Speaker asserts that the displayed events are not January 6 but include 05/31/2020 in front of the White House, when the president was ushered into a bunker; 07/27 in Portland, described as Antifa rioting; more rioting in Salt Lake City; and 06/01/2020 on the streets of DC. "Where was the hotline?" The speaker argues, "This is what domestic terror looks like." Noting "This is not a school board meeting," they say "There is no hotline for any of these rights, and we are gonna have a hotline that's going to report parents for caring about their children's education." They claim, "the DOJ would rather investigate a thousand more people from January 6 than any single person in these photos. What a shame." Concluding, "This is no longer the department of justice. It is the department of subjective justice."

The Supreme Court ruled that the statute used in the January 6th prosecutions was misinterpreted and not meant for protests. They applied ancient canons of interpretation to reach this decision. The Biden administration misused the statute, but the Court upheld the rule of law. There are concerns about the abuse of power and oversight is needed to understand how this happened. The speaker, a former law professor, criticizes the cynical and biased use of the statute, highlighting the double standards in prosecution. The focus is on the need for fair application of the law.

Speaker 0 says that on Friday the Department of Justice served the Federal Reserve with grand jury subpoenas threatening a criminal indictment related to testimony before the Senate Banking Committee last June about a multiyear project to renovate historic Federal Reserve office buildings. They emphasize respect for the rule of law and state that no one, not even the chair of the Federal Reserve, is above the law. The speaker argues this unprecedented action should be understood in the broader context of administration threats and ongoing pressure, stating the threat is not about the June testimony or the renovation project, nor about Congress’s oversight role. The Fed, through testimony and other public disclosures, allegedly tried to keep Congress informed, and the speaker asserts those are pretexts. The threat of criminal charges, according to the speaker, arises from the Fed setting interest rates based on what will serve the public, rather than following the President’s preferences. The core issue, the speaker says, is whether the Fed can continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions or whether monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation. The speaker notes service at the Fed under four administrations, both Republican and Democrat, asserting a record of carrying out duties without political fear or favor, focused on the mandate of price stability and maximum employment. Public service, the speaker adds, sometimes requires standing firm in the face of threats. Finally, the speaker commits to continuing to perform the job the Senate confirmed them to do with integrity and dedication to the American people, and thanks the audience.

I've asked the DOJ where the line is regarding impeding or interfering with law enforcement. Some members of Congress are educating people on how to evade law enforcement, claiming they're educating about constitutional rights. But in reality, they're telling people who are in the country illegally, have committed crimes, and been ordered removed by a federal judge to not open their doors and hide from ICE. As a member of Congress, they should let us enforce the laws that have been enacted. If someone physically prevents an arrest, that's obstruction, but where's the line when it's just telling people to hide? I want to know where that crosses into impeding law enforcement, so I've asked the Department of Justice to define that line.

As a former naval officer, I believe that if I had done what Hillary Clinton did, I would have faced immediate court martial. The lack of prosecutorial zeal and the delegation of the investigation to her own aides was a complete joke. This imbalance in the justice system needs to be rectified when I become President. Additionally, the Garland Justice Department turned a blind eye to the violation of federal law when crazed individuals threatened Supreme Court justices at their homes. If the protesters were in front of liberal justices' homes, action would have been taken swiftly.

The speaker accuses someone, referred to as "Spartacus," of hypocrisy in their criticism of Chuck Schumer. The speaker claims that "Spartacus" avoided answering whether criminal law should be enforced. According to the speaker, the answer is yes, and the Biden Department of Justice acted politically and with partisan bias by refusing to enforce the law because they disagreed with Supreme Court Justice rulings.

Protesters forced their way into a federal government building in Washington, D.C. The speaker asks if both incidents, including the Capitol riot on January 6th and the extremists forcing their way into the Interior Department, should be considered domestic terrorism. The other speaker refuses to comment on specific matters and states that they need more evidence to make a legal determination. The first speaker criticizes the lack of transparency in releasing video footage and accuses the Department of Justice of not addressing the issue directly. They argue that both incidents should be prosecuted regardless of ideology, but the second speaker continues to avoid giving a clear answer.

