties instead of handcuffs, a common practice used for mass arrests during political protests where the arrested individuals are booked on minor charges and promptly released.

Conservative commentator Byron York pointed out on X (formerly Twitter) that the six arrested protestors could be charged, albeit unlikely, with several serious crimes including “1) Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building or Grounds; 2) Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building; 3) Impeding Passage Through the Capitol Grounds or Buildings; 4) Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building…”.

The punishment for the charges vary, though each carries a maximum 6 months to a year in prison.

Protestors who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 have been handed sentences far in excess of those usually handed down for unlawful behavior in government buildings. Over 1,000 of the protestors present that day have been arrested, nearly 500 have received sentences, and 277 have been given prison time. The prison sentences have ranged from as little as 3 years to upwards of 20 years or more.

Ex Trump Advisor Peter Navarro Found Guilty of Contempt of Congress.

Former Trump White House trade adviser Peter Navarro was found guilty of two counts of contempt of Congress by a Washington, D.C. jury on Thursday, having failed to comply with a partisan subpoena issued by House Democrats as part of their sham investigation of the January 6th protests. Each count carries a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of one year in prison, as well as a maximum fine of $100,000.

“I have been stripped, stripped of virtually every defense by the court and yet there is some defense left and the reality here is the government has not proved his case,” Navarro told the press outside the D.C. federal courthouse prior to the jury reaching a verdict on Thursday.

“Please understand that the Biden-weaponized Department of Justice is the biggest law firm in the world. That’s what I’m fighting against.”

Navarro’s legal team argued that federal prosecutors could not conclusively show that he willfully refused to comply with the congressional subpoena. In his closing remarks Stanley Woodward, Navarro’s attorney, told jurors: “The government provided no evidence about that. Do we know that his failure to comply beyond a reasonable doubt was not the result of inadvertence, accident, or mistake?”

The Select Committee on the January 6 Attack was formed in July of 2021 when Democrats held the majority in the House of Representatives. Congressional Democrats turned the committee into an elaborate and partisan show-trial against former President Donald Trump – going so far as to hire a ‘producer’ to ensure the committee’s televised hearings had the maximum political impact. The committee was dissolved in January of this year after Republicans assumed control of the House following the 2022 mid-term elections, though GOP representatives have done little to reverse the damage done by former Speaker Pelosi’s partisan operation.

Jack Smith, Letitia James Want Trump to Stop Defending Himself.

Department of Justice (DOJ) special prosecutor Jack Smith accused former President Donald Trump of making “daily extrajudicial statements that threaten to prejudice the jury pool” in a Washington, D.C. court filing – in an apparent attempt to muzzle the 2024 presidential candidate. At the same time, New York Attorney General Letitia James wants Donald Trump, Eric Trump, and their lawyers fined tens of thousands of dollars for defending themselves against a civil fraud lawsuit she is pursuing, alleging their legal arguments are “frivolous”.

Former President Trump’s defense team is asking for two weeks to review and respond to Smith’s filing before details are made public on the court docket, with the DOJ team arguing that a delay for would “grind litigation in this case to a halt.” The two week response time for a defendant is standard court procedure.

Judge Chutkan asked that both the Trump legal team and Jack Smith submit additional briefs on whether to unseal the Smith filing by next week. The Trump legal team must have their briefs before Judge Chutkan on September 11th, and Smith by September 13th.

Meanwhile, the New York AG claims attorneys for the Trumps and their business associates should not be disputing whether she has standing to bring the case, insisting the question has already been settled. She wants the defendants and their lawyers fined $10,000 each for even trying to make their case.

James’s lawsuit aims to hit Trump’s business with a quarter of a billion dollars in sanctions and effectively prevent it from continuing to operate in the Empire State. The case has been pursued at considerable expense for years now, despite more serious issues such as rising felony assault and grand larceny auto offenses going unchecked.

Newly released data suggests it is almost impossible for Donald Trump to receive a fair trial in Washington, D.C., with two-thirds of residents polled in the nation’s capital say they believe Trump is guilty even though a trial has yet to begin.

Jack Montgomery and Will Upton contributed to this report.

Tucker: Democrats Are ‘Speeding Towards Assassinating’ Trump.

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said the escalating partisan attacks on former President Trump have left him believing that Democrats are “speeding towards assassination” as a final resort to stop the Republican presidential frontrunner from retaking the White House.

Carlson laid out, during an interview with Adam Carolla, his logic regarding the escalating political conflict between Democrats and Trump:

They protested him. They called him names. He won anyway. They impeached him, twice, on ridiculous pretenses. They fabricated a lot about what happened on January 6th in order to impeach him again. It didn’t work. He came back, then they indicted him. It didn’t work, he became more popular. Then they indicted him three more times. And every single time his popularity rose. So if you begin with criticism, then you go to protest, then you go to impeachment, now you go to indictment – and none of them work, what’s next? I mean, graph it out man. We’re speeding towards assassination, obviously. And no one will say that but I don’t know how you can’t reach that conclusion.

This isn’t the first time that Carlson has broached the possibility that Democrats might foment violence against former President Trump. While the other 2024 Republican presidential candidates debated in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on August 23rd, Trump sat down for an interview with Carlson.

