    1. were probably three or four three or four suspicious actors and 20 suspicious actors total yes in that room

      Wait a second-- what exactly makes them "suspicious"? What she means by suspicious of course--without saying it directly-- is the idea that perhaps there were plants or some kind of dark agents that were provoking the crowd to do something other than what they would have done "naturally". But no evidence is offered for this.

      She may be referring to the widely covered mention in the Jan 6 report of "unindicted co-conspirators" but Andrew McCabe former acting director and deputy director of the FBI under Trump lays it out.

      “When an indictment is written, at the time the indictment is written, and signed off by the judge, there are people who need to be referred to, in the indictment, just to make it a coherent story, so it makes sense, but who the government is not prepared to charge at that time,” McCabe said. “There may be all kinds of different reasons that they’re not prepared to charge that person at that time.”

      “But the one reason that does not exist is the one that [Carlson] suggested,” McCabe added. “It’s not an undercover officer, because you cannot refer to those people as unindicted co-conspirators.”

      Indeed, federal case law from 1985 (United States v. Rodriguez) acknowledged that “government agents and informers cannot be conspirators.”

      Also, a Department of Justice manual advises federal prosecutors not to identify unindicted co-conspirators by name without “some significant justification.”

      In a 2004 paper, American University Washington College of Law Professor Ira P. Robbins argued that naming those individuals who have not been charged with a crime should be prohibited because it violates their due process rights.

    2. there is a duty on the part of police once they pushed somebody out of the tunnel or attempting to push them out of the tunnel and they fall to render Aid or to get them up and get them out of the tunnel

      I understand that's probably normally the case, but when there is such a large mob that the police literally cannot control it, then is that still the case? They can only do physically what can be done.

    3. let alone have the identity the name of the police officer involved have his name concealed from the public for months um that just never happens

      This simply isn't true. Its totally routine for an officer's name to be withheld pending an internal investigation. Further, how is the "media" to blame as being in "cahoots" with congress even related to this. It's actually the DC police that were in charge of the investigation.

    4. they still denied um deploying the national Guardsmen which of course Trump had already offered in December

      This is simply not true, and indeed obviously false on several different levels. First, there was never a formal request made. Second, DOD defense chief Miller never forwarded any request on to the national guard as there was no request made and didn't deem it worthwhile. So... it appears that 1) a formal request wasn't made, and 2) it was Trump's own DOD chief that would have been involved in carrying it out if there was.

      Regardless, let's acknowledge that it was Trump himself that was calling for a massive protest, about a claim that he himself already knew was bogus-- not someone else. So, is the fault with Trump for instigating it, or with him as commander-in-chief for not ensuring that his direct reports who he hand picked were carrying out his wishes?

    5. and were pushing them pretty violently and there was a concrete barrier and they several of these guys got flipped over

      I'm sorry, why are we even talking about this? Protestors are moving on the capitol when congress is in session, damn right they're going to apply maximum force.

    6. tactics that they're not authorized to use

      Evidence please?

    7. what's depicted here is a police mob confronting a mob

      I think its a completely outmanned police force that is defending the nation's capitol from a mob. It's interesting that they admit that this is a "mob" not a peaceful gathering of citizens.

    8. January 6th Demands a full and impartial investigation

      Of course we just had a bi-partisan investigation by congress... now I suppose you could argue that they were biased because they were actually the ones being attacked. But of course there was also a DOJ investigation, and an FBI investigation-- which presumably these people are suggesting were also biased. Who else are they suggesting here might be in a position to conduct such an investigation. Let's see if they propose something...

    9. but it's very clear in the video and the audio that she was uh very upset and trying to stop what was happening

      It's just not clear at all. Here's a great article about this. https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2021-08-24/officer-killed-ashli-babbitt

    10. she got after the police officers who were there why aren't you stopping this

      I'm sorry-- where is the evidence for this?

    11. she stepped forward and she punched him in the face

      It's not clear to me at all exactly what's going on there. Did she throw up her hands, was she jostled by the crowd? Why was she there in the first place?

