I never entered the Capitol on January 6th; I stood outside for eight minutes filming a video. I did not engage in or witness any violence or destruction. After posting the video, I was raided by the FBI and charged with felonies, eventually taking a misdemeanor plea deal. I question why some are upset about illegal immigration but not about the FBI raids on those who trespassed at the Capitol. Regarding my plea deal, I met with the DOJ as required, but the media misrepresented my situation. The documents revealed that none of the individuals I was questioned about were charged or convicted of any crime.

I have been accused, and it's been a paid campaign, of being a federal agent because I was at January 6 and did not get charged. However, despite being at January 6 and not trespassing, which is the crime that everybody was charged with, despite not being charged, not having committed a crime, I only had my bank account frozen for six months, I only was placed on the federal no fly list for a year, and I was only subpoenaed by Congress. I testified under oath when I was deposed as part of the subpoena last year, or I think that was rather in 2022, that I did not ever have contact with federal law enforcement at any time during or after any of the election riots or protests. This was a narrative that was cooked up. Nobody was saying this in 2021 or 2022 because all of my legal problems were publicized. I was on the no fly list, I had my money taken, I was banned from everything. It was only after Joe Kent was defeated in 2022 in the midterms that Max Blumenthal, Joe Kent's best friend, wrote a three part hit piece about me with his wife, Anya Parampol, accusing me of being a fed. They paid people, someone paid people, on Influencible to spread this article and the narrative that I'm a Fed. The claim grew that I gave a speech outside the Capitol and I said, we're taking the Capitol back, keep moving. They say I incited people to go in the building. The report says that none of their confidential sources on the ground were encouraging people to go in the building. There were undercover operatives or informants tasked to do that, but there were no undercover agents and out of 26 informants none of them were doing that. If the claim was I was entrapping people, that wasn't happening. The report also says that all the confidential sources were known to law enforcement before and were interviewed afterward. If I were one of the confidential sources, why would they make the mistake of freezing my money and putting me on the no fly list? The New York Times said they did charge me. I testified under oath that I never talked to law enforcement under penalty of perjury. So if anything, they’ve been saying Trump is gonna get in and blow the whistle. I wish he would on January 6 because if anything comes out, they could arrest me for perjury. I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars defending myself from the feds; lawyers aren’t cheap. My lawyers, not cheap. I probably spent over 200,000, close to 250,000 in legal fees. All the money that I was given by the mysterious French donor, nearly all of it after it was unfrozen, I wound up spending on legal fees. I had to borrow money from people because my bank account was frozen for six months. I missed weddings of my best friends, funerals of my best friends because I was on the federal no fly list. I haven’t had banking services for four years. I haven’t been able to process a credit card for my business. I’ve been banned from everything—Facebook, Instagram; Twitter until May, not even a year ago. For years I spent defending myself from attacks as a racist and a Nazi and a Holocaust denier, then the tactic switched to accusing me of law enforcement, then gay, pedophile, the usual. The grand irony is that Tucker Carlson, a close friend of Max Blumenthal, collaborated on the piece; Tucker Carlson’s father is a federal agent, and during January 6 Tucker Carlson was not talking about election fraud and said he hated Trump. I’m pulling the veil back a little bit, because this is politics. The election was stolen, and there are these dynamics with Blumenthal, Kent, Tucker, and Max Blumenthal’s wife’s article in The Grey Zone.

Jacob Chansley, a dangerous conspiracy theorist, was sentenced to nearly 4 years in prison for leading the violent insurrection to overthrow American democracy. There is dispute over how he got into the Capitol building, but internal surveillance video reveals that once inside, Capitol Police officers acted as his tour guides. They took him to multiple entrances, tried to open locked doors for him, and never attempted to slow him down. Chansley even thanked the officers in a prayer on the floor of the senate. This starkly contrasts with the reality of his actions on January 6th.