The speaker questions why Pam Bondi hasn't prosecuted Garland and asks if the rule is that only Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon go to jail for obstructing Congress. They assert that the case doesn't require six months to decide, as it was resolved by the prior administration. The speaker suggests Garland wouldn't prosecute himself within the Justice Department. They express confusion about the difficulty in deciding whether to prosecute someone or, at least, announcing a review of the issue.

A senator accuses Democrat colleagues of hypocrisy regarding the rule of law, citing their past support for a "lawless" and "politically weaponized" Department of Justice. They claim Democrats didn't care about violent protests outside Supreme Court justices' homes, alleging the Attorney General agreed with the protesters to intimidate judges. The senator questions a professor about the roles of voters, elected representatives, and judges in elections and policy decisions. The senator asserts that federal courts do not have the power to issue remedies for people who are not parties to a case and that "nationwide injunction" is not in the constitution. The senator states that there were zero nationwide injunctions in the first 150 years of the republic, 27 in the 20th century, and 32 between 2001 and 2024. They claim 37 nationwide injunctions have been issued in the last two months alone against President Trump. The senator accuses Democrats of "lawfare" by indicting Trump and now seeking out radical judges to shut down policies through forum shopping. They allege a judge ignored US immigration law to keep "murderers and rapists and gang members" in communities, and that nationwide injunctions are an abuse of power.

"There's a concern that there were agents of the government or assets of the government present on January 5 and January 6, during the protests." "I'm need afraid I can't see that at all." "Alright. You have you have those images there, and they're captioned. They were from January 5 and January 6." "As far as we can determine, the individual who was saying he'll probably go to jail, he'll probably be arrested, but he wants every but they need to go into the capital the next day, is then the next day directing people to the capital." "And as far as we can find, this individual has not been charged with anything." "One of the norms of the justice department is to not comment on impending investigations and particularly not to comment about, particular scenes or particular individuals." "So I'm not gonna violate this norm of, of of, the rule of law. I'm not gonna comment on an investigation that's ongoing."

The speaker expresses disappointment in the politicization of the Department of Justice (DOJ) under the leadership of the person being addressed. They criticize the DOJ for conducting biased investigations, disregarding the First Amendment, and using the department as a weapon against political rivals. The speaker holds the person accountable for labeling parents as domestic terrorists and targeting Roman Catholic churches. They also highlight the DOJ's failure to address threats against conservatives while punishing protestors and attacks on pro-life centers. The speaker blames the person in charge for the decline in trust in federal law enforcement and the political weaponization of the DOJ.

I'm frustrated with Merrick Garland using the Department of Justice for political purposes instead of impartially enforcing the law. It's time to stop complaining and take action. I'm announcing that I will hold all Department of Justice nominees accountable, because Garland will use them to harass political opponents. We need to halt this department until Garland promises to do his job and stop targeting political adversaries. Donald Trump is just one example. We've seen Catholic fathers harassed for pro-life activism, while violent criminals walk free after the 2020 riots. Harassing Christian parents while letting criminals go is pure politics, not justice. Let's slow down this department until Garland changes course and does his job correctly.

Some Democratic members of Congress are preparing for the possibility of litigation. They're considering if they have the best teams possible to carry out their work. Some Republicans may say that Democrats are weaponizing the Justice Department, citing Trump's trial as an example. But in the United States, we are judged by a jury of our peers. Trump was found guilty in court on 34 felony charges. It's hard to make a partisan argument against that.

The speaker questions the authority of Jack Smith to represent the United States without nomination or confirmation. The discussion delves into the legality of Smith's appointment and the role of US attorneys under the Appointments Clause. The conversation also touches on the handling of January 6 protesters and potential Supreme Court rulings. The speaker raises concerns about excessive sentencing and the upcoming inspector general report on DOJ's response to the Capitol events. The attorney general emphasizes the independence of the inspector general and commits to following the law.