    12. he answer their questions in an internal affairs investigation

      Sure-- so what was the outcome of the internal affairs process?

    13. I would prefer to have a lawyer present

      Smart man-- I would ask for the same thing.

    14. clearly from in any way this was not objectively reasonable

      This guy provides no logic in defense of this statement, because to me it seems reasonable that if an angry mob is charging the most hallowed seat of our government that shots are going to be fired.

      Imagine if this mob was trying to attack the white house, with the president inside-- isn't it reasonable to think I might be shot by the securty forces? Well, this is the equivalent of that. Congress was in session and there were hundreds of legislators inside.

    15. he warned her you know he yelled at her to stop

      The woman is literally trying to break down the barricaded door where the window is clearly already damaged and chairs are stacked on the other side. Only an idiot wouldn't realize that by participating in a crowd that is literally trying break into the capitol that they are putting their life at risk.

      The ironic thing is that I'm sure if the partisan lens were reversed and this was "antifa" or some other such protest with a similar sized crowd, there would be no such sympathy shown.

      Regardless this is really a question of the appropriate use of police force, which is tangential to the real questions here-- namely how this came to be and the role that Trump had in inciting this and then prolonging it.

    16. immediately medely that area should have been taped off sealed off it becomes a crime scene and should await the response of Crime Scene Investigation Unit

      Yeah except that maybe the entire building was under attack for the next couple hours?

    17. execution of Ashley babit

      It's a shame that she was killed in the course of the defense of the capital by the police. But can't we say that the worst thing that happened that day was the assault on the capital by 1000s of americans?

    18. what was the worst thing that we saw of violence on behalf of the Trump side

      Well, to be fair, I'd say them cornering the police in the tunnel and attacking them in there is probably worse in the sense of how it escalated the event. Police were beat with aluminum bats and all other kinds of things.

    19. you were hearing people saying I was there and I didn't I didn't see any of this stuff

      Hard to say how many folks of the thousands that showed up to the protest were indeed never close to the more serious stuff. And presumably were not indicted.

    20. his case um was not a result of being struck with any object

      But would he still be alive today if the protestors had not attacked the capitol? Most likely. So, this logic doesn't get much sympathy from me.

    21. in the aftermath of January 6th four police officers who were present that day committed suicide

      This in and of itself is a powerful testament to how overwhelming and out of control this violent protest was-- and also in a sense why the authorities have little or no sympathy to those involved.

    22. but uh there was clearly enough trouble from Trump supporters uh because it's caught on security video where things were hurled at the police pieces of furniture a 16t aluminum ladder was they tried to use as a battering ram where does a 16t aluminum ladder come from on the Capital grounds during a protest

      Ok-- so at least here there's someone who is willing to accept what was pretty obvious to everyone. Look at this footage here. These people are storming the capitol and battering the doors down! And the hundreds of people here are all participating in this. Are they really trying to argue that they were "invited in"? Its preposterous.

    23. how significant was the violence on the Trump side

      I'm not sure in the documentary why they're making a distinction between "trump" supporters and others. Is this even a meaningful thing?

    24. January 6 prisoner Jake Lang over the phone to learn about their conditions

      They've been trying to force a plea deal on him-- yes absolutely.

      From an article: "According to video evidence, some of which the upstate New York filmed himself, Edward Jacob Lang hit officers with an aluminum baseball bat and protective shields, and kicked an officer that was on the ground.

      Lang has been charged with 13 counts, including several felonies, but his attorneys say the defendant was a source of help that day to people who were being trampled or beaten by police officers. One individual even credits Lang for saving his life. “There was no intention to actually harm. It was more warning signs, more trying to separate two crowds, more adrenaline,” said Steven Alan Metcalf, Lang’s attorney. "This is about him jumping into a chaotic situation and doing what he can.” But also... "Nichols noted, however, that Lang’s defense attorneys haven’t even tried to use the jail’s laptops — which have long wait times and limited access. With this in mind, the judge said he isn’t prepared to modify Lang’s confinement conditions.