Brandon Straka claims he was wrongfully charged and convicted by the DOJ and FBI for actions on January 6th, despite being innocent. He states FBI agents raided his apartment, arresting him on felony charges related to January 6th. Straka maintains he never entered the Capitol, engaged in violence, or witnessed any. The charges included knowingly occupying restricted grounds, impeding law enforcement, and disorderly conduct. The case was based on a video he shot and uploaded to Twitter. Straka says he was a scheduled speaker at a permitted event and filmed the scene to document it for his followers. He claims open barricades and a lack of police presence suggested no restricted access. Straka alleges the government misrepresented his actions, particularly regarding shouts of "We're going in" and "Go, go," by removing context. He also denies shouting "take the shield," claiming the FBI pressured him to take ownership of the act to avoid a trial. Footage shows him struggling to keep his camera up, unaware of the shield incident. Straka says he left when the building was evacuated. He believes the government's lies have damaged his life and career.

Straka says he repeated "We're going in" after hearing someone else say it, but the government omitted this context. He also says he yelled "go, go" to help women exit the crowd, but the government falsely claimed he was encouraging people to storm the building. Straka says he joined a "USA" chant and the FBI accused him of shouting "take the shield," which he denies. He says he pled guilty to a misdemeanor to avoid a trial, despite believing the charges were false. Straka says the government's actions have damaged his reputation, career, and relationships, and placed him on terrorism watch lists.

He says he was in Washington DC on January 6 and 'recorded video of two federal agents attacking the building.' He states he has 'given the FBI twenty nine minutes of high definition video' says, 'What what format do we got? MP four.' He adds, 'No copyright. I don't care about getting paid. I just want it out there.' He explains that, despite offering the footage, 'neither man's been arrested' and 'the FBI refuses to accept my offer to come in and give them a statement and all of the video that I took on the fifth, sixth, and seventh.' He says the FBI is 'desperate to keep their identities hidden.' He notes he has appeared on 'OAN and Newsmax' and 'played the video there.' He is in town this weekend. 'If you wanna have me on your show as a guest, I'm more than happy to go do so.'

Jeremy Brown, a retired Army Special Forces veteran, was arrested in September 2021 after participating in the January 6th Capitol events. He was charged with possessing illegal weapons and a classified document, ultimately sentenced to 87 months in prison. Brown claims he was in Washington, D.C. for a security role, wearing military gear to distinguish himself from civilians. He asserts they had permits for an event at the Capitol, which the government suppressed. He observed minimal violence and noted that law enforcement did not issue dispersal orders. Brown believes the narrative surrounding January 6th was manipulated, with the focus on specific violent incidents while ignoring the broader context. He suggests that the government had ulterior motives, including the planting of evidence against him.

Jeremy Brown, an army veteran charged with trespass and disorderly conduct for his actions on January 6th, faced more serious allegations when authorities found illegal grenades and firearms during a search of his home. Brown insists the grenades are not his and claims they were planted. He highlights discrepancies in the evidence presented, such as photographs that contradict the testimonies about the grenades' locations. Despite being offered a deal to plead

It's our constitutional duty to do oversight. He asks, "how many agents or assets of the government were present on January 5 and January 6 and agitating in the crowd to go into the capital and how many went into the capital. Can you answer that now?" Speaker 1 replies, "I don't know the answer to that question." The exchange continues: "I don't know the answer to either of those questions. If there were any, I don't know how many." "You've had two years to find out." The discussion mentions Ray Epps: "yesterday, you indicted him. Isn't that a wonderful coincidence on a misdemeanor?" and says, "you're sending grandmas to prison." It references a video claim: "the guy on video who's saying go into the capital," noting "10 videos, and it's an indictment for a misdemeanor?" In discovery, "the Justice Department prosecutors provided whatever information they had about the question that you're asking." "With respect to mister Epps, the FBI has said that he was not an employee or informant of the FBI." "Mister Epps has been charged, and there's a proceeding, I believe, going on today on that subject." "The charge is a joke."

