DHS is celebrating.
Prioritizing "criminal" illegal aliens was always a scam to avoid mass deportations. Now there's a built-in excuse to avoid apprehending the "worst of the worst."
Just a reminder that @dbongino glazed Trump over the Iran war and called everyone a Panican while "live from Tel Aviv" is b-rolling on Fox.
Guys like this own the midterms. Hold them responsible.
It was a surreal moment at Brian Cole Jr court hearing on Wednesday. I even had to ask @RobGouveiaEsq if my ears had deceived me. Prosecutors openly stated they expected interference - from both @CIA and @CapitolPolice - in discovery requests by the defense. I mean … we already knew who we were up against in this fight, but that was a shocking admission.
I’ve told you for a solid year that the pipe bomb event was a “multi-agency conspiracy.” Can you count how many we’re up to thus far?
This stat is insane.
Texas A&M is the first team in college football history to have 450+ total yards of offense, zero turnovers, and score zero touchdowns in the same game.
Just for those needing clarification: This is a catch against 133 FBS teams. Unfortunately, Texas is the 134th. Apparently, the rules come with a burnt-orange exception. 🙄🏈
Pushing back against the Muslim Brotherhood is entirely consistent with American ideals. In fact, defending our constitutional principles, protecting our institutions, and standing against movements that seek to undermine individual liberty and democratic self-government is not only an American right, it is a civic duty. We do not have to tolerate those who seek to dismantle the very freedoms that make a more perfect union possible.
I continue to receive reports that Kash Patel’s leadership team will help reinstate all of the employees he’s fired once Democrats regain control in 2029.
“THIS FBI” is the same as that FBI.
One of the most interesting reveals in the latest court filing from Brian Cole Jr.'s defense team was the wording of this statement from the @FBI Special Agent who examined former @CapitolPolice officer Kerkhoff's personal iPhone:
"...during the timeframe of January 5, 2021, EST, between 7:30pm-8:30pm. SA [redacted] informed that the phone was not the one being used during this time period."
"Not the one being used?" That's especially curious given what we know about the FirstNet phone that pinged within three meters of both bomb drop locations during that time period. (Story below.) What phone, exactly, WAS being used during that time period?
Hey FBI Cyber Guy. Former FBI agent turned podcaster here (because your organization is complete fucking garbage).
You are gonna wanna move your camera up about 3" so you can keep the shitty government ceiling out of your shot in the corner.
Then off center the angle. Otherwise you look like a government hack sitting in a room covered in cheap MDF vinyl coated in a wood pattern sheets from Home Depot. $34.98. Although the fake wood is perfect for a fake agency full of fake statistics pretending it protects people from crimes it either creates or takes create for from local cops. But I get what you are going for...
Me? I use real wood because I have more physical skills than simply tapping on a keyboard like a goon and listening to a cross eyed Indian dipshit who probably gets hit with perjury charges under the next admin.
Anyway, you do you. Seraphin, out.
Brian Cole Jr. Trial: Circumstantial Evidence Cannot Deny Someone Their Constitutional Right to Counsel of Their Choosing
1. The FBI began investigating a CIA officer. They performed a gait analysis on her that could not rule her out. They administered a polygraph that indicated deception regarding whether she planted the pipe bombs. The polygraph interviewer noted that her answers explaining why she failed seemed rehearsed.
2. The FBI ruled the CIA officer out based on a single piece of circumstantial evidence: a time-stamped video that merely contained the voice of the officer. That video, which was recorded on an iPhone 7, appears to have been transferred to an iPhone 12 and provided to the FBI with consent from the iPhone 12. Because the video cannot directly show the presence of the CIA officer, the video itself constitutes circumstantial evidence.
3. The defense seeks to present an alternate-perpetrator case based on the same evidence the FBI developed against the CIA officer. A voice heard on video, timestamped or not, cannot establish presence, leaving the FBI’s investigation incomplete. The defense is seeking the circumstantial evidence surrounding the video, much of which the FBI never obtained—such as acquiring video from the home where the officer is heard on the recording.
4. To avoid providing this material, the prosecution is seeking to remove Brian Cole Jr.’s constitutional right to an attorney of his choosing. Based on circumstantial evidence alone, they claim that no one could possibly believe the CIA officer is innocent; therefore, the lawyers are acting against Cole’s best interests.
To establish this idea, they present a derivative file that merely contains a voice, which cannot, in itself, imply presence. Knowing that the video itself is wholly inadequate to establish innocence, they have introduced additional circumstantial evidence, such as a text from the officer saying they were “coming home!” that occurred 24 minutes before the officer actually drove off.
5. On one hand, the prosecution wants to use circumstantial evidence to bolster their chief piece of circumstantial evidence. On the other hand, they seek to deny the defense that same body of circumstantial evidence from which they are drawing. If that body of circumstantial evidence demonstrated the officer’s innocence, then why not provide it to the lawyers?
The prosecution claims that Litson is acting against Cole’s interests so that they can bolster their civil defamation case. But if the circumstantial evidence shows that the officer is innocent, how would that bolster the civil case? The fact is that this body of evidence cannot act asymmetrically. It will either weaken both the civil and criminal cases, or strengthen both the civil and criminal cases. Apparently, the DOJ is not willing to let the evidence speak for itself—and that is likely because it cannot speak for itself.