      “How am I supposed to decide if the current policy is unworkable for you if you haven’t tried under the policy?” Nichols asked.

      Nichols also said that he had to deny the motion for release because Lang has not shown any remorse for his behavior at the insurrection, where the defendant was at the front of a mob and verbally encouraging violence.

      “This conduct was not in a momentary heat of passion,” Nichols said. “This was conduct over the course of a couple of hours.”

      Nichols said he would be willing to review a motion to modify Lang’s confinement conditions if they find the jail’s laptop policy to be unworkable. Until then, Lang will remain behind bars. "

      So, the guy beat and kicked officers who were defending the capitol. Hard to feel too sorry for the guy.

    25. if you ever dare to stand um for your Constitution

      By... attacking the capitol? On a notion that somehow the vote was stolen from Trump, an allegation that has failed to win the day in any of the 60 court cases it was filed in? These people are delusional. It really shows how much Trump is at fault for all this though. These people listened to him and believed him. Its a shame, but now they are suffering the consequences of their actions.

    26. Matt was a very kind-hearted person

      This is really not a question. In fact, it seems that Matt was really drawn in by Trump. An article on Ayers says:

      "During a July 12 hearing before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection, Ayres testified that he felt as if Trump had called him to Washington that day. He said he believed that Trump would join them at the Capitol and held out hope that the 2020 presidential election results could be overturned in favor of the Republican incumbent.

      “I felt like I had like horse blinders on. I was locked in the whole time,” Ayres said."

    27. in Matt's case and so many others they simply didn't have the evidence

      Except they did. Matt's friend from home who he traveled there with and entered the building with was clearly in the capitol for 90 minutes. In Ayers case, he showed remorse and apoligized for his actions and got a lighter sentence (probation) as a result-- presumably the same might have been offered to Matt.

    28. with police saying come on in

      This has been argued in many of the court cases. Some January 6 defendants have claimed that Capitol Police officers “invited them in” or allowed them to enter the Capitol building. This argument is based on various videos showing officers interacting with protesters in ways that some interpret as permissive. For example, some clips show officers standing by or even opening barriers as the crowd approached.

      However, these claims generally have not held up in court as a defense. In many cases, footage and testimony indicate that officers were attempting to de-escalate the situation rather than actively allowing or inviting the rioters to enter. The actions of the officers were often interpreted as a response to being overwhelmed by the size and aggression of the crowd, rather than an endorsement or permission to breach the Capitol.

      For instance, in the case of Jacob Chansley, also known as the “QAnon Shaman,” court documents and video evidence show officers trying to manage the situation by asking rioters to remain calm and leave the area rather than encouraging them to proceed. Similarly, the Justice Department has noted that about 140 officers were assaulted, indicating a violent breach rather than a peaceful entry sanctioned by law enforcement.

    29. people committing crimes blatantly robbing and looting stores in California and places and they're not even being arrested

      This argument is a total non-sequiter. I can't go commit a serious offense in san francisco and plead that i should get off because shoplifters get it easy. I mean I could-- but is any judge going to spend even a second considering that?

    30. he decided to end his own life

      Tragic for sure. But maybe don't attack the capitol? Are the punishments extreme? Yes, but these people made an adult decision to do this.

    31. everyone who was at the capital

      As far as I understand they only targeted people that broke in or were clearly instigating attacks. People who were just in the general area of the capitol were not indicted.

    32. Paul Irving and Michael Stanger why did they repeatedly reject please from Sten sunand the ex Capital police chief for extra help that day

      When you read that actual transcripts of the interviews that the Jan 6 committee did of each of these individuals, the story is not that these folks rejected his claim, but that the group of the four security leaders who got together decided that the basis of the recommendation to add national guard was not warranted. So, clearly because of this decision they didn't have sufficient forces. Was that an error? In retrospect its reasonable to think so, but can we draw any further conclusions from that? Probably not without further evidence, which I am not seeing.

    33. the way they're going after people is absolutely insane

      This really feels like an opinion piece, not a documentary. This here is the opinion of the narrator--not really an unbiased take. Another take is that this was one of the most serious assaults on one of our most central bodies of government that has ever happened.

