Newly-minted Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker was off to a poor start during her first day at the helm Sunday when during her exclusive interview with former President Donald Trump she became the latest member of the leftist media to deny Democrats support for killing babies in the womb in the 8th or 9th month of pregnancy. The fact that it’s in the 2020 Democrat Party platform doesn’t seem to matter to leftists like Welker.
If Willis is to be believed, a person need not commit or agree to commit any statutory crime in order to be guilty of RICO conspiracy.
Oh, about those 161 “overt acts” in furtherance of a RICO conspiracy that Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis trumpeted in the first few dozen pages of her mammoth indictment of Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants. Never mind. Turns out, according to Willis, that those 161 acts don’t really define the sprawling conspiracy to — well, to do something. They just give you some flavor.
The only thing that gets prosecutors angrier than challenging the authority of the government for which they work is then insisting on your right to a jury trial.
That’s how members of the “western chauvinist” Proud Boys, and leader Enrique Tarrio in particular, ended up with sentences suitable for murderers after their participation in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
I have not done a deep dive into the treatment of the January 6th prisoners, not because I don’t have opinions, but because I don’t have educated opinions regarding what is happening in Washington to these people.
Jan 6 trials has been a horrific abuse of the law.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has released a full list of fugitives wanted over their alleged role in the January 6, 2021, uprising at the U.S. Capitol amid reports of a growing number of defendants who have absconded instead of facing trial.
Seven individuals are still being sought by federal investigators after being indicted on charges relating to the incident, including four who are accused of assaulting law enforcement officers. The FBI has released images of the people they wish to apprehend and is calling for the public’s assistance in identifying the individuals.
Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the Proud Boys, was sentenced on Tuesday to 22 years in prison for the central role he played in organizing a gang of his pro-Trump followers to attack the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and stop the peaceful transfer of presidential power.
Mr. Tarrio’s sentence, stemming from his conviction this spring on charges of seditious conspiracy, was the most severe penalty handed down so far to any of the more than 1,100 people charged in connection with the Capitol attack — and was likely to remain that way, given that no other defendants currently face accusations as serious as the ones he did.
If there were, the Justice Department would already have brought charges against him.
You know insurrection is a crime, right?
Just to recap, under Section 2383 of the federal criminal code, a person is guilty of a felony, punishable by up to ten years’ imprisonment, if he
incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto.
Efforts to remove the district attorney of Fulton County, Fani Willis, from her post could soon shine a spotlight on an avant-garde law that grants power to remove prosecutors to lawmakers rather than voters or governors.
Georgia’s law launched on July 1 and will begin to field complaints on October 1, just months before President Trump and 18 other defendants will stand trial at a Fulton County courthouse. Ms. Willis has decried it as “racist” — now, she might have to back up that charge in court.
Dominic Pezzola, the Proud Boy who used a police shield to smash his way into the US Capitol, yelled “Trump won” as he was jailed for 10 years by a federal judge in Washington on Friday.
Proud Boy leader, Ethan Nordean, 33, was also sentenced to 18 years in prison, after being convicted of seditious conspiracies and serious felonies in May. The sentence is the longest punishment in the case so far.

It’s a perfect example of the state of modern journalism. A “National Politics Reporter” for The Daily Beast set out to dunk on an interview John Solomon did with former President Donald Trump at Real America’s Voice, suggesting the voice on the phone was either an impersonator or AI, and ended up getting punked himself.
Democrats shoot themselves in the foot yet again
The celebrated Donald Trump mugshot is not an isolated instance of the Democrats shooting themselves in the foot.
Just to save the ‘Biden Crime Family’, as some conservative commentators describe them, the Democrats are engaging in a disgraceful campaign that involves them regularly shooting themselves in both feet.

Proud Boy Joe Biggs on Thursday was sentenced to 17 years in prison, the second-highest sentence handed down to anyone convicted in connection with the Capitol attack.
Biggs was convicted of sedition and other serious felonies earlier this year after being accused of leading members of the right-wing extremist group to the Capitol and talking with the first rioter to breach police barricades just minutes before he acted.
Update: Proud Boy Zachary Rehl receives 15 years in prison, half of government request

No serious prosecutor committed to the rule of law would even consider bringing charges in Fulton County.
Lost in the media frenzy surrounding the pre-trial maneuvering in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ RICO case against former President Donald Trump and 18 others is any discussion of what actually happened in the conduct of the 2020 election in Georgia.
The centerpiece of Willis’ case is an hour-long conference call in which Trump told Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, “What I want to do is this. I just want to find, uh, 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won the state.”

Former US President Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty in his Georgia election fraud case, waiving the right to appear in court next week.
Mr Trump is among 19 people charged with a conspiracy to overturn the US state’s 2020 vote results.
He turned himself in at Fulton County Jail in Atlanta last week, where he had his mugshot taken.
Mr Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, describing the case as politically motivated.
Why do they believe the problems he has faced will miraculously disappear for their preferred candidate?
Why does the Never-Trump crowd, the earnest viewers of the Republican primary debate, believe that the tactics used against Donald Trump won’t be used against their preferred candidate? Why can’t they explain how Nikki Haley wins the primary, never mind the general election? Or how does Ron DeSantis overcome the structural fraud problems in every state with a Soros secretary of state?
