Rittenhouse prosecutor told police not to execute search warrant signed by judge to view Grosskreutz’s cell phone
The American Thinker commented on 5 November 2021 how the Kenosha County prosecutor did not execute a search warrant signed by a judge to search the phone of the man who pointed a gun in the face of Kyle Rittenhouse before Kyle defended himself by shooting this man in the arm.
On August 25, 2020, 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, armed with an AR-15 and a medical kit, went to Kenosha, Wisconsin to offer first aid and protect businesses against looting and arson. By evening’s end, Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber were dead, and Gaige Grosskreutz had a hole in his arm. Rittenhouse is now being tried for murder, although he claims — and video evidence and witness testimony confirm — he acted in self-defense.
The trial started this week, and it’s been sufficiently fascinating, thanks to mismanaged evidence (including FBI wrongdoing) and an incompetent prosecutor, to merit a short review. These are some highlights. Andrew Branca’s superb posts at Legal Insurrection have more details.
On Tuesday, assistant D.A. Thomas Binger committed a fundamental error: he misrepresented the evidence, almost all of which is captured on film. Thus, he asserted that Kyle shot “unarmed” victims. In fact, Grosskreutz was aiming a gun at Kyle when Kyle shot him; Huber was trying to beat Kyle to death, or decapitate him, with a skateboard; and Rosenbaum was trying to steal Kyle’s gun.
Also on Tuesday, news broke that the FBI had failed to share evidence with the defense and then “lost” some of that same evidence. Although the testimony wasn’t televised, Branca writes:
I did learn later that apparently the FBI had possessed both the low resolution aerial video shared with prosecutors, and a high-definition version of the same video. To the outrage of the defense, however, it was discovered today that the high resolution version of the video had been “lost” by the agency.
Reportedly even Judge Schroeder was left aghast at the possibility that the FBI had tossed away evidence relevant to a homicide case, but beyond that I don’t have any substantive knowledge of how all this played out.
Wednesday’s most interesting story also involved mishandled evidence. Rittenhouse made available to the prosecution the contents of his cell phone. He had nothing to hide.
Things were different went it came to Gaige Grosskreutz’s phone. Grosskreutz was the man who simultaneously stuck a gun and his phone, with the camera working, into Kyle’s face when Kyle shot his arm.
Police investigators obtained a search warrant for Grosskreutz’s phone, which would certainly have contained material evidence. Bizarrely, though, the police did not serve the warrant, did not seize his phone, and never tried to gain access to the contents.
The very young detective in charge of the case conceded that this was the only time in his experience at the Kenosha P.D. that the police did not serve a search warrant for a phone download. The reason given was “Marcy’s Law,” which protects victims of crimes from invasive investigations. So Grosskreutz, who stuck a gun in Kyle’s face, was framed as a “victim” from day one. However, the detective admitted that, in his experience, the police had never before used Marcy’s Law to prevent a search warrant for cell phone evidence. The police also didn’t record their interview with Grosskreutz, another anomaly in a department that recorded everyone’s interviews.

Why did the Kenosha prosecutor use Marcy’s Law to avoid collecting evidence?
Have liberal prosecutors made it a habit to use Marcy’s Law to avoid collecting evidence that would lead to the arrest of their witnesses? As PJ Media pointed out in a 15 November 2021 article, it was not Kyle Rittenhouse who illegally possessed a gun that night.
It turns out that the only ones illegally possessing guns that night were Gaige Grosskreutz and Joshua Kiminski. But, of course, they’re not charged with those crimes. Just the kid is.
News outlets — looking at you, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and cronies — have continually asserted that Rittenhouse illegally brought a gun “over state lines” to Kenosha when he and friends were asked to guard a business during the third night of riots.
“Notably, in October 2020, the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office announced that the gun Rittenhouse used was never carried across state lines, contrary to numerous media stories.”
Corporate “news” media yet again chronically wrong on the facts. https://t.co/xk8n3g2C7h

He was accused of bringing that gun to “hunt humans,” but that wasn’t true. The gun Rittenhouse used that night was stored at a friend’s dad’s house and locked in a gun safe in Kenosha until the 17-year-old used it that night.

Seems like this pretty much proves that the prosecutor did not do a review of the facts and determine who was innocent and who was guilty. Rather, he started from the viewpoint of finding a way to prove this kid guilty. Because this kid had been cleaning up graffiti in a minority community and was standing guard over a local business before he was attacked, I can’t say whether the prosecutor would have gone after other kids who had been doing similar things.
But, obviously, the prosecutor did not go after the felon adults.
For a number of years, accusations have been levelled at police for purportedly using this law to hide the identities of possibly errant police. In most states, that issue was addressed through a tightening of the wording in the law.
That type of attention needs to focus on the current inequity between the lax enforcement of the liberal side and the cruel and unusual punishment inflicted on many of the political right.

