Defense attorneys have coined the term “January 6 Jurisprudence” to describe the treatment received by the more than 1,200 defendants arrested so far in connection with the events of Jan. 6, 2021. This carve-out legal system involves the unprecedented and possibly unlawful use of a corporate evidence-tampering statute; excessive prison sentences and indefinite periods of pretrial incarceration; and the designation of nonviolent offenses as federal crimes of terrorism.
A universal feature is the requirement that a Jan. 6 defendant, usually a supporter of Donald Trump, face trial in Washington, D.C., a city overwhelmingly populated by Democrats.

GOP DAs must find Democrat transgressions that take place at airports with the Democrat on vacation.
Bumping into someone at the airport is battery.
The point of all this is it must not be official travel. That forces personal funds for legal expense. Repeatedly.
Some organization has to orchestrate this since it cannot be the DA office.
Defendants in all criminal cases should be granted a change a venue.
Never forget the reason for the left’s treason, the peaceful protest of a botched election...
