I’ll bet many if not most Jan 6th political prisoners forced to disavow Trump or stay locked up in jail, will discreetly communicate with Donald Trump that ‘they didn’t mean it, but saw no other way to be released from jail. They saw no other way to get their lives back. This is the America we have today, quite similar to acts done in Russia during the Cold War and before, under Stalin.

I would have a hard time confessing or apologizing to anyone for simply peacefully following a crowd into the “Peoples’ House”. It is a misdemeanor charge. It was nonviolent and carriers a Maximum $500 fine & six months in jail.

I would refuse to apologize. Demand a hearing as is my right & let them find me guilty. He has already served more than six months & would be released regardless.

You do not ever have to show remorse to be released after your sentence is complete.

I'd all but tell them to eat the peanuts out of my SH!T.

They must demand their speedy trial rights. They are not being given a speedy trial considering that the offense carriers less jail time than they have already served. Their cases should be dismissed. They have all been held as political prisoners & it is high time that our Republican Elected Representatives do something about it.

Why there aren't any right wing lawyers OR at least a few congressmen & senators bashing the DC courts nonstop is ridiculous.

I’ve seen rowdier high school field trips than the ‘insurrection’!

He should be pleading that the Feds are running a Kangaroo Court.

yeah, nine months of solitary confinement will change a lot of minds.

It’s hard.

This is very hard. It’s a lot harder tren I was thinking it would be.

The reality is that we, or me, may not survive this.

My father died of cancer. And her knew from the diagnosis that that was that.

I’m starting to think likewise.

After the jail experience of these guys I would agree.

I would say and do anything to get out.

But when I did get out, I would become a very, very dangerous man.

This government and these cretins ate creating millions of people so desperate that they have nothing to lose.

This is how violence happens.

I am guilty of being an idiot

Along with all of the other idiots pushing the “insurrection” narrative.

Although I’m not in the legal field, I consider myself as having broad general knowledge.

Am I the only person that has never heard of “parading” as a crime before?

I have wondered that same thing sincee Jan6th; why aren’t more GOP showing vocal support for these locked away people?
Rand Paul cannot and should not do this alone.

The most probable answer is many GOP are somehow complicit in this injustice. The quiet ones obtain some sort of benefit from not challenging it. That’s a very discourging answer, but the most obvious.

And yes, I would think a few conservative leaning lawyers (assuming they exist) would be eager to make their historic mark by defending these people.

“ This is how violence happens.”

I think that’s what they are hoping for, for a violent reaction, so they can label us terrorists and have cause for emergency powers to confiscate weapons, and lock up more without trial.

Most of the Democrat DC District "judges" are just political stooges, like Roland Freisler was in wartime Germany.

Don't ever get involved as a conservative with the DC District - you might end up with a Lefty "joodge" [stooge judge] like Amy Berman Jackson, who allowed a rigged jury against Roger Stone.

He doesn’t need to apologize to me. Now antifa ought to speak up and apologize for so much.

He’s fallen into the hands of that POS commie, chief district “judge” Beryl Howell, appointed by the Halfrican Punk, Odiousbama.