The Justice Department is vital to democracy, ensuring investigations are fair and free from political influence. Protecting sensitive investigations is crucial. Despite attacks, we remain committed to following the law. The pace of justice system trials is out of our control. Thank you, everyone.

The speaker emphasizes that the Department of Justice should not be politicized, echoing the president's previous statements. They are asked about convincing Americans to trust the department's independence and fairness, despite Donald Trump's repeated attacks. The speaker asserts that they have never influenced the department's decisions and expresses frustration with the situation. The transcript ends with a question about lying to the public and a strong reaction.

Speaker 1, Julie Kelly, asserts that the new leadership at the DOJ and FBI may not be aware of who Jocelyn Ballantyne is, describing her as lead prosecutor who "led the team of government lawyers, DOJ lawyers, who went after the Proud Boys" and labeling her as "among the worst of the worst." Kelly references her experience covering the Proud Boys trial in 2023 and states that Ballantyne was near the top of Kelly’s list of j-six prosecutors who should be fired. Kelly recounts a scandal from the Proud Boys trial involving a spreadsheet of FBI correspondence in which agents discussed destroying evidence, surveilling, and eavesdropping on communications between Proud Boys who were in pretrial detention federal prison and their attorneys. She notes that the defense, during the trial, discovered this spreadsheet accidentally and intended to use the information as evidence. According to Kelly, the defense attempted to question an FBI agent who was a government witness and planned to present what they found in the spreadsheet. She describes that, as the defense began to present this evidence, Judge Tim Kelly—who, she says, is good friends with Jocelyn Ballantyne and had worked with her in the DC U.S. attorney’s office on cases—abruptly cut off the questioning. A day or two later, Ballantyne went into court and claimed that the communication represented classified secrets and should be withheld from the jury, a move Kelly characterizes as being aligned with Ballantyne’s actions. Kelly asserts that Judge Kelly went along with this claim to withhold the information. Kelly emphasizes that Ballantyne led the team of prosecutors against the Proud Boys, who were convicted of seditious conspiracy. She notes that Ballantyne then pursued severe sentences, including some defendants receiving life terms, such as Lindsay Attario, who Kelly says ended up with a twenty-two year prison sentence before those sentences were commuted by the president. Speaker 0 interjects multiple times with questions and expressions of disbelief, urging Julie Kelly to explain how such actions could be true and challenging the notion that Ballantyne’s conduct was inappropriate, while Kelly maintains that the described conduct and the actions taken by Ballantyne and the DOJ were part of the Proud Boys prosecutions and related cases.

The speaker expresses concern about Americans being afraid of prosecution by the Department of Justice. They mention the events of January 6th and question why the debate wasn't stopped when people broke into the Capitol. The speaker also criticizes the handling of investigations, particularly regarding Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. They express frustration with the lack of accountability and raise concerns about corruption and foreign influence. The speaker asks the Attorney General if they believe only US citizens should vote in elections. The Attorney General responds affirmatively.

"No matter the threats, I'm not backing down." "It is sad, telling, and downright dangerous that simply stating a bedrock principle of American law caused the president, our commander in chief, to threaten violence against me and to weaponize the Department of Justice against me." "I served at the Department of Justice." "I know that federal prosecutors have more control over the life and liberty of the American people than any other peacetime force." "I know that when these powers are used for good, they make us the more perfect union." "And I know that when these awesome powers are abused, when they are used to punish political opponents, to seek retribution, to do a president's personal bidding, there's nothing more dangerous in this country." "My message is clear. I took an oath to this constitution, and I intend to keep it." "I will never give up the ship."

You mentioned that the White House will not interfere, but the incoming president believes he can direct the Justice Department. If he suggests investigating a political enemy, would you comply? I wish we could have discussed this in a meeting. It's essential for the attorney general to remain independent. While I haven't heard the president make such a request, I recognize that many Americans have lost faith in the DOJ. If confirmed, my priority will be to restore integrity to the department and ensure justice is served fairly. Let's move on to your current responsibilities as attorney general.

