Pretti is on video directing SUVs to form a barricade on the street, which is what prompted the first confrontation with officers. Which means he was actively impeding/obstructing federal officers, a felony under 18 USC 111 Also a crime to conspire to obstruct/impede federal officers; Pretti was working with at least one other individual at the time. And he was committing that felony while in possession of a firearm. Pretti also by his actions was attempting to aid a criminal illegal evade law enforcement. He then assaulted a woman after being hit by pepper spray—presumably disoriented from the spray. And he had a loaded gun in his waistband. His parents had cautioned him not to get aggressively involved in anti ICE protests. But this was not a protest—it was a crime.

So J6 celeb cop Danny Hodges is back doing media hits blasting Trump adm for trying to keep DC safe. Hodges is still a DC police officer but appears to have done little else over a four year period besides do interviews and show up at J6 court proceedings as a witness and “victim.” Here is how Hodges once again misrepresents his experience on January 6. But he was not a victim…

More from Comey’s 2018 book tour. This is particularly insidious because Comey suggests he at first didn’t think the “pee tape” with Russian hookers was true but after meeting with Pres Trump he changed his mind. Again these interviews took place when Trump was President: https://t.co/oNd823L3IK
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
In his book and in a few interviews, Comey bragged about his Jan 5, 2017 meeting with Obama at the White House. He told Obama that he and Clapper planned to “brief” Donald Trump the following day on the dossier and nonexistent “pee tape” in particular: https://t.co/ceDTBzVrVe

For four years, Patricia Hartman churned out near-daily press releases to boast about indictments, convictions, and sentencings in Jan 6 cases. Her handiwork created national and local coverage of J6ers, fueling hate against them and endangering their safety. Pam Bondi fired her last month—and now she wants sympathy. Hartman arguably did more damage to the lives of J6ers than did prosecutors and/or judges. Her firing should only be part of the price she pays. (Also note how her fellow J6 propagandist Scott MacFarlane brags about DOJ’s 100% conviction rate in J6 jury trials without realizing the point we are making about a rigged process)

Aside from Obama and Brennan, don't forget who else was behind the bogus Dec 2016 ICA on Russian interference in the election: Lisa Monaco. Check out this clip from Dec 9, 2016--the day Obama announced an "intelligence" review into Russia's alleged interference in the 2016 election to "help" Trump win. This was a total set-up between Monaco and Michael Isikoff, whose Sept 2016 Yahoo News article not only helped launch Trump-Russia collusion via Steele dossier but was cited in FISA applications to spy on the campaign. The bogus ICA was completed on Dec 30 and published a week later just as Obama, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Monaco and others were setting up President Trump on Steele dossier claims:
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
Monaco’s dirty fingerprints have been on every anti-Trump operation for a decade—from Russiagate to the Jan 6/classified docs investigations and prosecutions. The president now suspects she was Biden’s auotpen. Don’t know if any investigation—either by DOJ or Congress—into her is underway.

I just received the transcript of Judge Breyer's hearing this morning about the possibility of his entering another order to halt the president's use of National Guard in California--this time, under the Posse Comitatus Act which prevents the military from being involved domestic law enforcement. Although the CA appellate court (Ninth Circuit) clearly concluded last night the president was within his authority under a federal statute to deploy the guard, Breyer is now trying to find any angle to institute another order reversing Trump. He is off his rocker. Breyer: "It is not clear to me that the Ninth Circuit's stay of the [temporary restraining order] divests this Court of its usual authority...to grant or modify an injunction as to the Posse Comitatus Act following its refusal to grant one. Of course, this Court recognizes that the Ninth Circuit has the authority to modify, restore, or grant an injunction while the appeal is pending. So that I can be sure that I am operating within my jurisdiction, I would like the parties to submit briefs by noon on Monday, June 23rd, 2025, addressing whether this Court or the Ninth Circuit retains primary jurisdiction to modify or grant an injunction under the Posse Comitatus Act."

