Deep dives
Inconsistencies in Testimony about Oathkeepers during the Capitol Riots
During the Oathkeepers trial, Capitol Police Officer David Lazarus gave conflicting testimony about his interactions with the Oathkeepers during the Capitol riots. In his initial interview, he described a positive interaction with them, but in a later testimony, he changed his story, describing an antagonistic encounter. However, video evidence from the Capitol CCTV showed that Lazarus was nowhere near the Oathkeepers at the time he claimed, as they had already left the area. This raises questions about the credibility of his testimony.
Suppressed Video Evidence Contradicts Testimony
The defense team was not provided with crucial video evidence that contradicted the testimony of Capitol Police Officer David Lazarus and supported the Oathkeepers' version of events. The video evidence clearly showed Lazarus in a different location at the time he claimed to have encountered the Oathkeepers, undermining the prosecution's narrative. This raises concerns about the fairness of the trial and the withholding of exculpatory evidence.
Background of the Oathkeepers
The Oathkeepers, a group with over 35,000 dues-paying members, have a long history of providing disaster relief and security during riots and large events without ever being accused or charged with a crime. This information was not effectively presented in the trial, denying the jury the full context of the Oathkeepers' activities. The portrayal of the Oathkeepers as seditious and dangerous is not wholly accurate based on their extensive record of non-violent operations.
Implications for the Justice System and Possibilities for Action
The discrepancies and apparent manipulation of testimony in the Oathkeepers trial highlight serious concerns about the justice system and the potential for wrongful convictions. The implications of such misconduct extend beyond this particular case. Investigations and hearings may be initiated to address these issues, as the violation of due process and denial of exculpatory evidence pose a significant threat to the integrity of the justice system and individual rights.
In an exclusive for Blaze Media, Blaze Media contributor and investigative journalist Steve Baker releases a piece showing evidence that Capitol Police may have committed perjury in testifying about an incident that they claimed happened on January 6 that never actually happened. BlazeTV host Mark Levin joins to discuss the ousting of Kevin McCarthy as House speaker and critiques the reasoning of the House Republicans who voted against McCarthy. Glenn speaks with Blaze Media contributor Steve Baker to review his exclusive investigation into testimony that landed people in prison.
