Going full Soviet: Judge releases Jan. 6 defendant on bond after he renounces Trump

Comrades must recognize "reality" now — so it goes here in the United States.

The jailing of the Jan. 6 riot defendants is not just an obvious miscarriage of justice, given the length of time they've spent in detention without trial. It's also turning into something that's full Soviet.

Here's the latest from one Judge Amy B. Jackson, who, after denying release at least once to one guy, went ahead and let him out. He's a Buffalo, New York-based defendant named Thomas Sibnick, who's recanted:

WASHINGTON — A federal judge reversed her bond decision Tuesday for a Capitol riot defendant accused of robbing a D.C. Police officer — in part because she found "toxic" conditions in the D.C. Jail were likely to contribute to his further radicalization if he was kept in pretrial detention.

U.S. District Judge Amy B. Jackson released Thomas Sibick, 35, released to his parents' Buffalo, New York, home under 24-hour incarceration on Tuesday after hearing from his lawyer and a tearful plea from his father, Dr. Eugene Sibick, a former officer with the U.S. Navy who publicly criticized his son's detention at the "Justice for J6" rally in September and has called him a "political prisoner."

A good thread of what went down, with far more relevant details from WUSA reporter Jordan Fischer, was retweeted by journalist Glenn Greenwald and is worth reading here.

Confessions are big with the KGB, as they were with the Gestapo. Why are fascists so determined to make people confess?
—
They were central to Mao’s Cultural Revolution, and to all dictatorships. Fascists, communists all love a good show trial. They are currently big in the CCP’s China.

Confessions (usually false and written by Party apparatchiks) make it easier to enforce whatever edicts the Leadership comes up with, serve as a marker others do not want to cross into, and grants more power and control to the Central Authority over its people.

Does the letter denouncing President Trump end with, "I ask only that Comrade Biden may order that I be executed quickly, so that I can die while my mind is still free from this infection!"

Talk about a corrupt justice system.
