I prefer the term political prisoners.

“I prefer the term political prisoners.”

That’s exactly what they are. The entire exorcise is to frighten everyone else into silence.

Welker said there was ...a difference between those convicted of crimes related to January 6 and hostages.

...and Ernst blindly accepted the premise - while she could well have argued there is no difference.

Consider even those who were over-charged and are no longer imprisoned. They were badgered into pleading to a lesser offense just to get out of a harsh prison environment likely far from home and family.

They now will be held "hostage", likely with fewer personal choices for a lifetime with the shadow of a criminal record.
