January 6 Defendant Cleared on All Charges

 

It’s hard to call this justice, considering the severe persecution the Biden regime has been putting these people through, but at least one January 6th defendant has been exonerated. Ironically, he is using the very defense that has been denied as a ‘conspiracy theory.’ (Emphasis mine)

A federal judge on Wednesday found that a New Mexico man “reasonably believed” that police officers let him into the US Capitol during the Jan. 6 breach, finding defendant Matthew Martin not guilty of all charges.

McFadden said that Martin’s conduct was as “minimal and non-serious” as the judge could imagine for someone who went into the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Respect to Mr. Martin for not giving in to the prosecutorial tactics of overcharging and making plea deals for offenses less serious than those that are routinely dismissed when committed by leftists. The DOJ drove one man to suicide on these same charges.

    Biden didn’t try to overthrow the results of a free election.

    No, Biden succeeded in overthrowing an election. There was no try.

    I thought of this objection, but I really can’t credit Biden with anything more than accepting the subversion of the election process as a gift from others (with strings attached, of course).

    That is true. Biden hid in his basement while Zuckerberg and multiple states worked to make it easier for fraud to occur. Although he said he had the most extensive and inclusive fraud operation in history. He can’t run a country so I wouldn’t expect him to steal an election.

    Well, he was complimenting the people in the room for actually creating the election fraud organization.  So he knew it was going on, and that’s probably what was explained to him when he said, Come one, man!  How can I win an election from my basement?  I need to get out there, shake hands, sniff their children, and tell people they’re not black or they’d be in chains!

    That’s all I’ve seen on videos, so that’s what I’m led to believe.  I really don’t like to think about it, so I was referring to generic “children” up to the age of 26.

    You do realize that you are in the minority of a minority, don’t you? This is the biggest thing that can cause us to lose.

    Who’s us? Your side won in 2020, my side lost. Enjoy the fruits of your labor. You got what you wanted.

    This is true, Gary. You got what you wanted, Biden was elected. You worked for this outcome. 

    And you are unwilling to own it.

    But as long as WE know he owns it, that’s important.
