I believe a collection of subversives and terrorists is called a “cell” :thinking:

i’m not entirely sure that’s the story

In a letter obtained by the Project on Government Oversight [staff] accused Cuffari of “significantly editing reports to remove key findings” and “interfering with staff efforts to gather information necessary to perform independent oversight.”

Cuffari, a former adviser to Republican Arizona governors Jan Brewer and Doug Ducey, was nominated by President Trump to become DHS inspector general and confirmed by the Senate in July 2019.

he was their boss, he saw a letter asking for their texts, grabbed their phones, then told congress the phones had been erased (due to “scheduled maintenance”, if memory serves)

it could well be they were doing their job, and cuffari is trying to cover up the requests and chatter sent to them by the white house

Fanone added that he believed the remorse expressed by some Jan. 6 rioters and their relatives is merely performative in order to try and secure more lenient sentences. “His mother stood up and tried to apologize to me in the courtroom,” Fanone said, referring to Young’s mother. “And then later on, as I was leaving the courthouse, his mother and several other individuals who were seated with her in the courtroom again called me a piece of shit. So I think it’s just another example of a January 6 defendant begging for leniency, but in reality there’s no remorse there.”

Here’s another one, not as much prison time as some of the other guys sentenced this week but he’s in his 70s so 46 months is still a non-trivial portion of whatever miserable time he has left on the planet.

From the article:

“This was not my intention whatsoever.” He said he was expecting a party and a “celebration” because he thought that Republicans would stop the certification of Joe Biden’s presidential win.

Can you imagine what a horrifying party that would’ve been?

And certainly, no one could afford the crudités. :roll_eyes:

Yeah, and the more I think about it, even if this guy is totally genuine about what he thought was going to happen, at the time he joined the violent push to breach the Capitol, they hadn’t even given “their side” time to do what they were hoping for.
I’ve been at demos before where we all gather outside the state house anticipating a celebration of some legislation. What we’ve never done is violently storm said building before (or even after) the voting has taken place.

Michigan body builder pleads guilty to assaulting officers during Jan. 6 insurrection | Michigan News | Detroit | Detroit Metro Times

… Barnhart was arrested in Lansing on Aug. 17, 2021.

The FBI had been trying to identify Barnhart for months.

With a photo of Barnhart, Sedition Hunters, online sleuths who team up to help identify insurrectionists, helped track him down using a facial recognition website. They found Barnhart on Instagram, bodybuilding websites, and even on the covers of several romance novels.

After the riot, Barnhart didn’t go into hiding. He often posted videos and photos on Instagram, mocking the FBI and Black Lives Matter and suggesting the insurrection was part of a deep state conspiracy theory.

Barnhart faces up to 20 years in prison when he is sentenced on March 9. Since the riot, more than 870 people have been arrested for their role in the insurrection. Of those, more than 265 were charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement.

At least he’ll have plenty of time to spend bodybuilding. :man_shrugging:

Can’t say much for the quality of the food, though.