Judicial coup update. Another Obama judge.
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
Federal judges— from Chief Justice John Roberts down to Jeb Boasberg—absolutely green lighted what’s happening now. By undermining the president’s authority, expressing sympathy for illegals including criminal illegals like Abrego Garcia, accusing the Trump administration of acting “illegally” and pursuing contempt charges, and insisting those here unlawfully are entitled to “due process”—these judges have empowered illegals to act against the president and ALL authority including law enforcement. Hardly a day has gone by since March where Trump DOJ isn’t in some federal court somewhere defending deportation policy as radical activist lawyers and political judges work hand in glove to deny the will of the people: remove individuals who are here illegally. Plenty of people to blame for this current chaos but judges are most responsible.

What exactly the f*ck was Bill Barr doing in 2019 and 2020 besides protecting Chris Wray's job, letting cities across the country burn in honor of George Floyd, and refusing to investigate 2020 election fraud? In addition to allowing Robert Mueller to run a "post" special counsel office that continued to conceal evidence related to Crossfire Hurricane--away from federal and Congressional investigators--the latest reporting by @ProfMJCleveland reveals senior DOJ officials and US attorneys were unaware of the "prohibited access" portal in FBI record management system that allowed FBI to hide incriminating documents. This included Scott Brady, the US attorney investigating Biden crime family and Hunter's grifting off Ukraine...
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
Brady told Margot that his team was not aware of the existence of Hunter's laptop until NY Post reported on its contents in mid October 2020--and AFTER his investigation ended.

What is perhaps most galling about recent disclosures by FBI and Sen Grassley is that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team hid documents and thwarted Nellie Ohr investigation months AFTER his office was shut down. As late as June 2019--3 months after AG Barr closed him down and 2 months after the release of the report finding no collusion--hangers-on at the "post" special counsel's office were obstructing the Washington FBI field office's perjury probe into Nellie Ohr. Now just imagine what Jack Smith and his slimeballs did to hide evidence related to his prosecution of the president. This is what Kash Patel and Dan Bongino are up against.

@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
Republicans had control of House and Senate at the time. Devin Nunes and Pres Trump were on the brink of blowing the collusion hoax wide open. In March 2017, Trump tweeted that the FBI "spied" on this campaign. Nunes' Intel committee was in full swing and taking aim at Comey and others. So what happened? Republicans in Washington,--led by John McCain, who helped circulate the dossier before and after the election--sided with Comey by supporting the appointment of a special counsel. Paul Ryan endorsed a bogus ethics investigation into Nunes, which sidelined his work for at least 8 months. The media published FBI/Steele planted stories including the disclosure of the FISA on Carter Page to help bolster the collusion narrative. And after Mueller was appointed in May 2017, his office, led by the inexecrable Andrew Weissmann, quickly collected all relevant documents and locked them down at the special counsel's office. This is why the base wants quick action on this and other corrupt operations against the president, his allies, and his voters. Everyone involved in CH including both Ohrs got away with it. Cannot let this happen again.

NEW: Ring camera footage shows FBI SWAT raid at California home of a suspected J6 protester in October 2024. The targeted individual was not home but at least 10-15 heavily armed FBI agents stormed the house using flashbangs, aiming guns at his wife, and holding her in handcuffs while interrogating her and traumatizing the neighborhood:
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸

