Another January 6 Lie: No ‘Armed Mob’

Loading

by Julie Kelly

To hear Andrew McCarthy tell it, Donald Trump’s racuous speech at the Ellipse on January 6 ended with a “Braveheart” moment when the president beseeched his throng of weapon-wielding supporters to attack government leaders at the U.S. Capitol that afternoon.
 
Last week’s testimony by Cassidy Hutchinson, the junior White House aide who made a number of dubious claims under oath, has been accepted as fact by most of the corporate news media and NeverTrump pundits including McCarthy, as I explained here. In response to leading questions by Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), Hutchinson claimed both the president and chief of staff Mark Meadows knew by mid-morning that the crowd was filled with “armed” supporters but Trump nonetheless urged those alleged self-styled soldiers to head to Capitol Hill as the joint session of Congress was underway.
 
In a clip of her closed-door testimony to the committee—the loquacious aide met three times with committee investigators talking for roughly 20 hours relying at times on a thick folder of notes—Hutchinson ticked off a list of weapons allegedly confiscated by 10 a.m. as rally-goers passed through security screeners known as magnetometers. Reading from a page in her binder, Hutchinson recalled a conversation with deputy White House chief of staff Tony Ornato, who described the cache to Meadows and her. “I remember Tony mentioning knives, guns in the form of pistols and rifles, um, bear spray, body armor, spears, and flagpoles,” she said.
 
She further stated that Ornato informed the president about the seized weapons but Trump dismissed any concern and instead instructed his team to “take the effing mags away,” referring to the magnetometers, Hutchinson claimed.
 
Cheney added more flair to the dramatic scenario by playing radio transmissions she said were obtained from the D.C. Metro Police department. One dispatcher reported that “three men walking down the street in fatigues carrying AR-15 . . . at 14th and Independence.” Another recording indicated a man with a “rifle” was seen near the Ellipse.
 
Setting aside serious questions as to why these men weren’t found and arrested given their close proximity not only to the president but numerous government officials present at the rally that morning, if true, how is that Trump’s fault? Why did Cheney assume the alleged “armed” men were Trump supporters? She had no other identifying information like, say, an arrest record detailing the motive of the suspects. Who were they? Were their weapons even real? Loaded?
 
Further, the idea of armed marauders freely roaming downtown D.C. with impunity is absurd; the place was crawling with both undercover and uniformed agents from multiple law enforcement agencies.
 
The implausibility of Cheney’s story did not discourage the January 6 echo chamber rom running with it, full bore. “Trump knew, in the moments before he took to the podium to give his rambunctious Ellipse speech, that the mob was armed to the teeth, including with firearms,” McCarthy wrote in the New York Post on June 29. “He knew an armed mob would be headed to the Hill. Yet, he intentionally whipped them up with his speech. What’s more, he intended personally to lead the protest march. The patent purpose was to intimidate.”
 
The January 6 committee posted a tweet shortly after Hutchinson’s performance claiming “Trump wanted to go to the Capitol with the armed mob, despite warnings not to do so from his advisors.” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), always the victim, whined that lawmakers were “sitting ducks” on January 6. “The leader of the executive branch instructed an armed + dangerous mob to attack the legislative branch,” Swalwell tweeted. “We will not move on from this. We will not forget this. We will not forgive this.”
 
His colleague, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) demanded Trump be sent to jail for attempting an armed “coup.”
 
Of course, it only would have required the most cursory search to discover whether a mob of Trump supporters “armed to the teeth, including with firearms” actually existed; if a “conservative” influencer had any interest in being honest with his readers rather than acting as a reckless propaganda organ for Cheney and House Democrats, said influencer quickly would learn that a total of 13 people have been arrested for firearms violations related to the events of January 6; only six face firearms charges in the Justice Department’s Capitol breach probe.
 
Of the six, three men—Guy Reffitt, Mark Mazza, and Mark Ibrahim—are accused of being on Capitol grounds on January 6. None entered the building. Ibrahim was an agent with the Drug Enforcement Agency and was off-duty at the time; neither Reffitt nor Mazza attempted to use their firearm on January 6. Both were arrested months after the protest.
 