    34. Suburban neighborhoods front doors were blown off in flashbangs tossed inside family members were greeted with the laser sights of M4 carbines trained on their bodies eve

      Yep, probably unnecessary. I don't think any of us can deny that ordinary arrests in many cases have escalated completely unnecessarily. However, these people did break into one of our most sacred institutions. So, one can also say that this probably isn't unexpected given how serious of a charge this is.

    35. Who provided security for Roger Stone on January 5th

      Security for Roger Stone? Ok.

    36. the Department of Justice began rounding up suspects the very next day

      If they were guilty of attacking the capitol, there's nothing wrong with the speed.

    37. that is the truth that I believe

      She believes it but she's provided no evidence to support it, and her testimony is not in and of itself noteworthy otherwise.

    38. it's clearly not me but the officers in that tunnel that were the aggressor

      The video directly shows the officers cornered in a tunnel being attacked by a mob of which she was a part. How is she possibly saying this with a straight face?

    39. why was the capital intentionally unsecure

      What evidence is provided to suggest that it was intentionally unsecure?

      Way to flip the argument on its head. In other words: (I guess?) "You should have known a much larger violent mob was coming, and therefore you should have increased the police presence more?"

      This argument is pure madness. It's arguing that the blame for the capitol being overrun isn't the actual crowd itself, or perhaps the president who urged them all to show up, but rather with those in charge of the response who failed to grasp how extreme it was going to get.

      Orwellian.

    40. but it did not go into contributing factors and you know the families were not surprised about the heart attack because of the health conditions but you cannot ignore the timing again it raises troubling questions

      The guy was involved in a violent protest and suffered a heart attack. Ok.... next. What exactly are the "troubling questions" he doesn't say.

    41. cited by Donald Trump's speech that day at the ellipse they're burying their head in the sand

      She's citing the president? That's hardly objective.

    42. inside job of January 6

      Evidence in support of the inside job?

    43. that is what propelled them to then hijack the 2020 presidential election and then figure out a way after

      Evidence please?

    44. who somehow still believe that the events of January 6th were organic

      She's not offering any evidence that they weren't.

    45. Julie Kelly political commentator and Senior contribut to American greatness

      Have never heard of "American Greatness" as a news organization. It is effectively named after MAGA, the Trump campaign slogan, and owned by Chris Buskirk, who wrote "Donald Trump vs the Leviathan" a book that is summarized as "The success of the Trump presidency will be judged in large part on his ability to reduce the size and scope of the deep state. The unelected, unaccountable permanent bureaucratic leviathan that winds itself around the body and squeezes its life out must be dismantled if Trump’s legacy is to be a permanent restoration of republican government. Fortunately, his administration is doing that. Quietly and without fanfare he is reducing oppressive regulation and reining in what has become the fourth, all-powerful branch of government. There is much yet to be done, but less than two years in, President Trump has taken steps to return power to its rightful home―the sovereign American citizen."

      Maybe we can say that these folks aren't maybe the most unbiased sources in the world?

    46. the biggest fraud perpetrated on the American people until January 6 the Russia collusion hoax

      This language is tilted... And its really saying just saying these people think they had a reason to protest. But that's not in question here. Lots of people protest lots of things. Some even break into buildings. None of these things are in question. The question is the response by the president.

    47. Victoria white from Rochester Minnesota with the crowd had come up to the the tun entrance and she says she had been pushed in by the momentum of the crowd and she ended up being trapped against one of the walls

      The crowd is pushing into this tunnel, the officers are under attack by a violent crowd.

    48. he was completely out of control

      Was he really? Seems like someone amped up on adrenaline because the building is being attacked.

    49. he got into a screaming match with the bystanders protesters uh and it got very personal and very heated the oathkeepers came onto this scene just outside the Rotunda and got in between the combatants and de escalated it made sure the officer knew he is safe

      Notice how the video B roll being shown here has no direct relevance to what's being claimed in the script. It is not clear who this person is and we don't see them doing anything at all that correlates to what the narrator is saying. These little anecdotes are so trivial, and also unsupported by evidence, within the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

      This video is propaganda. Documentaries that are trying to do a faithful job do not resort to tactics like this.