@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
The harassment continues to this day. We are paying for helicopters and drones and agents to hunt down the subject. One neighbor, according to the subject's wife, was interrogated on Thanksgiving Day. An agent bragged to one neighbor that he was head of domestic terrorism for the FBI San Jose office. (Loser) Another disclosed that the FBI had surveilled their home for weeks and even conducted a practice raid at the Oakland Zoo beforehand. The rot of the FBI extends to every field office and is aided by state and local law enforcement--which is unacceptable in "red" states. Not only are pardons necessary but so is a full blown investigation into every FBI leader and field agent responsible for this.
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
Dozens were denied release following armed predawn FBI raids including those accused of non violent offenses such as the unlawful 1512c2 count and those without any criminal record. J6ers were then hauled—some cross country stopping at 4-5 other prisons along the way to add to the torment—to a DC gulag created specifically for J6ers. The excuse for bringing J6ers to DC was that the capital was the “scene of the crime” and all court proceedings would take place in DC. Except all hearings in 2021 were virtual—the first trial took place March 2022. Those defendants then were kept in solitary in 2021 under “Covid” rules. DC judges routinely denied motions for release—only a handful were overturned by DC appellate court. Meanwhile, prison officials denied a few members of Congress who were brave enough to take interest (MTG and Gohmert first) access to the facility amid accusations of physical and mental abuse. DOJ and prison guards also prevented J6ers from meeting with their attorneys and accessing their discovery—foundational Constitutional rights. If a J6ers refused a vaccine, that individual could not meet in person with their lawyer. They remained “locked up” as DC judges systematically denied every change of venue motion—which handed DOJ a perfect conviction record before DC juries made up almost exclusively of Democratic voters. DOJ then sought excessive sentences which included terror enhancements and in at least 2 instances illegal prison time (add- ons later reversed by DC appellate court) for nonviolent convictions. At least 100 J6ers were “locked up” on a corporate fraud statute SCOTUS determined 3 years later had been misused (abused) by Biden DOJ and 17 federal judges. This only scratches the surface of the lack of due process afforded to J6ers. And it infuriates me to this day to read an ACLU lawsuit signed by at least a dozen lawyers when not a single one stepped up to represent J6ers. Illegal Venezuelan gang banger? ACLU and federal judges will work round the clock to ensure their “due process rights.” A U.S. veteran accused of bogus crimes related to a political protest on taxpayer funded property? Rot. Sorry to interrupt your popular delusion with facts, Michael.

When NJ resident Julian Khater was arrested on an airplane in March 2021 for allegedly assaulting Brian Sicknick, he was immediately taken into custody. Julian was accused of spraying pepper spray in Sicknick’s direction—he made no contact with Sicknick or any other officer. DC Judge Tom Hogan denied his release. Julian spent nearly 18 months in the DC gulag before he was tormented into pleading guilty to the same 2 counts charged against McIver. He was then sentenced to six years in prison.
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
Sicknick’s family gave victim impact statements at Julian’s sentencing to make sure Hogan, a Reagan appointee, threw the book at him which he did.

Pretty sure I was the last person Romano expected to see as he was preparing to ask a DC judge to send Knowlton, the father and sole provider for a severely autistic daughter, to federal prison for a year on a petty offense. Romano this week testified before Senate Dems about his feelz related to January 6 and his pride as "deputy chief of the Capitol Siege section" in tormenting hundreds of Americans and sending them to jail even on lowlevel nonviolent charges. He oozes revenge for being locker stuffing as a kid.

