I'm wondering what's going to go on with the trial (Trump's.) J Smith will file a major paper on why the trial should go forward (why Trump wasn't immune) but everything except the sentencing for the fraud seems like they've kinda gone away.

Trump drops the pretense, labels Jan. 6 insurrectionists ‘we’
Shortly after the dust settled on Jan. 6, 2021, Donald Trump’s allies went to great and strained lengths to distance the then-president from the insurrectionists who had stormed the U.S. Capitol. They falsely linked the attack to antifa and supposed government “provocateurs” — claims that had no basis then and still don’t.“These people don’t look like Trump supporters,” Newsmax host Greg Kelly claimed. Fox News host Laura Ingraham declared rioters to be “people who can only be described as antithetical to the MAGA movement.” Trump’s impeachment lawyers claimed he was “horrified” by the violence.
In the intervening four years, though, Trump himself has expressed an increasing amount of sympathy for the rioters — not just for their humanity and purported legal persecution (he has repeatedly floated pardons), but also for their actions. He has clearly sought to retcon that day from one of national shame to one that is to be, in many ways, celebrated.
That culminated Wednesday night with a very choice word: “we.”

Trump Makes Sharply Incriminating Statement, Claiming "We (the Jan. 6 Mob) Were Not Armed That Day"
Oct 17, 2024Someone should really pull Donald Trump aside and tell him, "you know, you have the right NOT to incriminate yourself." In a recent town hall campaign event, Trump repeatedly said that "we did not have guns (at the US Capitol) on January 6."
By choosing to describe the insurrectionists using the personal plural pronoun "we", Trump directly aligned himself with the folks who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, there y incriminating himself (as he so often does).
Interestingly, that statement is actually an incriminating twofer, given that Trump lied about his angry mob not being armed with firearms on January 6. Trump was briefed on the morning of January 6 that members of the crowd WERE armed with firearms, to which Trump responded, "I don't care if they are armed, take down the f'ing mags (metal detectors), and let my people in, they're not here to hurt me, then we can all march to the Capitol from here."
Once Trump's cases move from the court of public opinion into courtrooms proper, Trump will be convicted in case after case after case.

‘Stupid…narcissist…a despicable human being’: Hear what Mitch McConnell thinks of Donald Trump
Nicolle Wallace breaks down the latest 24 hours of headlines surrounding Donald Trump which would typically doom a normal Presidential candidate with Trump’s horrible performance on the Univision town hall where the live audience was not interested in Trump’s lies and talking points and the latest reporting about what Mitch McConnell really thinks of the man he has enabled for 8 years and will refuse to endorse.7:55

Court upholds key trespassing charge used against most Jan. 6 defendants
A divided federal appeals court panel has upheld a trespassing charge that prosecutors have leveled against more than 1,400 people who breached the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.The ruling on Tuesday from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a claim by Jan. 6 defendant Couy Griffin that the government needed to prove he was aware that the Capitol grounds were restricted because a Secret Service protectee, then-Vice President Mike Pence, was inside. Without that proof, Griffin contended, prosecutors fell short of showing that he “knowingly” breached the Secret Service-protected perimeter.

Ex-Oath Keeper who cooperated with government in Jan. 6 cases sentenced to probation
A former Oath Keeper who gave “extensive” assistance to federal prosecutors investigating members of the anti-government militia group in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack was on Friday sentenced to three years of probation.Caleb Berry, 23, traveled to Washington, D.C., ahead of Jan. 6 with members of the Oath Keepers’s Florida chapter when he was 19 years old. He knew the extremist group was bringing a large cache of weapons to the nation’s capital and prepared to take dramatic action to ensure former President Trump would remain in office, prosecutors said.

