Who is Federico Klein? Trump State Department Appointee Arrested Over Capitol Riot

 a former mid-level aide at the State Department, is the first member of the Trump administration to face criminal charges in connection with the January 6 storming of the capital.

Klein was arrested in Virginia for charges including unlawful entry, violent and disorderly conduct, obstructing Congress and law enforcement, and assaulting an officer with a dangerous weapon, Samantha Shero, a spokesperson for the Bureau's Washington Field Office, confirmed Thursday.

In videos, Klein is seen wearing a red "Make America Great Again" cap while assaulting officers with a stolen riot shield. According to a court document filed by the FBI, Klein was still employed by the State Department and possessed a Top Secret security clearance at the time of the alleged offence.

According to his LinkedIn page, he held Top Secret clearance, issued by the Defense Department, from 2014 to 2019. This was later renewed according to court documents.

The Epoch Times is Falun Gong’s newsletter. They are an interesting group, it’s so difficult to know who to believe when taking sides in Chinese affairs. 

Best not to believe either the Chinese government or Falun Gong.

Anyone see Trump's pal and governor of Texas calling out Biden for accusing him of "neanderthal thinking"? "It's not the kind of thing a president should be saying". :D 

Marco Rubio has called for Biden to undergo sensitivity training.

They're a pair of comedy geniuses.

There is, but he was restricted by term limits and had to step down.

WASHINGTON – Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., forced the Senate to begin reading all 628 pages of President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion COVID bill aloud on the Senate floor Thursday, further delaying a vote on the legislation Democrats hope to make law by next week. 

Johnson said his tactic was about “educating” the American public on what was in the $1.9 trillion package, which he has derided as full of provisions unrelated to COVID relief. The entire process could take at least 10 hours.

Conservatives love to cut funding for the arts, and the best possible punishment is for them to have to listen to renditions of the national anthem like this one at their annual get-together. You will need the sound on, but don't listen close to cut glass:

I find it absolutely amazing that someone could have such a solid vibrato yet not just be a little flat but have absolutely no sense of key. How can someone who sings not be able to hear she isn’t remotely close to the note yet get to sing a national anthem on tv? **** me, I can sing closer to the tune than that and I’m terrible.

In a party full of shameless, despicable characters, Johnson might just be the worst of them all.

Genuinely thought I was in the Tory thread.

Mail-in voting did not significantly increase turnout nor did it benefit Democrats in the 2020 election, a new study has found, undermining the talking point, advanced by Donald Trump and others, that mail-in ballots cost him the election.

States that required an excuse to vote by mail saw increases in turnout similar to those that did not, the researchers from Stanford found. In Texas, where only voters ages 65 and up can vote by mail without an excuse, Democratic turnout did not “substantially increase” relative to Republican turnout.

“Despite the extraordinary circumstances of the 2020 election, vote-by-mail’s effect on turnout and on partisan outcomes is very muted,” the researchers wrote. “Voter interest appears to be far more important in driving turnout.”

Absolutely incorrect and fake news.  This morning NPR was talking about the 6 woman (so far) that have come out with allegations.

Cuomo is getting tons of play in the lamestream media. (So it's obviously fake news :rolleyes:)

He's done for. Quite right too.
