The January 6 riot was the worst day in American history, according to the Left. It was worse than Pearl Harbor. It was worse than the American Civil War. It was worse than the 9/11 attacks. It was worse than JFK’s assassination—all of which is false. If you think that, you’re either hysterical or historically illiterate. Was it a riot? Sure. Was it an armed insurrection? No. Not even close. No one was armed, which is a fake news narrative. These folks didn’t kill any cops either. Officer Brian Sicknick, whose name has been disgustingly weaponized to smear Trump supporters, died of natural causes that day. The only person to be shot and killed inside the Capitol building was Ashli Babbitt. And for some reason, we need some dog-and-pony show committee to investigate what really happened. We all know why this was set up. It was to get Trump—again.
I guess Congress missed the FBI concluding the there was no Trump-rioter collusion with this riot. Also, I’m pretty sure hundreds of people have been arrested and treated outrageously as a result. These people aren’t al-Qaeda. Yet, their jail conditions are reportedly poor with allegations of civil rights violations. And now, we have a judge calling on the Biden Justice Department to investigate the allegations of mistreatment, adding that some of it looks “deliberate” (via WaPo):
A federal judge found the warden of the D.C. jail and director of the D.C. Department of Corrections in contempt of court Wednesday and called on the Justice Department to investigate whether the jail is violating the civil rights of dozens of detained Jan. 6 defendants.
U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth of Washington acted after finding that jail officials failed to turn over information needed to approve surgery recommended four months ago for a Jan. 6 Capitol riot defendant’s broken wrist.
The defendant, Christopher Worrell, is an accused Florida Proud Boys member charged with four felonies, including rioting and spraying pepper gel at police at a critical point leading to the initial Capitol breach.
The failure of D.C. officials to turn over medical records is “more than just inept and bureaucratic jostling of papers,” Lamberth said in a hearing, raising the possibility of deliberate mistreatment.
“I find that the civil rights of the defendant have been abused. I don’t know if it’s because he’s a January 6th defendant or not, but I find this matter should be referred to the attorney general of the United States for a civil rights investigation into whether the D.C. Department of Corrections is violating the civil rights of January 6th defendants .?.?. in this and maybe other cases.”
Lamberth stopped short of imposing further civil sanctions on jail officials, who belatedly produced the records Tuesday, or ordering the release of inmates. But he suggested that the U.S. Marshals Service may have to move inmates from the D.C. jail to other detention facilities if they are being treated improperly.
Some of the proposed jail sentences for trespassing on federal property are nuts. They’re acting as if these guys had been part of setting off a dirty bomb in DC. It was none of that and even judges are calling out these guidelines. Why? They’re beyond constitutionally vague. Some January 6 defendants are accused of “obstructing an official proceeding” of Congress. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta for the District of Columbia was one of those judges.
“Essentially, what you said is, ‘Trust us,’ and that is a real problem when it comes to criminal statutes, to suggest, ‘We know it when we see it, and we’ll pick and choose when it is an appropriate exercise of prosecutorial discretion,’” he said.
Much of it was NOT even a riot, it was a walk through.
I would think that a finding of contempt of court would be a significant contributor to a follow on finding of the removal of qualified immunity.
The January 6 riot was the worst day in American history, according to the Left.Also according to Bret Baier AKA Fox News.
Fox News Jan 6 bile is the Fox News diversion for what was the real worst day. The day A major news organization (AKA Fox News) became complicit in election fraud to illegally defeat a sitting President at any cost.
Why would they do that?...Hatred...period.
Seriously? Some of these people have been in jail for almost 10 months now, for trespassing at the most! I’ve written to six conservative U.S. senators about this; no response from any of them. These people are in solitary!
How can this happen in our country?
Asking the Just-us department to investigate is like asking the fox to guard the henhouse. I can tell you before they even start what their conclusion will be.
Nancy Pelosi staged the whole Jan 6 fiasco. It was a setup. The delay in President Trump’s speech prevented Pelosi’s conspiracy from going as planned.
The goal is to malign and intimidate patriots because the aspiring tyrants know that patriots are a real obstacle to their plans.
But there will still be a war. And the left will lose.
The best day in American history will be when a group of patriots gather enough stones to go break them out of the DC communist prison camp.
Conservative...or are they just good Republican party members? Of course that might answer the question of why you've gotten no replies.
Yes, I can only loosely describe it as a riot. To my knowledge, no buildings were burned, no cars were destroyed, etc.
If you search for "damage to capitol building on Jan. 6" you will see very little damage in the photos. There looks to be a broken mirror, but I don't see any paintings that were damaged, I don't see any statues that were toppled. There's a picture of the guy carrying Nancy Pelosi's podium, but it was later found - it was never stolen, just moved.
And there will be a reckoning. Some during the war and some after the war is over.
Governor Abbot has pushed bail reform in Texas. Maybe the Feds should look into it.
# Much of it was NOT even a riot, it was a walk through.
The ‘rioting’ was done by FBI plants.
# How can this happen in our country?
When you live in a banana republic without the rule of law, this is exactly what you expect from the government.