[the_ad id=”157875″]
 
Law enforcement found firearms in the truck of Lonnie Coffman, who parked his vehicle near Capitol Hill that morning after driving to D.C. from Alabama, on the evening of January 6. (It’s unclear whether Coffman attended Trump’s speech and there are no photographs of Coffman on Capitol grounds.) When police confronted Coffman, 70, they found two loaded pistols on his person. He has been sentenced to 46 months in prison after pleading guilty to two firearms violations.
 
Christopher Alberts was arrested around 7:30 p.m. on Capitol grounds after police discovered a 9 mm pistol in his pocket. Alberts’ charging documents do not mention his attendance at Trump’s speech or at the protest earlier in the day. Police also found guns and ammunition on January 7 in a vehicle belonging to Cleveland Meredith, Jr., but he was not accused of bringing any weapons to Trump’s speech or to the Capitol the day before. Meredith pleaded guilty to one count of interstate communications of threat.
 
So, just to restate for the willfully ignorant in the back row: Out of hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters in Washington, D.C. and a few thousand who then walked to the Capitol, only six have been charged for possessing firearms—and one left his guns in his vehicle. (That’s also assuming Alberts is a Trump supporter.)
 
And what about the so-called “militia groups” who breached the Capitol that day? Roughly three-dozen members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers face criminal charges, including the rare count of seditious conspiracy. Not a single member of the Oath Keepers has been charged with a weapons offense let alone a firearms violation. In fact, those who traveled to D.C. with guns were very careful, as court documents prove, to leave weapons at their hotel rooms in Virginia rather than take them to the capital on January 6.

Once again I say, if you have to lie to promote your opinion, maybe your opinion simply isn’t worth a shit.

Georgia Grand Jury subpoena list: Lindsey Graham, Rudy Giuliana, John Eastman, Jenna Ellis, Cleta Mitchell, Jacki Pick Deason, and Kenneth Chesebro.

These special invitations cannot be blown off without consequences.

“Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime” only works in a country with a disarmed population.

Good luck.

Democrats’ true colors are bleeding through, day by day, and they sure as hell aren’t red, white, and blue. The Federal Government is losing authority with each passing moment.

Maybe they’re going to show you actual criminals, guilty of actual crimes. Anyone paying attention to the known facts, to the sworn testimony, and to what they’ve seen on videotape with their own eyes knows that’s a distinct possibility.

You’ve got to filter all of that out, and unquestioningly believe the words of known liars who haven’t been willing to testify under oath to think otherwise.

The “stolen election” wasn’t just a lie. It was a damn conspiracy. It as a failed coup attempt that has been transformed into a quarter-of-a-billion-dollar fundraising scam.

What was attempted is a crime of the most dangerous sort. It was a crime that could kill a democracy, sink a republic, and break up a nation.

You are pissing in the wind. The j6 klown show has nothing, zip, zero, nada

So for you it’s guilty until proven innocent. That’s not how our system of justice is supposed to work.
But then again you bought into the Bob Mueller show and got played for a sucker.

It’s also “Cling to this lie until we find another lie.”

You’ve got to filter all of that out, and unquestioningly believe the words of known liars who haven’t been willing to testify under oath to think otherwise.

You filter out and bury the facts so that only your self-serving lies remain.

The “stolen election” wasn’t just a lie. It was a damn conspiracy.

You refer, of course, to your Democrats’ 2016 claims that Trump “stole” the election, was a Russian asset and was illegitimate. Of course, you were all proven to be lying, crying, denying sore losers.

STATE FARM ARENA. Election fraud ground zero and the first example.

State Farm Arena! Where vote tabulating was suspended for roughly two hours to fix a plumbing problem. Vote counting resumed. That’s it. That’s what happened. In Deplorable Me’s warped world, counting votes is evidence of fraud.

Buddy, any chance of facing reality any time soon?

State Farm Arena! Where vote tabulating was suspended for roughly two hours to fix a plumbing problem. 

State Farm Arena, where counting was shut down and all the observers sent home for the night because of a “water main break”… which was proven a lie. THEN counting began again. The same “pause” happened in every swing state.

Why was there a fake water main break? Why were observers sent home? Why did they resume counting without the required observers?

Yeah, THAT’S the reality, scooter.

As it’s been explained to you over and over again, there indeed was a plumbing problem that needed to be fixed. Most observers did indeed go home. There are no “required observers.” Members of both parties may indeed observe. But vote counting isn’t halted because observers aren’t there. You just make this stuff up.

As it’s been explained to you over and over again, there indeed was a plumbing problem that needed to be fixed.