No Proper Oaths of Office On January 6th Cases
As evident from my January 6th case's material signed onto court record under penalty of perjury, @TheJusticeDept "U.S. Attorney" prosecutors and federal "judges" have not signed and executed the proper legally required oaths of office as contractual bonds to their appointed positions - including the District of Columbia's leading January 6th "U.S. Attorney" Matthew M. GRAVES and the United States District Court's respective former and current "Chief Judges," Beryl Alaine HOWELL & James Emanuel BOASBERG.
Witness for yourself:
Matthew GRAVES' "Assistant U.S. Attorney" prosecutor Douglas G. COLLYER admits to public defender Evan Flinn SUGAR (court-appointed to January 6'er Frank Rocco) that COLLYER himself did not sign nor file any oath of office that is required for his January 6th prosecution. The public defender further misled client Frank Rocco in legally advising that there were no signed documented oaths of office in existence for federal prosecutors and judges, anywhere - at all.
The "no signed document" comment in regard to an oath of office as legally advised by Frank Rocco's public defender was in direct conflict with Title 5 U.S.C. § 3332 - the statute clearly stating that an affidavit shall be filed alongside an oath of office as required under law: https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml...relim&granuleId=USC-prelim-title5-section3332
The concealed signed documented oaths were eventually provided to Frank Rocco by the Justice Department themselves through FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) Request, but not in accordance with U.S. Code under law and the Constitution - made out to be fraudulent.
USDC D.C. January 6th "Chief Judges" HOWELL & BOASBERG were discovered to have signed illegally changed judicial oaths of office. January 6'er Frank Rocco estopped the "Chief Judges" of D.C. for fraud by refusing for cause their improper judicial oaths of office on case #23-cr-16-JEB, then to be deliberately ignored and jailed by "JEB" BOASBERG without proper Article III jurisdiction - despite BOASBERG as the "Court" granting leave for filing of this proof of fraud on himself: https://courtlistener.com/docket/66728847/59/united-states-v-giustino/
Compare Title 28 U.S.C. § 453 "So help me God" in proper form as prescribed by Congress under the Constitution to the improper corporative CAPITONYM form, "SO HELP ME GOD." Oaths of office for justices and judges cannot be changed without legislation by Congress. See the statute and its amendment: https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml...)&f=treesort&edition=prelim&num=0&jumpTo=true
Leading January 6th "U.S. Attorney" prosecutor Matthew M. GRAVES (@USAO_DC) and his "Assistant U.S. Attorneys" have redacted their signatures from their filed oaths of office, with fraudulent former "Chief Judge" Beryl Alaine HOWELL signed to GRAVES as his witness - making his oath improperly executed.
Declared unconstitutional "Special Counsel" Jack SMITH did not have a properly executed oath of office due to a missing witnessing signature. The Justice Department acknowledged this "error" as important only after SMITH had already indicted TRUMP twice without the procedurally compliant oath of office for SMITH's illegal appointment: https://justice.gov/d9/2023-10/10.06.23. - Special Counsel Oath Jack Smith.pdf
D.C. "Judge" Tanya S. CHUTKAN's sworn decorum to her judicial oath of office was put in question by TRUMP's lawyers with its statute cited in a MOTION for RECUSAL. One month earlier, Frank Rocco submitted evidence of CHUTKAN's fraudulent judicial oath of office alongside the same exact statute directly to TRUMP's lawyers and Jack SMITH's Justice Department prosecutors via email: https://courtlistener.com/docket/67656604/50/united-states-v-trump/
Federal "Judges" and "U.S. Attorneys" acting without valid civil and/or judicial oaths of office can be subjected to criminal impersonation charges under Title 18 U.S.C. § 912: https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title18-section912&num=0&edition=prelim
Federal and state enforcement Offices (@FBI@USMarshalsHQ, State of Florida's @, GovRonDeSantis) have ignored evidence of documented oath fraud on the DOJ and USDC of D.C. that was submitted by Frank Rocco before his illegally executed arrest by federal and local enforcement officers using a SEALED bench warrant ORDERED by BOASBERG. This secretive SEALED bench warrant went unsigned and undated by any arresting enforcement officer for the remainder of Frank Rocco's illegal 3-month incarceration to follow. Federal and state enforcement did not protect the federal judiciary or Frank Rocco against proven impersonators of federal officers having no proper oaths as bonds - aiding and abetting criminals by arresting Frank Rocco, a lawful American, instead.
In addition to federal and state law enforcement, #SeditionHunters are also aiding and abetting impersonators of federal officers within the Justice Department and United States District Courts in their nationwide persecution of January 6th, 2021 protestors as fellow Americans.
Justice Neil GORSUCH has described "administrative law judges" as being different from "real judges" (with proper oaths) in an August 2024 interview discussing his book: (See time stamp 47:56)

the truth will out....
And here is,
“ONE OF THE GREATEST CRIMES AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE”
Rep. Clay Higgins:
“The FBI’s involvement was deep, not just on J6, but on the days and weeks and months prior.”
“The FBI was not only involved in the actions on J6 from within. They had, over 200 agents embedded… dressed as Trump supporters before the doors were opened,”
In other words, the FBI and the DOJ carried out the biggest setup in the history of this country and Mr. Elizabeth Lynn Cheney covered it up.

Seems odd that the the January 6th unSelect Committee didn't find out about that during their "investigation".
