Jonathan Moseley, defense attorney for Philadelphia Proud Boys chapter president Zach Rehl, expressed determination to confront the FBI with a subpoena in response to National File’s report that a second man – Sean Michael McHugh – was caught on camera trying to incite demonstrators to storm the Capitol Building.
That report followed a comprehensive article by Revolver News breaking down considerable evidence that Ray Epps was acting as an FBI informant when he repeatedly urged Pro-Trump rally-goers to enter the Capitol.
Neither McHugh nor Epps have been charged with conspiracy. Moseley’s client Zach Rehl, however, is set to stand trial on conspiracy charges, despite the fact that federal prosecutors do not allege that Rehl stormed the Capitol, committed violence or destroyed property.
Moseley explained that the federal government also has not provided any evidence that Rehl ever encouraged others to behave violently on January 6. The government’s case against Rehl even acknowledges that he was only ever “armed” with a walkie-talkie. more here
And that speak about “Go fight like Hell” was just the warm up act.
I’m in the middle of a history of the 3rd Reich. It’s getting hard to differentiate between what went on then and what is going on now.
Why should the defence have subpoena exculpatory evidence? Shouldn’t that just be given to them?
I suppose that is the case in a country where the government follows the nation’s Constitution.
Subpoena first. Announce later.
Don’t telegraph your punches.