    50. it is unconscionable for an officer to do such a thing

      These guys are literally climbing the walls of the capitol in fatigues.

    51. the story of January 6 changes drastically depending on who is telling it

      Well that's certainly true. :)

    52. the capol police per their own timeline received the authorization request from the Department of Defense where I was chief of staff

      This version of events is completely unsubstantiated by the DOD IG's own internal review, which is available here.

      Specifically Patel claims that the Capitol Police and Mayor Bowser declined requests for additional National Guard support before January 6. The OIG report, however, does not indicate ANY denial of support by key actors. Rather it states that the DCNG support was approved on January 5, that DCNG forces were in place at a wide range of traffic control points the morning of Jan 6, and that an additional QRF (Quick reaction force) of 40 individuals, which is what the various agencies agreed to were in place and in fact mobilized as the situation escalated on January 6.

      Specifically wrt QRF team of 40 DCNG folks in riot gear, as the report outlines, it was actually McCarthy, the speaker of the house, who was the individual responsible for activating those additional personnel that day, which he finally began after a call at 2:20pm, over an hour and twenty minutes after rioters overwhelmed capitol police. There were further delays in deployment and ultimately they were deployed late enough in the day that they were not able to be effective.

    53. one thing everybody's wondering about January 6

      Notice that many of the most important questions are not asked here. Like... what was Trump himself doing that day.

    54. we were there to do security

      Just on prima facia evidence, they did a pretty terrible job of that. They were there to "provide security" and yet thousands of people stormed the capitol. So, are they a joke? In fact, where is the footage of any Oathkeepers actually in the front lines surrounding the capitol keeping folks from attacking the police in the first case? It looks like there are some isolated incidents of them helping after the fact-- presumably because they were concerned that their reputation might be in tatters otherwise?

    55. President Trump might enact the Insurrection act and call up militia to counter antifa if there was antifa violence

      Lets just look at how absolutely nuts some of these statements are. The oathkeepers were there because they thought that Trump might call them to duty if there was "antifa violence" on the day he asked all his flag waving supporters to go march down to the capitol and fight like hell to force mike pence to break his oath of office? This is absurd.

    56. what do we do Department of Defense takes that authorization and goes to Mayor Bowser literally and goes to the Capitol Police and says the president has said this many thousands of National Guards men and women are at your disposal but you need to make the request

      This statement is directly contradicted by numerous reports, including by reporters that were embedded with Miller on that very day. And if all that wasn't enough the DOD-- which we should be reminded is under the control of the Commander-in-chief-- directly refused an immediate quick reaction force on the morning of Jan 6. Did Trump himself refuse that, or was he in fact unreachable? Which is worse?

      More importantly, why isn't this interviewer not asking these ridiculously obvious questions?

      https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/12/15/no-trump-did-not-order-10000-troops-secure-capitol-jan-6/

    57. I'm like we don't do that Trump supporters we don't do that

      I'm sure that there are some Trump supporters who indeed wouldn't "do that". But it's pretty obvious that there are others who would-- simply because in any crowd of 10000 there is a broad diversity of people, backgrounds, philosophies and willingness to bend the rules or flat out break them. And there were thousands of known Trump supporters who entered the building illegally, and many were arrested and later emotionally apologized for it like Mr. Ayers. When crowds come together, they do things they wouldn't otherwise do. That's why they call it "mob rule". There is nothing but speculation here.

    58. hey what are you guys doing you know basically for security

      Yeah, you know, for this massive protest that I am calling where 10s of 1000s of my crazy supporters are going to show up and I'm going to urge them to march on the capitol and insist that the vice president break his oath of office and refuse to certify the election.

    59. the biggest investigation in FBI history

      I've pegged this annotation to the top in order to summarize.

