In the Spotlight

The Department of Justice prosecutors manipulatively walked back their decision to subpoena another child of January 6th defendant Guy Reffitt to the stand after using his teenage son against him this past Friday as a witness.
The DOJ had planned to also use Reffitt’s minor daughter as a prosecution witness before realizing their diabolical plan was going to backfire at the last minute.
We reported yesterday that the Biden Regime had coaxed a teenage boy (Jackson Reffitt) to record his father in the family home for eight days before turning him over to the FBI. The DOJ also intended to call his younger 17 year old sister Peyton to the stand today but got spooked and threw her off their elite roster. (That A-List included an abundance of Capitol Police Officers, FBI Special Agents and Reffitt’s fellow militia member turned snitch Rocky Hardie who traded his testimony for his own immunity.)
“I never felt threatened by my Father,” Peyton Reffitt (the teen daughter of the defendant) told us outside the courthouse in Washington DC. “It hurts me so much that they are saying that. My Dad has never touched us once in our lives. The only way he disciplined us was through yelling and sometimes even pretending he was mad. He was beaten by his Dad as a kid and is against that- he would never hurt us.”

Payton’s statement flies in the face of a large part of the trial narrative that shameless prosecutors, aka Regime puppets, Jeffrey Nestler and Risa Berkower presented of Reffitt by using his teenagers as pawns against him. They told jurors Reffitt was a man who physically threatened his children to not talk to the FBI and implied he threatened to “shoot them or shoot their phones” if they turned him in for January 6th events he had told them about.
See us confront the prosecutors mentioned above here outside of the courthouse:
Unfortunately, the 12 jurors never got to hear Reffitt’s daughter’s testimony as the prosecution pulled the plug on it and rested its case.
Interestingly, his public defender attorney William Welch Reffitt did not call a single defense witness to the stand or jump on the obvious opportunity to put Peyton on the stand to defend her Dad.
“I’m so upset that my right was taken away to give my testimony of the truth,” said Peyton. “They had me on the schedule for Monday but on Friday I spoke to the prosecution. I told them that I got to see more of my Dad’s vulnerably and his mind than Jackson did, and so I was more able to understand some of the things he was saying at the time. I don’t think they liked that. They realized that what I was going to say would help my dad and not hurt him like they wanted.”
“Payton was terrified and anxious for months about this,” her mother told us. “It was emotionally tolling on my daughter but she was prepared and was going to make the most of it.”
Those close to the situation say that the government caught wind of the fact that Peyton was planning on saying she never felt threatened by her Dad as they wanted.
“It seems they had manipulated or coached Peyton to some extent and expected her to say her father threatened her,” said Tina Ryan of Citizens Against Political Persecution. “They realized she was going to say her truth after speaking with her Friday and axed her off their witness list on Monday.”
According to her Uncle Nathan Reffitt:
“Payton was saying the prosecution was feeding her what she needed to say on the stand, instead of Payton in her own words describing the events. She said she was not going to say what the prosecution was telling her to say. I am very sure they coached Jackson as well. That’s what they decided not to put Payton on the stand- because she was not going to do what she they wanted her to do.”
“Once the prosecution removed Peyton from their list and realized she was of no use to them anymore they forgot all about her and literally left her in a coat closet at the courthouse,” said her mother.
Guy Reffitt was charged with multiple crimes for January 6th, including “Using Physical Force or Threatening to Use Physical Force Against His Children Jackson Reffitt and Peyton Reffitt to Hinder, Delay or Prevent Their Communication to a Law Enforcement Officer or a Federal Judge”.
According to Sarah Reffitt, the 24 year old sister of Peyton and Jackson:
“All the evidence and recordings the prosecutors presented were taken out of context. “For example, when Dad said “traitors get shot”, he was NOT threatening my siblings! He was absolutely not talking about my brother and sister like the DOJ, media and prosecution keep implying. He said that in the context of a different discussion and they keep manipulating it. He was telling us about how people in certain countries can act like traitors. We are my Dad’s whole life and the only thing he cares about is us. I love and miss my Dad so much.”
“They probably pulled the minor daughter from testifying because they were reading The Gateway Pundit article exposing them and they saw the universal condemnation of their behavior and conduct in the reaction to the article,” said civil rights attorney John Burns. “It probably scared them because they thought the jury might run away from them. Or else they would have done it because they are heartless, soulless sociopaths.”
Here is what Nicole Reffitt had to say outside the courthouse after closing arguments today about the suffering her family has endured at the hands of the government:

According to Nicole:
“The prosecution just had a fairy tale that they were spinning. I would like everyone to know that what happened to my family, what has happened to my children…will happen to your children- they will come after you. They used a minor child as a pawn against her father and it is not okay- that is not okay in The United States of America. If we continue to to allow our freedoms to taken be away from us I can guarantee you this could happen to your family.
It’s so frustrating also to see the hold the FBI has over my son Jackson. I saw him at the courthouse after court today with FBI Special Agent on Domestic Terror Laird Hightower on one side of him and the court appointed social worker on the other.
I think this will have a long term affect on my entire family. We have been infiltrated by the government- they have used our private conversations, they have used my children against their father- and of course it is going to have a major effect on their psyche going forward.
“Keep your kids away from FBI Special Agent on Domestic Terror Laird Hightower based in Texas,” said Ryan of Citizens Against Political Persecution. “He will convince your kid you are a terrorist and coerce them into spying on you for the Government. He is the individual who got Jackson to tape his Dad. Watch out for that guy. He needs to know what he did was disgusting.”
*The jury is expected to return a verdict in the next day or two. We will keep you updated.
