FBI agents allegedly attempted to alter and destroy evidence that would have cleared an American citizen of being charged with faked crimes of domestic terrorism in a series of trials beginning on January 6, 2021, at the US Capitol, which has become a rallying crime for the Administrative State in an effort to weaponize the government and punish the American people for supporting populist President Donald J. Trump.
On that fateful day in 2021, as millions of Americans exercised their right to petition the government, strong forces assembled in Washington, D.C. to build a narrative that populists were violent and planned a violent rebellion to destroy the US Government.
While individuals awaited trials for two years, the media and the RINO-Democrat axis bombarded the public with reports that Trump supporters engaged in treasonous conduct.
A group of members of the Proud Boys, a men’s drinking club, have been on trial for more than six weeks on serious seditious conspiracy charges.
But, the FBI appears to be in trouble.
The trial of Dominic Pezzola, one of the defendants in the Capitol breach on January 6, 2021, was paused on Thursday due to the disclosure of secret FBI messages, which, according to the defense, indicate FBI agents discussing the alteration of evidence.
Pezzola is one of the Proud Boys members on trial for obstruction and conspiracy charges relating to the January 6 breach of the Capitol. The same month in which he was detained on January 15, 2021, he was indicted. This year’s Pezzola trial began in January.
“There are a couple of emails between FBI agents casually discussing altering a document and destroying hundreds of pieces of evidence. It’s very disturbing and right now we have more questions than answers,” Roger Roots, an attorney at John Pierce Law, wrote to The Epoch Times. Roots confirmed that Washington District Court Judge Timothy J. Kelly, a Trump appointee, paused the trial on Thursday due to the leaked messages.
Wednesday’s evidence of FBI special agent Nicole Miller, who participated in the agency’s investigations of the January 6 defendants, revealed the interaction to which Roots referred.
Nick Smith, an attorney for Proud Boys member Ethan Nordean (identified as a co-defendant in Pezzola’s case) uncovered classified FBI communications concealed in an Excel spreadsheet while cross-examining Miller. According to the EPOCH Times, Roots utilized this evidence to support a motion to dismiss (pdf) the allegations against Pezzola, which his team filed on Wednesday.
In the request, Pezzola’s team said that the emails demonstrated that the FBI monitored Nordean and his attorney’s communications, in violation of the Sixth Amendment, which forbids infringements on the right to counsel (Matter of Fusco v. Moses).
“In the Nordean case, confidential attorneys-client trial/defense strategy and position was wrongfully obtained by the government, about which was overheard, shared, utilized, where potentially ‘338 items of evidence’ were ordered to be ‘destroyed,’ said Pezzola’s legal team in the motion to dismiss.
According to a separate filing by Nordean’s lawyers, Miller said in one correspondence that “[her] boss assigned [her] 338 items of evidence [she has] to destroy”; Nordean’s lawyers allege that another email showed an agent requesting Miller to “go into [a] CHS [informant] report” that Miller “just put [together] and edit out that [the agent] was present.”

The emails show Miller “admitted fabricating evidence and following orders to destroy hundreds of items of evidence,” Pezzola’s lawyers wrote in its motion to dismiss, and that the government obtained information that benefitted itself in the trial, causing substantial prejudice to each of the defendants, including Pezzola.CONTINUE READING…
