During recross at the end of his testimony:
DEA agent Bryan Ayers agrees when asked whether the side door where Eduardo Flores-Ruiz left went into the public hallway where he was waiting.
Flores-Ruiz walked "right past" Ayers, he agrees.

Of the newly-added country, Nigeria faces the largest impact, with tens of thousands of visas issued every year to Nigerians.

In fact, Merrick Garland said he was going to appeal the short sentences of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers but never did. And no one has asked him why.
The VF profile notes Wiles was incorrect about violent Jan. 6 defendants receiving greater-than-recommended sentences, but it doesn’t capture how wildly off base she was. I don’t think there was a single above-guidelines sentence given in a J6 felony case. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...