It was called a “water main break” and counting was declared over for the night. It should have never resumed after the observers were sent home. Then, as in the other states that had the “pause”, a mysterious spike in idiot Biden votes appears.

The observers are a requirement. Both parties get to be there. Cool down, scooter… you don’t have your totalitarian police state… YET.

The evidence of the rampant election fraud is clear. The Party who spent over 4 years backing a criminally created Russia Collusion hoax, and lie after lie about Trump, is CERTAINLY going to stomp and deny and lie about the clear evidence.

From Hawkkfish’s NLP, to the mules, to State Farm, to truckers full of ballots, to coolers, to Eric Coomer, to laws being passed THAT COULD NOT PASS for vote counting, it’s very very clear.

Biden won nothing.

Maybe they’re going to show you actual criminals, guilty of actual crimes.

After they illegally jail Trump and their other political opponents, after the vice closes down and they start coming for normal citizens, I hope it’s YOU that tries to come for me and other patriots.

I want to see what kind of useful cuck you really are, greg…how far you’ll REALLY go to realize this new dictatorship you seem so keen on.

Of course, you’ll probably have Russian tanks at your door by then…being that you are obviously in Central Europe.

I thought it was illegal election tampering to be investigating a potential Presidential candidate?

Maybe they’re going to show you actual criminals, guilty of actual crimes. Anyone paying attention to the known facts, to the sworn testimony, and to what they’ve seen on videotape with their own eyes knows that’s a distinct possibility.

Thats a hot one!
2000 mules, sworn written statements of election volunteers, witnesses to election tampering or worse all ignored by YOU.
We saw a 2 cold blooded murders by Capitol Police so far, an Antifa punk break a window get paid by your propaganda pushers, he isnt sitting in jail without charges as a political prisoner.

2000 Mules is a movie. Movies are not reality.

Wow, such a strong argument. Moron

“2000 Mules” Investigator Gregg Phillips Announces Investigative Team Has Identified Unique Devices from Inside the TCF Center During Late Night 2020 Election Ballot Dump

On Tuesday, November 3rd President Trump was ahead of Joe Biden in the swing state of Michigan by over 100,000 votes. This appeared to be another solid win for President Trump in Michigan with a greater margin than his 2016 victory. The ballot counting in Detroit, Michigan on election night took place at the TCF Center, formerly known as Cobo Hall.
This is the site where Detroit City Officials put cardboard over the windows to prevent the GOP observers from seeing in, where poll workers were militantly hostile to the GOP observers, and where hundreds of affidavits by election observers claim they witnessed voter fraud.

“…defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic…”
– open borders, 3M invaders
– energy independence destroyed
– criminal DOJ defies SCOTUS
– suing AZ to allow illegal invaders to vote
If Biden doesn’t qualify as a domestic enemy, please explain who would.
Honor oath or resign.

Why isn’t all of the compelling evidence of Trump’s “massive election fraud” laid out for public examination online?

The question is totally obvious reality test that has only one logical answer: BECAUSE THERE IS NONE. No other answer makes sense.

2000 Mules is a propaganda movie. You should stop calling people who point that fact out ‘morons’.

It is, stupid. You’ve been provided it. I have provided you all three chapters of the Navarro report and MUCH has been discovered since then. You simply like the fact that your scumbag Democrats cheated themselves into office.

Because greg would not know his ass from a hole in the ground

Nope. You’ve never provided a damn thing but endless links to right-wing conspiracy theory outlets. Many of the claims aren’t just false—they’re ludicrous.

If there were credible evidence of Trump’s “massive election fraud,” it would all be posted online in one location where everyone could see it. It would have carried the day in court. It hasn’t been presented anywhere—including sixty-plus courtrooms where complaints were filed—because IT DOESN’T EXIST. It’s no more real than the submitted credentials of their fake electors.

Giuliani wouldn’t even state in court under oath that the election was stolen. They’re a pack of liars, cheats, and swindlers, plain and simple. You not only let them into the White House, and shielded them through two impeachment hearings—you’d do so again, despite endless damning sworn testimony from republicans who saw what happened from the inside.

You bought into 2years of fraud with Bobby Mueller and the boys. Your credibility on what is true or fiction is non existent.

