Fox News is reporting sources as saying that these videotapes were handed over to the FBI soon after Jan. 6th. If true, the Justice Department did have the evidence and failed to turn it over to the defense as constitutionally required.

 

Did the “QAnon Shaman” Get Shafted on Sentencing?

New Footage Raises Questions Over the Chansley Case

If there is one image from Jan. 6th that will remain indelible with the day, it is the “QAnon Shaman.” Bare chested and wearing an animal headdress, horns and red-white-and-blue face paint, Jake Angeli Chansley is to the Capitol riot what Rosie the Riveter was to World War II. Howling and “chanting an unintelligible mantra” on the Senate floor, he is the embodiment of the unhinged rage that led to one of the most disgraceful attacks on our constitutional process in history.

 

However, the newly released Fox footage from that day raises serious questions over the prosecution and punishment of Chansley. The videotapes aired on Tucker Carlson this week show Chansley being escorted by officers through the Capitol. Two officers appear to not only guide him to the floor but actually appear to be trying to open locked doors for him. At one point, Chansley is shown walking unimpeded through a large number of armed officers with his four-foot flag-draped spear and horned Viking helmet on his way to the Senate floor.

 

It is otherworldly footage. While I admit that I approach these stories from the perspective of a long-standing criminal defense attorney, I would be outraged if I was unable to see such evidence before a plea or sentencing. At no point in the videotapes does Chansley appear violent or threatening. Indeed, he appears to thank the officers for their guidance and assistance. On the Senate floor, Chansley actually gave a prayer to thank the officers agreed “to allow us into the building.”

 

Before addressing the legal implications of this footage, one thing should be clear. The public should have been given access to this footage long ago and the Jan. 6th Committee withheld important evidence on what occurred inside the Capitol on that day.

Multiple dead in Jehovah’s Witness hall shooting in Germany

 

BERLIN (AP) — Shots were fired inside a building used by Jehovah’s Witnesses in the northern German city of Hamburg on Thursday evening, with several people killed and wounded, police said.

 

“We only know that several people died here; several people are wounded, they were taken to hospitals,” police spokesman Holger Vehren said of the shooting in the Gross Borstel district of Germany’s second-biggest city.

 

He said he had no information on the severity of the injuries suffered by the wounded. Police did not confirm German media reports, which named no sources, of six or seven dead.

 

In a Twitter update in the early hours Friday Hamburg police said they believed there was only one shooter, and they were gradually rolling back security forces from the area.

 

“The investigation into the motive behind the crime continues,” police said.

 

The scene of the shooting was the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Kingdom Hall, a modern and boxy three-story building next door to an auto repair shop.

 

Vehren said police were alerted to the shooting about 9:15 p.m. and were on the scene quickly.

 

He said that after officers arrived and found people with apparent gunshot wounds on the ground floor, they heard a shot from an upper floor and found a fatally wounded person upstairs who may have been a shooter. He said police did not have to use their firearms.

 

Vehren said there was no indication that a shooter was on the run and that it appeared likely that the perpetrator was either in the building or among the dead.

Malaysia ex-PM Muhyiddin charged with corruption, laundering

 

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin was charged Friday with corruption and money laundering, making him Malaysia’s second ex-leader to be indicted after leaving office.

 

Muhyiddin, 75, pleaded innocent to four charges of abusing his power to obtain 232.5 million ringgit ($51.4 million) bribes for his party and two charges of money laundering involving 195 million ringgit ($43 million). He has been released on bail.

 

Muhyiddin was arrested Thursday by the anti-graft agency, which questioned him over government stimulus projects to ethnic Malay contractors during the COVID-19 pandemic. He then slammed the charges against him as political persecution to crush his opposition alliance ahead of state elections. Outside the court building Friday, some supporters carried banners which read “malicious intent.”

 

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim rejected accusations that the charges were politically motivated and noted the investigations were carried out independently by the anti-graft agency. After taking power in November, Anwar ordered a review of government projects approved by past administrations including Muhyiddin, who led Malaysia from March 2020 until August 2021.

Must of heard word of a coming ==Baby Bonus''?

 

Former President Donald Trump had a special message for the men in the audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference Saturday when he detailed his plans to have 'baby bonuses' for couples - part of his pitch to take the White House again.

 

'We will support baby boomers and we will support baby bonuses for a new baby boom, how does that sound? I want a baby boom,' Trump said, chuckling, 'You men are so lucky out there. You are so lucky, men.'

I've updated this chart of proposed budget deficits to include Biden's new budget today.

 

Keep in mind there's always a bit of wishful thinking in a budget proposal (about GDP growth, tax rev, or spending costs), but Biden isn't even pretending to get deficits under control

 

In fact, the situation seems worse than just a year ago. At that time, Biden had proposed that in FY 2024 the budget deficit would be 4.5% of GDP. Now he's saying it will be 6.8% in 2024… and that's if he gets everything he wants!

 

Of course, the prior FY 2024 estimate was contingent on him getting everything he proposed last year too. That didn't happen, which makes 2024 look even worse. But still, things are unraveling quickly. Play this story forward another few years.
