JUST IN: A Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump was convicted by a Florida jury of sexually abusing children, including an 11-year-old. Per police, Andrew Paul Johnson tried to bribe one of his victims by promising to share expected Jan. 6 restitution money from the Trump admin.

I called up one of the White House's "special government employees" involved in the Fulton County FBI raid. I ended up on the phone for almost two hours hearing about the "deep state" "cabal," "Satanists," poison soda, and the "pure evil" of "gay pride." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/meet-th...

After his high-profile departure from Minneapolis - widely seen as a demotion - Border Patrol official Greg Bovino says he’s “catching up on medical and administrative stuff.”

Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General for the DOJ Civil Rights Division, reposts a message referring to Don Lemon as one of “today’s klansmen.” Judges have rebuked Justice Department officials for commenting on open criminal cases.

I guess I’ll just go to my grave reminding people that the Jan. 6 attack occurred during the *Trump* administration. The arrests started under Trump, who said on Jan. 7, “to those who broke the law, you will pay.”

A year ago today, victims of Jan. 6 rioters began receiving automatic notifications that the people who assaulted them were being freed from prison.

Trump has previously said that journalists should be jailed until they reveal the source of confidential leaks. He suggested that the threat of prison sexual assault would lead reporters to cooperate with leak investigations.

I sat down with Michael Fanone and Daniel Hodges, who both defended the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 and experienced some of the most brutal violence that day. We watched their bodycam footage together - moment by moment. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvL4...

Even if the FBI refuses to work together, the MN state authorities should be able to conduct their own criminal investigation. They can interview witnesses, gather video, and subpoena records such as an autopsy report. They can’t be “shut out” completely.

We built a visual archive of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, showing exactly what happened through the lenses of the people who were there. In Chapter 4, we show how federal investigators found the rioters and built the largest criminal case in U.S. history.

This is really a work of public service. Amazing audio editing too. @npr.org reporters spent months going through footage of the Jan 6 rioters, parsing the legacy of that day and how it is being rewritten by the current administration. one.npr.org/i/nx-s1-5666...

Judge rules that alleged DC pipe bomber Brian Cole should remain in detention pending trial. The bombs were allegedly placed on Jan. 5, 2021 and discovered on Jan. 6 at a critical moment -- likely worsening the breach of the Capitol grounds. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Against my better judgment, I’ve been engaging with Jan. 6 misinformation over on Twitter. Not great, Bob!

The day after the Capitol riot, current Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said, “every single criminal who destroyed property and trespassed and threatened our legislators doing their sacred duty should be punished for that.” Now, she’s she’s embraced a much different message…

When Customs and Border Protection and Commander Gregory Bovino move into town, so does Whistlemania. These activists create and distribute thousands of 3D-printed whistles, and their piercing cries are used to signal that immigration agents are nearby. And it's working.

Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino used to call Miranda Devine “one of the best reporters in the business.” Today, after a critical New York Post story, he calls her “Deep-state Devine.”

The Blaze is making serious edits to a controversial article that made a bombshell claim that a Capitol Police officer placed pipe bombs outside the DNC and RNC on Jan. 6. Among the changes: "The pipe bomber" is now "[suspected] pipe bomber."
