Trump supporter who thought the Insurrection Act was in motion and said Jan. 6 was 'precisely what we want' just learned

Source: Law & Crime

Oct 4th, 2024, 8:33 am


A Donald Trump supporter from South Jersey, right across the Delaware River from Philadelphia, who bragged on Parler in real time that he was “inside the capital” and two days later said Jan. 6 was “precisely what we want,” as the Insurrection Act was “in motion,” will spend the next five years of his life in federal prison as a result.

Michael Oliveras, now 51, was sentenced to prison Thursday for attacking cops and obstructing the congressional certification of the 2020 election by stoking civil disorder, evidently believing the invocation of the Insurrection Act — which Trump’s Oath Keeper and QAnon-inspired allies pined for — had taken place and granted him license to drag “traitors” out of the Capitol “BY THEIR F—-ING HAIR!”

According to the DOJ’s statement of facts in the case, Oliveras was open about his participation in the attack on the Capitol while it was happening and in the days that followed, posting the evidence that would be used against him on his @Craftmetal Parler account.

The feds said that one tipster who saw Oliveras’ live-streaming on Parler put together video “highlights” and sent it to authorities for review. A second tipster said Jan. 6 wasn’t Oliveras’ first rodeo. “This man,” the tipster said, “I first encountered him when he was inciting violence against counter-protestors at a ‘Stop The Steal’ rally at the Philadelphia Convention Center on 11/07/2020…”

My mother used to make that stuff when I was growing up. My father would insist she "throw a can of peas in it too" which made it even less palatable to me. One of my brothers - the one who didn't care if he got in trouble with my father or not - used to say, "It looks like barf on a plate".

Highlighted, in big letters on the screen,

I sat there wondering why no one caught it.
It's a documentary, for crying out loud!

Only hope is that Trump loses the election and then he’s sentenced to prison on his various felony charges for the rest of his life. If anybody deserves it, in recent memory, it is him.

that allows the President to federalize the state National Guard in case of civil unrest. It was codified as this - 10 U.S. Code § 251 to 254b - Renumbered §§ 240a to 240f (and) Federal aid for State governments

It is the one exception to the Posse Comitatus Act, where the latter actually FORBIDS/LIMITS the President's use of the military against its own citizens.

There were all kinds of messaging about 45 "invoking the Insurrection Act" during the BLM protests, and included threats of its use to quell riots once they succeeded in overturning the election (something apparently referenced in one of Jack Smith's indictments).
