What is the 1st Amendment Praetorian, the Obscure Far-Right Group Subpoenaed by the January 6 Committee? CNN (11/24, Cohen) reported that an obscure far-right paramilitary group is in the spotlight this week after getting subpoenaed by the House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection. According to the article, the committee subpoenaed the 1st Amendment Praetorian, a group founded in 2020 that recruits military veterans and former police officers to provide security at right-wing events. Lawmakers also subpoenaed the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, extremist organizations with dozens of members who are facing criminal charges in connection with January 6. The panel said these subpoenas could shed light on how pro-Trump groups planned for violence that day. The article noted that the group provided security at pro-Trump rallies in November and December 2020 that were followed by violence and arrests on the streets of DC. They were also present at a rally on January 5 that featured incendiary speeches from far-right provocateurs like Alexander and Roger Stone, and conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones. Two New York Men Arrested in Capitol Riot The Highlands Current (11/26, Rowe) reported that Gregory Purdy Jr. and Matthew Purdy were arrested on Nov. 10 and charged with federal crimes related to the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. According to the article, the brothers surrendered to the FBI in New Windsor. According to the article, Purdy Jr. and Matthew Purdy entered the Capitol through a door that had been kicked in and remained inside for about 15 minutes. The article noted that according to the FBI, "the crowd then appeared to push forward against the officers and Purdy-Schwartz can be seen making contact with an officer. Purdy Jr. made contact with an officer, as well." Back to Top COUNTERTERRORISM Lawyers For Accused 9/11Plotters Say Government Withheld Public Information The Intercept (11/28, Williams) reported that defense lawyers for the men accused of planning and carrying out the September 11attacks, including one representing accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, told a war court in Guantanamo Bay this month that the sanitized summaries of CIA cables provided to defense attorneys for the five alleged attackers do not contain critical details such as dates and which torture techniques were used. The article noted that meanwhile, journalists for The Intercept and other publications, as well as the American Civil Liberties Union, have received fuller access to the cables by requesting them directly from the CIA under the Freedom of Information Act. "We have a distinct difference between what's available to the defendants in this capital case in discovery on the one hand and to the general public under FOIA in another," David Nevin, an attorney for Mohammed, told the court. "And apparently there are situations in which security-cleared lawyers defending people in this capital case on trial for their life are entitled to less information than is available to the general public." Opinion: Unite the Right Verdict Sends an Urgent Message CNN (11/24, Ghitis) opined that for those growing increasingly worried about the prospect of more deadly political violence in the United States, Tuesday's verdict by a Charlottesville jury, which held extreme far-right leaders and groups that organized and participated in the violent 2017 rally liable for more than $26 million in damages, came as very welcome news. According to the article, the threats posed by extremist rhetoric and violence have not vanished, but in an environment like the one we're living in, the Charlottesville victory was important. "Coming just before Thanksgiving, it gives one more reason to celebrate, however cautiously, during these perilous times."