Just remembered how these dates align with key dates in the classified documents case. This is the same time the FBI was investigating the president for keeping classified docs at Mar a Lago. On May 22, FBI served a subpoena on Trump's team demanding more files. That was one day before DC US Attorney Matthew Graves told Wash FBI field office that he planned to indict Navarro several days later. The June date of the arrest also kept sticking in my head: it was the same day, June 3, 2022, that Jay Bratt and 3 FBI agents from Washington FBI field office visited Mar a Lago to collect more docs and snoop around the president's residence. Collusion and conspiracy.
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
NEW: Emails obtained by Sen Grassley demonstrate the collusion between Biden DOJ, DC US Attorney Matt Graves, and Washington FBI to pursue an indictment and schedule the arrest of Peter Navarro in 2022. "After consultation with main Justice." And I believe 'Molly" is Molly Gaston, who was assigned to Special Counsel Jack Smith's team a few months later to handle the J6 case against Pres Trump. Grassley is now asking AG Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel for all comms "between or among all DOJ and FBI personnel related to the contempt of Congress cases."
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
While the media now fixates on Ed Martin, they were gloves off when it came to his predecessor, Matthew Graves. (He is noted in these emails by "USAO-DC.") In his first act in office, Graves, appointed by Biden, indicted Steve Bannon on contempt for refusing to cooperate with Jan 6 Select Committee. A few months later, Graves refused to work with Special Counsel David Weiss to investigate and possibly charge Hunter Biden for tax crimes in DC in 2014-2015. Then in May 2022, Graves--who I am told had daily communication with the office of Lisa Monaco, the deputy attorney general under Biden--sought a quick indictment of Peter Navarro. This also included the usual suspects at Washington FBI field office including the disgraced Tim Thibault and former head of the office Steven D'Antuono. The FBI arrested Navarro at Reagan National Airport to make a scene rather than allow him to surrender or arrest him at home--Navarro has said he lives a few blocks from FBI HQ.
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
Just a reminder that @SenThomTillis voted to confirm both Merrick Garland and Lisa Monaco to lead Biden's DOJ. Now he wants to sink the confirmation of acting DC US attorney Ed Martin, who is investigating corruption at that office under Garland/Monaco leadership.

