If you listen to the democrats’ BS narrative, January 6 was an armed deadly insurrection in which Trump supporters stormed the Capitol and almost overthrew the government. If you’ve been paying attention to the facts, you know that it was mostly a FBI/leftist false flag in which only Trump supporters died. Also, the Capitol Police let everyone in and one of the accused “insurrectionists” just got off because of it.
Let’s go with the NBC coverage of this because it probably hurts them more than any other fake news outlet to have to report on this:
A federal defense contractor with a top-secret security clearance who admitted he entered the Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack was found not guilty at trial on Wednesday.
Matthew Martin was acquitted by U.S. District Court Judge Trevor N. McFadden after a two-day bench trial. Martin chose to go to trial in the misdemeanor case before a judge rather than go before a D.C. jury. Martin was the first Jan. 6 defendant to be fully acquitted at trial, and told reporters after the not guilty finding that he hoped to get his job back.
Martin, who lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, held a security clearance and took personal leave from his job on Jan. 6. He was arrested in April 2021 and faced charges of entering and remaining in a restricted building; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building; violent entry and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building; and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.
And here’s why Judge McFadden found Martin not guilty:
McFadden said that the first charge of entering and remaining in a restricted building was a “close call,” but said there was reasonable doubt as to whether Martin knew he was entering a restricted building (though he said it was “more likely than not” that Martin knew he wasn’t supposed to go inside).
McFadden said it was “not unreasonable” for Martin to assume that outnumbered officers were allowing protesters to enter the Capitol. McFadden said that the government did not show evidence of Martin crossing police lines that had been broken down by the mob before Martin arrived.
Not unreasonable? There is actual footage of the Capitol Police opening a side door and letting people in:

Every single January 6 defendant should use that video as “exhibit A” and everyone who has been convicted should demand a new trial. The Capitol Police let the protesters in. Period.
“Illegal parading” is a already a seriously weak charge, but when you have video of cops leading the parade into the Capitol, there can be no convictions.
While we’re on the subject, have you noticed how Pelosi and the democrats call January 6 a “deadly armed insurrection” and yet the only people going to trail are charged with bullshit misdemeanor trespassing? Where’s the insurrection charges? Where’ the murder charges? Where are all the Trump supporters who were arrested for carrying firearms in the Capitol?
This acquittal is one more reason the democratic narrative is a crock of shit.