You bought into a mentally unbalanced conman from Queens as the savior of the nation, and still haven’t figured this out 6 years later. You also think Putin invaded Ukraine to save the people he’s murdering from Nazis, and that women should not be allowed to decide whether or not to give birth. Some might question your judgement about who is and isn’t credible.

Go look in the mirror. There you will find mentally unbalanced looking right back at you. I’ve never called Trump a savior. Facts really do escape you. AGAIN YOU bought into a FAKE narrative for two years with Trump/Russia collusion. Not me. I have given no reason at all for Putin’s invasion of Ukraine here. Other than Biden enabling it. Show me I’m wrong? Once again you claim lies for truth. You are really off your meds today. You really are clueless and apparently suffer from ADHD. Now pay attention for just a moment. I will say this when Trump was president things were much better and safer for the average American citizen. Low inflation, 401k’s doing well, securing the border, revised NAFTA, energy independence, low energy prices, and I could go on. What positive can you say about Biden?

Trump President=Low energy prices=Putin can’t invade neighbors.
Biden President=High energy prices=Putin INVADES neighbors.
Biden promised to end fossil fuels which plays into Putin’s strengths and emboldens him. Yet you support Biden and hate Trump. Who’s side are you on?

Those are the facts.

You bought into a mentally unbalanced conman from Queens as the savior of the nation, and still haven’t figured this out 6 years later. 

What was the “con”? I missed it. Was it a secure southern border? Was it energy independence? Was it a thriving economy? Was it restoring national security? Was it rebuilding our dilapidated military? Was it low unemployment for women, blacks and Hispanics? What, exactly, was the CON?

The only con I was was “Russian collusion”. Emoluments. Tax records. “Fine people”. Quid pro quo. Let’s see… what do all those cons have in common. OH! That’s right! Those were all DEMOCRAT cons, all of which caused serious harm and division for the American people.

If you can see the difference between Trump’s leadership and this disastrous, sorry, incompetent excuse for a leader we suffer under now, you are truly a bigger moron than I eve imagined.

YOU have been conned. But, you LIKE it.

If there were credible evidence of Trump’s “massive election fraud,” it would all be posted online in one location where everyone could see it. 

Unless the usurping regime was in bed with google, twitter, and the like.

The FBI scrubs the internet of any and all information that opposes the regime.

That’s why you keep trying push the idea that “if it’s not on the internet, on a Leftwing regime supporting site, it didn’t happen.”

Such is the desperation of all fallen world orders to scrap up their dead credibility when people stop listening.

Biden won nothing. A global cabal released covid, rigged an election, and conducted a false-flag to remove a duly elected Trump because he was challenging the rich, powerful, and paid-in.

This is about money.

BIDEN WON NOTHING. THE ELECTION WAS SO HORRIBLY, OBVIOUSLY RIGGED AND THERE IS NO WAY TO COVER THAT UP NOW. WE LIVE IN A FRACTURED AMERICA OCCUPIED BY OUR OWN DOMESTIC ENEMIES, FORCING A GLOBALIST WORLD GOVERNMENT ON US AGAINST OUR WISHES.

Glad we cleared that up.

How did they miss this right-wing cuckoo’s nest?

How did they miss this right-wing cuckoo’s nest?

Because the left has people like you here spreading the leftist propaganda.

This is because the left has destroyed democratic governance, science and a free press and, instead, govern by conspiracy theories and dark plots.

So, you’re saying because Google, the FBI, and other tech overlords have scrubbed the internet of the evidence, it somehow didn’t happen?

Hahahaha.

We don’t determine the Truth based on internet link, dumbf*ck.

The 20th Century is over, and your “appeals to authority” fallacies permanently bar you from the conversation.

Biden won nothing. The evidence is clear: massive election fraud occurred.

Good luck trying to write that out of history.

It is a documentary, like on PBS…nova, and others. Do you think the security footage taken from election records where ballot stuffing was taken were paid actors? No they were paid election fraudsters.

2000 Mules is a movie. Movies are not reality.

And the January 6th committee is a cartoon. Cartoons are not reality.

Another “bombshell”, nespa?

The hostility by the left comes from two primary sources relative to the stolen election. The primary source is the j6 klownshow. As detailed here, its purpose is to construct a narrative that does not exist, mainly that President Trump attempted a coup.

In Georgia, a state rife with fraud, the effort is similar in nature. Produce a false narrative to obfuscate the known fraud of state farm arena and ballot stuffing by mules. The false narrative is to accuse President Trump of conspiring to create fraud with the assistance of the SOS in order to win the state which by the way, he did win.

