For years, the media has insisted that an attempted “insurrection” took place on Jan. 6. Now, the Supreme Court has put that myth to rest.
From The Hill, Jonathan Turley opinion. The Supreme Court’s decision … in Fischer v. U.S. struck down one of the most common charges against January 6 defendants. “Obstruction of an official proceeding” had been used in hundreds of cases, and those convictions are now invalid.
Connect with others in your state in prayer.
But the biggest impact of the decision may occur elsewhere.
For years, calling January 6 an “insurrection” has been a litmus test for press, pundits and politicians. …
It now seems like the insurrection increasingly looks more like a legal case of mass trespass and unlawful entry.
I have always believed that criminal charges were warranted for the riot of Jan. 6, 2021. But this week’s decision shows how the Justice Department has wrongly prosecuted hundreds of people for the obstruction crime. It was all of what Justice Department official Michael Sherwin proudly declared in a television interview, that “our office wanted to ensure that there was shock and awe…it worked because we saw through media posts that people were afraid to come back to D.C. because they’re, like, ‘If we go there, we’re gonna get charged.’ …We wanted to take out those individuals that essentially were thumbing their noses at the public for what they did.”
The Fischer opinion will bring an end to a minority of cases that were based entirely on the charge under 1512(c)(2). The section had been enacted after the Enron scandal in 2001 with the collapse of an energy company accused of corporate fraud. It was designed to allow criminal charges for the destruction of evidence in the form of documents and records.
The Justice Department chose to interpret that provision to broadly include any obstruction of any legal proceeding, and then used it in hundreds of Jan. 6 cases. At least a quarter of the prosecutions included this charge. …
For most cases, the decision may require resentencing. Others with pending charges will go to trial without an obstruction claim. …
The obstruction charges helped complete the insurrection narrative for many in the press and politics. I have long disagreed with that claim. As shown by polls, most citizens view January 6 as a protest that became a riot, not as an attempt to overthrow the government . . .
The insurrection myth was used previously in court as Democratic secretaries of state sought to bar Trump from ballots under a meritless constitutional claim that was rejected unanimously by the Supreme Court.
Now the remaining charges are largely for trespass and unlawful entry into the Capitol. Yet, the myth will continue as a mantra in the media that this was an attempt to overthrow the government. …

I think the prosecutors that included this charge be disbarred and sued in court for their part in this. They had access to unlimited taxpayer funds and chose to destroy citizens of the US financially and some died due to the persecution. Judges who were part of this should be demoted and verbally and publicly reprimanded, it is a disgrace how they conducted their courtrooms against the people of this country. That is all I will say on these banana republic trials. Be safe trust in God and God bless.
🙏😇🙏
Praise God for the Supreme Court saying that Jan6 was not an attempt to oppose the election.
Praise God and the Supreme Court Justices! Finally, we can now get to the wrongly accused people who were attending a peaceful protest. Many have received terrible treatment in the D.C. Gulag under the DOJ and this administration. Some committed suicide! What a crime against humanity! They will get due process which was stolen from them by the left.
Keep praying, keep asking, keep knocking and the Lord hears your cries.
Thanks be to God. Amen
Well I was there, so it was a legit incident that day!
A marvelous one!
I also attended!
I’m sorry that this writer was so naive as to believe that there ever was a riot of Trump supporters. It was clearly an inside job to intimidate honest conservatives and falsely imprison innocent people.
I am sorry that IFA provides a platform for this still misguided person.
All these IFA members believe 1/6 did occur?!
Your very ignorant and are obviously trying to troll members.
IFA please ignore Deborah’s comment and pray for 1/6 victims/hostages!
Yes, I totally agree and am shocked that IFA would continue to provide this mis-guided person a platform. It was a set up from “jump street”. As a former law enforcement officer, I am ashamed of any of the ones who went along with it. As an aside, remember to vote for righteous AG and District AG’s as opportunities arise.
How can it be unlawful entry when the people were calmly ushered in by the security there?
It wasn’t/ should’ve been unlawful!
The saddest part is that five people killed themselves because of this, out of shame, out of despair, and we did not pray hard enough for them. Some of these men were in solitary confinement and beaten, and who knows what condition they are in. Pray for their healing, please Lord hear our prayer heal these people and bring justice to those responsible for setting this trap up for Americans. And your holy name, Lord
I have prayed on this topic, Lord thank you for hearing our prayer! Please release all prisoners now Lord and help heal their mind, their heart and their soul, bring them all to you, Lord and help them to guide their path in a positive way in your holy name, I pray
I agree with the Supreme court’s decision big time. This was all Democrats way of GT back at president Trump and follows of his. I believe all the people charged should be payed all their wages and court fees back by the Democrats .I hope no one can vote unless they show voter ID like I have all my life !
Jan 6th was a set-up. Some people got out of line. The majority didn’t. Police opened the doors and waived people in. Contrary to leftist media reports there were no police officers killed on Jan 6th. In addition, one police officer shot and killed a woman. She had no gun. He tried to cover that up. This has been a politically charged prosecution. Shame on our country.