This is funny. I didn’t see temporary asst US attorney Sara Levine cry when I watched her prosecute one of the last J6 trials the week before Christmas 2024. When Biden DOJ forced a single mom charged with 4 misdemeanors who was inside the Capitol for 9 minutes engaged in no violence to stand trial before Jeb Boasberg—who refused to delay the trial despite Trump’s pledge to pardon J6ers exactly like Levine’s target. This is your typical crybully J6 prosecutor—never cared about Americans being destroyed or losing their livelihoods over exercising their 1A rights but sheds tears for herself when tables are turned Btw she—along with several other lawyers—were hired by Biden DOJ as temps to handle the massive J6 caseload. Their service ended after the president was inaugurated. Somehow she thinks she was still entitled to a job. Now she’s the victim lol
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
Here is crybully Sara Levine's Nov 14, 2024 response on behalf of Biden DOJ opposing J6er request to delay trial. She claimed it was in the "public interest" to put this woman on trial in DC on Dec 16, 2024. https://t.co/XjhthlUSMN
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
The J6er (I won't name her) righfully argued she could not get a fair trial in DC after the results of 2024 election in Washington. What stands out to me is Levine's deceptive use of a jury survey conducted by Thomas Webster showing DC bias. (DC courts including appellate court denied his argument.) She failed to note in her DOJ brief was that the survey was from 2022--two and a half years before the 2024 election. A crybully and a fraud. Good riddance:
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
If DC appellate court judge Cornelia Pillard had one ounce of integrity, she would recuse from any case involving lawsuits against the Trump adm. Her husband, David Cole, last summer retired as legal director of the ACLU--which is suing the Trump adm in several jurisdictions related to the president's immigration policies. During his 8-year run at ACLU, Cole handled more than 400 lawsuits against Trump 45 administration. Does anyone doubt he is still advising his former employer about how to proceed with lawsuits against Trump 47? But rather than step aside, Pillard sits on DC appellate panels to consider several appeals by the Trump adm. While none currently involve the ACLU, her ability to remain impartial is highly in doubt.
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
Cole now writes for the NY Review of Books, where he rages about the Trump adm and gives advice on how to "resist." Here are a few recent headline gems from Judge Cornelia Pillard's husband. She has recently been named to the panel to preside over the high profile case of Biden's climate lottery recipients v Citibank.
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
In a Dec 2024 interview with The Nation, David Cole already was prepping how to fight the president's potential use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegals. The ACLU was the first to file a lawsuit attempting to ban the use of the AEA, which the president had signed on March 14. The case "randomly" landed on the docket of Judge Jeb Boasberg. Cole and Boasberg both attended Yale Law School (although Boasberg graduated 6 years after Cole.)
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
These same former employees and prosecutors (some left the office 50+ years ago) said nothing when DC U.S. Attorney Matt Graves, a Biden appointee whose wife was close with Biden and Harris, rounded up hundreds of Americans on lowlevel federal misdemeanors and recommend prison time. These hacks had nothing to say when DC U.S. Attys office unlawfully used a corporate fraud statute to turn hundreds of political protesters into felons. They said nothing when Graves dusted off a post Civil War seditious conspiracy statute to prosecute 2 dozen mostly nonviolent J6ers based on their political affiliations. They said nothing when DC U.S. attorneys office added terror enhancements to prison recommendations; sought pretrial detention for nonviolent protesters; withheld evidence from defendants; withheld video from the public; or caused the suicide of at least 4 J6ers. “The full and fair administration of justice and the rule of law?” Seriously GFY.
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
HAHA someone make it make sense. SCOTUS on left: AEA is not subject to judicial review SCOTUS on right: We halt deportations under the AEA until further notice https://t.co/3fJB7Q7SVj
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
Trying to get up to speed on AEA case SCOTUS just weighed in on. Just like the case before Jeb Boasberg, ACLU filed a suit seeking temp restraining order for a few anonymous plaintiffs covered by Alien Enemies Act proclamation. ACLU then immediately asked the judge to convert the anonymous plaintiffs into a class wide TRO covering EVERYONE who might be subject to removal under AEA in that jurisdiction (which is one reason why SCOTUS reversed Boasberg--none of the illegals were in DC) The Texas judge in this case denied TRO motion and motion to turn 2 suspected TdA Venezuelans (who both entered US illegally in 2023) into a class--which is why SCOTUS cited "putative" class. Appellate court--scolding ACLU for another rushed timeline--upheld decision by the Texas judge.
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
In his order, Hendrix AGAIN noted the judicial branch's lack of authority in reviewing the president's issuance of the Alien Enemies Act. SO WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE DOING HERE? By the way, even Jeb Boasberg in a March order acknowledged the "often-circumscribed extent of judicial power in matters of foreign policy and national security." Basically the courts' arguments are--we don't really have authority under Article III to interfere in the president's exercise of the Alien Enemies Act but we are doing it anyway because Trump.
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
One really has to wonder why Jeb Boasberg coddles violent criminals after throwing the book at nonviolent J6ers. This morning, he sentenced a DC man with a dangerous criminal history to only 24 months in prison on firearms violations. DOJ: "He possessed the gun and ammunition in April 2024 while on supervised release for 2021 convictions for Assault with Intent to Kill (Firearm) and Carrying a Pistol Without a License. Those convictions arose out of the defendant’s participation in a late-night shootout at a gas station, which posed an extraordinary risk to the people involved and the general public. " The DOJ asked for 34 months--Boasberg went 10 months below that. But only 10 months longer than he gave a Pennsylvania woman with no criminal record convicted of no violence on Jan 6.
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸

My summary of Boasberg's contempt finding here: https://www.declassified.live/p/jeb-boasbergs-criminal-contempt-finding?r=4yy1i&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
Stunning to watch the ACLU and Jeb Boasberg ignore the Supreme Court--who is in contempt now?--and advance the Alien Enemies Act lawsuit despite SCOTUS vacating Boasberg's two temporary restraining orders banning the removal of illegal Venezuelans covered by the president's AEA proclamation. After the SCOTUS decision, Boasberg brazenly asked the ACLU to "file a notice indicating whether they believe that they still have a basis to proceed on their Motion for Preliminary Injunction in this Court." It was due yesterday, the same day Boasberg issued his contempt finding against the Trump adm. The ACLU, despite SCOTUS determining DC was the improper jurisdiction, just filed ANOTHER motion seeking a new temp restraining order on behalf of the illegals. The ACLU argued Boasberg still has jurisdiction in the matter. Here is what the ACLU is seeking--and Boasberg just set a briefing schedule on the latest proposed TRO with a hearing set for Monday. "To provide notice to each class member that they have been designated as an 'alien enemy' under the Alien Enemies Act at least 30 days prior to any attempt to remove that class member from the United States under the AEA. The notice must be in both English and Spanish, and must clearly state that the class member has the right to contact an attorney and to challenge their designation and removal in court. For each class member, this notice must be provided to the class member, class counsel in this case, and the class member’s immigration attorney of record, if they have one and to facilitate each class member’s ability to communicate with family members and counsel, by providing regular access to confidential phone calls, and to in-person meetings if an attorney requests it." (BTW I was assured by some "legal experts" the ACLU would not pursue this course and if they did, Boasberg would not allow it.)
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
The second written TRO issued by Boasberg on the evening of March 15 converted the initial five unnamed illegals covered by the AEA into a class wide lawsuit protecting ALL potential AEA subjects in US custody from deportation. Despite what SCOTUS said (on the left), the ACLU--now apparently with Boasberg's consent--claims the Supreme Court did not vacate the part of Boasberg's TRO that addressed the class wide determination. (On right) Regardless, the ACLU argues, Boasberg can reissue classwide status AND include illegals NOT in custody, which would expand the class from his original order.
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
The ACLU says it may seek class certification for illegal suspected TdA members who are in CRIMINAL custody with active detainers against them. Make no mistake--the ACLU is not doing all of this just to keep the illegals in permanent custody in the US. They want these illegals eventually released into our communities--there is no other explanation.

@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
My plan to take Saturday off lasted about 13 minutes. I have just received the (purchased) transcript from Thursday's hearing before Jeb Boasberg. Lots of good stuff especially as I develop a fuller timeline of what went down behind the scenes on March 15. This really caught my eye. Remember the whole "THESE CASES ARE RANDOMLY ASSIGNED" bit by Boasberg and others? No one really believes this...right? Also--during the start of the 5pm Zoom hearing on March 15, Boasberg apologized for his casual dress saying he had gone "away" for the weekend and did not bring a tie or his robe. He knew this case was coming. He wanted this case. He wanted to stop the deportations and most importantly--he wanted to set a contempt trap for the Trump administration.

One source of Boasberg's beef with Trump adm is that they dared to prepare and then deport illegals under President Trump's Alien Enemies Act proclamation without HIS approval. He has suggested repeatedly that since HE had scheduled a 5pm hearing to consider turning the ACLU lawsuit into a class action covering ALL illegals under AEA that the Trump adm should have waited until HE acted before proceeding. This is not judicial restraint or a careful balance of powers. This is Boasberg giving away the notion that the executive branch should WAIT FOR APPROVAL from the judicial branch before taking action on matters clearly under the purview of the presidency including foreign policy and diplomacy. Boasberg knew throughout the day that ICE was rounding up the TdA gang bangers covered by the proclamation. So he rushed not only to convert the initial lawsuit into a class, but entered a second temporary restraining order prohibiting their removal and absurdly demanding the return of planes carrying the illegals.

One set of exchanges during Thursday's hearing I believed was way out of line for Boasberg was his interrogation of DOJ atty Drew Ensign over which Trump officials were listening to the 5pm hearing on March 15. On what basis can he demand those answers? https://t.co/8wrNN766Y0

Remember the NY FBI field office chief who strutted out of the building last month to bagpipers and weeping FBI employees after being asked to resign for insubordination related to internal investigation of FBI’s handling of J6 cases? James Dennehy was involved in the Hunter Biden laptop coverup. In 2020, Dennehy was special agent in charge of NY FBI’s Counterintelligence and Cyber Division.