The problem the left is having is they have been unsuccessful in creating either narrative because both are built on nothing but lies.

If there was no election fraud in Georgia in 2016, why did they pass a contentious new law that addressed every method of fraud seen in 2016?

Georgia? Dude the event was in DC, my favorite deadly weapon of mass government destruction… a walking stick.. do they mean a walking cane, was it one we see on TV a hurrycane?

Lifetime Warranty Upright Cane™ – Foldable & Adjustable Walking Cane

This one has a headlight!

Baseball bats, crutches, crowd barriers, bear spray, pepper spray, even a hatchet in one case, were all wielded by the Trump mob on January 6th. These aren’t weapons? Tell that to the nearly 100 cops who suffered injuries at the hands of the idiotic Trump supporters who were stupid enough to believe Trump’s Big Lie. While the violence continued,Trump did nothing. Trump’s Big Lie incited all the violence. He will be found guilty of inciting this riot, and if there’s any justice, seditious conspiracy.

There are many You Tube videos showing the Trumpers howling “Hang Mike Pence.” Anyone denying this has no connection to reality.

There are many You Tube videos showing the Trumpers howling “Hang Mike Pence.” 

Oh? Where are they?

ONE hatchet? Where were the commercial-grade fireworks being fired point blank into police? Where were the frozen bottles of water? Where were the bricks and chunks of concrete? That mob’s behavior can be excused; they learned it from BLM/ANTIFA and also learned that the government approves of political violence. They simply didn’t realize you have to commit violence in the name of the Democrats to get that pass.

The videos are here:

The Trump mob “can be excused?” Get some help, Deplorable Me.

No, you’re going to have to provide them without the associated mind-numbing propaganda. I ain’t watching that worthless shit.

You ask for videos. When you’re offered the videos, you refuse to watch them. Don’t expect anyone to take you seriously. You’re a clown.

I asked for videos of the chant. You gave me propaganda videos. If you don’t have the proof, stop making the accusations. I’ve watched and listened to enough of the “hearings” to get the full effect of the one-sided, prejudiced, predetermined nature of them.

So tell me about Ray Epps. Check out the J5 videos of him. It’s known there were infitrators in the J6 mob. Any of those in the videos you provided? Can you provide factual evidence they weren’t?
I take it you believe Biden got 81 million people casting votes for him. So I wonder why we don’t see anyone anywhere wearing Biden hats or shirts. No Biden flags or bumper stickers. Yet we do see anti-Biden paraphernalia including “Let’s go Brandon” quite often. Go any clues?

So what?

Now show all the vids of Schumer and Waters threatening juries and the SC.

Now show Biden blaming the pandemic on “the unvaccinated.”

Now show antifa/BLM pouring paint on old ladies and killing 25 people.

Now all the tweets, posts, everything by Democrats about how they are going to “remove” duly elected Trump.

You fools have no leg to stand on.

The Left is violent…and has been committing insurrection.

The Right has not.

Good luck.

Another nobody lefty jumps into the forum. Yo bro, peddle your bullshit somewhere else. We here are far too wise to believe the legacy media propaganda you seem so ready to believe

Nah. January 6th was a classic false flag.

The Left is violent…too many youtube videos and thousands of hours of video showing Leftists calling for violence and committing violence.

The Right is not, but the regime must push and push and push that they are. The usual projection.

Trump wasn’t the first person to see that the election was rigged. The majority of Americans watched it, in real time.

Biden won nothing. We live in a compromised Republic where we are figuring out what to do with a self-installed tyranny who can’t seem to subjugate the rest of use as easily as they wished.

Enjoy the divorce.

The picture: this is the Left. Cowards attacking our government, then pretending the Right is doing it.

Crutches, someone tell the hospital security! How serious were the injuries? They cremated a Trump supporters body, without family permission, as she was so badly beaten they needed to cover it up. Pence was never in any danger from chants, sticks and stones.
Do you really think the reject with the horns on his hat was going to overthrow the government?
A pencil can be a deadly weapon piss pants, stay away from the office supplies dept.

They say they are concerned with Epps’ privacy, yet they raid O’Keefe’s home and share the contents of his electronic devices with NYT. One day, some of these people are going to find justice. I hope I am still alive to see it.
