It Cost Taxpayers $483 Million To Send National Guard Troops To Protect D.C.


Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said Monday the price of sending National Guard troops to protect the area around the Capitol from January 6 to March 15 will total $483 million, $284 million for personnel and $199 million for operations.

5,000 troops are slated to remain in the city until March 15 as Trump’s Senate impeachment trial poses security concerns, Politico reported, including “mass demonstrations,” but it’s unclear if there is a specific threat.

In the aftermath of the Capitol riots, 25,000 National Guard troops flooded Washington, D.C., for Biden’s inauguration in an effort to prevent further violence.

The majority of troops remaining in the city will do so voluntarily, according to Politico.

Trump appointee arrested in connection with Capitol riot

A Trump political appointee who was allegedly employed by the State Department at the time of the riot has been arrested in connection with the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Federico Klein is accused of assaulting law enforcement and committing other crimes during the deadly siege. 

Klein, 42, worked in the Office of Brazilian and Southern Cone Affairs at the time of the riot and held a top-secret security clearance, according to an affidavit obtained by CBS News. He was seen in body cam and other video footage physically clashing with police, the court document said. 

Klein "violently shoved a riot shield that apparently had been taken from an officer, towards the officers trying to stop the mob from gaining access to the building. In doing so, Klein pushed the riot shield in between the doors to the Capitol, preventing officers from closing the doors," the affidavit said. 

Another video showed Klein "violently [shoving] the shield into an officer's body in an attempt to breach the police line," according to the court document.  

He also allegedly refused an officer's request to move out of the way when the officer was trying to help a colleague who had been dragged into the crowd. 

Klein appeared in court via teleconference on Friday, telling a federal magistrate judge that he had trouble sleeping in his jail cell because cockroaches crawled over him at night. He also said he is in the process of retaining his own counsel.

NYT: Cellphone Data Tie Proud Boys Member With Trump White House Before Capitol Riot

March 06, 2021 7:00 PM


Federal law enforcement officials have uncovered a contact between former President Donald Trump’s White House and a member of the far-right nationalist group the Proud Boys mere days before the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. The FBI obtained “location, cellular, and call record data” that revealed the information, reports the New York Times, citing an unnamed source who was briefed on the investigation. The FBI hasn’t been able to figure out what the two discussed and the source wouldn’t reveal any names of the people on either end of the call.

Word on the call comes as the leader of the group, Enrique Tarrio, confirmed he called Trump associate Roger Stone days before the assault on the Capitol. Tarrio called during a protest in front of Sen. Marco Rubio’s home and he put Stone on speaker phone to talk to the demonstrators. An official said that wasn’t the call in question. That means two members of the Proud Boys were in touch with people associated with the White House, illustrating how extremist groups had ties to people close to the Trump administration.

Earlier this week, there wre reports that federal investigators were looking into communications between members of Congress and members of the mob that stormed the Capitol. CNN reported that there were “indications of contact” in the days surrounding Jan. 6. But the New York Times says so far there’s been “no evidence of communications” between rioters and lawmakers during the attack itself.

At least one person associated with the previous administration allegedly took part in the riot. A former State Department aide, Federico Klein, was arrested Thursday for participating in the riot. Klein thus became the first known Trump official to be charged with crimes connected to the Capitol riot. Videos reportedly show Klein assaulting law enforcement officers with a stolen riot shield. Prosecutors had asked Klein be detained before trial but the judge set a bail hearing for Tuesday.

Trump Demands GOP Stop Using His Name, Likeness for Fundraising

Former President Donald Trump is none too happy that Republican organizations are using his name to raise money. His lawyers sent cease-and-desist letters Friday to three of the largest Republican organizations demanding they stop using the former president’s name and likeness in fundraising and merchandise. Politico was first to report the news and several outlets later confirmed. The letters were sent to the Republican National Committee, the National Republican Congressional Committee, and the National Republican Senate Committee.

New evidence suggests ‘alliance’ between Oath Keepers, Proud Boys ahead of Jan. 6

The evidence is the first to suggest coordination among the various extremist groups as they prepared to descend on Washington.

03/24/2021 09:08 AM EDT

Updated: 03/24/2021 11:38 AM EDT

A key member of the Oath Keepers militia told associates he had coordinated alliances with the Proud Boys and other paramilitary groups in advance of Donald Trump’s Jan. 6 rally, according to new evidence filed by the Justice Department.

