U.S. District Court Judge Trevor McFadden must want to get himself impeached. “federal judge found a Jan. 6 defendant who entered the Capitol not guilty on all charges after he said he was waved in by two Capitol Police officers.”
The decision lays down the groundwork to push back against the Department of Justice’s charge that the hundreds of people on Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, 2021 deserve to be punished.
That creates a few problems for the narrative-flinging J6 insurrection advocates. A federal judge has just added to the official record the notion that “it was “plausible” that the defendant “reasonably believed” he had permission to be in the Capitol.”
Based on numerous accounts, Capitol police opened the doors and either allowed or waved people into the building.
McFadden established that Martin’s involvement in the event in the Capitol was “minimal and not serious.” He also said that video evidence shows that “quiet” and “orderly” Martin was merely a “silent observer” instead of an active participant who entertained any of the crowd’s rowdy antics.
When the Sante Fe, N.M., man was arrested a year ago in April of 2021, he faced a myriad of charges including “entering and remaining in a restricted building; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building; violent entry and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building; and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.”
It’s not restricted if they let you in, and it’s a bit silly to charge him with parading, demonstrating, or picketing, but there are different rules for the Left. It’s what equity is all about.
Laws for thee and not for me.
But this guy had his charges dropped, and most people who went into the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 were just like him. This judge must want to get impeached. I can’t imagine the Dems are too excited about this ruling.
