Federal law enforcement officials are still on the lookout for many others who participated in the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol. One insurrectionist who is awaiting trial made a bizarre filing that said that the court has no jurisdiction “over a living soul.”
One filing that was brought to attention by NBC4 Washington reporter Scott MacFarlane revealed an August 3 record of insurrectionist Pauline Bauer, who is accused of demanding that Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi be executed in front of the mob. Bauer opted to represent herself in her trial for her involvement in the insurrection that led to five people getting killed and dozens of police officers defending the Capitol severely injured.
Bauer appears to be part of the “sovereign citizen” movement and has previously demanded that the court taking on her case drop all charges against her. At the time, Bauer also quoted the bible as her defense. The movement involves the theory that people are allowed to act as their own government and, therefore, are exempt from most of the laws of the United States.
The courts do not endorse such ideas.
In the new filing, Bauer demanded that she obtain a “malfeasance and malpractice insurance” of the police “so I may make a future tort claim” over arresting people without due process.
“I know you are new to this case but I retain my right to self-determination,” Bauer wrote. “The court is aware of the Cestui Que Ve trust that I am Executor of and retain my rights to contract when I choose to under Admiralty law.”
Meanwhile, the House Committee has announced another step it will be taking in its investigation into the Capitol insurrection. Following a short recess in Congress, the panel will be returning to work on its investigation, which also includes looking into call and text message records of members of Congress. The panel, as reported by CNN, will be looking into logs of members of Congress that may have been in contact with those who organized the insurrection.
The outlet revealed that the bipartisan panel will request telecommunications companies to preserve their records. The panel’s chair, Rep. Bennie Thompson, said that he hopes subpoenas could be issued by the end of the month.
