Kokesh’s friends claim he was framed
Someone sent us this long-ass video last night in which Kokesh’s housemates explain that the cops who raided the house set him up for the drug charges;
Yeah. old “Xanax and Gin” had to be set up. Meanwhile in related news, the judge in his case in DC is contemplating letting Kokesh out and foregoing bail according to the DCist;
According to court records, Kokesh appeared in D.C. Superior Court this morning and was once again denied bond on one felony count of carrying a gun outside a home or business. Update: To be clear, a judge is still considering granting him bond on this count. A decision will be made by the end of the week. He was granted a $100 bond for a misdemeanor drug charge by a separate judge.
A judge previously denied Kokesh bond on July 29, calling him a “very dangerous person.”
I guess he couldn’t raise the $5000 bond from his friends because hippies don’t have any money.

Of COURSE he was framed. Aren’t they always framed by ‘the MAN’ because of the truth that they know and the MAN doesn’t want us to find out? I’m sure Hollywood can make a movie out of this one too
Burn ’em.
Kokesh’s stupidity is an embarrassment to Marine Corps NCOs.
Also, I hate hippies.
So dufus in the County Jail Orange says… “We removed everything illegal from the house before the Feds came.”
BRILLIANT!!!!!!!
It was the Aliens man…..
Um…Yeah. I know these two are supposed to be speaking English, and I did recognize a few English words here and there, but WTF were these two trying to say?
How do you “frame” yourself?
Even if the “drugs” were a po-po plant (and with everything else going on around the east coast, I wouldn’t put it past “the man”), he’s still going to be hoisted by his own petard for the gun charges. The asshatery is strong in this one.
Supervised release, with an ankle tracking device would work – otherwise, keep Kokesh locked up.
Huh? Kokesh has friends?
Oh, man, did I miss that one. I thought he just had followers.
Well, Kokesh is indeed a bit of an idiot but based on what I see with bond granted to people who actually hurt other people denying him bail seems inappropriate. Being an idiot at large hardly represents the same threat level as being a pedophile at large and many pedophiles routinely receive bail. Additionally bail is designed to prevent flight, an ankle bracelet prevents that although one could argue that Kokesh is well known enough to make flight difficult.
I don’t know what the truth of this case is, I believe Kokesh is one of those guys always looking to find trouble and this time he has indeed found what he was seeking.
Regarding the cops planting evidence, it wouldn’t surprise me to find out that took place anymore than it would surprise me to find out Kokesh and his hippie pals were high as kites when they were busted….I don’t trust the cops anymore than I trust Kokesh.
As I’ve said before, he spent way more than $5K on radio spots here in New Mexico when he ran for Congress. The folks who bankrolled him then, can’t help him now?
This explains volumes.
IVAW = Losers.
Holy crap!
With friends like that, who needs enemies?
A procecutor’s dream … keep talking!
I imagine this wouldn’t be as laughable if he hadn’t just been arrested for ruining a perfectly peaceful pro-marijuana rally in Philadelphia just a few weeks prior.