Spurred on by the president's incendiary rhetoric at that day's rally, Trump supporters, including Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, rioted at the Capitol and assaulted police officers later that day in an effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Kelly Meggs, the Florida leader of the Oath Keepers — who’s been charged along with nine others with conspiring to stop Congress from certifying the 2020 election — said in private messages obtained by prosecutors that he’d been in touch repeatedly with Proud Boys leadership in particular. He said he had worked out a strategy to confront potential violence from antifa, a loosely organized collection of left-wing extremists.

“This week I organized an alliance between Oath Keepers, Florida 3%ers, and Proud Boys,” Meggs wrote in a Dec. 19 message to an associate via Facebook. “We have decided to work together and shut this sheit down.”

In Dec. 22 and Dec. 25 messages, Meggs got more specific, describing tactical maneuvers they would conduct with the Proud Boys if they encountered antifa: “We’re going to march with them for awhile then fall to the back of the crowd and turn off. Then we will have the Proud Boys get in front of them the cops will get between antifa and Proud Boys. We will come in behind antifa and beat the hell out of them.”

The evidence is the first to suggest coordination among the various extremist groups as they prepared to descend on Washington. Oath Keepers attorneys have emphasized in court papers that evidence they were preparing for violence was limited to potential confrontation with antifa — not a plan to storm the Capitol.

But prosecutors say the planning, plus a growing body of evidence that the Oath Keepers executed a coordinated plan to enter the Capitol and rallied to the group’s leader, Stewart Rhodes, after first breaching the building, suggesting it was an element of their effort. In addition, prosecutors revealed messages of Oath Keepers celebrating the Capitol assault and promising to “reload” for further action.

Well, looks like Republicans busy killing democracy in Georgia?

The "freedom/less regulation" loving Republicans unable to handle defeat in their once safe state of Georgia, just passed sweeping legislation to target all the voters that voted for Biden. And all this even though the regulations that were there before, were WRITTEN by Republicans in control in the last four years.

One of the new rules in the legislation actually bans anyone from even giving water or food to anyone waiting hours in lengthy lines (lines they made longer with previous suppression tactics, eh). Sh!t almost cartoonishly wicked. It's basically easier to buy an assault styled weapon than it is to vote in the US? Republicans not even hiding their fascist tendencies any more. Why they so afraid to face the voters? :lol:

Dominion Voting sues Fox for $1.6B over 2020 election claims

MAR 26, 2021

WASHINGTON (AP) — Dominion Voting Systems has filed a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News, arguing the cable news giant falsely claimed in an effort to boost faltering ratings that the voting company rigged the 2020 election. Friday's defamation lawsuit is the first filed against a media outlet by the Denver-based company at the center of false claims spread by President Donald Trump and his allies after Trump's election loss to Joe Biden. Those claims helped spur on rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Fox News has not responded to an email from The Associated Press seeking comment on the lawsuit. A copy of the lawsuit was obtained by the AP.

Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz under investigation for sexual assault and sex-trafficking of a minor.

WASHINGTON — Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz, a prominent conservative in Congress and a close ally of former President Donald Trump, said Tuesday he is being investigated by the Justice Department over a former relationship but denied any criminal wrongdoing.

Gaetz, who represents parts of western Florida, is accused of having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl and paying her to travel with him, and he is under investigation to determine if he violated federal sex trafficking laws, a person familiar with the case told The Associated Press.

The probe has been underway for nearly a year and Gaetz has been aware for months that he was under investigation, the person said. The Justice Department has also been looking into whether Gaetz, 38, may have also been involved in relationships with other underage girls, the person said.

https://time.com/5951419/matt-gaetz-inv ... isconduct/


The probe into Gaetz was started while another investigation into one of his friends (Joel Greenberg) was ongoing.

If this investigation of one of Trump's biggest defenders was started by Trump's DOJ, you know the charges were onerous.

Wisconsin governor seeks legal fees from Trump, Republicans

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Democratic Gov. Tony Evers is seeking more than $250,000 in legal fees from former President Donald Trump and a Republican Party official related to fighting a pair of election lawsuits filed last year.

Evers made the request in two different federal courts on Wednesday, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on Thursday.

If Evers is successful, Trump would have to pay more than $145,000 in one case. In the other, William Feehan, the chairman of the Republican Party of La Crosse County, would have to pay about $107,000. Evers also asked for more money to deter future meritless lawsuits, according to his filings.

Trump and his supporters filed several lawsuits in state and federal courts after he narrowly lost Wisconsin to Democrat Joe Biden. Republicans lost every challenge.

Trump had sought to have the Republican-controlled Legislature decide how to award the state’s 10 electoral votes instead of voters, arguing that long-standing voting practices in Wisconsin were improper.