I wholeheartedly agree with the Supreme Court’s decision. This administration has been unconstitutionally attacking its opponents using lawfare, a practice that must stop immediately!
It should be very obvious that the Capital “riot” was instigated by the Left including Ray Epps and others. There was an infiltration of Republicans with bad actors brought about a death of a woman. We have to ask, “When will Ray Epps be prosecuted?”
Ray Epps has been exnoernated.
He has in fact successfully sued for defamation due to such accusations.
Yes there was no doubt in my mind that this was not an insurrection and the Left who hate President Trump wanted to make a big scene to slate him and the Republican Party! And their followers! The Democrats from his Inauguration have publicly behaved badly like spoilt children. President Trump has weathered the Democrat Storm throughout his Presidency to the Democrat fury! May I say the Democrats now in trouble deserve President Biden for the World to see!
On January 9–with a brief warning the night before that all “misinformation” would be removed the next day, many conservative and Christian websites, some with thousands of followers, disappeared from the internet. Even my blog (242,000 hits), hiddeninjesus.wordpress.com, became almost inaccessible even to me. Eyewitness videos of J6 by Dave Kubal, Michelle Bachmann and Breakpoint, were blacked out. I have recovered some of them:

Thank you, Father, for this decision. I pray the false narrative would be completed. This was not an unlawful entry or a trespass. Doors were opened on the inside and people welcomed in simply to set them up. May all truth come out and may justice finally be served! In our Savior’s name, Amen!
Father, reveal everything evil into the light that has been buried in the dark (my paraphrase from the Word), especially from now on for the next 120 days before the election and may the election include only registered American Citizens and especially those who are enlightened to the real truth and love this nation. Father, may you have mercy on this nation, even if only 10 percent have and are praying, repenting, standing, voting, speaking out in love and care about our next generations.
Ps. 2:10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
I’m VERY THANKFUL to the Lord for this decision (which was obviously wrong in the first place)
However, I’m still praying that the true initiators of the so called riot would be held accountable. That’s ANTIFA. I was there and saw the posters on the light polls by ANTIFA requesting folks to join them by getting a Trump hat and wearing it backwards. Then parading in single file thru the crowd to the front of the Capitol and setting off teargas and or smoke bombs and going through the barricades at the top of the steps…. The one officer at the top of the steps just let them in.
My group left the scene immediately and went around the crowd to the Supreme Court side of the Capitol to meet up with the rest of our peaceful group.
I was there too.
You and your group were bold and courageous. I am glad to see this first hand report. Thank God for you and all the others like you. May the truth come out now and the instigators be prosecuted to the fullest extent.
That whole January 6th ploy was staged and paid for by the democrat party led by Nancy Pelosi. All they had to do was make sure their paid for Antifa army showed up in red hats and create as much havoc as possible. This whole fiasco was paid for by the democrat party and their cronies like George Soros.
Thank God there is some common sense Judges setting on the Supreme Court.
This was the most “peaceful” insurrection in the history of the world. The initial people were trouble makers, the second wave were spectators taking pictures, following directions from guards, etc. There were no weapons, not even pitchforks. This has been an overblown, media driven display of liberal nonsense. There should be charges, but let’s make them just. Also, none of these people burned down police stations, destroyed businesses, or killed people as we all witnessed in our major cities.
I applaud the Supreme Court for their ruling. However, the people who entered through the doors of the Capitol were let in by the police. There’s plenty of video footage showing how they let people in. The ones who broke windows and tried violent acts were mostly Antifa, also proven by video footage. I really believe all the people who have been unjustly incarcerated without due process should be released without court trials. It saddens me that some unjustly held prisoners have committed suicide because of these false arrests. I continue to pray that the Lord’s Will be done for all those involved and to give strength to the families that have had to endure this tragic unfair imprisonment.
It might look at first glance as illegal entry and trespass, but upon watching the videos it becomes obvious that people were encouraged to enter by capital security.
Awesome! Still not good enough for those who have been held in jail for over 3 years without being given a trial. Also, when the police are standing at a door ushering you in, are you supposed to know it is trespassing? I’m pretty smart and I wouldn’t know that. But I thank God for this ruling and this victory!
I believe that the Supreme Court got it right.
Amen and Amen! God you are faithful and will never leave us nor forsake us, and thank you that you have not left the Jan. 6ers. You are watching the injustice that’s been done to them, and I thank you that they will be free’d soon. I pray for them and their families and wait eagerly for everyone of them to go free. Hallelujah!
Praise the Lord for His justice!
Vengeance is mine says the Lord & those who put the J6ers in prison are going to get God’s justice.
May God bless the Supreme Court justices & protect them & their families!
There wasn’t even trespass and unlawful entry since the capitol police were opening doors and ushering people in. There was destruction of property by some, however. If the justice department was fair this could slide also since they did not charge any of the far left thugs with this when destroying historic landmarks and statues.
