Restricted Republic’s Justus Knight reports that AG Merrick Garland has for the first time publicly linked the deaths of five Capitol police to the Jan. 6 riots. Knight says this is an obvious indication that Garland is not going to stop or lay off the DOJ’s pursuit of Donald J. Trump until an indictment occurs. He explains further.

Pelosi’s Atmosphere Of Fear
Paranoid Nancy Pelosi is still clinging to her battalion of National Guard troops, although there is no longer a threat–or never was–on Capitol Hill. Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Greg Murphy tells Sara Carter he’s figured on why she is taking this course of action. “Speaker Pelosi has taken the emotions of Jan. 6 and has tried to string those out as long as possible, to try to present an attitude of fear and trepidation as long as possible,” Murphy says.
The North Carolina Congressman says the majority of the troops would be better served protecting and assisting federal agents on the southern border. Here’s more with Murphy on the Sara Carter podcast.
Agents Of Disinformation
A hasty tweet by the Southern Poverty Law Center has sent Viva Frei host David Freiheit into a frenzy. The tweet says: “Loaded guns, zip ties, threats, several injuries & five murders. But ask @senronjohnson about the violent Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and he won’t call it for what it was. #YearInHate #RefuseHate.
Freiheit was apparently taken aback by the post, proceeded to read the fact check on the tweet from Politifact and was compelled to respond, calling out the Southern Poverty Law Center for spreading misinformation. The law center discreetly retweeted the post, changing “loaded weapons” to “weapons” and “5 murders” to “5 related deaths.” They did this, Freiheit says, without so much as an apology, a correction or a formal retraction. He shot right back with: “Barring an apology and a correction, quietly deleting a tweet and pretending it didn’t happen, just adds further dishonesty to the initial dishonesty.”
Still not pleased by the law center’s second tweet, Freiheit decided to look into the five deaths and came up with some interesting conclusions. Here’s more from Viva Frei.