One thing about Jeb Boasberg being “randomly” assigned to Signal chat lawsuit. Nothing in that courthouse happens on accident. This is an intentional FU to the administration related to the Venezuelan illegals lawsuit , for invoking state secret privilege, and asking circuit court to reassign the case to another judge.

Jeb Boasberg is now demanding that the DOJ provide granular details about flights carrying illegals suspected of being part of a foreign terrorist organization. But Boasberg--like all of his DC colleagues on the bench--had no such devotion to what he now calls "fact finding" and routinely denied J6ers' requests to get details about Jan 6 from the DOJ. In the case of Ryan Zink, Boasberg denied his pre-trial motion for evidence related to undercovers, informants, and Antifa members. His reasoning here is farcical: Zink was supposed to identify suspected undercovers or instigators on his own?
@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
A year later--Boasberg mocked Zink and others for never producing evidence of Antifa presence--even though police are on body cams talking about looking for Antifa and Antifa-clad individuals also are on video outside the Capitol. Boasberg sure likes defending suspected terrorists...

Jeb Boasberg in Sept 2023 sentenced 60-year-old Sandra Weyer to 14 months in federal prison. A 1512c2 conviction drove the length of that sentence--she faced no other felony count. Boasberg sent Weyer to prison on the 1512c2 conviction even though everyone by that point knew the statute was headed for SCOTUS review. In April 2023, the DC appellate court had issued a "splintered" decision barely upholding DOJ's use of the post-Enron corporate fraud statute. Defense lawyers filed application for writ of certiorari a week before Boasberg ordered Weyer to prison. SCOTUS granted cert in the Fischer 1512c2 case in Dec 2023--Boasberg granted her motion for release in Feb 2024. A complete waste of time and resources at great personal cost to Weyer and her family.

This new sworn statement signed by an attorney representing one of the five illegal Venezuelans suing Trump adm over the Alien Enemies appears to confirm the five were removed from a plane headed to El Salvador on Saturday evening. So the morons claiming Trump adm ignored a court order related to the original lawsuit and Boasberg's 1st temporary restraining order can STFU. And boy I can't help but think how lucky these illegals are to have a huge stable of lawyers to go to bat for them...good thing they weren't at the Capitol on January 6, 2021!

Folks want to know something interesting? The ACLU sued to block @POTUS from deporting members of a designated terrorist group, and a rogue activist judge sided with them. This is just one of countless lawsuits where they’re not only undermining our Constitution but also sticking taxpayers with millions in legal defense costs. @DOGE, two NGOs are bankrolling the ACLU—cut off their funding now. Did you know that the TOP Donors of ACLU are: 💥 Open Society Foundations (George Soros) – As mentioned, Soros’s foundation is one of the largest donors to the ACLU, particularly in funding campaigns around civil rights and justice reform. 💥 Ford Foundation – The Ford Foundation is another large philanthropic organization that has provided substantial funding to the ACLU, especially in areas related to social justice, racial equality, and human rights. 💥The Rockefeller Foundation – The Rockefeller Foundation has historically supported many initiatives related to human rights and justice, including the ACLU's advocacy. NGO Support: Though the ACLU mostly relies on individual donors and foundations, it partners with organizations, especially civil rights and social justice groups, to bolster its efforts. Ex: 💥The National Immigration Law Center (NILC) – The NILC collaborates with the ACLU on issues related to immigrant rights. 💥 The Brennan Center for Justice – The Brennan Center has worked alongside the ACLU on various legal issues, such as voting rights and criminal justice reform. @DOGE @elonmusk @DOGECommittee @PressSec @POTUS @VP @HouseGOP @SenateGOP

@julie_kelly2 A lawyer representing an illegal Venezuelan that is suing President Trump? I can't even believe I just read this. People that hate this country are embedded everywhere.

What do we have here? This is one of the anonymous 5 illegals. So why is Jeb Boasberg still demanding details about the flights? https://t.co/ce1dPb6lBU