Praise God that the obstruction charges can now be invalidated! But yes, what about the video evidence of Americans being waved and ushered into the capital building? We can see Americans in lines who did walk in peacefully. Is that still considered “unlawful trespass”? And there still remains the burning question of who really instigated the riot??
And where are the charges and outcry against the Antifa and Black Lives Matter rioters who destroyed national monuments, burned buildings down, and created months-long chaos in certain cities across America?
Thankful for some justice done and for our Supreme Court upholding the laws of the land! Praying for the truth to win out in all matters! 🙏
🎉🎉🎉
I’m not an attorney but IMO the “trespass” charge should go to SCOTUS as well and should be struck down when you see the video of all the POLICE OPENING the barriers and doors for those who entered the Capitol.
The Supreme Court ruled justly! Praise the Lord. Many Christians have been praying that Justice wound prevail over these hundreds of wrongly charged individuals, many who have spent time wrongly in prison.
It seems the Enron case that addresses destruction of documents should be used against Hillary, the committee that destroyed January 6 docs, etc. Democrats have gotten a free pass. Father, Holy God of Justice, please make things right. We need You!
It’s a start. I pray that those who planned the “insurrection” ruse come under severe mercy and come to a knowledge of the Truth. If it takes being
investigated, charged and imprisoned to turn them away from deception, so be it.
PTL
Now what can be done for the victims incarcerated all this time
True Patriots
Lord we pray for each one and their families
I’d say “REPARATIONS”!! 👍👍
I have confidence that Trump will pardon all those who PEACEFULLY protested.
Those who broke anything or caused any property damage should not have done so and should suffer some punishment.
Father God, we are grateful for the truth being uncovered and await justice to prevail over the J6 event. Lord, we ask for Your standard of justice to cover any coming charges and court decisions. for the J6ers.
We ask for the eyes, ears, and hearts of Americans to be opened to see the evil that presides over our government and to make a difference at the polls this Nov. Holy Spirit, hoover over Americans as they make decisions regarding our next election. May they align with You, Lord.
Thanks be to God for this decision. It was late in arriving. The “insurrection” fiasco was a bogus charge by democrats to persecute the opposition party. The democrats of entered the Capitol building to protest in the past and were treated with respect. The treatment by democrats of their opponents is UnAmerican and unacceptable, and appears patterned after the CCP. May God bless America.
You can’t see the wind when it blows but you can hear it and you see things shuffle around as it’s presence is felt. This was a fedsurrection.. the lack of will by the republican speakers to act is evidence of what blows through the swamp and rains supreme. The unfettered IC
These citizen’s were enticed to enter the Capitol by police and government agents for the sole purpose of discrediting the challenge to the counterfeit election result.
The democrat party allows no crisis to be unappropriated for political aggrandizement!
Exactly how is someone charged with unlawful entry when they were invited to come in? Anyone who can’t see that most of those people who were there were antifa themselves posing as Trump supporters including FBI agents posing as ridiculousness is not really looking clearly. Open your eyes people and ask God to see truth and reveal truth to you and remove the scales from your eyes and ears, including the person who wrote this article and literally said that’s what they should’ve been charged with. Give me a break.
The whole thing was done to prevent people from exercising their first amendment right and many others. All it was was to make people afraid to come to DC and protest, the coup of our government overthrowing a duly elected president, President Donald J Trump, and not this senile whatever you want to call him in the White House. He is a demonic, evil, wicked corrupt man and I will not pray for him either so don’t ask me to Justice needs to be served
Whatever happened to all the other rioters who literally burned down buildings and caused billions and billions of dollars of destruction. Nothing happened to them as usual.
Thank you, father God for justice served. Please let Justice continue to be served on the people who really are demonic and evil and committing so many crimes against our country by rioting and looting and burning down things yet nothing happens to them.
Father God, please let people see and hear truth who are not capable of doing that.
The sooner the political J6 prisoners are released from prison the better our country will be. Then they all need a huge settlement for the crimes committed against them regarding loss of time,property,and health. How do you estimate the cost of time?
The J6 prisoners should receive compensation out of the FBI and Justice Department’s pension plan. The agents and legal people involved should forfeit any and all compensation and go directly to jail.
It is the church’s fault for allowing the enemy to possess this kind of power. I pray on the next election that we will vote for righteous men and women to go into the government not baby killers.
Thankyou Father for answering our prayers in Jesus name amen
Thank you Jesus 🙏 Keep praying
Praise God for the truth coming out. Just a pity it took so long while all these people have been in jail
Since Metro officers went throughout the Capitol lawn inviting Trump supporters to come inside the Capitol, I think the trespass charge should be dropped. There needs to be a true investigation, including the testimony of those being charged. And the charge of entrapment should seriously be considered. Unarmed Trump supporters were beaten and killed. There needs to be justice for them.
I think jan6 was over charged as a way of ” getting back” at people. Riots everywhere else in our country never get that kind of result. The charges were over jealous and punitive
HALLELUJAH and AMEN. God is good and the truth has prevailed.
They’re God is good🙏