John Strand, who was at the Capitol on January 6, provides an account of his actions that day. He states that his intention was to protect a scheduled speaker and denies any criminal intent. He explains that he never had the intention to break the law or act inappropriately. He describes how he and his client attempted to reach an elevated vantage point to give a speech outside the Capitol, but ended up being pushed towards the Columbus store entrance. He emphasizes that going inside the building was never part of their plan. He mentions that the doors were opened from the inside and denies the prosecutor's claim that he was an aggressive member of a mob. He recounts being stuck in a dense crowd and witnessing an officer falling, but denies any assault. He explains that they followed the crowd into the Capitol and were unable to find an exit. He describes his client attempting to give her speech while they waited and eventually being directed towards the east entrance. He expresses gratitude towards law enforcement and denies the prosecutor's misrepresentations of his actions. He concludes by stating that his sole intention was to protect his client and that the evidence on the government's own video proves his innocence.

Speaker 0 describes that on 07/18/2023 special counsel Jack Smith has decided to pursue another arrest and more indictments of President Trump, alleging it is a result of the Fed storming the Capitol on 01/06/2021 and targeting Trump for his role in the effort to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power on that date. He asserts that all President Trump did was give a speech and that he incited nothing. He claims the people disrupting the peaceful transfer of power were “our government.” He argues that when videos from the Capitol appeared, Tucker Carlson, while still on Fox News, claimed the videos were manipulated, asserting they were added to with people, sound, fire, and smoke, probably mirrors, to make it look horrific. He says footage has been removed from the Internet, making reflection on 01/06 difficult, and that all remaining footage is manipulated, stating there was not all the fire and smoke and that the famous picture is a manipulated image. He asserts the rioters didn’t bring guns and that there was no fire or smoke, but instead “where there’s smoke, there’s fire,” and that history has been changed and references are no longer available. He claims that during the Fed’s direction, Trump did say on video what he should have said, including “I know your pain. I know your hurt. We had an election stolen from us, but you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to respect our great people in law and order. There’s nothing more he could have said.” He notes the video is difficult to find but exonerates Trump, maintaining he incited nothing, especially since the feds were doing most of it. He says this video will be important in the coming weeks and months as Smith continues to go after Trump, predicting suppression of the video by social media platforms, as in the immediate aftermath of the Fed’s direction. He says he captured the video and urges sharing. Speaker 1 quotes Trump: “I know you’re pained. I know you’re hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election, and everyone knows it, especially the other side. But you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order. We don’t want anybody hurt. It’s a very tough period of time. There’s never been a time like this where such a thing happened, where they could take it away from all of us, from me, from you, from our country. This was a fraudulent election, but we can’t play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace. So go home. We love you. You’re very special. You’ve seen what happens. You see the way others are treated that are so bad and so evil. I know how you feel, but go home and go home at peace.” Speaker 0 adds that Tucker Carlson claimed Democrat party and those involved in planning and organizing the insurrection hired a Good Morning America producer to dramatize the footage and even dubbed in sound, to make it more sensational, implying the footage was staged. He questions why it would be necessary to add sound and create more people and fire or smoke to redefine the events, suggesting the feds planted and altered footage to present an insurrection. Speaker 2 reinforces the claim with a direct statement: “How staged and fraudulent was the work of the January 6 committee? Democrats hired a Good Morning America producer called James Goldston to dramatize the footage they released. They even dubbed in audio to make the pictures more sensational as in a docudrama. The networks carried it all live as if it were real.”

Straka denies shouting "take the shield" during an altercation and says he was pressured to take ownership of the statement to avoid a trial. He states that video evidence shows he was too far away to see the shield incident. Straka says he left when the building was evacuated. He believes the government's actions have damaged his reputation, career, and personal life.

I gave a speech outside the Capitol, assuming the building was mostly inactive due to the rally. I never considered entering, as the crowd couldn't force open the heavy doors. However, closed-circuit footage revealed the doors were opened from the inside. During my trial, the prosecutor misled the jury by showing a clip of a hand waving towards the door, claiming it was mine and portraying me as an aggressive mob member. This was deceptive, as I had worn black gloves all day, which the prosecutor was aware of.

He states that they followed the crowd inside the building, looking for an exit, and eventually ended up in a vestibule outside the House chamber. They were instructed by police to return in the direction they came from.

