June 8, 20223 yr This dope Juror was the lone holdout that caused a mistrial due his pro Trumplican Bias. Mistrial declared in ‘We Build the Wall’ fraud case against Bannon associate, days after holdout juror alleges ‘government witch hunt’ and liberal bias Molly Crane-Newman, New York Daily News Tue, June 7, 2022, 7:54 PM NEW YORK — A Manhattan judge declared a mistrial Tuesday in the case against a Steve Bannon associate accused of siphoning donations from the "We Build the Wall” fund — after a deadlocked jury said it couldn’t overcome ideological differences. The mistrial comes after the jury deliberated for more than 30 hours whether Colorado businessman Timothy Shea was guilty of stealing contributions from the $25 million raised by ex-President Donald Trump’s supporters. The fund aimed to privately finance a portion of wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, Trump’s signature immigration policy. On Thursday, the jury wrote Judge Analisa Torres to say a holdout, Roberto, described the case as a "government witch hunt.” They wrote that his beliefs were preventing them from reaching a verdict. The juror, according to notes, had accused his fellow panelists of being biased New York liberals. The holdout had claimed federal prosecutors charged Shea in Manhattan Federal Court "because they knew people here vote differently.” A juror, Lauren Reyes, 19, who spoke with reporters after the mistrial said dealing with the holdout "was like talking to a wall.” "It was incredibly frustrating,” said Reyes, of the Bronx. ”We didn’t want to give up on this. It was straightforward.”
June 9, 20223 yr Michigan Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Arrested for Role in Capitol Riot Pilar Melendez Thu, June 9, 2022, 11:03 AM FBI/YouTube The FBI raided the home of Michigan Republican gubernatorial candidate Ryan Kelley on Thursday morning and arrested him for his role in the Capitol riot. Kelley, 40, was arrested on several misdemeanor charges related to the Jan. 6 insurrection, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office. An FBI spokesperson confirmed to The Daily Beast that the 40-year-old real estate agent was taken from his Allendale Township home at around 9:30 a.m. after agents from the FBI’s Grand Rapids office "executed an arrest and search warrant.” The GOP candidate, a former Allendale Township planning commissioner who launched his committee to run for governor in Jan. 2021, is one of five candidates vying for the Republican Party’s nomination. Kelley has been the center of several controversies, including his alleged involvement in the Capitol riot and clashes with Black Lives Matter protesters after the 2020 police killing of George Floyd. Last June, the Michigan Democratic Party released footage appearing to show him moving toward the Capitol on Jan. 6 as he shouted: "Come on, let’s go! This is it! This is– this is war, baby!” In an interview with MLive last March, however, Kelley insisted he never entered the Capitol building, and "never had the intention to and did not go inside, nor did I have any altercation with police officers.” He did, however, admit he went to D.C. to show his support for former President Donald Trump. At the time of the interview he said he hadn’t been questioned by law enforcement about his participation. "I think that event was definitely an energizing event, right?” Kelley said. "It will live on in history, absolutely. For a lot of different things.” According to a criminal complaint obtained by The Daily Beast, the FBI received multiple tips about Kelley’s presence at the Capitol. One tipster provided photos of Kelly wearing "a black coat, a backwards black baseball cap with a rectangular U.S. flag emblem above the bill, and aviator sunglasses.” Photos and videos from the riot showed that Kelley "gathered” near scaffolding at an entrance to the Capitol where he allegedly used his phone to "film the crowd assaulting and pushing past U.S. Capitol Police Officers,” the complaint says. In another photo, Kelly is allegedly seen recording the hordes of MAGA fans engaging with officers trying to stop the crowd from storming the building. "At approximately 1:51 p.m., Kelley moved towards the side of the nearby stairs and began to climb onto an architectural feature next to those stairs,” the complaint says. "In this publicly available news media image, Kelley can be seen through the scaffolding on the stairs.” Less than 10 minutes later, prosecutors allege, Kelley "climbed onto and stood on an architectural feature next to the North West stairs and indicated by waving his hand that the crowd behind him should move towards the stairs leading into the U.S. Capitol building.” Kelley then used his hands to support another rioter who was pulling a metal barricade onto the scaffolding, the complaint says. Prosecutors allege Kelley remained standing next to the north-west stairs and even pulled a covering off a temporary structure that Capitol personnel had erected for an upcoming event. He then allegedly continued to encourage the mob, "consistently indicating that they should move towards the stairs that led to the entrance,” the complaint adds. Kelley kept taking photos of the unfolding chaos and then, at around 2:29 p.m., entered the Capitol’s north-west courtyard and used his thumb "to motion towards the doors to the interior of the U.S. Capitol Building.”

The 38-year-old then sent a social media message about the incident: "I got two hits in on the same rookie cop.” Sargent, who was arrested in March of last year, faces a minimum of eight years in prison and will be sentenced in October.

Digital World Acquisition Corp warned in its filing that it has been sent a number subpoenas, which have the potential to delay or even kill the merger it is pursuing with Trump Media and Technology Group, especially since the deal is already under investigation by the SEC.
