It appears the January 6^th DNC Committee to make not being DNC illegal has come up with a vainglorious claim that is sure to be picked up by all the usual DNC access media such as politicsusa and whatnots (see Yahoo News shrill headline below).

The committee is using words like criminal activity, but fail to cite specific laws, only hints at the possibility there were crimes.  The evidence suggests if we had more evidence he’d be guilty.

Once again, unfortunately for the DNC, we got ourselves another giant squawking nothingburger bird.

• The House panel said the evidence so far indicates Trump tried to obstruct an official proceeding.
• It also said the evidence suggests Trump conspired to defraud the United States and engaged in common law fraud.

The House select committee investigating the Capitol riot said in a new court filing Thursday that it believes former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results violated several laws.

The panel said the evidence it’s gathered so far suggests that Trump tried to obstruct an official proceeding; conspired to defraud the United States; and engaged in common law fraud.

Thursday’s filing is not an indictment and does not charge Trump with a crime. It comes as part of the January 6 committee’s ongoing legal battle with the former law professor and Trump legal advisor John Eastman,…

A 12 year old boy was arrested, handcuffed, and informed he was going to be charged with battery and robbery for allegedly stealing a bike.  The problem was the officer was dead wrong, and the child’s Mother wants to know what led to the suspicion and the arrest in the first place.

The boy is black.  The police were led to approach the boy by unidentified kids who identified him as the assailant.  The cops surrounded the boy and pulled him off the bike, leading him away from the crowd that had already gathered, wondering why this boy was being held for riding his own bike in the first place.

The answers the cops gave were not sufficient.

In the video, there are multiple police cars present.  Multiple officers of multiple races and genders are arresting the boy, handcuffing him, and allegedly informing him he will be charged with battery and assault based on eyewitness testimony alone.

The questions are many, starting with why so many officers were involved in the arrest of a child for stealing a bike and punching a kid.  The next question is why did these police not do a basic investigation before jumping to arresting a boy based on eyewitness testimony alone.  The last question is whether this boy would have been arrested if everyone involved in this situation was white.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled for the U.S. government in a case involving a Guantanamo Bay detainee seeking what the government said is secret information.

Zubaydah was seeking to get the testimony of two former CIA contractors as part of an Polish investigation into his treatment.

“In our view, the Government has provided sufficient support for its claim of harm to warrant application” of the so-called state secrets privilege, he said.