Meet Ray Epps: the Fed-protected provocateur who appears to have led the very first 6 January attack on the U.S. capitol
Revolver used a 25 October 2021 article to point out how the FBI seems to have insulated Ray Epps (a person who seems to be central to the 6 January 2021 riots).
In a House hearing on Thursday, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) questioned AG Merrick Garland about a mysterious man, Ray Epps, instructing protesters to enter the US Capitol building on January 5, and who later shepherded crowds towards the Capitol on January 6.
The story of the mystery man, Ray Epps, featured in Rep. Massie’s video above is in fact far more shocking than even the good Congressman implies in the hearing. It’s a story so strange, and so scandalous at every turn, that it threatens to shatter the entire official narrative of the “Capitol Breach” and expose yet another dimension of proactive federal involvement in the so-called “insurrection” of January 6th.
If Revolver News’s previous reporting points to a proactive role of the federal government in relation to the conspiracy cases against Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, the Ray Epps story that follows suggests a similar, yet more egregious, explicit, direct and immediate degree of federal involvement in the breach of the Capitol itself.
Here is a transcript of Thomas Massie’s exchange with the Attorney General, just in case you skipped past the video above.
Rep. Massie: As far as we can determine, the individual who was saying he’ll probably go to jail, he’ll probably be arrested, but they need to go into the Capitol the next day, is then directing people into the Capitol the next day, is then the next day directing people to the Capitol. And as far as we can find. You said this is one of the most sweeping in history. Have you seen that video, or those frames from that video?
AG Garland: So as I said at the outset, one of the norms of the Justice Department is to not comment on pending investigations, and particularly not to comment on particular scenes or particular individuals.
Rep. Massie: I was hoping today to give you an opportunity to put to rest the concerns that people have that there were federal agents or assets of the federal government present on January 5 and January 6. Can you tell us, without talking about particular incidents or particular videos, how many agents or assets of the federal government were present on January 6, whether they agitated to go into the Capitol, and if any of them did?
AG Garland: So I’m not going to violate this norm of, uh, of, of, of, the rule of law.
[Looks down and away]
I’m not going to comment on an investigation that’s ongoing.
There is good reason why AG Garland ran from Massie’s question faster than he could find words — and why he couldn’t even keep eye contact as he was dodging Massie’s gaze.
After months of research, Revolver’s investigative reporting team can now reveal that Ray Epps appears to be among the primary orchestrators of the very first breach of the Capitol’s police barricades at 12:50pm on January 6. Epps appears to have led the “breach team” that committed the very first illegal acts on that fateful day. What’s more, Epps and his “breach team” did all their dirty work with 10 minutes still remaining in President Trump’s National Mall speech, and with the vast majority of Trump supporters still 30 minutes away from the Capitol.
Secondly, Revolver also determined, and will prove below, that the the FBI stealthily removed Ray Epps from its Capitol Violence Most Wanted List on July 1, just one day after Revolver exposed the inexplicable and puzzlesome FBI protection of known Epps associate and Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes. July 1 was also just one day after separate New York Times report amplified a glaring, falsifiable lie about Epps’s role in the events of January 6.
Lastly, Ray Epps appears to have worked alongside several individuals — many of them suspiciously unindicted — to carry out a breach of the police barricades that induced a subsequent flood of unsuspecting MAGA protesters to unwittingly trespass on Capitol restricted grounds and place themselves in legal jeopardy.

I don’t know whether Epps and the other unindicted individuals were FBI informants or just recipients of mercy via Marcy’s Law
One thing is certain when you look at the way the FBI treated Epps (and other unindicted individuals who took part in the 6 January 2021 event). That one evident thing is that America certainly has two levels of justice.
This two-tiered justice system needs to end.
And you know what? Since this centers so much on the protest that sticks as a sore point to the sore winner (or, possibly, the touchy cheater) Democrats who cannot take protests (but love to dish it out across Kenosha, Portland, Seattle, and all sorts of other Democrat-controlled cities where they let Antifa run wild), Joe Biden needs to put this on his list of things to actually get accomplished.
If Dementia Joe is really an American and not a Chinese puppet, then he needs to step up and act like an American. He needs to work for justice.

Mark 1:1 
Listen to this video. It brings out two important points:
1. Evidence that the state had was withheld from the defense.
2. The court demonstrated bias against the defense by not punishing the several misconducts of the prosecution.

Consider this video by Tucker Carlson. it pokes holes in several media narratives by pointing out:
1. Rittenhouse was allowed to carry his gun because the gun’s barrel exceeded the minimum barrel length and he was over 17.
2. The gun had been in his father’s gun safe in Kenosha prior to its use.
3. Rittenhouse was not a militia member, but was a lifeguard.
4. Rittenhouse had been requested to come to clean graffiti and protect businesses.
5. He drove 21 miles (17 miles, if he could have flown) from his mother’s home in Illinois.
6. Joseph Rosenbalm was a convicted child rapist had just been released from a mental hospital when he (Rosenbalm) lit a fire and swung a heavy chain as a weapon. Rosenbalm announced that he would kill Rittenhouse and gave chase just before Rittenhouse was knocked down and then shot Rosenbalm.
7. Then the mob came after Rittenhouse. First, one guy knocked him down. Then another guy tried to repeatedly bash him with a skate board. Then a felon came up with a loaded pistol and pointed it at Rittenhouse.

Another tidbit: the lead detective in the Kyle Rittenhouse case is related to the Mayor. Maybe they can have reliable prosecution of a crime when obvious nepotism exists. Who knows?

Surprise, MSNBC, the MSNBC producer, a paid operative of that producer, and NBC get barred from the Rittenhouse trial after MSNBC pays an operative to follow the jury bus.
Why was MSNBC doing that? Since NBC has a woman who wrote a book on doxing, were they planning on doxing the jury if they returned a “not guilty” verdict?
