The FBI has been accused of doctoring evidence against a defendant who was involved in the Capitol incursion.
The controversy erupted last week after an attorney for Ethan Nordean, a Proud Boys member facing charges over the events of Jan. 6, 2021, said “hidden” messages between FBI agents had been found in a document presented to the court by FBI Special Agent Nicole Miller, according to Newsweek.
“[A] close examination of the agent’s sheet revealed over one thousand hidden Excel rows of messages,” a court document said.
“Nordean must be permitted to cross-examine Miller with the hidden Lync messages to determine whether defendants’ Sixth Amendment rights have been violated through government collection of attorney-client communications about trial strategy,” said the court filing by Nordean’s attorney, Nicholas Smith.
The disclosure resulted in a pause on the trial of several Proud Boys members until next week, including Dominic Pezzola, a co-defendant of Nordean’s who is facing obstruction and conspiracy charges.
Roger Roots, an attorney for Pezzola, explained the significance of the find.
“There are a couple of emails between FBI agents casually discussing altering a document and destroying hundreds of pieces of evidence. It’s very disturbing and right now we have more questions than answers,” Roots said….
……The motion said that “[in] the Nordean case, confidential attorneys-client trial/defense strategy and position was wrongfully obtained by the government, about which was overheard, shared, utilized, where potentially ‘338 items of evidence’ were ordered to be ‘destroyed.’”
In a separate filing, Miller is quoted as saying “[her] boss assigned [her] 338 items of evidence [she has] to destroy.”
The motion said “a secret hidden tab in an FBI spreadsheet showed some of Agent Miller’s emails in which the FBI agent admitted fabricating evidence and following orders to destroy hundreds of items of evidence.”
The motion also cited footage from Jan. 6, 2021, aired by Fox News host Tucker Carlson in the effort to dismiss the charges. The footage showed protester Jacob Chansley walking through the Capitol in the company of Capitol police, who were not making any physical effort to remove him.
“This footage is plainly exculpatory; as it establishes that the Senate chamber was never violently breached, and — in fact –was treated respectfully by January 6 protestors. To the extent protestors entered the chamber, they did so under the supervision of Capitol Police,” the motion claimed.
Full surveillance footage from the Jan 6 protest at the capitol showed how the DOJ lied about the people they persecuted.
FBI and DOJ agents fabricate, lie, alter, and tamper with evidence all the time, with no consequence.
Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith was sentenced to one year of probation and 400 hours of community service for altering an email during the Russia investigation that was used as grounds for the surveillance of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. This piece of shit helped in the attempted coup d’état against President Trump.
Former FBI agent Robert Cessario admitted to destroying evidence connected to the 2018 corruption trial of Arkansas state senator Jon Woods. Woods still sits in prison even though the corrupt DOJ and FBI now admit they famed an innocent man.
The FBI copied parts of the fabricated ‘Russian collusion’ dossier into its FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign.
The DOJ told Hillary Clinton to delete the classified emails she kept on her illegal unsecure server.
The DOJ knew about Biden’s feckless handling of classified material, but agreed to hide the crime until now.
The DOJ hid exculpatory evidence regarding its bogus investigation of General Mike Flynn.
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s office destroyed evidence and obstructed justice by scrubbing all of the data from FBI agent Peter Stzrok‘s iPhone.
Every major government department has been weaponized to target political opponents. They are now the praetorian guard of the DNC. And they have no ethics, morals, or intention of enforcing equal application of the law.
BTW: Nancy Pelosi’s daughter Alexandra was captured on newly released video defending the Proud Boys and admitting to defendant Gabriel Garcia that:
“I know you’re not the bad guy,” she told the defendant six minutes into the meeting. “I haven’t found the bad guy yet, but if there is, I know you’re not the bad guy… If there was an insurrection, you’re supposed to be in line marching… you’re supposed to have a plan.”
Pelosi later referenced her friendship with Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes and denied he was a white supremacist. “I know Gavin McInnes, I went on road trips with him to parties. It was so comical to me when I first started hearing about like ‘Proud Boys are supremacist.’ This was, like, years ago, when they started saying… in Brooklyn, where he’s from. I was like… ‘What?’”
……“Pelosi’s candid comments are more proof [of] what everyone already knows– there was no coup, no coup attempt, and no insurrection, and that this is just a political witch hunt against blue collar Americans,”……
Hey Alex, make sure you tell your unhinged mother.
