Insurrectionists Sue The Federal Government For Entrapment
Twelve J6 insurrectionists, including Oath Keeper Roberto Minuto, have filed a lawsuit against the federal government for one million dollars each, claiming that the whole insurrection was "a trap" to give it "the appearance of a riot."
According to the Ticktin Law Group, the law firm representing the dirty dozen, the government was hatching the plan to entrap people for months:
"Long before January 6th, in fact, going back at least to September of 2020," the filing says, conspirators held Zoom meetings and plotted "to turn a peaceful protest of the conservative J6ers...into the appearance of a riot."
"Those seditionists...actually plotted to break some of the windows of the Capitol Building so that their compatriots and foreign participants would enter the Capitol Building to unlock and open the doors of the Capitol so that the anticipated protestors outside would be herded into the Capitol Building," the complaint says.
The complaint also states that an unidentified "instigator," described only as wearing a red MAGA cap with the tag still attached, was the person who broke the first window to gain entrance into the Capitol.
The complaint cites Trump's pardons and commutations throughout as the basis for their demand. However, the report does not indicate whether they acknowledge that Trump was President at the time that this alleged plot was concocted and executed.

Mike Rogers Releases Hostage Video Calling El-Sayed The Other
Mike Rogers released this creepy video of him and his wife, looking like an angry HOA MAGA Karen, both of them seemingly offended that Michigan could soon choose Dr Abdul El-Sayed instead of these two rich, entitled Floridians. The obligatory Islamophobia and racism seem to be Rogers' only campaign strategy at this point.
"They look like Lifetime movie villains," quipped one internet user.

Former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers released a campaign message on Friday appealing directly to Democratic voters after Michigan Democrats nominated Abdul El-Sayed for Senate earlier this week.
El-Sayed, a former public health official, narrowly defeated establishment-backed Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) in Tuesday’s Democratic primary. Backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), El-Sayed will now face Rogers in November for the Senate seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI).
Rogers sought to capitalize on divisions within the Democratic Party, arguing that voters dissatisfied with the primary outcome should consider supporting his campaign.

'We Actually Like Each Other': El-Sayed Whacks Trump After Lame Attack On His Wife
Michigan nominee for the US Senate, Abdul El-Sayed, hit back at Trump after he posted a nasty Islamophobic dog-whistle on Truth Social this weekend:
President Donald Trump’s latest attack on a Democratic Senate nominee and his wife spurred a wave of rebuke on Sunday by critics who called him a racist and a convicted felon.
Trump took to Truth Social the night before to share an image comparing himself and First Lady Melania Trump to Abdul El-Sayed and his wife, Sarah Jukaku.
The image includes the caption complete with misspelling, "Two VERY DIFFERENT America's," and shows Trump and his wife in formal attire alongside El-Sayed and Jukaku, who wears a traditional Islamic headscarf.
The image also uses El-Sayed’s full name – Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed – similar to how Trump often refers to former President Barack Obama as Barack Hussein Obama.
AES was asked about Trump's post during an appearance on this Sunday's State of the Union on CNN, and hit Trump and his loveless marriage, along with the fact that both of them could care less about the working class in America in response.