      This documentary was produced by Epoch TV which is a conservative pro-trump media organization run by the Falun Gong. The documentary does not ask the key questions, it focuses on a narrow set of the details around Jan 6, does not focus on key questions about Trump's own involvement and his lack of response on that day. Any unbiased documentary would do that, and would serve all perspectives.

      It's possible that there is a hard-hitting documentary that will come eventually that digs deeper and exposes serious questions. This is not that.

      In my annotations on this documentary I address point by point the tone, individuals, arguments, logic etc related to each segment of the piece.

      But my overall argument is simple, and has nothing to do with these details. Rather, it is that: 1. Trump contested the election 2. Had no evidence to back up his claims 3. In fact, he failed in all 60 lawsuits he filed to prove any wrongdoing. You would think that he chose the jurisdictions to file those lawsuits carefully enough that he would find at least ONE court favorable to reasonable claims that he made. No. It's clear that they were bogus, as every credible commenter that has reviewed them in detail has found. 4. He called at the very least the secretary of state of Georgia, Brad Raffensperger, and asked him, on a recorded line, to "find him" 11,000 votes. Thankfully Brad upheld the law he was sworn to protect and did not. How many others did Trump do this to?<br /> 5. Despite all this, Trump still called for a massive protest on Jan 6. 6. His call to his supporters on his completely insubstantiated claims brought 10000+ of his supporters to DC. 7. Including, through Stone and Giuliani, quasi militia groups like the Oathkeepers and Proud Boys, who even apparently stockpiled guns nearby. 8. He then held a speech on Jan 6 to his supporters and urged them to march to the capitol and "fight like Hell and if you don’t fight like Hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore". Yes he also mentioned them to march "peacefully and patriotically" but mostly to "fight" at least 20 other times. 9. He also urged his Vice President to not certify the electors, in direct contradiction of his duties of office and the constitution. 10. In doing so, he cited a baseless constitutional memo by John Eastman, that his team (Giuliani and Jenna Ellis) directly coordinated with Eastman. This memo has now been completely discredited-- including by Pence himself, who to his credit refused to do it. 11. Those protestors then did that... they marched on the capitol and fought. Many of them shouted "Hang Mike Pence". 12. The Capitol police tried to hold the protestors back, but they were overwhelmed. 13. Then the protestors broke in and stormed the capitol and ran rampant through offices and so forth, looting and vandalizing it while congressional staff were barricaded on the floor. 14. People died, and over the weeks after four members of the police committed suicide because of the trauma they experienced. 15. And for nearly 3 hours during all this, Trump was completely unavailable to staff and the key members of the defense department and the administration, while he like everyone else in America presumably watched this unfold on live TV, hoping that this crisis and chaos would somehow prevent the certification of the vote. 16. If indeed Trump was as shocked and horrified as the rest of us at what was unfolding and, indeed, did not want any of this to happen, then he would have immediately implored his supporters to stand down. He did not. This is the guy who carries the nuclear football and has to be ready to defend the country on a moment's notice. He was a mile away. 17. The president's oath is simple: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." It's short and simple. Trump violated that oath.

      If anyone would do ANY of these things except, perhaps briefly, the first one. Then they are unfit to serve.

      This "real story" of January 6 only deals with a few details around what happened at the capitol-- not with the entirety of the actual real story leading up to that day.

    60. the prosecutors certainly shows that these fellows communicated with each other leading up to the day and and on the day uh phone calls texts things like that the rub comes in how do you interpret that what was in the minds of the oathkeepers

      What he's saying here is that the prosecutors provided extensive documentation of communication between the senior leadership of the oathkeepers that clearly lays out their "intentions" and is trying to deflect that by effectively saying "you can never know the mind of a man". Which is kind of BS, because the legal threshold is simply showing that now only did you commit a crime, but you showed intent to commit that crime. And that is what they were convicted for.

      Apparently there may have been a group of them that assisted an officer, great.

