Team Kraken Joins Team Insurrection. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Okay, we can think of one or two potential problems here.

Even bad people are entitled to competent counsel. And the January 6 rioters are really bad people.

Unless you listen to former Trump campaign manager Steve Bannon’s podcast, in which case these are political prisoners being tortured by an overweening FBI which has launched a wave of terror against brave patriots.

“This FBI is unleashing a terror campaign across this country. Every single field office, 56 field offices, are involved in this,” intoned “American Greatness” columnist Julie Kelly last week, shaken to her bones at the injustice of so many white Americans being arrested in their homes and placed in administrative segregation for their own safety pending trial.

“Basically Michael Sherwin said ‘we are going to take misdemeanor cases and we’re going to build them into sedition cases,” said the “self-appointed fact checker of the Left.”

“Now here we are more than six months past that. There aren’t any sedition cases, but it doesn’t matter,” Kelly continued. “Because what they’re doing is, they are taking misdemeanor cases, they’re adding a felony called obstruction of an official proceeding onto about 200 cases. That is the felony that they’re using to force these people into plea arrangements, so these people will be convicted felons.”

Yes, yes, we are all weeping salty tears for people who literally fucked around and tried to obstruct an official proceeding and are now finding out that that DOJ does not play nice. But dry your eyes, kids, because help is on the way!

According to someone named “Cynthia,” a “family advocate” for the families of the detained January 6 insurrectionists.

“These men have very bad attorneys, very biased attorneys,” “Cynthia” told Bannon. “We’re trying to put together a legal defense fund. There was a big meeting yesterday with Defending the Republic and Sidney Powell.”

The Kraken lives!

“A bunch of lawyers are going to get together, there’s going to be a massive filing this week,” Cynthia continued, seemingly oblivious of what happened the last time Team Kraken dropped a massive filing on short notice.

According to Cynthia, Sidney Powell is totally “on board.” And this is, uhhh, great news.

“She is really, really, really going to get behind this. We have a ton of lawyers that are going to step up and do some filings pro bono. And we need more,” she said, directing listeners to send cash to Powell’s non-profit Defending the Republic, which is currently under investigation in Florida for diverting funds for Powell’s personal use.

Nutty conservative site Gateway Pundit describes the caller as “Attorney Cynthia Hughes,” but says that Powell is slightly less “on board” than reported.

Radio host Pete Santilli has been steadfastly working behind the scenes for these unjustly imprisoned patriots. Pete was put in this exact situation years ago with the same corrupt DOJ, FBI, CIA and government officials. Initially, Pete said Sidney declined, as she is so busy with the election/voter fraud cases. Eventually, she acquiesced, and Pete just made the announcement last night on his show.

Powell will be working WITH other yet unnamed high-powered attorneys who have also agreed to step in. She is NOT representing anyone….have to make that clear.

Pete Santilli pled guilty in 2016 to felony conspiracy to injure or impede a federal officer in connection with his role in the takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon.

And with Pete, Cynthia, Steve and Sid in their corner, those insurrectionists should have all the help they need. Good luck, fellas!
