Now I guess this is the Oath Keepers / Proud Boys trial thread.
Anyway, Anyway, Proud Boys really have been doing shitty on the defense witnesses. A "Other Than Honorable" discharged Vet turned Rabbi who converted people to Judaism online so they could get Vaccine exemptions (For a price of course) and a very obese man who was too "Disabled" to go into the Capitol
This is a better run down than what I can do.
https://www.emptywheel.net/2023/03/26/w ... ion-trial/Basically the claim was that "Stacking Bodies" was "Locker Room Talk" . You can see what happens when bullshit confronts the reality of cross-examination. "Zip ties for Antifa" melt when asked if Antifa was present in the Senate Chamber. "It could have been any Nancy" dissolves when a recording prior to "Nancy! Come out and play-ay" was preceded by a recording saying they were going to "hang Pelosi"
Since their case is crapping itself (I would have focused on Capitol PD using Pepper Balls to "Enrage" the crowd...which they admitted was a failed tactic that day) but the Right actually seems to be dumb enough to believe their own propaganda and believe that their "placeholder truths" of "Demonstration" will hold them long enough for the next electoral coup to be successful and then they can relax and kill all the liberals they want (now known as "Woke") ...But now they have to rely on the "It was informants!" thing.
As anyone who has followed the Proud Boys like I have knows, they loved to feed the FBI information on "Antifa" and the FBI was probably dumb enough to believe it for a while but on January 6th they had a large amount of Confidential Informants lined up already. One was Jen Loh.
She was another loser who was supposed to testify for the defense until the prosecution notified them that Loh was a paid FBI informant.
She, according to her, did not inform on the Proud Boys, only Antifa and according to the FBI and Prosecution she did not provide any information to them. But she did do lame right wing shit like go to group prayer with Proud Boy family members, contact defense attorneys with "advice".
But now she is getting threats daily, that she blamed on Antifa, but we know damn well that it is not Antifa.
Anyway, this self goal is really funny. Wanted to rat on antifa and did so. Probably kept loyal to the Proud Boys and suddenly now her life is in danger because she wanted to "help" and she is still loyal enough to blame Antifa rather than "Stack Bodies" group.
Funny shit.