    61. antifa previous rallies even uh would infiltrate and say one day they're going to do something they'll be dressed as Trump supporters and do something to make us look bad

      The argument here is that "Trump supporters are good" and "those other commie liberals called Antifa that use stealth tactics" are probably behind this is flawed in several ways. First, there are shadowy organizations working against democracy on all sides. Second, there is no actual evidence offered to support this claim. Third, it could be equally possible that some of the shadowy members of Antifa are in fact, stealth members from the "other" side working to discredit progressive causes. In fact, we simply don't know and most of this absent any evidence is just convenient speculation pure and simple.

    62. we're told they're not supposed to do is trespass in the capital

      Exactly, it is illegal to trespass in the capitol. I've been in the capitol, and you're only allowed there under very controlled circumstances, when you're with a tour, or when you have official business and an appointment with congressional staff. You have to go through security, etc. So, the protestors who broke in were trespassing and breaking the law. To argue that after the doors and windows were beaten down that they were "invited in" by security guards that were scared shitless at that point is absolute BS.

    63. why don't you all uh open the rest of it up

      Yet another example of some random guy saying something that could easily be said by a Trump supporter as anyone else. Again, I'm sure there were law abiding citizens among them who would do no wrong. Perhaps that includes this "journalist". But obviously a bunch of them also entered the building when it was clear that doing so was illegal at that point. The evidence that it was specifically non-protestors who were plants by some other group, and I think the suggestion here is "feds" and not "proud boys" is not presented.

    64. encouraging them with a good shove again raises questions about who is this fellow in

      Well what about the thousands of other folks attacking the capitol-- aren't they all "suspicious actors" that were mutually encouraging each other to break the law?

    65. he was also pushing people into the entryway

      This is a speculative claim about an unknown person and the only footage we have is that he's holding a door open at some point for some amount of time.

    66. what a lot of the defense attorneys are calling suspicious actors

      Remember the job of defense attorneys is to sow doubt and get their clients acquitted of the charges.... so I'm not sure the best source of evidence about these claims.

    67. when the police line was breached the breach Point included it was almost exclusively the suspicious actors

      Where is the evidence for this? It may exist but this documentary does not share it.

      Remeber, the jury in the court case where this was presented came to the conclusion that they did commit seditious conspiracy, with an intent to attack the capitol. Also, they were in town to provide security for Roger Stone, who helped organize the protest, and their telegram messages with eachother were part of the evidence submitted as part of the court case, where they're on record suggesting that they "invade it".

    68. it's my absolute full intention to go to [Music] trialing

      Which is his absolute right. I wish him the best of luck.

    69. other J Sixers

      The way these guys talk about eachother as if they were some sort of special group of patriots? They broke into Congress while it was in session to try to stop the counting of the electoral votes.

    70. I could do is make myself big and try to make a wall between both parties

      The fact that they keep focusing on this guy is not helping the goals of this doc. I mean he's picking up the same crutch that other protestors were using to attack the police and holding it up while facing the police? What an idiot.

    71. I went up to the front telling them everyone stop

      Maybe instead get the f out of there so that other people can leave too?

    72. the crowd was out there singing Amazing Grace it was a picturesque experience that was I felt like God gave me a glimpse of uh heaven in this chaos

      Again, with the music in the background and all this completely irrelevant testimony about how God inspired him to do this... this is not an objective documentary, this is a puff piece for evangelical christian right wingers.

    73. raises a question of why have we not been able to to discover his identity

      Not sure it raises much of a question. Obviously that's going to be a very difficult identification.

    74. this agent or suspicious actor

      Again, sure he's got tactical gear on and a face mask-- but of course maybe he's just a guy that likes to contribute to chaos and doesn't want to get caught. He could be a Proud Boy that's trying to stir the pot. He could be anyone. There's no evidence either way.

      Ultimately the protestors are responsible for their own actions. If I see that the capitol is being attacked my first response isn't going to be to climb into a broken window, it's going to be to get the hell out of there and stay away so that the authorities can get things under control.

    75. two most charitably called suspicious actors

      It appears that the definition of a suspicious actor is anyone encouraging others to commit crimes. But of course, the simplest explanation is just that they were protestors encouraging other protestors.