Jacob Chansley, a dangerous conspiracy theorist, was sentenced to nearly 4 years in prison for his role in the violent insurrection at the Capitol. While there is dispute over how he gained access to the building, internal surveillance videos clearly show that once inside, Capitol Police officers did not stop him. In fact, they acted as his tour guides, taking him to multiple entrances and even attempting to open locked doors for him. At least 9 officers were within touching distance of Chansley, but none of them tried to slow him down. Chansley saw the Capitol Police as his allies and even thanked them in a prayer on the senate floor. This starkly contrasts with the reality of his actions on January 6th.

I captured footage of Capitol Police removing barricades, inviting people onto the Capitol grounds, and even into the Capitol itself. I also recorded instances of Capitol Police attacking protesters without any provocation. Additionally, I have footage of Capitol Police instructing people to enter the Capitol to avoid being harmed during the incident. Despite not committing any crimes myself, I have evidence of crimes committed by our government.

Brandon Straka claims he was wrongfully charged and convicted by the DOJ and FBI for actions on January 6th, despite being innocent. He states FBI agents raided his apartment and arrested him, charging him with felonies: knowingly occupying restricted grounds, impeding law enforcement, and a misdemeanor for disorderly conduct. Straka says the case was based on a video he shot and uploaded to Twitter. He claims he was a scheduled speaker at a permitted event and wanted to document the events at the Capitol. He says he saw no barricades or police preventing people from walking toward the Capitol. He admits to repeating "We're going in," but says he was quoting someone else. He also admits to shouting "Go, go," but says it was to help women exit the crowd, not to encourage entry. Straka says he joined in a "USA" chant, but denies shouting "take the shield." Straka says he plead guilty to a misdemeanor to avoid a trial where he was guaranteed to be found guilty on multiple felonies, even though he maintains his innocence. He says the government's lies have damaged his reputation, career, and organization, Walk Away.

An individual provided video footage purportedly showing two federal agents attacking the Capitol on January 6th. A defense attorney for the Oath Keepers filed a motion identifying 80 "suspicious actors" and "material witnesses" present at the Capitol on January 6th who have not been arrested or charged. These individuals were concentrated in areas where trouble occurred, including the East Side and the Columbus doors. The attorney alleges some worked in tactical two-man teams and were later seen on the terrace. He seeks to identify them using facial recognition and questions if the events were staged. A radio journalist captured footage of two individuals he believed to be government agents. One was encouraging people to enter the Capitol after a window had been broken, even pulling out a pane of glass himself. When he realized he was being filmed, he blamed a protester and shoved him. The other individual was holding open the Columbus doors with a wooden pole and pushing people inside. The journalist who shot the video said the man shoved him. One person claims that the FBI, not Trump supporters, led the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th.

Speaker at the Circle Of Peace, 500 feet from the Capitol, states, 'I was not on restricted grounds.' He says, among 2,000 January 6 defendants, they were 'either charged with trespassing because they were on restricted grounds,' or 'charged with some form of violence or vandalism,' or 'were involved in a militia,' and notes 'nobody on lawn even got charged.' He adds he was with 20 people who 'did not get charged' after he led them away. He claims he did not fit any of the three categories. He cites Brandon Straka's DOJ complaint, describing Straka 'reached the top of the stairs' and 'yelled, go, go, go' near the entrance, and notes Straka received 'three years of probation' after pleading to disorderly conduct. He cites Ray Epps, 'sentenced to a year of probation.' He concludes: 'If nothing happens to me... you're a fed' and 'If something happens to you, you're still a fed.'

Brandon Straka claims he was wrongfully charged and convicted by the DOJ and FBI for actions on January 6th, despite being innocent. He states that his apartment was raided, and he was arrested and charged with felonies, including knowingly occupying restricted grounds and impeding law enforcement, plus a misdemeanor for disorderly conduct. Straka says he attended a permitted event on Capitol grounds and filmed the scene, noting open barricades and a calm crowd. He claims he repeated "We're going in" after hearing someone else say it and that the government omitted this context. He also says he shouted "Go, go" to help women exit the crowd, but the government misrepresented it as encouraging the crowd to storm the building. Straka denies shouting "take the shield" during an incident with a police officer, but says he was pressured to take ownership of saying "take it, take it" to avoid felony charges. He says he left when someone announced the building was evacuated. Straka believes the government's lies have damaged his reputation, career, and organization, and seeks to share his story to prevent similar injustices.