The speaker, who immigrated from Ukraine, expresses concern about Americans being afraid of prosecution by the Department of Justice. They mention the events of January 6th and question why the debate wasn't stopped when people broke into the Capitol. The speaker also criticizes the department's handling of investigations, particularly regarding Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. They express frustration and concern about corruption and foreign influence in the country. Finally, they ask the attorney general about ensuring that only eligible US citizens can vote in elections. The attorney general responds affirmatively.

The speaker questions the attorney general about pardons for January 6th offenders and asks if she advised the president on this. The attorney general refuses to discuss conversations with the president. The speaker accuses the administration of incompetence, corruption, and cruelty, focusing on corruption. She asks if the attorney general was ever registered as an agent of a foreign principal under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. The attorney general acknowledges representing Qatar for anti-human trafficking efforts related to the World Cup. The speaker accuses her of being a registered lobbyist for Qatar and not disclosing this during her Senate confirmation. The attorney general claims it was discussed in detail. The speaker asks if the attorney general advised that President Trump could accept a $400 million airplane from Qatar. The attorney general refuses to discuss advice given to the president. The speaker asks if she recused herself from that issue, and the attorney general questions the speaker's claim that the president wanted the jet because it was "pretty."

The speaker presents seven core points about the January 6 investigations and related prosecutions. 1) Original sins of government and due process concerns - The lawless formation of the House Select Committee on January 6 led to a one-sided, due process-free process. - The committee was gerrymandered by Speaker Pelosi, operated without a ranking member or counsel for the ranking member, and Liz Cheney was granted vice chair status to cover that up. - The committee conducted scripted hearings with prewritten Q&A paths and cherry-picked, highly edited audio and video. 2) Collaboration with mainstream media and narrative shaping - The committee worked with major outlets (The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC) to blast a narrative of an insurrection. - The speaker claims secretly recorded video shows Nancy Pelosi, her daughter, and friends admitting no real insurrection occurred. - The combined effect of the committee’s conduct and the media blitz allegedly poisoned the jury pool in Washington, DC, and suggested that venue transfers should have been permitted. 3) Fourth Amendment concerns and the dragnet - Many defendants were swept up in a broad dragnet that the speaker believes resembled a general warrant violating the Fourth Amendment. - This involved geofencing technology and cell phone data warrants to telecom providers. - People arriving after the speech and the ellipse allegedly did not see that areas normally open to the public were closed, creating a trespass trap for the unwary. 4) First Amendment rights and unequal treatment - The Department of Justice did not treat First Amendment rights of the protesters with appropriate respect. - The speaker contrasts the January 6 cases with the 2020 Portland protests, where nightly attacks on federal courthouses and antifa/BLM activity were characterized differently. - The speaker asserts that insurrection labeling in Portland was more applicable to those actions than to the largely spontaneous January 6 crowd, implying selective enforcement. 5) Selective prosecution and unequal treatment - The January 6 defendants have not been treated the same as Antifa and BLM protesters in 2020 who damaged property and threatened the White House. - The speaker calls this a flat violation of equal protection of the laws and suggests broad public belief in selective prosecution. 6) Brady violations and exculpatory evidence - Widespread Brady violations are alleged, focusing on two areas: concealed or underreported footage of the Capitol, and the large number of unreleased January 6 committee deposition transcripts (over 800), with the possibility that exculpatory evidence remains unseen by defendants and their lawyers. - The committee allegedly acted like a star chamber, and there is concern that not all exculpatory material has been made available. 7) Judicial influence and misapplication of obstruction statutes - DC federal judges are said to have been influenced by the January 6 committee’s narrative and the mainstream media. - A statute designed to close an obstruction-of-justice loophole from Arthur Andersen/Enron is claimed to be applied to activity that in many instances is protected by the First Amendment, with unequal sentencing: Antifa and BLM defendants allegedly receiving lighter outcomes or settlements, while January 6 defendants face disproportionate sentences. - The speaker concludes by expressing disagreement with the overall approach and intention to speak on these concerns.
