There is a case before the Supreme Court that could really upend the entire January 6 narrative.
The court currently has a petition for writ of certiorari.
This is a request to review a ruling in a lower court, in this case, it is defendant named Edward Lang.

Lang is trying to make the case that he was not a rioter.
Instead, he was swept up in the riot, eventually getting into an altercation with the police.
That altercation was only to defend himself.
The writ states, “Individuals appearing at protests to petition for the redress of grievances may likely now feel chilled to exercise core First Amendment rights.
“If the protest turns violent, will they, too, be swept in events and charged with acting in a corrupt manner?”
The writ concludes, “Without action from this Court, hundreds, if not thousands, of Americans will face substantial prison sentences for doing no more than speaking out at a protest that evolved into a dynamic conflict.
“It is no overstatement to say the future of the First Amendment hangs in the balance.”
If the court finds in his favor, this will upend hundreds of cases that the DOJ has filed.
You better believe that Merrick Garland is sucking down the Pepto hoping to God that the Supreme Court does not take this petition.