      One can speculate, but unless there's hard evidence, then its just that... speculation that is convenient to the narrative, but otherwise useless.

    76. the prosecutors have promised to explain and give more information about him uh back in March they they said they would do that that hasn't happened yet

      Promised to who? Trying to find a citation for this claim. Perhaps there is none?

    77. never actually charged

      Sounds like he was charged, and plead guilty.

    78. who shown up a lot of head headlines is Ray apps what happened with the ray apps we see him a lot on video from January 5th and 6th

      There's a story on him here. But where is the evidence that he was actually a "fed" as opposed to just a garden variety Trump supporter?

    79. prosecutors have adopted a policy of just no no comment outside of court filings

      I think this is the way it works.

    80. he wants to use facial recognition using the government's own databases

      He may want to-- but I doubt there's any precedent for that. If he hasn't presented compelling data then it doesn't appear likely that anyone would take that request seriously.

    81. he watched this over months the video that a lot of these fellows worked in Twan teams they were tactical teams

      This appears to be an unsupported assertion made by another party (Brad) who "watched a bunch of video over months" and came to that conclusion. But... where is the evidence other than some random shots of people in the crowd. None of that evidence is presented here.

      Also, it's obvious but needs to be said that if indeed there were actors trying to rile up the crowd that could be the work of anyone, including Trump (incl. Roger Stone and others) who obviously wanted this protest to happen, directly incited it, and in fact was unresponsive for hours while it was happening.

    82. again people can think I'm nuts but until you experience these things uh you may be a doubter

      I'm really not sure what the point of this story is except to really make this guy out to be a religious nut. He does not come off as a strong credible witness.

    83. you know the crutch was never meant to be used in in any other way than to defend myself

      But of course the police are also dealing with people that are trying to attack them with the same things-- so maybe just... leave?

    84. say go up and to the front and pray

      So, he went to the front, right where all the action was instead of perhaps praying from the back?

    85. he warned me that there could be a false flag incident that day be very careful

      And yet, he still went.

    1. A few years ago, the opioid epidemic was driven by prescription painkillers and was a largely bipartisan issue with a focus on prevention and treatment. But as fentanyl, a synthetic opioid usually made from chemicals manufactured in China and put together in Mexico, became the principal cause of overdose deaths in recent years, the drug crisis was caught up in the broader political battle about the border and migration.

      What role does opioid crisis play in this?

      The stanza is printed first in faux-mediaeval lettering as a "relic of ancient Poetry" (in which þe is a form of the word the) and printed again "in modern characters".[4] The rest of the poem was written during Carroll's stay with relatives at Whitburn, near Sunderland. The story may have been partly inspired by the local Sunderland area legend of the Lambton Worm[5][6] and the tale of the Sockburn Worm.[7]

      The concept of nonsense verse was not original to Carroll, who would have known of chapbooks such as The World Turned Upside Down[8] and stories such as "The Grand Panjandrum". Nonsense existed in Shakespeare's work and was well-known in the Brothers Grimm's fairytales, some of which are called lying tales or lügenmärchen.[9] Biographer Roger Lancelyn Green suggested that "Jabberwocky" was a parody of the German ballad "The Shepherd of the Giant Mountains",[10][11][12] which had been translated into English by Carroll's cousin Menella Bute Smedley in 1846.[11][13] Historian Sean B. Palmer suggests that Carroll was inspired by a section from Shakespeare's Hamlet, citing the lines: "The graves stood tenantless, and the sheeted dead / Did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets" from Act I, Scene i.[14][15]

      John Tenniel reluctantly agreed to illustrate the book in 1871,[16] and his illustrations are still the defining images of the poem. The illustration of the Jabberwock may reflect the contemporary Victorian obsession with natural history and the fast-evolving sciences of palaeontology and geology. Stephen Prickett notes that in the context of Darwin and Mantell's publications and vast exhibitions of dinosaurs, such as those at the Crystal Palace from 1854, it is unsurprising that Tenniel gave the Jabberwock "the leathery wings of a pterodactyl and the long scaly neck and tail of a sauropod."[16]