To avoid a trial, he pled guilty to a misdemeanor, despite maintaining his innocence. He hopes his story will prevent similar injustices.

The speaker describes a shift in perspective about January 6, recounting that he did not initially suspect U.S. law enforcement or military involvement or a false flag. He notes an interview with Capitol Police Chief Stephen Sund, who he says stated that “that guy was filled with federal agents,” a claim Sund would know from being in charge of security. He observes that, two and a half years later, core claims about January 6 appear to be lies, arguing that when someone is caught lying about one thing, it prompts questions about what else they are lying about. The speaker emphasizes he is not a conspiracist and grew up in a country with low belief in obvious conspiracies, but he asserts that “the amount of lying around January 6” is distressing and that anyone covering for those lies should be ashamed, including portions of the American media and Fox News. He acknowledges Fox News allowed him to air material, for which he expresses gratitude, but notes that some people there were angry at him for doing so and challenges critics to point out cherry-picking or miscontextualization. He clarifies that he did not claim the events were entirely peaceful; police officers were injured, recognizing that injuries occurred in other protests as well. He emphasizes that his point is to ask obvious questions and scrutinize the narrative. He discusses Jacob Chansley, the QAnon Shaman, noting that surveillance footage had been hidden until he aired it, showing Capitol Police attempting doors and escorting Chansley into the Senate chamber, where he wandered and offered a prayer thanking the Capitol Police, before leaving. He argues there are many conclusions one could draw from this footage, but asserts that Chansley cannot be called an insurrectionist, labeling that designation a lie. He defines insurrection as a very specific meaning and remains pedantic about words, insisting the incident was not an insurrection, not armed, and not intended to overthrow the government but a “spasm of rage” that Trump helped inspire. Regarding the election, he states he does not support leaders inciting anger, but asserts the event was not an insurrection. He condemns the prosecution of Chansley, a Navy veteran and American citizen, who was imprisoned for years after being let into the Senate chamber by uniformed Capitol Police, and he rejects the portrayal of Chansley as an insurrectionist. He condemns the lack of remorse in those who cover up or excuse what he views as lies, and quotes anger at the idea of imprisoning someone for something he believes was misrepresented.

Speaker 0 argues that the individual is late, then urges going into the capital, which is described as incitement and premeditated. The speaker asserts the person is on video stating, “we need to breach the capital” and says this is very relevant because people ended up doing it. The claim is that the individual is instigating violence, trying to provoke or catalyze illegal acts so that the government can arrest those involved, describing undercover federal assets as honeypots that goad people into committing crimes to enable arrests of people law enforcement wanted to arrest anyway. The speaker then questions if the DOJ or federal law enforcement is seeking an insurrection, conspiracy, or acts of violence aimed at undermining an act of Congress, and asks why they aren’t looking into this person, suggesting that a lack of interest implies he may be part of the government or federal law enforcement. The implication is that there could be a reason for not pursuing him other than him being unaffiliated, namely that he is working with law enforcement. Ted Cruz is described as addressing this in a Senate hearing, with the speaker plan to read a report from the New York Post. The report is quoted: “magically, mister Epps disappeared from the public posting. According to public records, mister Epps has not been charged with anything. No one has explained why a person videoed, urging people to go to the capital, a person whose conduct was so suspect, the crowd thought he was a fed, would magically disappear from the list of people the FBI was looking at.” The overall claim is that Mister Epps, who encouraged people to go to the capital, vanished from FBI attention without explanation, despite being photographed urging action and being suspected by the crowd of being a federal agent.

Jacob Chansley, a dangerous conspiracy theorist, received a nearly 4-year prison sentence for leading the violent insurrection to overthrow American democracy. There is dispute over how he entered the Capitol building, but internal surveillance videos reveal what happened once he was inside. The footage shows that Capitol Police never stopped Chansley and even acted as his tour guides. They took him to multiple entrances, tried to open locked doors for him, and were within touching distance of him. Chansley saw the police as his allies and thanked them in a prayer on the senate floor. This contrasts with the reality of his actions on January 6th.
