“The government does not say that the charges were legally deficient or that the evidence presented is insufficient to sustain Defendants’ convictions. It confesses to no prosecutorial misconduct, nor does it assert any denial or compromise of a defendant’s rights,” Mehta wrote. #DOJ, Mehta said, was simply bestowing the ringleaders behind the #insurrection “unearned grace by wiping their records clean” after juries found them #guilty of committing “crimes against the United States itself.”

A federal judge on Tuesday agreed to dismiss the #SeditiousConspiracy case against the leader of the #OathKeepers, #StewartRhodes, & 7 other members of the #extremist group who planned to storm the US Capitol on #Jan6, 2021.
The ruling by US District Judge Amit P. Mehta is the last step in the legal process to wipe out penalties from the Jan 6 #insurrection, cementing #Trump’s bid to unravel the largest federal investigation in US #history [& erase the truth of his crimes]. -

Running on #corruption may be more difficult than many Democrats suspect, but that makes their doing so all the more necessary. "

RE: https://mstdn.ca/@dbattistella/117027721092830100
Most surprising about this all, is that people don't rise up en masse. Why do they keep accepting this from capitalists like billionaires, and from their government? Governments who have the legal responsibility to keep their citizens safe, but are in the mean time co-responsible for the climate crisis. RISE UP!

#JaredWise, a former #Jan6 defendant [for real] who was assigned to Blanche’s team, also worked on the investigation into the Capitol #insurrection but resigned earlier this year, saying on social media that he could only “expose the abuses by the FBI & DOJ against J6 defendants” from outside government.

Late movie time.
Star Trek Insurrection.
Haven’t seen it for ages.
Saw a clip about #genocide on YouTube from it… seemed like a good watch.
A better time for American storytelling….

Picked up two #numismatics memorials to the #USA that was. I'm actually somewhat surprised these are still available from the US Mint. Shouldn't that be illegal now? #voting #insurrection #medals

Brazil’s awkward reminder for Americans: “presidential accountability” means more there than at home
RIO DE JANEIRO
Traveling outside the U.S. rarely allows a departure from talking about American politics, but since last January saw President Trump return to a level of power that he has already abused far more than he did in his disastrous first term, those conversations have been harder to escape.
And in this city and in this country, where Web Summit Rio took me for the fourth year in a row, those discussions were more awkward than in the rest of the world.
(I once again traveled to Brazil on my Irish passport because of the visa-free travel that allows, but my accent allowed no escape from this banter.)
Because while Brazil and the United States each saw a president attempt to overturn an electoral defeat by inciting followers to stage a violent insurrection at a national capital, the two countries have not responded to these self-coup attempts in the same way.
Less than three years after Jair Bolsonaro instigated the Jan. 8, 2023 riots in Brasilia, Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court found him guilty of five criminal charges, sentenced him to more than 27 years’ imprisonment and banned him from running for public office until 2060.
That is what accountability looks like.
The U.S., meanwhile, has failed dismally to do the same with Donald Trump for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 riots at the Capitol.
First, too many Republicans in the Senate refused to convict him in his second impeachment trial, on the cop-out theory that courts would do the job. But then prosecutions started late–one doomed early by unforgivably sloppy misconduct–after which court after court lunged for reasons to give the disgraced former president second chances that few other defendants in America would get.
This pathetic exercise in institutional failure continued with the Supreme Court’s profoundly un-American decision in July 2024 that presidents are mostly above the law, and then voters finished botching the job by voting to send Trump back to the White House.
I couldn’t explain that to Brazilians any more than I could to citizens of any other nation. I can, however, imagine why their country would have responded so strongly to Bolsonaro’s assault on their democratic order: Brazil’s living memory includes more than two decades of a military dictatorship that many of Bolsonaro’s rioters wanted to see restored.
Too many American voters, meanwhile, could not be bothered to remember Trump’s attempted murder of democracy less than four years after it happened. We are not going to live that down anytime soon.
