Harry Dunn's history of 'mental health issues' was on 'full display' on January 6



Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn – the “hero,” the “martyr” who President Biden says “acted with remarkable courage and valor to defend both our institutions and our people” during the January 6 Capitol riots … well, frankly, his account of what happened has serious issues.

Dunn has been hailed by the media as a hero for his courage in the face of violence on January 6, for “the persistent emotional trauma” he suffered that day.

“Make no mistake about it – there were a lot of officers injured that day,” says investigative journalist Steve Baker, who has access to the J6 tapes. “I have reviewed hundreds and hundreds of hours of video, and there was violence. I saw violence there that day with my own eyes.”

The only thing is, Harry Dunn wasn’t impacted by any of it, although his copious testimonies, his interviews, and his lucrative new book, "Standing My Ground: A Capitol Police Officer’s Fight for Accountability and Good Trouble After January 6th," say otherwise.

“In his memoir published in October, Dunn described how he was the target of vicious racial abuse, claiming that ‘20, 30, 40, 50 people’ crowded around him and chanted the N-word during the chaos of the afternoon,” writes Baker.

And yet, in hundreds upon hundreds of hours of tapes, there is nothing showing anything of that nature happening to or even around Dunn.

The truth is, “Dunn spent most of the day avoiding direct conflict with protesters,” Baker explains, but unfortunately, the majority of the public doesn’t know this because the tapes have yet to be released.

As a result, the public has largely bought into Dunn’s faux sob story, but what’s worse is that his testimony has landed many people, including several of the Oath Keepers, behind bars.

So what do the tapes actually show of Dunn’s experience on January 6?

That’s exactly what Steve Baker explores in his latest report: “Harry Dunn’s account of January 6 does not add up. At all.”

He also dives into Dunn’s past, which includes a long history of “anger issues” and “struggles with mental health,” which, as the tapes show, were undoubtedly on “full display” during the riots.

What the GUARDED January 6 footage REALLY holds, according to a journalist with access to the tapes



Steve Baker is a lifelong musician and music industry professional, but he’s known for something far different now.

What started as a fun pastime writing about politics turned into something much bigger.

Baker is now a full-blown investigative journalist, and he’s found himself in a bit of hot water after his coverage of the January 6 protest — which he believes goes much deeper than the mainstream media is telling us.

His footage has been used in several January 6 documentaries, including ones made by the New York Times and HBO, as well as news agencies all over the world.

“Fast-forward two and a half years, and I just got a grand jury subpoena for it,” Baker tells James Poulos. “According to what the FBI told me and my lawyer back 21 months ago, they told me that I was going to be prosecuted for interstate racketeering.”

As no other journalists or peaceful protesters that Baker is aware of have been threatened with the same charge, Baker says “the only thing that we’ve been able to surmise is that they want to charge me with, I guess, the preconceived notion that I knew something was going to happen of an illegal nature, and therefore I traveled across state lines to get to D.C.”

Despite the accusations, Baker is one of only five journalists who have been granted access to over 41,000 hours of footage from the protest.

He notes that he became suspicious of what was really going on during one of the trials last year.

“There was a moment where I felt like that I saw something untoward or something suspicious happening between the lead prosecuting attorney, his name is Jeffrey Nestler, an assistant U.S. attorney, and Judge Amit Mehta, who was sitting on the bench in this particular trial.”

According to Baker, his “antennas went up” when he saw what he believed to be “suppression of evidence” and “collusion.”

That’s when he began digging.

“I backdoored my way into the Capitol to see these videos” as well as “into seeing some of this evidence that was under court seal,” he tells Poulos.

He was able to verify that what he saw in court was in fact a suppression of evidence “that would quite likely be exculpatory evidence for these defendants.”

However, that’s not all Baker has found.

“What we have discovered is not only suppression of evidence, but also the creation out of thin air of evidence that did not exist for the purpose of convicting,” Baker tells Poulos, adding that “there are people who have been scapegoated who have become the patsies, who have become the anointed leaders of the insurrection.”

Those “anointers leaders” were in fact “not at all” and “have been falsely accused.”

While Baker cannot currently release the names of these scapegoats, he will soon be able to take a few Blaze reporters with him into the video room, where he says he will finally be able to “get this off my chest.”

DOJ closes investigation into Ashli Babbitt's death, will not charge officer who shot her in Capitol riot



Federal prosecutors in Washington, D.C., will not charge the U.S. Capitol Police officer involved in the shooting death of a woman during the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, the U.S. Department of Justice announced Wednesday.

The DOJ said in a statement that there is insufficient evidence to file criminal charges against the officer who shot and killed 35-year-old Ashli Babbitt.

"Officials examined video footage posted on social media, statements from the officer involved and other officers and witnesses to the events, physical evidence from the scene of the shooting, and the results of an autopsy. Based on that investigation, officials determined that there is insufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution," the department said.

Babbitt, an Air Force veteran from San Diego, had participated in the protest of the 2020 presidential election results that turned violent when a mob of individuals invaded the Capitol. She had joined the crowd of people that broke into the Capitol building while a joint session of Congress was meeting to certify the Electoral College vote.

As rioters stormed into the building, video footage that circulated on social media appeared to show Babbitt with others outside the "Speaker's Lobby" near the chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives. Capitol police officers had used furniture to set up barricades to stop people from entering the lobby or the House chamber as members of Congress were evacuated. Some rioters attempted to break through the glass doors to the Speaker's Lobby, attacking the glass with flagpoles, helmets, or other objects.

At one point, Babbitt attempted to climb through one of the windows that had been smashed open. A Capitol Police officer inside the Speaker's Lobby fired a single shot from his firearm, which struck her in the left shoulder, prosecutors said. U.S. Capitol Police emergency responders administered aid to Babbitt, who was transported to Washington Hospital Center, where she died of her injuries.

Babbitt is one of five people who lost their lives during the events at the Capitol on Jan. 6, including a police officer. Three other people died because of medical emergencies.

A criminal investigation was launched to determine whether the officer who shot Babbitt violated any federal laws. After a review of the evidence, prosecutors determined they could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the officer who shot Babbitt willfully broke the law.

"Specifically, the investigation revealed no evidence to establish that, at the time the officer fired a single shot at Ms. Babbitt, the officer did not reasonably believe that it was necessary to do so in self-defense or in defense of the Members of Congress and others evacuating the House Chamber," prosecutors said. "Acknowledging the tragic loss of life and offering condolences to Ms. Babbitt's family, the U.S. Attorney's Office and U.S. Department of Justice have therefore closed the investigation into this matter."