U.S. District Judge Brett Ludwig said letting state lawmakers decide the outcome of the election would have resulted in “probably the most remarkable ruling in the history of this court or the federal judiciary.” Ludwig, who was put on the bench by Trump, ruled against him in December.

Feehan’s lawsuit alleged elaborate conspiracies that have been widely discredited. U.S. District Judge Pamela Pepper threw out the case in December.

Feehan is represented by Sidney Powell, who is now the target of a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems, which makes voting machines.

Evers’ attorney, Jeffrey Mandell, told Pepper that Wisconsin residents should not be on the hook for the cost of defending against a lawsuit that was “frivolous” and “without any merit.”

Pfizer CEO says Trump told him vaccine 'will help me' with election

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla says in an interview set to run Friday that former President Trump told him before last year's election that a coronavirus vaccine could help his chances.

On clips from "The Carlos Watson Show" provided in advance exclusively to The Hill, Bourla says that Trump would call to encourage him to get the vaccine out quickly, but emphasized that “he never pressed me to do something that would be inappropriate with a vaccine.” 

“In the few times that he was telling me that we need to do it fast — first he would say, ‘We need to do it quickly; people are dying,’ and then also he would add, ‘Of course it will help me also in the election, but people is the important thing.’”

Gaetz associate working toward plea deal with prosecutors

An associate of Rep. Matt Gaetz's is working toward a plea deal with federal prosecutors investigating a sex trafficking operation, potentially escalating the legal and political jeopardy facing the Florida congressman

ORLANDO, Fla. -- An associate of Rep. Matt Gaetz's is working toward a plea deal with federal prosecutors investigating a sex trafficking operation, potentially escalating the legal and political jeopardy facing the Florida congressman.

The revelation that a political ally of Gaetz's, Joel Greenberg, is seeking to strike a plea deal with investigators came during a hearing Thursday at federal court in Orlando. It's a significant step in the case and signals that Greenberg could potentially serve as a witness in the Justice Department’s investigation into Gaetz.

“I am sure Matt Gaetz is not feeling very comfortable today,” Fritz Scheller, a lawyer for Greenberg, said after the hearing.

Federal prosecutors are examining whether Gaetz and Greenberg paid underage girls or offered them gifts in exchange for sex, according to two people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity because they could not discuss details publicly. Gaetz has denied the allegations and insists he will not resign his seat in Congress.

Trump campaign chief Manafort’s associate Kilimnik gave Russia 2016 election strategy, polling, U.S. says

A longtime associate of former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign chief Paul Manafort gave Russian intelligence agencies “sensitive information on polling and campaign strategy” during the election that year, the U.S. Treasury Department said.

Manafort’s associate, Konstantin Kilimnik, “also sought to promote the narrative that Ukraine, not Russia, had interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election,” the department said Thursday as the Biden administration announced new sanctions on Russia, Kilimnik and others.

Those sanctions relate in part to Russia’s alleged effort to affect the outcome of the 2020 U.S. presidential election.

Oath Keepers Member Is 1st To Plead Guilty In Capitol Riot Investigation

Updated April 16, 2021 1:50 PM ET

A heavy metal musician and founding member of the Oath Keepers extremist group pleaded guilty Friday to charges connected to the storming of the U.S. Capitol and agreed to cooperate with investigators — a first in the massive probe into the deadly Jan. 6 assault.

Jon Schaffer, a guitarist and songwriter for the heavy metal band Iced Earth, entered his plea during a hearing in federal court in Washington, D.C. The plea agreement, which comes 100 days after a mob of Trump supporters violently overran the Capitol, marks a significant step for prosecutors in the case.

Schaffer, who originally faced six counts, pleaded guilty to two charges — obstructing an official proceeding [20 years] and entering restricted grounds with a dangerous weapon [10 years].

In his plea deal, Schaffer acknowledged that on Jan. 6 he was among the first people to force their way through police lines and into the Capitol. He also acknowledged wearing a tactical vest and carrying bear spray as he did so.

At Friday's hearing, U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta walked Schaffer through the plea agreement and the charges.

"Are you pleading guilty, Mr. Schaffer, because you are in fact guilty, sir?" Mehta asked.

"Yes," Schaffer replied.

Mehta said the agreement stipulates that Schaffer fully cooperate with investigators, including providing testimony and witness interviews.
...


Schaffer was arrested in mid-January after turning himself in to the FBI in Indiana. He's been in government custody since then.

The two charges against him carry a maximum sentence of 20 years and 10 years, respectively, although the judge said that — in light of the plea agreement — Schaffer is facing from 3 1/2 to four years under sentencing guidelines.

No sentencing date has been set.