The former Fox News host pointedly asked Trump about the possibility of Left-wing inspired assassination plot against him, “Are you worried they’re going to try and kill you? Why wouldn’t they try and kill you?” Trump responded calling his persecutors “…savage animals, they’re people that are sick…” adding, “I’ve seen the lengths that they go to… I think they hate our country.”

Trump brushed off the concern for his life – emphasizing that not all of his partisan opponents are bad people – telling Tucker: “You have great people in the Democrat Party, you have great people that are Democrats. Most of the people in our country are fantastic and I’m representing everybody. Not just Republicans or conservatives. I represent everybody, I’m the president of everybody.

DOJ Fines Musk’s X (Twitter) for Fighting Unconstitutional Trump Warrant.

Court documents show Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) tried to fight a DOJ search warrant filed by the foreign-dwelling, Obama-linked “special prosecutor” Jack Smith, who was seeking access to former President Donald Trump’s infamous social media account. X’s primary objection was to an unusual gag order attached to the warrant, which would have prevented the social media firm notifying Trump that the DOJ now had access to his account, including private, direct messages.

Lawyers for X argued that the order attached to the warrant violated the First Amendment. When the social media company delayed handing over the account access to the DOJ by an additional three days, a federal judge held the company in contempt and fined them $350,000. After the fine, X complied with the warrant and gag order.

On January 8, 2021, President Donald Trump was permanently suspended from Twitter (now X) following the events of January 6th.  Twitter, then under the leadership of its former-CEO and co-founder Jack Dorsey, caved to left-wing demands that the President be suspended for inciting violence, despite the fact that Trump had authored several tweets calling for peaceful and non-violent protests. The next day, Trump made a speech condemning the reports of “violence, lawlessness, and mayhem” that had occurred around the Capitol.

When Elon Musk took over Twitter on October 27, 2022 he indicated he would explore reinstating Trump’s Twitter account. The former President’s account was reinstated just under a month later on November 19, 2022 after Musk had asked Twitter users their opinion via a Twitter poll – 51.8 percent of participants supported reinstating the account that Jack Smith and Joe Biden’s DOJ now have access to.

Unearthed Jan 6 Cop VIDEO: ‘Going Undercover as Antifa in the Crowd’.

Footage shot by a police officer at the infamous January 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol reveals him telling uniformed colleagues “we go undercover as Antifa in the crowd,” adding to the mountain of evidence that there was significant law enforcement presence among the protesters, as well as provocations from government operatives.

The short clip going viral on social media has been excerpted from a much longer recording uploaded to the Rumble video-sharing site, with the policeman making his comments to Capitol officers suffering the effects of pepper spray.

He then heads down to the barriers separating police and protesters – remaining on the police side of the barrier – and records scuffles from a distance for just short of an hour.

The news comes days after The National Pulse exclusively released clips from the Tucker Carlson interview with former Capitol Police Chief Steve Sund, which Fox News attempted to suppress. The interview, never released before The National Pulse provided it to the public, shows Sund calling the day’s events a “cover-up” as well as detailing the high level of undercover government agent activity in the crowd.

“It sounds like a number of the intelligence agencies had resources in the crowd,” Sund asserts, to which Carlson responds: “In the parlance of the internet, it was crawling with feds?”

“There was a fair amount of law enforcement in the crowd,” Sund replied.

EXC: ‘It Was Crawling With Feds’ – Capitol Police Chief Confirms FBI, DHS Undercovers in Jan 6 Crowd.

Former Capitol Hill Police Chief Steven Sund told Tucker Carlson “there was a fair amount of law enforcement” in the January 6th crowd, in footage exclusively obtained by The National Pulse. The bombshell news follows revelations that Sund had called the events surrounding the Capitol riot “a cover up,” adding his concerns over provocateurs like Ray Epps.

Over halfway through the interview hidden by Fox News following Tucker Carlson’s firing, Sund explains that it is normal for Secret Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) to have a few undercover assets in large crowds gathered in the nation’s capital. But the 18 or so FBI agents present, plus an estimated 20 from the Department of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) was remarkably high.

Sund stunningly reveals: “Within a few days of January 6th I had media reach out to me and say ‘Hey, you’re aware the FBI had undercovers in the crowd?’. I was like, ‘Oh no, they would have told me’. I had Steve D’Antuono, the head of the [FBI] Washington Field Office on a call the day before. Didn’t say anything to me about it… and now to see, allegedly, according to the GAO report, they had 18 operatives in the crowd? That’s a lot of operatives.”

The Capitol Hill top cop, forced out by Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the aftermath of January 6th, went on to explain that during incidents like IMF protests in 2000, and the Bush inauguration, it was commonplace for his department to have intelligence briefings with the FBI, alongside a ‘Joint Intelligence Bulletin’ (JIB).

“None of that [happened for Jan 6],” Sund explained, “No conference call.”

Tucker Carlson pressed Sund for clarification: “You think 18 is a lot for that kind of an event?”

“I think so,” replies Sund, adding that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had 20 HSI operatives in the crowd several thousand.

“It sounds like a number of the intelligence agencies had resources in the crowd,” Sund asserts, to which Carlson responds: “In the parlance of the internet, it was crawling with feds?”

“There was a fair amount of law enforcement in the crowd,” Sund replies.

In over 30 years of service in the police, Sund says he has never seen anything like that in terms of sheer numbers of undercover operatives from across government agencies.
